Creative hyphenate in Brooklyn who reads too many books and sifts through discount store items to find new sounds to record. Decent backgammon player. Friend to weirdos. Haters and MAGA types will be blocked.

"A sinner's torment in the afterworld consists precisely in that his tenacious mind cannot find peace until it manages to unravel the complex consequences of his reckless terrestrial actions." -- Nabokov, THE EYE This presents little comfort to this atheist, but it's still a juicy poetic line!

The asswipe who punched the woman at last night's rally was identified as Russell Dickert. The 12 year old boy that lives deep inside my brain is struggling so. Fuck you Russ. Fuck your buddy who held her down and fuck every man who stood there watching a woman get punched.

Walmart is the largest private employer in America, yet 16,055 of its employees were on Medicaid in just 6 states, and 15,515 were receiving food stamps in 9 states. Mostly red states. And those aren’t even national totals. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

By targeting the comments of presumably left-wing professors, the right is using free speech as part of their long-term strategy of delegitimizing higher education itself, writes Victor Ray.

1. Strip more people of citizenship. 2. Make it impossible for them to fly if something goes wrong (see October 19th overhaul of 14 CFR 234.4) 3. Strip detainees of due process and keep them hidden and unavailable to counsel so they effectively have none This is all deeply angering and unsettling.

One fun nod in THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (the Swedish version, which I think is vastly support to the Fincher) is that Peter Haber, who played Martin Beck in the films, appears as, well, an altogether DIFFERENT murderous and menacing Martin. A pretty funny Swedish inside joke.

Far too many people simply hate children for existing
Neighbor blasts an ultrasonic device audible and painful only to children whenever they pass on the public sidewalk.

Was riding bikes with my daughter and a friend to school this morning. We passed a house and they both started yelling, "Ow! It hurts my ears." Really strange, right? Then I hear a voice play through a speaker who says, "If it hurts your ears, ride your bikes somewhere else!"

Now I'm angry. Literally doing nothing but riding bikes to school, probably one of the most wholesome activities a person could imagine, and...I can't even get my brain around it. 

It's apparently not loud, but it is tuned to a frequency higher than I can hear. If it's low enough for my children to hear it, it's going to be almost useless as an animal deterrent. It is specifically designed to cause pain to humans and serves no other purpose.

How is this legal?

This penultimate paragraph in @gregsargent.bsky.social’s new piece is a devastating summary of the GOP’s racial politics.
Trump and MAGA have pulled off some astounding political sleight of hand. They have openly advertised that their ideological goal is ethnic cleansing, recruiting ICE agents, and saturating official government communications with explicit white-nationalist appeals. Yet they also succeeded for a time in selling this agenda to Latinos as purely about law enforcement and public safety. This straddle was critical to sustaining notions of MAGA as a multiracial movement.
