The simultaneity of memory in Arrival is sci-fi time-travel Proust (also best use of “on the nature of daylight” — apologies to Hamnet)

Loved the music in this movie. Glad I saw it on the big screen

Some poor kid working as a paid canvasser (I’m assuming) approached me last night in Sugarhouse, telling me he was collecting signatures to prevent gerrymandering. Absolute bad-faith garbage.

I saw a bunch of the older kids from Rose Park Elementary last Friday protesting. The kids are alright

The Januaryists
TV Dinner on the Radio
Clamp Your Hands Say Yeah
Harvey Danger to Himself and Others

I tried not to repeat ones already in replies, including some greats such as:
Modest Maus

There’s a direct line from Al Gore “creating the internet” to Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” to Biden’s “nothing will fundamentally change” of popular people deciding to run with a made-up version of what was said rather than, y’know, the actúa reasonable thing that was said.

I would like a slice of chocolate cake

Gently corrective tone: Worst day of our lives SO FAR ☺️

We may no longer have snow in Salt Lake City, but at least our air quality is also absolute ass and median home prices are $531,000, average $560,000 🙃

Imagine being left alone with all the books you could fit in there

Would

She deserves every award. Can’t think of a public figure off the top of my head who’s that smart every time she says anything, and she’s doing it under the most scrutiny and with the highest stakes

What a headline though!

Or submitting to @moistpoetryjournal.bsky.social 😅

Wait, do you pronounce it Gillian or Gillian? I’ve never heard her name said before, and I’ve always thought it was pronounce Gillian. Don’t want to be wrong here though

Inevitable headline:

“[dem candidate] criticized by some for scolding, belittling voters”

Eight paragraphs in we learn who “some” includes, and it’s MAGA mouthpieces and white nationalist grifters

And in my experience, the theory is more “theory” — a few bullet points gleaned from edgy memes and tumblr banter rather than substance or nuanced understanding

“You gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” say the people who literally start crying if the government doesn’t protect their fake AI business with the violent force of the state

What kills kids in America:

1. cars
2. guns

Guess what the GOP has worked relentlessly to support for half a century now?

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

GIFT ARTICLE (no paywall). Masterpiece reporting here from Adam. He deserves awards for this.

“This is my first occupation,” Olsen said as I climbed into the truck. “Welcome to the underground, I guess.”

The new national industry.

Oh and drops

Crazy how Denver is playing better but it’s tied. Random mistakes, stupid playcalling, not taking the field goal — Denver will fix those good ups in the second half and run away with this

Ohhh I didn’t see dude’s name. Was thinking that one pic of the fan in a full Lampre kit, bibs and all

The Lampre guy?

Go broncos — Stiddy up!

I read Gwynne’s Hymns of the Republic on your recommendation a couple years ago. Great book. I’ll look into these others, too

“Mining rights” maybe that was the entire point

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Cancelling solar and wind projects while artificially propping up fossil fuels is a global surrender in energy, and it’s all because of reactionary political ideology. It’s an economic loss, a national security loss, a US jobs loss, a climate change loss (hence Greenland lol) — list goes on
