I really just think that there has never been a more important time to continue to make art and tell stories. Go write a story. Go make music. Go put on a play. Creativity is implicitly human and anti-fascist. Come on, everyone. Let's go fucking make stuff.

USPS recommends all absentee ballots that are being mailed be sent by Tues Oct 27 www.wsbtv.com/news/local/u... (If you are mailing USPS I suggest placing it in an official USPS blue box or handing it to a desk clerk inside the post office) see images for USPS speed-up just started. #ncpol

If Lula can make that happen, we can get to 60 Democratic Senators. Last 10 days--full court press to get out the vote

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

This is fun - to find out your wizard name, carefully write out your real current name then right after that add “the Wizard.” We did this at a party last week and had some big laughs.

Technically, a dictionary is a book of spells.

Oh it's the brewing industry.

If you are one of 107,337 voters with an unvoted NC absentee ballot, if you are using USPS, I STRONGLY suggest mailing by MONDAY OCT 26. Alternatively, return it in person during business hours to your county board of elections thru Nov 3, or return it at any early voting site thru Oct 31. #ncpol

I feel very strongly that this kind of shit shouldn't happen in prisons to anybody. Except maybe this fucking guy.

This is what happens when young men do not have the moral and spiritual courage to just admit that they're dumb.

NOTE: NC absentee ballot request deadline (5 pm tomorrow Oct 20) is 7 days earlier relative to election than past elections. IMHO a good change as old request deadline what with USPS delays was unrealistic for voters. Should apply online at this point. DETAILS: www.ncsbe.gov/voting/vote-... #ncpol

“It’s a lot more heartfelt than reading it on a piece of paper,” said director Flora Bare “If anybody tried to read Tom Stoppard and felt intimidated by it on the page, come see it.”

Gymnopédie No. 1 by Erik Satie Younger me would be so baffled by the fact that I could even answer this question.

Early voting for North Carolina’s 2026 general election cycle begins on Thursday, starting several weeks of the final stretch of many local and statewide elections. Here's everything you need to know about early voting in local elections:

It took me a minute to figure out this wasn't a satirical pitch, but it's a good read

We are soon going to have to come to grips with the fact that this shit is asbestos for the mind

This is what I want from every Democratic candidate everywhere.

Do you know what the theme of this week is? It’s “if X could do Y, X would already be doing it.” If Trump could ”hurt” Biden / end the war, he’d already be doing it. If Republicans could “fix” Obamacare, they’d already be doing it. If AI could bring about prosperity, it would already be doing it.

I’m going to start calling it Super Intelligence right after I start calling twitter “X.”

These things are supposed to happen in threes, right? Let's gooooo 🤞

genAI discourse drives me nuts “putting aside that the tech needs to steal from every artist with an explicit goal of competing with and devaluing them, I think using it speeds up my programming!” back up, chucklefuck, what was that first bit again?

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Am I the only one who hates the boring ass shades of grey that are on every single new vehicle?

I don't understand why people seem so damn eager to live in a surveillance state.
