NEW ENGLAND WEEK launches today with @raxkingisdead.bsky.social on (among many other things) the real-life origins of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" which is is GREAT and so is @milesklee.bsky.social on the fate of a spooky 8 ball flaminghydra.com/issue-676/

It turns out punishing coup plotters actually is an effective deterrent!

if you’ve never read a rather haunted life about shirley jackson, I highly recommend it

So generous of NYT to make their "election coverage" free for the last week

Is this like a reboot of 'Footloose'?

Please stop reposting that same garbage post, you're even broadcasting his dumb remarks in a larger font size than your own! I blocked him on day one yet have seen this nonsense screenshotted 100x today No dunk in the world is worth amplifying the fash

coming shortly!! and BRILLIANT

So eager to learn and connect!! thank you!! and congratulations, with all my heart

bsky.app/profile/sapp... also for more specific tactics

Ó a gente ensinando o mundo mais uma vez

Take the Brazilians' advice, please don't quote or amplify horrible people, amplify voices on the side of sanity and progress

I've been avoiding all Meta apps, but am ready to join in a sane strategy based on these ideas Any advice?

ok! a rare note of accuracy sounds awesome, also

ack!!

DANCING INTO THE WEEK WITH THE RHYTHM OF BRASILIA

read this THREAD it is the most exciting thing

These scary stories are meant to persuade you that there's An Emergency that can only be set right with infinity amounts of public money, your money

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

I gotta say, one of the best 3 bucks I spent recently was for Flaming Hydra. Not everything is in my wheelzone, but it's never boring, and every once in a while there's a real banger (with some oblique You Can See Everything and Digger and full Whalefall spoilers, fwiw) flaminghydra.com/issue-675/

So happy for Brazil and the world!! Now for the U.S. !!!!!!!!!! 🤞

legit scaring me to think how much power Marissa Mayer has had over the rest of us, how many decisions she made for the rest of us

Musk and Zuckerberg are the ones who really need to face the music, be made an example of, see their companies nationalized Who can even count how many deaths these egomaniacal dullards have caused

wowsers!

Using your own outlandish amount of money and influence to choke other people's right to vote is so infinitely disgusting Not possible to express how much contempt I have for anyone who'd try to interfere with someone else's right to have even a small say in how their own lives are determined

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Sure, he can say this sort of thing as a candidate in a safe, blue, hippy state like Kansas...

This shit is so insane to me, same with Italy. It's like imagine if it was 1956 and West Germany was like ’we just finished talking about how bad the Nazis were, now meet Adolf Hitler Jr, he's just a little guy who loves his dad and wants to recuperate his image, we're going to elect him chancellor'

au contraire it's the nonsensical columns and faux 'opulence' in a chain restaurant called The Cheesecake Factory, that is the obvious 'joke' come on y'all

omg same

the indignant rush to take up arms to defend the honor of the Cheesecake Factory is vintage Obama era comedy

right answer

The White House has lost all claim to respect obviously but wow Bill Clinton is one of the last people on planet Earth who should be demanding respect for the White House I just.. no

"movies that insist on being watched... as a violation" flaminghydra.com/issue-675/

really seems like an altogether new type of guy

This is all kinds of phenomenal

'Specular cinema,' a dazzling new critical framework that instantly brings DIGGER and much else into focus (ton of spoilers here and also permawhoa)

The public will to accountability is snowballing. If Democrats harness that energy, nothing can stop us. There's a real possibility that Republicans who want a political future in a post-Trump world will vote to impeach and remove. We really can get to 67.

It's the work of a moment to connect with someone in real time almost anywhere on earth

watching SLOW HORSES before bedtime is lethal for my insomnia and yet I also love watching SLOW HORSES before bedtime

enjoyed this short story about how every single member of staff at Mar-a-Lago must be a spy: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

please explain this to Bernie Sanders
