For those keeping track, weβre at the βsecretary of war announces genocideβ stage of the US descent into fascism.
Really worth watching this.
If a social media platform dominated by elder millennials/Gen X isn't for this purpose, then I have no clue what it's for. One cannot lament the collapse of arts verticals and ignore the arts. Like, I can't stress this enough. Share what matters to you even if the world is burningβespecially then.
My big week of freelancing concludes with this super fun interview with Sukpatch, whose new collection is a lot of fun. Thanks to The Current for asking! www.thecurrent.org/feature/2026...
They fund it in Gaza. They're doing it to Venezuelan fisherman. They're doing it in Iran. They're doing it in the streets and in concentration camps to immigrants in the US. They've done it to US citizen protestors on the streets in Minnesota.

the biggest problem with polyamory is that it increases the odds you could be in a relationship with someone who writes personal essays
Nothing about this story seemed likely, until it did.
The later characters suck!
The reason she SHOULD have been fired.
βPolitically correct warsβ might rival in absurdity, as a locution, all-time greats such as βdancing about architectureβ and βgreen pastel redness.β
If she's never punished for any of this, who cares what "history" thinks?
History will forget her like it's forgotten so many shitty racist, murderous U.S. officials in the past.
"History" is the secular version of Hell, and just as imaginary.
Literally applauded in my living room.
Who gets the love jet?
Good luck to Markwayne Jimbob Bubbaman, ready on day one to show the courage that leading the Department of Homeland Security requires.
The actuality of the theme park project, at least as set forth in the complaint, has the makings of a lesser Coen Brothers film, with people thinking a guy has way more money than he does and defrauding him out of as much as possible with, among other things, text messages from God
naming a character markwayne and your editor hits you with βthatβs an anti white caricatureβ
Ice-T was right.
LOL my editor correctly removed two additional mentions of the toast.
If you are looking for a reason to stuff yourself with the best garlic toast youβve ever had, this might be the best one.
Nothing but love for Mancini's. It's an absolute St. Paul gem for many reasons, including this.

"Defector ought to run it too."
I mean, I wouldn't say no. @defector.com
βWeβre going to regain the trust of the communities we serveβ
βWeβre going to keep letting the fascist death squads roam the toy aisleβ
This is definitely worth the read and I cannot wait to go to Manciniβs.
Except it wasn't! Inept metadata-handling motherfuckers, so much to answer for.
Let's start with: why is Toto's name all-caps?
Literally wtf, AI canβt even correctly identify how many rβs there are in the word strawberry and weβre using this technology to decide who to kill and where?!
