dad, musician, geographert (he/his/him) Humanity's shortcomings, hot takes, music, occasional moments of levity, stuff my kid says... I've mostly abandoned my other social media accounts, so thematically this feed is just a big pot of soup.
If you read @doctorow.pluralistic.net 's Enshittification, it's time to read The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI. If you haven't read it, it's time to read both. Two of the most important books I've read in recent memory. Dive in. Thank you Brooklyn Public Library.
By some narrow definition in NYS law, the jury failed to tick the box (1) that says rape but agreed on (2) sexual abuse. The sexual abuse she claims is indeed rape.
The internet responding with the solemn reverence Lindsey Graham's years of public service have earned...
NO WE DON'T, YOU FUCKING TOOL! Despite our numerous shortcomings, the vast majority of Americans are actually against rape. You belong in a prison, far away from your phone and your sycophants, for raping Carroll and for raping many others, including children.
This is one cute dog picture or author's reflection on their process away from being peak bluesky. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @katmabu.bsky.social I'll toss in @jcsalterego.bsky.social just for shiggs...
They can have both days. At the time independence was achieved, America was building a vast economy driven by slavery. July 5th is a far better day for celebration. On that day, in 1852, Frederick Douglass gave one of the most eloquent and powerful speeches ever penned in the English language.
Decades ago, I was the mediocre-est of high school social studies students and yet I am somehow regularly appalled at how many sitting congressfolks demonstrate that they know less than I do about the basics of how our government functions.
The GOP is just really excited about Pride this year. It's refreshing to see but wait until they learn about their own policies...
This is an excellent opportunity for New Yorkers to say one more farewell "fuck you!" to Mayor Fuckface Adams. May his post-mayoral Giuliani phase be endlessly embarrassing... #nyc #nyctrashbins #nycgarbagecans #waronrats #mayoradams
Say what you will about the subway, it is a poignant nonstop zeitgeist museum #nyc #Brooklyn #mta #nycsubway
We just finished watching North of North and loved it. The mostly Inuit cast was outstanding and the storytelling was solid. I'm pleased that the show has been renewed for a second season. #northofnorth
Is it in the employee handbook that there will never be time for using actual restrooms or is this a skillset Amazon workers are expected to learn on the job?
Coming home from a fancy event, my spouse: "Don't be my subway story, Jim..."
Five seconds after I said "Please don't walk through the puddle." I now have a title and cover image for my book about parenting...
The most important book I've read this year. Highly recommended for anyone who uses the internet, participates in the global economy, and muddles through late-stage capitalism. Thank you Brooklyn Public Library. #CoryDoctorow #enshittification

No... Sleep... 'Till Budapest! #PeterMagyar #MCA #PeterMagyarLooksLikeAdamYauch #beastieboys #HungarianElection
I have not been following this Hungarian election closely but there seems to be a good chance that we won't have to hear about Viktor Orban for much longer. He is poised to be unseated by Peter Magyar, possibly the most MCA-looking politician in any election this year...
The People's Snow continues to fall here in Mamdani's Stalinist Caliphate... @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov #Brooklyn2026 #oneoftheblizzards2026
This is Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA). Today, he was the only member of either chamber to vote pro-pedophilia. #EpsteinFiles #clayhiggins
