And not only should this frighten the fuck out of people but even more worrisome to me is that there’s democrats who actually sign up to some of this shit with the digital age consent shit and watching that stupid fuck Joesph Gordon Levitt ask for the end of section 230 but only bc he’s a Zionist.

Because their entire belief system is built on reactionary politics and antagonizing people. At no point are they trying to reclaim joy, they're trying to suppress it in others. They confuse enjoying the suffering of others with joy. And also, for a bunch of haters, they're not even good at that

Artist uses Harry Potter books to make portraits of murdered trans women A Vermont-based artist is making a statement after using Harry Potter books to make powerful portraits of murdered trans women.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do with my Harry Potter books, because just dumping them in a little free library felt wrong. So I mailed them to this artist who was turning them into portraits of murdered trans women

Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat forever. Steal a fish from one man, give it to another, and tell the second man that he needs to pay you a subscription fee every month if he wants to keep getting fish, then you’ve successfully disrupted the fish market.

37 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION!
Want to volunteer but don't know where to start?

Here’s our campaign schedule this week:

A screenshot of text. It reads: "So what is to be done about your recollections of Super Bowl The X Of L? Nothing. Forget it ever happened. Tell your friends you were watching curling, or went to late Sunday church, or fell asleep at halftime. The Make-Super-Bowl-Monday-A-National-Holiday Movement took a genuine beating because nobody needs to rest up after this one, let alone pretend the game took too much out of your will to work. It was, in one way, the worst kind of game—the one that leaves no trace once the on-field confetti cannons have been silenced. American commerce and post-modern entertainment standards did their best but, for one of the rare times in modern sport, the game never came close to pulling its weight. It was what we thought it would be, the way we thought it would be what it was, and frankly, nobody wants that level of predictability. They wanted the game Bad Bunny played instead, and nobody will be surprised if he isn't made the early betting favorite for Super Bowl The LX&I, next year in what by rights should be San Juan."

Ray Ratto watched the Seattle Seahawks crush the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, and he has some thoughts:

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

the fantasy of sprinting through neighborhoods wearing predator cloaking tech and smashing every single ring doorbell camera with a fireplace poker. blinding the AI, home by home

That was very much not Liam Ramos in Bad Bunny’s performance - his image has been plastered all over this site for weeks. Very strange thing to imagine.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

The tens of thousands of incredibly mobilized people who volunteer for D campaigns and are currently out in the streets protesting ICE and mobilizing with rapid response groups in hyperlocal neighborhoods are NOT gonna pull out all the stops for people like Gavin Newsom or Elise Slotkin in 2028.

my dad's libertarian friend gave me $175 in crypto for my college graduation and was like "don't pull it out, it's gonna go up." i left the flash drive in a box and forgot about it, i checked it the other day and its worth $26 now lmfao

The highest-ranking Democrat in the House went on to explain the concept as, "When you work hard and play by the rules in the United States of America, there should be no ceiling to the success that you can achieve." The idea posits that everyone should have the government's support to pursue the American Dream without limiting the success available to those already at the top.

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

It is delicious, though!
