Android should be the opposite of Apple. Don’t give me clean boring futuristic. Clunky, outdated, unwieldy like god intended. I want that phone to have the potential to be unrecognizable. This isn’t a phone, its a switchblade of apps and just as dangerous

A phone should be a swiss army knife. Each function unique and tailored to a specific purpose. We could have the equivalent of a super computer in our pockets at all times. The Library of Alexandria should feel insecure of what I have on hand. No more toys, I want a machine

I know posting excerpts from 1984 is passé but this is literally the fifth page of 1984
April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean. Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim away with a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along in the water like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights, then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank as suddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting with laughter when he sank. then you saw a lifeboat full of children with a helicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have been a jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old in her arms. little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between her breasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with fright herself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thought her arms could keep the bullets off him. then the helicopter planted a 20 kilo bomb in among them terrific flash and the boat went all to matchwood. then there was a wonderful shot of a child's arm going up up up right up into the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed it up and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down in the prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shouting they didnt oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aint right not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned her out i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the proles say typical prole reaction they never --

just witnessed a horse taking a piss

I decided I should immortalise this beautiful moment
crude drawing of a horse, taking a piss. The stream is so strong that it leaves shockwaves in its wake

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.
New York, NY – Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, candidate for Mayor of New York City, today announced ‘Zohran’s Law,’ a plan to protect the city’s rent-stabilized apartments from being occupied by high-income individauls, ensuring these limited, affordable units go to New Yorkers who actually need them. Under Cuomo’s proposal, when a rent-stabilized apartment becomes vacant, the incoming individual income would be capped so that the annual rent makes up at least 30 percent of that income. For example, if an apartment rents for $2,500 a month ($30,000 per year), the new tenant’s income could not exceed $100,000. New York City is in the grip of a housing emergency. The city does not have enough units, and the drastically low vacancy rate is driving up prices, squeezing families, and forcing many to leave in record numbers.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

Writing is funny because both my biggest brightest dream and stomach churning dread is having people read my book.

thought crimes are now illegal in the united states. it’s truly baffling that their anyone was ever convinced by the right being pro “free speech”. anyone who gave any credence to that argument is a rube

The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil, a legal permanent U.S. resident and graduate student who served as spokesperson for campus activists last year during large demonstrations against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and the war in Gaza. Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs. He said that while Khalil’s activities were “otherwise lawful,” letting him remain in the country would undermine “U.S. policy to combat anti-Semitism around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States.”

The U.S. House of Representatives just narrowly passed a Republican-backed budget plan, which proposes deep cuts to programs that support low and middle-income Americans. Key components of this plan include: • Major tax cuts primarily benefiting the wealthy • At least $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act • At least $230 billion in cuts to food assistance programs such as SNAP • $175 billion in new funding for mass deportation efforts • A $175 billion increase in military spending

Me trying to explain fascism to students: "A lot has to do with fear of supposedly stable gendered boundaries blurring, and how that maps onto racial and national hierarchies. But can I really say transphobia is the lodestone to fascism?"

Aleksandr Dugin: "Ukrainians are collective transgenders."
"Ukrainians are ‘collective transgenders’ – Dugin The country has bartered away its Russian identity for an “abstract and absurd alternative,” the political scientist has said Ukrainians are ‘collective transgenders’ – Dugin Alexandr Dugin. © Sputnik Ukrainians have become “collective transgenders” in their desire to get closer to the West and cut ties with Moscow, Russian philosopher and political scientist Aleksandr Dugin has said."

What a grim paragraph www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...
The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security's "death master file," which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result of being added to the death database, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.
