James Robison What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it. “So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

Wouldn’t it be fucking amazing if the next democrat in the Oval Office tears down that fucking ballroom, and rebuilds the east wing of the White House.

a man sitting behind me on my American flight punched & kicked my chair, threatened me (“you’re gonna have a real problem with me”) & called me a slur @AmericanAir would love to know if there’s anything aside from filling out an online complaint that can be done here (flight attendants said “fill out online form” and the help desk at the destination airport just shrugged and told me to “go online”)

Should have gone to bed but decided to check out that manosphere doc by Louis Theroux. 30 minutes in and my mind is wandering to the possibilities of GTA6 taking on the manosphere as it they all seem to be based in Miami. #insidethemanosphere

I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.

You know. All these Epstein files being released is all fun and games, makes for a great item or stream, but are there any actual consequences to anything revealed. No. Nothing will happen. It’s just another distraction if there are no convictions. #EpsteinFiles

Art is not political

Cosmopolitan asks Sydney Sweeney if she ever intends to publicly state her political beliefs: “No. I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics. That’s not an area I’ve ever even imagined getting into. It’s not why I became who I am. I became an actor because I like to tell stories, but I don’t believe in hate in any form. I believe we should all love each other and have respect and understanding for one another.” (cosmopolitan.com/entertainme…)

Not enough people know about the myth of meritocracy

hasanabi

@hasanthehunJan 21

as the theocratic monarchs justified their rulership on the lie of being ordained by god to rule over man - the capitalist oligarch uses the lie of meritocracy under the current design to rule over you. no different than a king.
