"You will be haunted," resumed the Ghost, "by three spirits."

Interestingly, for the first time I can remember we go zero military costumes and only one cop costume (Brody, from Jaws, out with Quint and Bruce, so it's allowed)

I make no assumptions, but if @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wins handily, it’s gonna be a fascinating week for punditry cope, likely distilled to:

“OK, But Not Every Single Person Voted For Him”

“A Lot of People Voting for a Leftist Doesn’t Prove that a Lot of People Would Vote for a Leftist”

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I’m glad the Reagan ad is driving our big wet fascist pissbaby president mad, but still, fuck Reagan eternally. He fucking sucked

It’s Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers First published on October 9, 2009, this classic by Colin Nissan is our most-read article of all time. We’re celebrating the 16th anniversary of th...

"Felonies and gourds have one very important commonality: they’re both extremely fucking real."

I'm so tired of being so mad all the tiiiiiimmee

These motherfuckers. Block them all.

anybody who's good at history want to tell me if it's good or not to starve your troops

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Signal boosting this message bc we have to stop falling for these democrats who capitalize on crises to get into office and then keep sliding right

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

two pictures of Assata Shakur. the one on the left is a black and white picture of her smiling and looking down, with long black braids and wearing black. the one on the right is of her wearing a colourful dress and the skyline of a city that i don't recognize and a body of water in the background.

may Assata Shakur rest in forever peace, love & power

very grateful 4 all she did that will live on forever & that she lived as a free woman all these yrs

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

Idea: we should all make Starbucks write Oderus Urungus on our coffees and every morning, everywhere, clashing choruses of “Oderus Urungus!” and “Charlie Kirk!” will ring out across the land #GWARGate #GWAR

Having millions of people who categorically do not understand the concept of "it's a bit" suddenly exposed to GWAR is pretty magical

“Ladies and gentleman, GWAR”

You can't cancel Gwar you'll only make Gwar more powerful do you know anything about Gwar

Your library also has audio books. And most likely ebook/audio book apps like Libby, Hoopla, and cloudLibrary.

And that's just a tiny bit of the super cool stuff your library has. You should go check it out.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Luigi Mangione in court today he looks a little stronger and less scary thin than he did last time. He has a great haircut as always, and his brow game remains strong. He's in what looks like a tan waffle thermal long sleeves shirt pushed up on his forearms above his hands clenched together in front of his waist by handcuffs also attached to his waist by a leather looking belt. On top of his thermal shirt is a ran prison uniform top. There are cops on either side of him, and a photojournalist perched kind of up behind Luigi and the cops. The harsh florescent light is hitting Luigi from above in a way that when combined with the general composition of this photo and Luigi's generally very handsome angelic appearance, makes the whole thing look extremely accidentally renaissance

Accidental renaissance feat. the world's most photogenic man

Greetings! I’m here (and the incomparable @melbuer.bsky.social is here too!) at a march from MacArthur Park to Metro Detention Center. Metro Detention Center is blocked by a sizable LAPD contingent on both sides.

Conservatives' position is "you started it by punching back" and far too many liberals for far too long have been willing accomplices to this narrative.

Laugh at Trump’s ridiculous innumeracy, sure. But the commander of the world’s most powerful military is responding to relevant questions about the laws of armed conflict by claiming that the existence of drug deaths in general permits him to kill anyone he feels like, which is very serious.

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

How about some gun control legislation?? We don’t care about your “warm heart”

Great. He’ll probably declare war on Brazil tonight.
