SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT
(Barry Shear, 1968)

Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier are partnered homicide detectives (as well as a closeted gay couple) who risk exposure while hunting a serial killer who targets homosexual men. With an Oscar nominated screenplay by Harlan Ellison.

The roundel of the Royal Jordanian Air Force, comprised of three concentric circles—black, white, green—and a red pie slice at the top with a white seven-pointed star. The roundel is displayed on Royal Jordanian aircraft fuselage and wings, such as the F-16 that on March 18, 2033 underwent an undisclosed mishap that led to the pilot parachuting to safety while the uncrewed F-16 continued on autopilot. Its tracking system went offline shortly after and the plane simply disappeared. The jet is still missing and presumed lost at sky.

The Bloodthirst Contessa

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

This is the kind of Extremely Specific Christmas LED Lighting Content I crave.

If you passed a law saying that anyone in the world could become an American citizen by emailing a form to the State Department, that would be fine, actually

Ugh. I respect Sohla and her work, and it’s depressing that she had to write this. “Online Video Content Place actually super sucks to work for” is sad but now almost routine—it’s happened too much to believe it’s anything but a pattern. The incentive structures at work here seem truly rancid.

A snippet of sheet music, starting with several quarter notes moving from A to C and down to F, followed by an A and F eight note combo. It’s a fairly accurate representation of what Stabler is humming. Benson glances over from the passenger seat, eyes narrowing. What song is that, she asks Stabler. I don’t know, he says, just something I remember from my dream last night. Benson suddenly clenches her sidearm. She keeps to herself that she hears the same song in her own dreams. Last night. And every night.

This, by the way, is what “pushing the borders inward,” in a Schmittian sense, looks like. Every day, a new class of people previously thought of as normal, fine, even untouchable becomes an enemy within. The border advances ever inward.

A lot of the shit this admin is doing is evil, but in line with America’s history and darkest impulses. *This* is un-American, anti-American. These folks “did it the right way” all the way up to their fucking naturalization ceremonies—typically scenes of joy. Nobody leaves them with a dry eye.

dumplings and flatbread are the brassica and carcinization of food, respectively

the *degree* varies, naturally, and like all jobs there’s annoying bullshit to deal with, but underneath it all is an understanding that you’re doing it for some aspect of the common good. And, of course, there’s the whole “swear an oath to the Constitution” thing.

this, I think, is closely related to the intentional and systematic assault upon the civil service—it is, genuinely, one of the places in America where people still largely believe in duty.

sigh, I must always repost this, the most accurate, and accursed, piece of internet prophecy known to man

so, so much of the actual mechanics of local government takes place via this kind of semi-private cartel, and by design it’s all deeply opaque. Wild to see this all put out in the open—but although KC’s CID might be particularly egregious, it’s far from unique.

I support the effort to scour Republicans from every single level of governance in this hell country, and that starts at home. The VA Dems ain’t perfect but by god they know how to wield power, and that’s the most important thing right now.

I’m SUPER excited about this project. I truly believe that one day we’ll be able to bike from Jamestown to Waynesboro without ever touching a surface street, and between the VA Capital and Three Notched Trails we’d be much closer to that goal.

Tbh being a gay dude is the ONLY thing that saved me as a deeply oblivious gay autist, my now-husband literally went to the gym with me and complimented my ass to total crickets from me until he literally just asked me what the fuck I wanted outright

it was foretold: our gift as a generation was to kill things. Most of them terrible, consumerist things. May we, at last, kill *this* terrible thing.

jokes on them, I *am* soft and sensitive, because I am not a calloused asshole who has ceased to feel

Yes! For me, em dashes and parentheses and commas all do a similar kind of thing: they serve to set off the Exciting Bonus Content that comes packed with all of my sentences as a fun extra courtesy of my brain goblins. LLMs don’t seem to use them that way as often.

It is indeed a moment of right-wing backlash—but elite backlash, not populist. The tail is trying to wag the dog. But while a false elite consensus can wield power, changing mass society to suit its reactionary whims is much harder.

Even by the standards of anti-woke journalism this is lazy dreck. The first piece of "evidence" that older gamers are mad about wokeness is a random Reddit comment — that isn't a complaint about wokeness.

Digger remains one of my favorite comic / graphic novels of all time, it is very very good. And then I went on to become an archaeologist. These things… *probably* aren’t related?

Reno’s Gay Rodeo is back - High Country News Nearly 40 years after an armed sheriff, anti-LGBTQ activists and a judge’s order shut down the Gay Rodeo Finals, this year the riders came home.

Sand Creek is now part of the National Park System. Congress, in its establishing legislation, charged it with working to ensure nothing like this ever happened again. This year, the administration put up QR codes there asking Americans to snitch on signage they viewed as insufficiently positive.
