Do you remember when the “concerned for the children” crowd went after online content about witchcraft because it should be 18+ since it could corrupt the kids? Do you remember when the concerned for the children crowd went after Goth stuff for the same reason? I do They never stop at “porn”

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

when i think of Colbert, i think of an interview he gave to GQ when he first took over The Late Show, and had this to say about losing his father and brothers in a plane crash. www.gq.com/story/stephe...

“It was a very healthy reciprocal acceptance of suffering,” he said. “Which does not mean being defeated by suffering. Acceptance is not defeat. Acceptance is just awareness.” He smiled in anticipation of the callback: “ ‘You gotta learn to love the bomb,’ ” he said. “Boy, did I have a bomb when I was 10. That was quite an explosion. And I learned to love it. So that's why. Maybe, I don't know. That might be why you don't see me as someone angry and working out my demons onstage. It's that I love the thing that I most wish had not happened.”

I love the thing that I most wish had not happened.

I asked him if he could help me understand that better, and he described a letter from Tolkien in response to a priest who had questioned whether Tolkien's mythos was sufficiently doctrinaire, since it treated death not as a punishment for the sin of the fall but as a gift. “Tolkien says, in a letter back: ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” Colbert knocked his knuckles on the table. “ ‘What punishments of God are not gifts?’ ” he said again. His eyes were filled with tears. “So it would be ungrateful not to take everything with gratitude. It doesn't mean you want it. I can hold both of those ideas in my head.”

fwiw, i don’t personally think that either doomerism OR toxic positivity is what this moment calls for; i think what we actually need to be collectively looking towards is a secret third thing (hopepunk) it’s cool and important to give a shit, and to look for ways to help each other.

Everyone's dunking on this guy, as they should, but it's good to block "I'm just a bad wittle boy" clowns like this. They want engagement, they want to make your life a little bit worse by pissing you off with their shitty yet absolutely unoriginal opinions so you read their stuff and share it.

The NYT Magazine asked me and
@caseynewton.bsky. social to open their Al issue by talking about how we use Al, why it's not going away, and how you can't bea serious critic if you're in denial about how useful it is. Bluesky's gonna love this one!

Use food to show where you grew up.

Arizona cheese crisp, a massive flour tortilla topped with melted cheese and usually green chiles

Sonoran hot dog--bacon wrapped, bean topped, pico, mayo, cotija--all the best toppings

Fry bread "taco" with chili beans, lettuce, cheddar, tomatoes and green chile

time for my new favorite tumblr post

A tumblr text post by user nitewrighter, set up as a dialogue.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

"It was the most amount of less-lethals I’ve seen used in a single day protest," said @calmatters.org reporter @sergioolmos.bsky.social, struck in the chest with what he believes to be a 40mm sponge grenade. He's covered hundreds of days of protests in his career.
