YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

I've probably already said this 50 times, but I'll say it again.

The Expanse is an absolutely stellar work of SF television. They really smashed it out of the park with this one.

Four attractive and charismatically famous friends excitedly tell stories over a campfire, the cosmos swirling around them in the night sky

In bold typography the words WORLDS BEYOND NUMBER float in the night sky, centered on a swirling vortex of cosmic energy

It takes making ONLY $2,000 USD a YEAR to be kicked off Medicaid in America. How is that helping ANYONE get a job?

How terrifying.

Yes this is a vagueskeet while watching a family member step into the gig economy of America with fingers crossed.

I thought this very same thing when I saw the commercial. Disturbing!

"The only good situations I've ever found were when everyone went in with high ideals and low expectations."

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.

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

Incredible. This whole interview was an affirmation for theater and the Arts. This monologue is especially poignant with Sir Ian's earlier commentary on Hammerstein's music. I was as moved as, I think, Colbert was.

Absolute chills

Okay, look, I wanna say something about this, because I know a lot of people are like "oh look the weird nerds are having a Day" and yes, we are.

But this is not really about 3D printing so much as it is about community.

I'll follow Coates anywhere he's speaking. I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he has to say. A brilliant journalist.

Preordered!

Iron Lung: What A Very Good, Very Weird Thing Movies like this don’t generally get to exist. Sorry — to rewind here a bit, I saw Iron Lung, the (very indie) Markiplier movie that adapts the David Szymanski game of the same name. To…

Decided to drop a quick little thing-of-thoughts at the blog about IRON LUNG, should you be a person who cares:

My best friend has just published a book of poetry of poetry exploring themes like chronic illness, disability, grief, loss and love.

If that sounds like the kind of thing you'd read, please consider taking a look!

People don't think about protests clearly enough. On one hand, *it was bad* that Alabama police brutally assaulted Selma marchers for obvious reasons. On the other hand *it was good* that the organizers were able to successfully provoke a brutal and unsympathetic public assault.

Correction Commissioner Richards speaks behind a podium while Mayor Mamdani stands next to him.

Today, I made historic appointments who will lead key agencies and create a city where everyone can thrive.

I appointed Stanley Richards as Commissioner of DOC. Decades after he served time in our city’s jails, Commissioner Richards will now be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead them.

The Epstein files are forcing me to contend with the idea that Bill Gates got an STI from a teenage girl and when Epstein wouldn’t help him get medication for it, Gates banned him from Xbox Live and what in the literal fuck are we doing here?
