Guys, Where Do You Get Your Book Recs? And Do You Have Recs? (Of Books Or Of Bootuber/ig/substack/podcast/...)

Daily fucking reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent, completely and fully. He has been convicted of no crime. He has had no fair trial. He is a SUSPECT. Luigi Mangione is entirely innocent and everyone needs to stop parroting this insidious propaganda that he “committed” the crime he is only SUSPECTED of. He is not a murderer. He is not a criminal. He is an innocent man.

So many people are finding screenshots of celebrities allegedly doing a 'nazi salute,' to try and discredit what people have been saying about Elon Musk.

My favourite most recently has been a picture of Sabrina Carpenter which can easily be discredited.

This is the picture:

And this is the video:

Yep, it's just a young woman waving to her fans.

And this is why when you ask any of them who post the screenshots for a video, they refuse to add it in. Because they know the video is of somebody doing something very normal.

We are so absolutely screwed.

I've been trying to distract myself from the horrors of modern life by knitting unnecessarily complex cable swatches. They are partly inspired by printer's ornaments and other typographic elements.

“Mythos, in Greek,” said Borges, “is not a story that is false. It is a story that is more than true. Myth is a tear in the fabric of reality, and immense energies pour through these holy fissures. Our stories, our poems, are rips in this fabric as well, however slight.”

Jorge Luis Borges, quoted by Jay Parini in Borges and Me

Updates about the TikTok ban/relight … a lot of people thought that TikTokers were being dramatic. We were forced to say “unalive” “pew-pew” and “grape”… now it’s a community violation to say that Meta sucks.

We need Tim Walz energy.

Trump is a buffoon. He governs like a rapist. He thinks it's his government, his military.

It's OUR government. OUR military.

There needs to be pre-emotive and immediate pushback on all Trump actions.

Moet Trump executive orders are illegal. He starts from an illegal position, hoping to get a fraction of his ask.

Get the legal action going immediately.

Can Biden or Harris speak to this?

Seems calling Nazis a Nazi is unpopular with the journalists and headline writers.

Make them quote you. Call them Nazis.

Fascism is here. Start punching Nazis.
