It’s an online narcissism day. Tried to pick albums based on formativeness rather than my current top 9, or Better Oblivion Community Center, Empire Builder by Laura Gibson, and something by Mountain Goats/Sufjan Stevens would be on there. Slightly angry with myself for not getting Liebknecht.

The title of this film and the current appearance of Kelsey Grammer led me to briefly believe I was viewing an ad for Gennady Zyuganov

Hmm, one of these YouTube recommendations seems a bit unlike the others. Sure that algorithm is doing great things.

The discovery of Laura Gibson’s “Empire Builder” album has rendered my favorite-songs-I-discovered-this-year playlist a bit of a monolith. But it *is* like the perfect album.

My “2026 discoveries” playlist, featuring four songs from Laura Gibson’s Empire Builder Album in the top 8 (A fifth, “Louis,” was on last years playlist instead)

Even if they had the name right, that is a heck of a definition of presumptive nominee

You weren't kidding about how few options though- only wound up changing in France (where tbh I think I'd be a REV-NPA swing voter with all 100 parties on the ballot)

I made myself answer all from the choices listed no matter how grim the choice. Countries that I feel the need to note have 0 non-bad parties on the list: Lithuania, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Slovakia, Czechia,

Very excited to get my beautiful @marxistunitygroup.bsky.social enamel pin in the mail. Although it may clash a bit with the shirt I was wearing.

I think Grok probably articulates the tenets of "effective altruism" better than most articles about it tbh

Sometimes you get confirmation that you are, in fact, a world-historic genius.

This story contains possibly the most dreamlike paragraph ever to be a part of a major news article.

“literally no one asked us to launch waifus, but we did so anyway,” wrote Ebby Amir, whose X account has a label saying he’s an xAI employee. (Waifu is a type of fictional female character in Japanese animation.) Amir did not respond to a request for further comment.

I know it should cease to be shocking, but even by "Western media doing PR for Israel" standards, this from CNN is something else.

A new NYC mayoral survey came out from a RW firm, and they cannot even get a plurality of young people to respond the "right" way to a push poll on Israel anymore. Increasingly hopeful liberal Zionism is too discredited by the last few years for a Corbyn-style demonization to work here.

Poll showing a plurality of voters under 45 respond to "According to NPR, Zohran Mamdani backs the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel
and also refuses to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which some interpret as a call to violence against Jews. Does knowing
this make you more or less likely to vote for Mamdani?" by saying it makes them MORE likely to vote for him.

Their despotic evil state media vs. our free uninhibited exchange of ideas (actually, the former at least has the decency to call it an editorial)

A PressTV (Iranian state TV) editorial "Iran's firm response to Israeli aggression shows wisdom, character of its leadership"

"Exiled Iranians eagerly watch a brutal regime's grip on power slip loose: An Iranian opposition group based in Iraq is ready to help build a new Iran, and their message to the U.S. is clear: 'Don't compromise with the regime, because they are killing people'"

as the banner story on CBS News (not categorized as opinion)

It’s hard to find a men’s tennis player without Hitlerite politics unfortunately, but Sinner has the added bonus of having just weaseled his way out of a doping ban and also having the most paint-drying game ever conceived.
