bc the Romans were a bunch of fucking cops

Jamelle Bouie has reached out to apologize for the harassment I received for the past week as well. just got his message today.

i wanna reiterate that i don't think he's at fault for the worst things that have occurred and i don't want people harassing him on my behalf. let's just be adults. 💖

1940s map of the US showing hog distribution. Legend says "each dot represents 5,000 hogs." Map is evenly covered in light dots except for Indiana, which looks like it's growing a melanoma, and Iowa, which is fucking Hog City and has so god damn many hogs that they're spilling into the Mississip and being carried away downstream. It's like a god damn plague of locusts that's so many hogs. Jesus.

this wine mom is a slut for GMOs

I can tell that my meds have been working for me bc i went from completely dependent on this kinda setup (and still struggling) to burning through books in a single day so long as I have quiet.

I'm the last goon standing who tries to Tim Robinson their way out of it until we smash cut to me flying into a dumpster

When I was 6, I was being helped off of a horse I'd been riding and it got spooked when my foot got caught in the stirrup. I was dragged for like 3 or 4 minutes but somehow came out of it with nothing worse a scraped knee. By all rights, I should be dead.

the first part of a subtitled video of a bird of paradise and David Attenborough. the subtitles begin: [Video of venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough standing amid vegetation. On a near-horizontal branch above his head is a brown and yellow greater bird of paradise, about the size of a crow, with big floaty yellow plumage puffing out along its back.] Bird: Pwuk. Pwuk. Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough: This, surely – Bird (hopping along the branch): WUKWUKWUkwukwukwukoooh. Oooh. Oooh. [Cut. Same shot.] Venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough: This, surely, is one – Bird: Kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark kark it continues at the link.

another classic of the genre previewed here, filed under “subtitles are art if you aren’t a coward”

Black and white 1960s photo of North Texas State U football player kneeling. His number is 69 lol nice.

Francis, you're men, you're simply supposed to go without that thing for the rest of your life

Also:

Do you think the Pentagon's legal people even bother trying to convince him not to release war crimes footage? Or have they just given up even speaking to that man?

It's part of Hegseth's daily Call of Duty recap bullshit, he declassified it bc he thinks this shit's cool

55 burgers 55 fries 55 hotdogs

Like that's not even hyperbole or a rhetorical argument, it is plain legal truth upheld in Federal court numerous times!

They're supposedly adapting Cleat Cute into a series but it kinda seems like they can't get funding? The hockey show put eyes back on it but it hadn't made any progress after like 2 years.

It's lesbians so we're probably safe from any media investment or attention whatsoever lmao 😭

it also feels a whole lot like ppl not listening to the archivists sounding every alarm bell they can conceive of? 20 years seems especially on the nose when you can look back and see the outline of the space where The Movies no longer exists.

I would love to not have to light a candle and pray whenever Notepad freezes trying to save a fucking text file

thank you for your service. the tribunal hereby finds you guilty.

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

it seems like these studies are mostly looking at patients who meditate as their primary or only form of therapy? like I think it should be severed from mental health and the whole industrial complex around Mindfulness, but like I still think introspection is good.

fucking punk-ass thinks he's Curtis LeMay

even if it's footage captured on a cell phone, that is still a piece of media and I think operates the same way? there is a galvanizing power to media, but it isn't necessarily in the witnessing. that's what Brecht's Street Scene is abt: finding how much is actually necessary and finding what isn't.

the apocryphal Truffaut quote is that there's no such thing as an anti-war film. while what he said was more complicated, it still rings true for the reason he did say: "to show something is to ennoble it." Come and See is maybe the most one-sided anti-nazi film ever made and nazis eat that shit up.

there's a longer version on instagram from another angle that shows all the fucking generals and non-press/public audience of the committee refusing to even turn around and look at this guy. being confronted with that level of base inhumanity right before your eyes really shook the camerawoman

my great-uncle also worked at that brick company and invented the machine they used to make thin brick tiles, which is like their main source of revenue today. never saw a penny. they were good union jobs but my family still got fucked over by that company time and again.

paternal grandpa had to sit out WW2 to run the family farm as a Victory Garden. he did that his whole life and also kept a Massachusetts brickmaking company alive through sheer force of will as its head mechanic

maternal step-grandpa was a real estate and insurance salesman. bio grandpa just drank.
