I had 3 ideas for Season 3.

1. Scary cult menaces Red Camp.
2. The hybrid people get food-service jobs, which gets them involved in labor issues.
3. A Presidential election.

I panicked. That’s way too much story!

Unless… it’s all one story?

The GIVE ME AWAY Season 3 two-part finale is live now.
Oh my goodness! Jaw dropping, compulsive, thrilling, intense listening in the Season 3 Finale from @macrogers.bsky.social - Give Me Away 0318: The Vector (Part One) and jump into (Part Two) right away. What a rollercoaster of a season, fabulous 💜

To propose that GenAI can compensate for "archival silences" perverts Trouillot's work. It's is a contradiction to say that a product whose logic exacerbates power imbalances--creating a most-likely guess based on the existing record--can restore absences that are the product of those imbalances.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I am so goddam proud of this episode of GIVE ME AWAY, I really think we crushed it on a bunch of levels. But fair warning: it may give you flashbacks to some… less-than-pleasant days in recent memory.

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

Two of the works I’m proudest of in my life, hardly seems a coincidence they’re written by Mac

A monochrome lesbian romantic horror fantasy about couples therapy, and an apocalyptic thriller set in a bro’s basement. The man has range.

Enjoy, spooky friends!
May I make two suggestions for your horror movie viewing this week? 'Cause I've written two horror movies, they're both under 80 minutes, they're both awesome, and they're both rentable on Prime for under five bucks!

Pure cinema, obviously, but it's a bit of a letdown that the chud that waddles in at the end who's randomly wearing a big white cowboy hat doesn't fire it onto the sidewalk Boss Hog style.

Great point from @emptywheel.bsky.social: Trump's sliding approval on immigration is because millions of citizens are bearing witness.

"All of it starts from the people—both private citizens and independent journalists—witnessing, filming, and posting ICE thugs."

Buttcracks and Beer Bellies: Is Trump Failing on Immigration because ICE Creates Negative Spectacle? - emptywheel
I suspect that a big reason Stephen Miller has turned immigration into a losing issue for Donald Trump is because Miller's goons create an endless supply of negative spectacle that goes viral and seed...

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.
Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Interesting. I was told that both boats that had been struck down were verified to be carrying narcotics and had connections to criminal groups, but we couldn’t see any of the totally real evidence. Surely fishing would be perfectly safe under such conditions?

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Here’s an Ozzy story for you. When I was like 20, I went to a strip club with my bros and one of the women there picked “Black Sabbath” by Black Sabbath for her dance. Never have I seen a mood killed so quickly

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony?

1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge

2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients

3. Because it generates delay and confusion.
