i have a relatively high tolerance for steepness/speed/bare altitude ... the idea of experiencing any of that in a narrow chute makes me wanna throw up

YouTube video by Nikolai Schirmer The line you only ski once

wanna learn how to say "fucking rowdy" in norwegian www.youtube.com/watch?v=bely...

i keep watching POV videos of people skiing dangerous couloirs and giving myself little proxy panic attacks to, i guess, just permanently sand off the edges of my psyche? i dunno but i keep doing it

i think the next time i want a nice headshot taken of me i'll just start a centrist newsletter or complain that the left is censoring my views so the NYT will send someone to my house to do it for free

Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists “violent” and said they are involved in “riots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents. “There’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to family—more than family—checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me. If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Sex And Babymaking But Not In A Creepy Eugenic Way

ya

yeah in Seth's America there's also a cartoonish amount of babymaking

right???

Seth's America would have a cartoonishly massive IRS. we'd employ half a billion Americans, give them all cool jackets, and make April 15 a federal holiday. we'd call tax collectors "troops" and make movies about them

i kinda think that would be sick but i am biased

not Chris Dudley1!?!!?

The last few years have seen the largest wave of immigration in American history. All those images we carry in our heads about people arriving at Ellis Island — we just surpassed that. Crime went down. Real wages went up. This is a fake problem. Enough is enough.

get rid of ICE, get rid of CBP, get rid of DHS, let the IRS and idk maybe a national agency of social workers handle everything at the border. Seth 2028

this is an important bluesky post for me. saving it so i can explain myself years from now

yeah can i hold like 50k to make a cardboard sign? i need markers

this guy i saw has friends and family who enjoy his company. they all hang out together, smile and laugh and even share food sometimes. clearly this is some kind of op with a million-dollar bankroll and a staff of paid actors, but where does the money come from? Soros?

This movie is more racist than I anticipated

I think they’re all just versions of Sat On Couch And Thought I Was Sonic The Hedgehog For 10 Minutes

watching Happy Feet for the first time and this is the closest available comparison to what salvia feels like

every new image I see of Zohran he’s wearing another custom jacket that I want. He’s losing my support because of envy

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

anyway something I've noticed about myself is that my values are changing. i feel differently than i used to about who deserves what and what i'm okay with uhhh happening to people

I would die for Socrates and then come back to life for Socrates

absolutely right
