David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Some people seem to have genuine difficulty accepting how lethal the conditions in Gaza are this winter, particularly for newborns. Read Abubaker Abed and try to put yourself there:

very telling that Biden was willing to put his integrity on the line to pardon his son but doesn't remotely budge in the face of these figures showing how he's brutalizing other ppls' kids. Disgusting lack of empathy

I'm tired of hearing how hot Luigi Mangione is. Tired and jealous. If I'd done it, people would say "I loathe the health insurance industry, but somehow, I just can't idolize the assassin", "I do not consent to this man blowing out my back", "Murder is wrong", and so on.

The U.S. says it conducted airstrikes against over 75 ISIS targets in central Syria, using B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s, as part of an ongoing mission to “disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS” and prevent the group from “reconstituting” or “conducting external operations.”

I’m still on it, nothing has replaced its “most people in politics use it and you can DM them” function, but the idea that people should just stay on there if they’re annoyed by it is crazy. No, it’s a website, they should do things they enjoy instead of using it

this is a good point & shows that Elon completely undermines his desire for democratized "citizen journalism" by suppressing external links to Substack. What Elon wants is an all-inclusive environment on X where ppl never have to leave his platform. That's not principle; that's revenue maximization

don't wish Kamala any major ill will in saying this, but if she decides to go through with this I think it'll actually be a fascinating display of how party & media subordinates choose to reorient themselves. Do they prop up proven losers or bolster status quo antagonists? Odds are on the former

NEW: The Supreme Court overturns the Colorado decision removing Trump from the ballot, holding that only Congress can enforce the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause against federal candidates. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...
A group of Colorado voters contends that Section 3 of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits former President Donald J. Trump, who seeks the Presidential
nomination of the Republican Party in this year’s election,
from becoming President again. The Colorado Supreme
Court agreed with that contention. It ordered the Colorado
secretary of state to exclude the former President from the
Republican primary ballot in the State and to disregard any
write-in votes that Colorado voters might cast for him.
Former President Trump challenges that decision on several grounds. Because the Constitution makes Congress,
rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3
against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.

he voiced support for the mob activities but he was also arguably videotaping in a journalistic capacity & was only charged with misdemeanors, but the FBI still ceremoniously cuffed him and hauled him off to federal court. Just smells kind of rotten

yes this is flagrantly just repackaged censorship, but that's not really what's generating the nutty amount of coverage here. Like I'm sorry but you just can't convince me to care so disproportionately about Harvard's president over everyone else losing their jobs for not bending the knee to Israel

Anyone doing the Veganuary 2024 challenge? The challenge is to go vegan for the month of January. I did the very first Veganuary in 2014 (still as a meat eater) because I was curious if I could do it - and I was able to. I enjoyed learning new recipes + foods. #veganfood 🍽️🍜 veganuary.com/en-us/
