It's not a binary state, and with that said: There are people who never feel like an adult, and there are people who have always felt like they had to be the adult. Neither is better than the other, nor is one always a more successful adult than the other, but you can often tell who is whom.

I once again beg all y'all not to screencrap nonsense from the former Twitter and bring it here to dunk on it, that's like inviting a vampire in to tell them their fangs look stupid, maybe you're right but they're still going to fucking eat you

(also "screencrap" was a legit typo but I left it in)

When I turned 25 I was legit deeply concerned that I had not yet written The Great American Novel, now at 56 if I could time travel back to meet that young fellow worried about not having birthed a True Work of Timeless Art in his first quarter century, I would, lovingly, turn the hose upon him

A Powerhouse Writer Found One Word to Change the Debate About Tech

Delighted that Cory is having a moment with "Enshittification," because it's an accurate word for what's happening in tech and he's the right person to describe it.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Well, you have to write the story to BE serialized, which means paying attention to a structure that makes people want to stay engaged week after week. After that you have to market it, and that's always a real issue. Marketing is always a challenge for any commercial creative endeavor.

These are giving @scarfolk.bsky.social vibes, which I suppose means Scarfolk did a really good job of internalizing 20th Century poster design

Honestly if you want at least some insight as to why "classics of literature" are constructed as they are, it's worth knowing the market imperatives of the time. American science fiction and fantasy started in magazines and drugstore racks; short stories and 40K novels were how people go paid...

Bondi Does Not Deny Epstein Had Pics Of Trump With 'Half-Naked Young Women'

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump? DoD official responds: Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department. Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders AI Could Wipe Out the Working Class | Sen. Bernie Sanders

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

oh shit! yay! I had such a great time with the first book in this series, Hench, and had no idea another one was in the works.

I sure hope Hegseth sees this.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Serious question:
What can be done to stop the Speaker from just not swearing in a Congress person? God is no legal expert but it sounds unconstitutional!

Donald Trump: “We’re going after the worst of the worst.”

ICE arrests two men at a Chicago area bakery. Workers, not criminals. And this is why they need the National Guard?

Why does Trump think he's going to get away with jacking up health premiums on families by 75% in order to fund a giant tax cut for his billionaire pals?

Because he thinks his campaign to repress free speech will keep us quiet.

But he's wrong. We are fighting back.
