Comedian Norm Macdonald on Saturday Night Live saying, "Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this story should die."

The New York City Menace's statement to Norm Macdonald dated February 27, 1996. It details Brandon Teena's tortuous rape and murder and forcefully condemns Norm for his hateful words on Saturday Night Live.

When you share this image, you are blindly repeating one of the most unapologetic, vile pieces of transphobia ever uttered on television. Spitting on Brandon Teena's grave for Internet points. I'm posting this because I still see it randomly posted without any context.

Matt Wuerker cartoon, Politico (Andrew McMeel Syndication) The Q shaman and two other MAGA activists outside a fence, one speech bubble reading “We sure showed those elites who’s in charge. Gate reads “Moolah Lago”. Inside a rendition of Mar-a-Lago golf palace with huge Trump-flag. The lawn full of helicopters marked different labels, like for instance “Wall St.”, “Big Oil”, “Guns R us”, “Crypto Bros”, “Big Ag”, “Big Tech”, “Musk”, “Bezos”, “Pharma”, “Coal”, “Zuck”, and several inbound choppers in the air.

Very good cartoonist in deed

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

holy fuck. we use magnetic tape backups for long-term storage *because* they're resistant to data loss, unlike modern storage methods.

If you are in any way shape or form someone who both is *and* understands what it means for you to *be* in contact with an archive of material, you need to start doing whatever it takes to protect those archives, right now.

From Marc Murphy: "Drawn 6 years ago today. It was rejected and called unfair and alarmist."

Bad math. The costs far exceed the savings. Therefore there are no savings. Combine that with the disruption of vital services and DOGE has been an unmitigated disaster and complete failure.

Stop settling for less than the bare minimum, and start demanding what we deserve. People have internalized learned helplessness when engaging with politics, and it's long past time that everyone realizes that nobody is coming to save us. If voting could fix this, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Something the left is plagued with especially in America is an inability to escape the essentially Christian moralist position that the correct approach to social problems is not materialist or systemic but rather that there are good people and bad people and we just have to punish the bad ones

The cool thing about liberal “democracy” is people like Henry Kissinger can be a state department fixture for years, never having been elected by the people, killing people and toppling governments all over the globe, and some don’t think that’s “authoritarian”

We have permanently lost the post-WW II economic & cultural position we have occupied since 1946. Historians will say the era of American dominance ended in 2025 but they'll have a "when did Rome fall" debate about it for a couple hundred years.

The Boomers may go down as a world-historic example of the people Ann Richards quipped about being "born on third base" — having come of age at the peak of unchallenged U.S. economic and geopolitical dominance — "and thought [they] hit a triple."

leave it to the Times to speculate on AI deserving human rights after spending years degrading the rights of pick a marginalized group.

This is the biggest corruption scandal in living memory.

“The genocide we are witnessing today, is something that I recognize from my own experience as a Holocaust survivor… What is happening today in Gaza is an extreme form of repeat genocide, a holocaust in our own time, in front of our eyes.” — Stephen Kapos

People see the artistic life as radically different in the degree to which it is bound by rules, but fundamentally similar in the degree to which it fulfills what we are truly called to do

Academic research focuses so obsessively on morality, but people also care deeply about other parts of life

(Lou Reed might not have been a moral exemplar, but we might think he was an exemplar of something else)

Alexandra Urisman Otto: Vad händer när en klimat-påve dör? Påven beskrivs inte bara som en religiös och politisk ledare – utan som en klimataktivist. Vad händer när hans röst nu har tystnat?

Skriver om påven som klimataktivist. Och om klimatrörelsen som krokar arm med rörelsen för mänskliga rättigheter. Som den palestinsk-amerikanska poeten Tariq Luthun sa vid klimatmötet 2023:
”Vad är det för mening med att finna en värld som är grön om rötterna är dränkta i blod?”
