"The educated poor is a class that used to make up the creative life of New York City....A reasonable cost of living & local & national programs [made] a dignified life accessible for more Americans & gave people the ability to provide for themselves and their families while still living creatively.

Absolutely. I still haven't seen it despite being gay but Garland unlike her daughter has always been a blindspot aside from the Minnelli collabs.

Now looking up Victory over the sun! Did you do that makeup with liquid eyeliner btw?

"the moon is trans and a lesbian" is one of my favorite stickers ever.

enough of you have provided me with explanations for why people do it that i understand it's a trend. it's a stupid fucking trend. it looks stupid. it makes audio worse. i can't stop the youth and won't try, but if you're a professional, stop doing the AV equivalent of wearing a shoe on your head.

It rocks that the online voice of the US government is "computer-damaged reactionary virgin."

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

It’s also a direct penalty for driving a sedan or station wagon when every third car is an SUV blasting its headlights at you at the exact height of your forehead

The Olivia Nuzzi Comeback Is Everything Wrong With Modern Media Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends."

The best thing I have read about her. www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.

So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

The DOJ Subpoenaed Patient Info From a Gender-Affirming Care Clinic. It Fought Back. A Washington judge quashed the Trump administration's attempt to subpoena patient information from the telehealth practice QueerDoc—but the fight may not be over.

NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won.

My terrorism class finished a section on jihadists and is now discussing white nationalists, and it occurred to me that in some states (Florida? Texas?) I might not be allowed to teach about the latter, since it mentions race, and doesn't balance it out with pro-white-nationalist-terrorism readings.

The AI Bubble Is Bigger Than You Think - The American Prospect It’s not just OpenAI that looks overhyped. There’s a whole mountain of sketchy financial engineering underneath.

From the people who brought you the financial crisis, Theranos, and Juicero: say hello to data center financial engineering!
I'm pretty nervous about this ending badly, but everyone's dug in because AI is the only pulse in the economy.

i just want to add to this that America has always had a completely deranged relationship with fame and celebrity, it's like the north star of our entire culture even as most other stuff is being stripped away. and this kind of stuff feels like the logical result of that

when we talk about efforts to "erase DEI" can we be more precise and say "efforts to re-segregate workplaces and schools"

The description of the pre-car-propaganda hatred of car crashes and the idea of children “having a right to the street” is so blackpilling in how thoroughly gone it is. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

Oh hell yeah. I was going to pre-order it anyway since I still hadn't bought Gender Trash but that's really cool to know you liked it.

this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service

Cover to Japanese magazine Pia depicting the Phantom of the Paradise (now with two eyes for some reason).

Phantom Of The Paradise on the cover of Pia No. 33, May 1975. Founded in 1972, Pia covered film and entertainment events throughout Tokyo and has since expanded greatly.

I'll never get over the fact that gutting USAID might ultimately kill more people than the Holocaust and yet Musk is free to walk around like nothing happened.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

I have been thinking about this line today, on the value of editors, from the late great John Bennet, for no reason in particular.
