There really wasn't much of substance to engage with in Trump's SOTU, but the childish, 1950s-vintage vision of US History it ended with is notable for its ultra-nationalist and eliminationist logic. David Neiwert gets at it here. open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.”
NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
Yes! This is a still from the snowpocalypse movie QUINTET (1979) starring Paul Newman and directed by Robert Altman.

Q: Why does AWP barely touch the crises in academia?
"70% of the academic workforce is now contingent labor."

Netflix: We're so poor, pls stop sharing your account 🥺 But you can give us a little bit of extra money to keep sharing?
Okay, fine, here you go.
Netflix: lmao nah, we're still flagging that shit, get lost.

Everybody talks abstractly about how a quarter-century of far-right governance turned one of the most culturally and politically diverse states into New Hungary, but this ground-level look at Floridians and ICE really drives home the fascism of it all www.floridabulldog.org/2026/02/terr...
21.02.2026 15:41 — 👍 55 🔁 27 💬 3 📌 4Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

Thank you, sir!
I used that moniker back when I thought my first name sounded too much like a plumber's or a mechanic's and then I figured, What the hell, just use it.
