In MGMT's song "Kids," one of the lines is
"You pick the insects off plants, no time to think of consequences." Now, the rhyme scheme should rhyme "plants" with "consequences." This is why this whole afternoon I just keep singing "no time to think of conseQUANTSes"

i think george lucas might have been reading lord of the rings when he made the first star wars films. because obviously “frodo” rhymes with “yodo.” and like frodo, yodo was a short little hero who carried a mystical glowing sword. kind of a cool tip of the cap from lucas there

I give through the Zakat Foundation, who I learned about from Sami Zayn. Giving can feel so futile in a world governed by evil men, but that makes it more imperative to do what we can.

The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

Another friend was falling under the spell of fascist YouTubers - the only thing that broke that spell was showing him how much his rants were hurting the people who he loved and trusted. He was lonely, isolated, hooked on YouTube. What brought him back wasn't clever debate, it was human company.
We lost one friend in Berlin to far-right radicalisation, despite great patience. Very, very smart guy in his chosen area, totally lacking in social or political curiosity outside it. His world-leading expertise in one narrow field made him discount anything we had to say about race or sexuality.
Part of this dynamic is the way algos make people feel like they’re thinking for themselves and being independent-minded, all while they are being played for fools, their minds hijacked by behaviour-altering parasites

CECOT is a concentration camp, let's get that out of the way right now.
None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

yo I'm sorry to put a Trump tweet on yr timeline, generally speaking this is to be avoided, but a guy who absolutely would not spot you the cost of a cup of coffee telling big companies to eat the losses he dealt them and throwing "as is said" into the line to frame it as normal, that's the vintage

This makes me feel sorry for the alien crew in the spacecraft observing earth that’s trying to decide if they should give humans the cure for cancer or turn earth into a hot lil pebble
The interview comes on the heels of intensified scrutiny of Ms. Rachel, who has been accused of antisemitism by some online critics who take issue with her posts about Palestinian children.
Ms. Rachel doubles down support for children in Gaza
“It’s sad that people try to make it controversial when you speak out for children that are facing immeasurable suffering,” the YouTube educator said in a recent interview with Zeteo.

I am unapologetically telling you right now that Chicago is going to be insufferable about this, there is still a fading cardboard John Paul II in a Michigan Ave storefront looking out at Grant Park because he spoke there *once.*

When somebody whose immunocompromised child couldn’t get a booster is driven to act out their rage after that child comes to harm, I don’t wanna hear even one “not like this.” These people are enacting murder as public health policy. They are making their own beds.
as @beyerstein.bsky.social’s quote here notes, “be nice to antivaxxers” has not worked.
