“In time, black agents of revenge, the Furies, wear down and bring to nothing the fortunes of a man who prospers in unjust ways.”

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

One thing I didn’t realize about being a parent is how incredibly cool it is when your kid shares your interests. @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social and @nataliehaynes.bsky.social are hugely responsible for my ability to share my interests with my 12yo in ways that are fun for him, and I am so grateful.

I’m really looking forward to this; I’m enjoying McGill & Wright’s translation, and they’re both at Rice! Love to see Houston represented here.

Pulling books off the shelf for research and was delighted to see I’d stuck my favorite bookplate in @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social translation of The Iliad.

When OLED TVs debuted the manufacturers knew they were susceptible to screen burn-in but only if the user has the same image on screen for like 12 hours at a time. Then a lot of older buyers burned the cable news logos into their screens because it's on the entire time they're awake.
I guess on a very basic level we need to tell people over and over that watching cable news is not something a smart person does it’s the opposite of that. You can feel free to watch Top Chef or baseball or Mario 64 speedruns, none of them, genuinely, will make you as ignorant as CNN shouty bullshit

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?
Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

I don’t wanna hear shit from the MAGAt media about Jasmine Crockett’s manner of speaking when they constantly celebrate John Kennedy, who sounds like Foghorn Leghorn fucked a shoebox full of Gary Busey quotes.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.
