A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

i’m about as tech savvy as a clay pot, but i’m really just trying to provoke discussion about how #infosec views “the future”

so does #infosec just look at the cryptonerds and edgelord coders working for DOGE and what not as bootlicker script kiddies (that couldn’t recognize legacy code in Social Security’s database?)

there are pockets of exceptions—small and infrequently appearing ones—but #GTARP is easily the most toxic, drama addicted community in gaming.

BREAKING: The University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University has reneged on their commitment to host the @sciencewriters.org annual conference and withdrew their entire financial support.

The National Association of Science Writers is now looking for a new venue, sponsors, and partners.

hey #infosec i’m a humanities academic currently working on a book about our present as a (culturally) millenarian or apocalyptic moment. i want to include a chapter on what #infosec thinks of our future w/ special reference to MR. ROBOT & William Gibson. who’s willing to answer some qs? dms r fine

Ok that made me laugh

Eraserhead is a totemic piece of visual culture for Philly weirdos of all stripes. we have a mural dedicated to it near Philly MOCA.

this is exactly something Charles Bernstein would say. probably has said in some form or another. also, been reading him on the philosophy, poetics, and design aesthetics of Arakawa & Gins (Japanes painter & architect w/ American avant garde poet). it’s FASCINATING. made me think of u.

people forget that Bannon claims Lenin as a political influence. negating the influence of private equity on capital flow and employment is part of that. as is shrinking the state apparatus (it’s just that Lenin believes different things should be shrunk)

So when they say 'Neo-Tokyo is about to explode' that's a sex thing, right?

this never occurs to milquetoast liberals bc, in effect, they occupy the same privileged strata as many Republicans & if the guillotines were to return, they know they’d likely be queued up for them along side Musk. Politics is about self-interest. Not moral purity. Especially for the morally pure

To be clear, I am not advocating wanton murder & chaos. But as neo-Nazis & alt-right folks have been emboldened again, you, chaste and morally righteous libs, are endorsing setting a standard by which those who confront actual fascists w direct action short of murder can be hit w terrorism charges

The number of liberals I see whinging about Trump and celebrating charging Mangione with TERRORISM (I mean murder, fine, but terrorism?) is exactly why we are doomed. They want to curtail political violence from the left in the transition to fascism. Ask Chamberlain how that worked out.

We’re fucked less so bc Trump won, than bc Democrats and the media are fucking cowards and operating under the assumption that cooperation now will gain them favor with the MAGA base later. Bootlickers. Appeasers. Cowards. And just the opposite of how you run an opposition party.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

the bias against the “I” is strong now—it’s as if people have universalized the critique of the lyric “I” for all forms and genres of writing

what about those of us trying to find someone to publish us? lol the answer: Kristevian abjection

as we approach the holiday season, during this time of political tumult, i’d just like to remind everyone:

you didn’t ask to be born. yr parents owe you, you don’t owe them.
