everyone's talking about death of the artist, nobody's talking about death of the reader. I should be able to have a knife come out of my book and stab you.

“Measles at Disneyland” is simultaneously a news story, a metaphor for current events, and a good idea for an 80s Orange County hardcore band.

in general it is very strange for anyone — even gutter racists — to imagine the mediterranean world as somehow looking like northern europe.
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.
Elon Musk claims Christopher Nolan has lost ‘integrity’ over The Odyssey casting
Lupita Nyong’o is reportedly set to play Helen of Troy in Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic poem

A technology called X that slowly drives people crazy and makes them believe friends and colleagues have become part of a secret cult-like organisation called The Blob sounds like the plot of a high amphetamine consumption era Philip K Dick story rather than our current reality

I would not describe any part of this excerpt to be particularly accurate about Branch Davidians or the eventual siege other than Koresh was predictably abusive because all these guys are the fuckin same

Incredible how these people don't just twist the meaning and intention of the law, they make sure the law nabs the exact opposite of what was intended. What the shit.

"Some gay people aren't queer" has done irreparable damage to a lot of people's brains
I mean, let's be clear. Heated Rivalry was never queer. Nothing that's easily accessible for the reader or viewer is queer. The only really queer media is zines printed with the contributors' blood and then immediately incinerated. Everything else is straighty straight straight.

An impressively unhedged statement from Cdl McElroy, who
- refers to the “murders” of Good and Pretti
- says “We condemn without reservation the use of indiscriminate and lethal force against civilians”
- wastes not a word on lip service about “law enforcement” or “border security”

hashtag to read. Good thread tbh
Almost every major speech I've read of Hillary Clinton's, I've noticed how she laces them with Christian themes, which makes sense given her Methodist upbringing. Reading this, I thought "oh, this is a lady who knows her Bible."
