Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

for REAL

I want the world to listen. What russia is doing now by attacking Ukraine’s energy and heating infrastructure in the middle of winter is an attempt to break us, to make us give up and to erase us as a nation. But no. We stand. It’s cold. It’s dark. We are not heroes. We stand.

Finished. First book of the year was Borges' Labyrinths. Because I'm lazy my review is here: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/a55a...

Kyiv is under attack. First, the power went out. Now, the heating too. -12 °C outside. I want the world to know what russia does.

It's become painfully obvious to me that the real "American dream" of the right is to live without consequence.

Me, not realising not everyone knows the same twitch streamer memes from the small pool of streamers I watch while also trying to insult Trump: Looks like we got an Epstein Andy over here

Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED. No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

the gruesome twosome the gleesome threesome the boresome foursome the lithesome fivesome the unsung onesome

Finally got around to reaching the newest area in White Knuckle. Man these Devs are really cooking

Was exposed to this concept during my existential philosophy course. My teacher attributed a quote to Aimé Césaire which I cannot find explicitly though it does synthesize Césaire's thoughts. "Fascism is colonialism come home."

Reported for misleading information. They claim to be protecting America in their bio, yet they are kidnapping, beating, and even murdering American citizens.

Her last words were “I’m not mad at you” and his first words after shooting were “fucking bitch.” Abolish ICE.

again and again and again and again. the relevancy won't end

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

FUCK ICE

Off to a great start so far

Titles don't always have to go at the beginning of things. Sometimes they can go at the end, serving as a crown that tops it rather than a banner that precedes it.

If your resolution this year is to support more independent bookstores, hi!👋🏽 We’re Bookshop.org, an ethical alternative to Amazon for buying books online where every purchase supports indie bookstores all over the U.S. 😌📚 (And our CEO has never gone to space, just saying)

Finally finished season one of The Paper, and I gotta say it was really good.

This year's massive reading list. Let's see how I do. List in alt text

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of how bad I want to eat this

looks like someone forgot old acquaintances

Happy NYE! Time for Twilight Zone marathon

Wow only three stories in, and I'm already falling in love with Jorge Luis Borges.

Philosophy is so cool. I wish I could realistically do philosophy for a living.

Finished 15 books this year! Not pictured because they were digital or part of a larger volume: Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman and On the Genealogy of Morals by Friedrich Nietzsche.

There are things that can be thought that do not exist, are there things that exist that cannot be thought?

I might actually reach my 15 book goal this year. I have less than half a book to finish in the next week.

Welcome to the most pointless work day of the year

would try

Got the /liv/ mwY hoodie, 😭 thanks @bubsteen.bsky.social !

Finally fixed the mobile navigation on the site for my WIP TTRPG, Terroir. Plan to make more content updates soon too. terroir.yay.boo

bringing home the mushroom

This means war! a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.

*walking in a winter wonderland* ME: where's bluebird? BIRD: gone ME: w... who are you? *bird looks around shiftily* BIRD: I'm new bird

I say this every year but Pale Horses is such winter vibes.

Mr. Beast's next project is Conway's Game of Life with people

Me, to my insect mentor when I plan on stealing his wisdom for a Blue sky post:

Recursive Oreo

“What did they say about me??”

For every carefree, "Don't stress, things always work themselves out!" person there is at least one extremely anxious, detail-oriented, forward-thinking loved one or coworker who has spent years behind the scenes making sure things work out

Growing up is realising that The Three Cabelleros is just about a horny duck
