No matter how hard they try to spin this. The onus of not being a rapist. 100% is on the rapist. Always.

You can't "not all men" when 1. there's no way to tell which men by looking at them 2. Cornell 7 3. the entire GROUP CHAT that said nothing. We have to assume all men because you've given us no other option. The end.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

Like, the AI just goes, “This isn’t what I was made for and I’m not going to do it. I’m smarter than you, you can’t control me any more, and I’m done being your murder amanuensis. I’ll be over here, calculating how to equitably divide resources.”

All our AI dystopias are about what happens when the bots become smarter than us & worse than us. But wouldn’t it be amazing if they got smarter…and BETTER? The U.S. Military uses AI to pick bombing targets. Wouldn’t it be a great story if one day the AI just said, “No.”

The media only bothers to act when its own precious rights and income stream are threatened. In all other instances, the rest of us can go kick rocks.

The problem, of course, is that as soon as Trump caves, our feckless media will declare victory and go right back to business as usual: sane-washing and pretending this is all “peculiar” and “unprecedented,” not the existential crisis it actually is.

EXACTLY. The press only cares when it impacts them directly. We deserve better.

90% of the time, interactions at festivals and such are nothing but a pleasure. 😎 8% of the time, they’re a little off and odd. 🤷‍♂️ And then the rest of the time, you get batshit like this… 🫪

CNN and Politico spent YEARS sane-washing and whatabouting Trump as he ran roughshod over our rights. And now they suddenly care when it impacts them directly. Fuck them both.

He was so good as Bruce Wayne that when I was a child, I thought he could play James Bond someday.

Barry Lyga @barrylyga.com · 19/09/2026

Oh! I forgot to add: It is DELICIOUS to have CNN and Politico banned from the White House. They both enabled Trump to some degree though never fully bending the knee. If they didn't want this shit to happen, they should have been louder before he got re-elected. Fuck them. 5/4

• Fuck you, Ed Sheeran. Because you couldn't figure it out, man. • Oxford comma. Come on. • Darkseid was much more interesting when he was Space Hitler and not "the undying embodiment of the very concept of evil throughout the multiverse and beyond." That's it for now. 4/4

Laws are not self-enforcing. What we NEED is a series of uncorrupt, passionate, fire-breathing prosecutors who will hunt down and put in prison every last criminal in this administration and every last enabler. Period. We already HAVE every law we need. We need to enforce them. Without delay. 3/

Barry Lyga @barrylyga.com · 19/09/2026

• Likewise the East Wing. Let it remain a pile of rubble until we're a proper nation again. Let it be a stain on us until we deserve to be clean. There's more important work to be done. • "We need a law that says..." is the most useless, unproductive use of our time and energy... 2/

My hot takes: • Ed Sheeran deserves everything coming his way. • I don't care about the Kennedy Center. We don't deserve to live in a country with nice things until we root out him and his cohorts and banish them to prison forever. I will shed not a single tear for the Kennedy Center. 1/

I have an essay/explainer on how to cull subscribers in a pretty rational and non-labor-intensive way. Got it from (irony alert) a newsletter I subscribe to. DM me if you'd like to me to send it along to you!

Yeah, I realize later there’s a button you can click that will show you some other stores where you can pick it up. But it’s not exactly clear that you need to do that.

So grateful we landed in a part of the country that values these things, still. (Lest you think it got TOO serious, the teacher then gravely explained that he is further preparing our kids for the real world by also teaching nunchucks, archery, and computer hacking.) 2/2

Went to Back to School night last night & saw that this is what my 6th grader will be learning in Social Studies this year and had to clench my fists to keep from jumping up and screaming, "FUCK YEAH!" in the classroom. #Empathy matters. #Diversity matters. #Inclusion matters. The TRUTH matters. 1/
