Many folks deeply misunderstand how political power works, who has it, and how to build it. And all of that is happening while more folks are using the language of organizing without grasping its most basic tenets. 4752138

Steven Genise @stevengenise.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Okay, I said this as a joke, but in all seriousness that guy is simply reinventing “playing with dolls” from first principles, but because so many men are discouraged from that kind of free-form make-believe play as kids, they never develop the language to understand what it means to MISS that play 000

Steven Genise @stevengenise.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Here’s the fun trick to calculating your biological age without any special tech: subtract the year of your birth from the current year, and that’s your biological age! So for instance, it’s currently 2026, and I was born in 1993. That makes my biological age 33. Neat! 0537

Steven Genise @stevengenise.bsky.social · 08/10/2026“Televised executions by firing squad” is one of those fascist tropes that is so ubiquitous and on the nose that I think even the most “apolitical” people around will have their consciences shocked by it. There’s a good chance this sparks such protest that it does happen (the livestream, that is) 000

Steven Genise @stevengenise.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My hottest take is that “don’t bring iced coffee to an interview” is an opinion of the (usually older) hirers. Iced coffee is more common for millennials and Gen Z, and it’s a generational signifier. “Don’t being iced coffee to an interview” is the same as “don’t signal that you’re Gen Z” 010
