Greetings from War ravaged Portland. Shocking footage from the front lines of the antifa super solider regiment gathering. As you can see, the entire force has assembled, ready to march. I’m hearing that they will embark once the officer corps is back from drag brunch and the edibles have kicked in

I'm a big fan of the Khan but I don't think "monitoring" is quite sufficient for this situation

A selection for your enjoyment
scottbaiowulf Male writers writing female characters: "Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards." biggest-gaudiest-patronuses calm down edgelords, the whole point of society is that it's not survival of the fittest. literally the point is that we're leveraging our collective strengths to lead to better outcomes for everyone. we've been doing it for a couple thousand years now tparadox The survival strategy our species dumped all its skill points in is cooperation and community. Don't like it?

Then why THE FUCK are you printing it
Screenshot of a live update on the Charlie Kirk shooting in the NYT, written by Glenn Thrush and Devlin Barrett According to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, federal and local officials recovered ammunition with the rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements "expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology." But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-moving investigations, such status reports are not made public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate information.

Trump’s speech:
To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad. Jack Handey

Evidently, ALSO a philosophy major (plus Black studies) according to Wikipedia anyway
Screeenshot from Wikipedia which reads in relevant part: During his time at the University of Oklahoma, where he graduated summa cum laude in philosophy and Black studies, Bruenig founded and ran a chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society and led a living wage campaign on campus.

Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between, Stephen Jay Gould:
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

No zinger, only depression
Instant Expert On: The Economy I know, so this is the point in your weekend BBQ chat where you need to be able to shift from data to i vibes it in order to keep the conversation flowing. Here's Christopher Mims in the Wall St. Journal reporting that our economy might just be three Al data centers in a trench coat: Capex spending for Al contributed more to growth in the U.S. economy in the past two quarters than all of consumer spending, says Neil Dutta, head of economic research at Renaissance Macro Research, citing data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Here’s a personal favorite of mine

Or: why authors need to let this shit go
About the Author Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was an inspiring teacher, popular lecturer and author, and the editor and translator of many books on mythology, including The Mythic Image (Princeton/Bollingen Paperbacks). What Our Readers Are Saying Lisa Brown: Meh. One. Big. Giant. ME H. For years, I've heard nothing but glowing reviews of this book, and I just don't get it. I'm sure it would be an amazing read if you actually read it really early on in your education so that you hadn't already received a distilled version of Campbell's song and dance from one high school English teacher or another, but given that I read it over a decade too late, I'm just stuck with an overwhelming sense of underwhelment. Hero's Journey + Monomyth = tell me something I don't know, Campbell. Not his fault, I know. But definitely not high on my to-read-again list. Definitely seems like a solid secondary source for literary research papers though.
