No mothafucka next question

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

I think the last 24 hours in VA are a stronger indication of what the Democratic Party platform will be in 2026 and going forward than the feeble quaverings of Chuck Schumer.

BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

LOL my husband is trying to talk his director out of an ill-conceived AI implementation plan and I just heard him say the phrase "It's a 20-mile solution for a 10 foot problem," which I am now obsessed with.

"As AI has snaked its way into every gadget, platform, and service imaginable, it’s hard not to wonder who the intended user is — and whether anyone, ever, has wanted the kind of features AI makes possible."

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

I love how all the news out of the US in 2026 is just the one-off news clip you see in the background of Fringe or something to demonstrate that it's an alternate reality. It's like seeing zeppelins over Manhattan. Just super times.

I’m going to steal that one particular Nobel Peace Prize

Shirley Jackson was right. No live organism can exist sanely for long under conditions of absolute reality.

hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again

Abolish Ice should be a centrist position

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

Nobel Please Prize

You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.

A decade ago, an election ago, a year ago, even a week ago, abolishing ICE may have seemed out of the question. But now? Despite trepidation from centrists, the movement has support from politicians, celebrities, journalists, neocons — and 50% of American women. thebarbedwire.com/2026/01/15/a...

[reading the news both sidesing a terrorism campaign against american citizens by roving bands of wannabe death squads] damn I wonder why people don’t trust a lot of journalism anymore

I know I need to stay informed on things, but the fact that nearly every article reads like: “The Almighty Oz Did [Insert New Awful Thing]” is not-so-slowly driving me insane.

Flashbangs burn hotter then lava. They've caused serious burns, severed hands, and even killed. *That's* what ICE just tossed into a car full of kids. Here's our investigation from 2015, by @juliaangwin.com: www.propublica.org/article/flas...

"The sweeping study... found that using AI in education can 'undermine children's foundational development' and that 'the damages it has already caused are daunting.'" They include limiting kids' cognitive, social, and emotional developmen, and increasing inequity. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

It’s kind of wild that we simply do not have a federal government right now and nobody is talking about it directly

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Periodic reminder that your state can pass a law allowing civil suits against federal employees. No need to wait on the feds to adopt a Bivens clause. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

As a small woman I think it’s pathetic to feel the need to carry a gun everywhere to feel safe. If I don’t feel the need how tf do these men that think they’re so big and tough.

BIG POT! BIG POT! BIG POT! (still in progress)

Banning Plato from your university is pretty much the loudest way to scream “we hate free thought and despise the western tradition” i can think of.

Every day is a great day to write to your state legislators and tell them they need to take action for our immigrant communities and against ICE's lawlessness. #mapoli actionnetwork.org/letters/ma-n...

ICE is buying up people's location data as they go to and from work. That's not okay. And Beacon Hill can do something about it. #mapoli actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

If you're wondering if we all are having the same kind of week, I just heard my husband say to a colleague: "Do you ever think work would be more productive if you got hit by a bus?"

A neat thing about health & fitness trackers is watching your sleep deteriorate across time in relation to world events.

I had the thought "I should log in to next door and see what's happening in town" and it's just racism and lies all the way down.

bluesky is all about saying something insane into the void and hearing 2-3 people go “yeah!” in the distance

2025 was the third hottest year ever. Trend is worrying and faster than expected a few years ago. Only when we stop burning coal, oil and gas, temperature will stop rising. www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...

Okay, #BluePit stats before I can collapse properly. I have more work to do before I can share any other stats. Approximated Numbers: ~1,800 pitches ~35,000 likes ~13,500 reposts ~500 WIPs ~200 Published ( #BluePit Published feed stays up for 1 week ) ~800 Querying ( #LitAgents take note!)

If Andy Weir and Ali Hazelwood cowrote a novel, it would be CHEMPORTAL. In this sci-fi romcom with real chemistry, two awkward scientists living in an alternate Toronto must overcome their mutual dislike to save the world from starvation. #Q #A #SF #R #BluePit #BluePit📖

“Of course if you cherry-pick lines from an autopsy report it’s going to sound bad.”

We're not supposed to know what goes on at the bottom of the ocean. I saw this thing that looked like a carrier bag full of eyes holding an umbrella. That's nobody's business

[interrogation] DETECTIVE: tell us the truth! ME: [smugly] I am. DETECTIVE: I'll have you know it's a crime to give false information to a police officer! ME: oh really? What if I told you my name was... MICROSOFT CO-PILOT??? DETECTIVE: [quietly] oh shit he's got us, that's completely legal

THE ENDLESS HALLWAY What starts as a desperate search for his kidnapped sister becomes a race through parallel dimensions and the infinite hallway that links them together on Matt Collin's quest to save his sister and maybe even the world—all of them. #BluePit📖 #BluePit #YA #Q #SP #SF #F

New house is powered almost entirely by an ancient obelisk out the back I’m saving so much money

So square

There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.

Six leading medical organizations plan to ask the courts to throw out revisions to the childhood vaccination schedule announced last week by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other federal officials. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/h...
