Get off social media and do literally anything else.

Still socialist. Still buddhist. #YNWA he/him

I post mostly about #LFC, music, and U.S. politics, and that last one only because our politicians are shit.

Why does the Sam's Club "technical difficulties" graphic go so hard? Fuck's sake, I just wanted to check the price on something, not contemplate the end of the world.

I see someone who hasn’t been president for 25 years at the top of the trending/hot topics but *not* Donald Trump, the person currently president and responsible for destroying the USA.

Good process, everyone. Great work.

Correct. 😄 Shows usually start around 7-ish, which is still light out in summer, but Red Rocks is on the east side of a ridge, so the sun sets earlier on the venue than the rest of the plains. This photo was taken May 3rd at about 7:20pm.

For sure! I have the small tree lights strung up all around the ceiling of my room because it's on the north/west side of the house and it gets cold & dark during the winter so I fully get it. Not as dark & for as long as up where you are, but still. 😂 Plus, they just bring me joy year-round. ☺️
Alt text by me & Google Gemini LLM: "A close-up of a light purple wall decorated with warm white string lights draped near the ceiling. Two posters are visible: on the left, a vibrantly colored, framed Fishbone poster, and on the right, a large framed tour poster for The Replacements' 2013 Riot Fest reunion, featuring a vintage radio tuner graphic. A window with horizontal blinds is partially visible below the posters, along with a small Caledonian Braves FC magnet on the window frame and the top of a 'HUM' framed graphic below the Replacements poster."

Ok, I was looking at a county ballot, but it's still very close to 60-40 statewide. Massive.

I don't know that it's my absolute favorite, but it's *a* favorite. And the album famously wasn't recorded the year I was born but released the year after it was recorded.
Movie poster for 'Harold and Maude' featuring illustrated portraits of the two main characters at the top against a white background. The text 'This is Harold' appears above the left portrait, and 'This is Maude' above the right. Harold is shown as a young man with dark hair, and Maude as an elderly woman with short curly hair and a smile. Below their portraits is the film title 'Harold and Maude' with additional text naming the two principal actors, Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort. The bottom section includes cast and crew credits. "The Beatles' 'Let It Be' album cover featuring four square portrait photographs of the band members arranged in a 2x2 grid against a black background. The title 'LET IT BE' appears in white text at the top. The portraits show each Beatle in close-up: John Lennon in the upper left with brown hair singing into a microphone, Paul McCartney in the upper right with dark hair and beard at a microphone, Ringo Starr in the lower left with a mustache, and George Harrison in the lower right with longer dark hair."

Got in a conversation the other day where someone proposed "reforming" the police and I asked what that would look like to them. I asked in good faith but they blocked me. So I'm posting this because so much of @prisonculture.bsky.social's work has informed my personal thoughts on policing. 🧵
Here is a simple guide for evaluating any suggested “reforms” of U.S. policing in this historical moment. 1. Are the proposed reforms allocating more money to the police? If yes, then you should oppose them. 2. Are the proposed reforms advocating for MORE police and policing (under euphemistic terms like “community policing” run out of regular police districts)? If yes, then you should oppose them. 3. Are the proposed reforms primarily technology-focused? If yes, then you should oppose them because: a. It means more money to the police. b. Said technology is more likely to be turned against the public than it is to be used against cops. c. Police violence won’t end through technological advances (no matter what someone is selling you). 4. Are the proposed “reforms” focused on individual dialogues with individual cops? And will these “dialogues” be funded with tax dollars? I am never against dialogue. It’s good to talk with people. These conversations, however, should not be funded by tax payer money. That money is better spent elsewhere. Additionally, violence is endemic to U.S. policing itself. There are some nice individual people who work in police departments. I’ve met some of them. But individual dialogue projects reinforce the “bad apples” theory of oppressive policing. This is not a problem of individually terrible officers rather it is a problem of a corrupt and oppressive policing system built on controlling and managing the marginalized while protecting property. What “reforms” should you support (in the interim) then? 1. Proposals and legislation to offer reparations to victims of police violence and their families. 2. Proposals and legislation to require police officers to carry personal liability insurance to cover costs of brutality or death claims. 3. Proposals and legislation to decrease and redirect policing and prison funds to other social goods. 4. Proposals and legislation for (elected) independent civilian police accountability boards with power to investigate, discipline, fire police officers and administrators. [WITH SOME SERIOUS CAVEATS] 5. Proposals and legislation to disarm the police. 6. Proposals to simplify the process of dissolving existing police departments. 7. Proposals and legislation for data transparency (stops, arrests, budgeting, weapons, etc.) Ultimately, the only way that we will address oppressive policing is to abolish the police. Therefore all of the “reforms” that focus on strengthening the police or “morphing” policing into something more invisible but still as deadly should be opposed.

This is a political cartoon by Jeff Stahler that was published in 2019. The cartoon depicts a woman giving candy to three trick-or-treaters on Halloween. The children are dressed as a witch, a vampire, and a ghost. The woman's dialogue, "How cute!... A witch, a vampire & a Trump supporter!", identifies the ghost costume as a "Trump supporter". The cartoon was published in the Elko Daily Free Press, which later apologized for the cartoon after readers complained that it made Trump supporters look racist.

Second food post: Special for @ynwa-4life.bsky.social - Sunshine Chicken recipe & photos of the finished product. 😁 Let me know how you like it if you try it! Instead of prepared mustard, we use 1/4 cup of dry Colman's Mustard powder. Gives it some nice heat! I also used pre-cut chicken tenders.
