Still wish I had a heated bed

ICE was in Cedar Riverside today. Amazing community turnout, be mindful of the layer of pepper spray in the snow all over the neighborhood

I first posted this at 10pm on Friday, but to provide a more serious explanation of what I’m doing here: I've officially gone into business for myself. After being fired for my choice of pro bono cases 3 months ago, I’ve been doing a few stray cases, but it's time to make things formal.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Scientists recently combined the DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. Things went sideways real fast.

Zygi Wilf told me other teams keep eating his quarterbacks so I asked how many quarterbacks he has and he said he just goes to the inactive roster and gets a new one afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding quarterbacks to the defense and then Minnesota started crying.

Happy #caturday everyone, I hope you're all staying warm

I wish I had a heated bed

Warmer today, friends!

All y'all complaining about snow in December do not deserve this planet

Some of my coworkers and I used to go to a lunch place so often that one day when it was really busy instead of taking our drink orders the waitress just showed us where the pop machine was

Netflix would finish Archive 81 or I would seize and nationalize them

White supremacists, TERFs, etc. want to say racist, misogynistic and transphobic things while still maintaining that they are the victim. Even though people made fun of Charlie Kirk because of his behavior and not his identity, they still considered it an attack on white people. Conservatives.

The harassment is never going to stop as long as the companies give in. They're going to fire every person of color, everyone in the LGBT community, every woman, and that still won't placate the "trolls." They'll just assign white male employees they don't like the title of "liberal" and keep going.

Ham is for Easter, fite me irl

Got the furnace serviced today and the guy asked about carbon monoxide detectors so it’s a good day to share my favorite reason for ensuring your CO detectors are fully functional as the winter approaches:

In MN it's both Give to the Max day and Trans Day of Remembrance. While you're giving to your favorite non-profits, consider also giving mutual aid directly to trans folks who are more likely to live in poverty, face health disparities, and govt threats. www.instagram.com/tctransmutua...

This is a really interesting article about a horrifying distortion of sign language happening in the UK, and which its creators are now trying to export to other countries and their sign languages Learn actual sign languages from Deaf people, not from hearing people making their own weird versions!

Couple dozen people total (FBI, HSI, DEA) on site surrounding Bro-Tex at Hamden and Territorial. “Just executing a search warrant” was the answer given on site.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

We did not consent to any of this, and if it happens the people responsible need to go to prison this time.

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?

the parade is starting!

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
