internet, halp! my Jlab bluetooth headphones/mic have decided to _skip like fuck_ while connected to my work computer (Win11 PC). Wtf is going on and how do i stop it.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Unclench your jaw. Relax your brow. Go get a drink of water. See if you've taken your meds Eat something. Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing. Because you do. You're a wonderful person. And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

MINNEAPOLIS — Hmong homeowners know their rights… randomly looking for Hmong & Asian families… a racial terror campaign, nothing less…

Senate Republicans just narrowly blocked consideration of the resolution to put a check on the President's military actions in Venezuela. We will not give up. Congress must prevent our troops from being put in harm’s way to secure access to another country’s oil.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

Don't say arrested. Kidnapping and abduction are the correct words for what they are doing. They are the homegrown terrorists, given license by a cruel and lawless regime intent on destroying all we could have been.

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

this is about as succinct an explainer you could put out there for gavin newsom and it’s why i am so constantly angry that a shocking percentage of left of center adults are like, “this is all we can ask for. it would be too risky to try for more.”

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) -- A Missouri bill could force Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the state to identify themselves, if passed. The bill’s introduction follows a deadly shooting in Minneapolis involving an ICE agent and a civilian.

i am very very cranky and very very bored, ask me things about niq and i's PacRim or the #DCEAUoD?

NEW: GoFundMe's rules forbid fundraisers tied to legal funds for violent crimes. One for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, currently nearing $500K, changed the language in its description after @wired.com reached out (but not in the images at the top of the page, oops) @dell.bsky.social reports:

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.

This is the early activation of the Quarterly Social Media Estimated Tax Payments Warning System. If you make quarterly estimated tax payments, your Q4 2025 payment is due Thursday!

As Mister Rogers once said, look for the helpers.

QOTD: What car do you want most, but know would be an absolutely miserable experience to own?

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

May Renee Nicole Good rest in peace and may her family find strength.

Collaborators.

Holy fuck. Well one thing is sure, no women will buy anything from @warlordgames.com. Asshole. And before Bexit I did buy some models from them. Never again. Did I mention 4P Press offers some lovely STL files of model ships and WWI planes, while providing a nice array of rules to cover such?😊

do the work not because you have to but because that's a life well-lived. live the fuck outta your life. the people we buried would be fucking pissed off if you don't. make art. kill nazis. don't get discouraged. enjoy the sunrise. work hard on this and rest. enjoy being alive. go down swinging.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

"WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS!" MASSIVE protests continue to grow in Minneapolis. Follow our friends @statuscoupnews.bsky.social for on-the-ground reporting.

This is why I'm doing #MoreJoyDay tomorrow. If I can make one or two of you smile, then I've made things slightly less awful.

I used to live about 3 blocks from here (and have friends who still do). Absolutely devastating.

Let the Fire Burn is a good documentary on this terrible tragedy. It is free to stream on Kanopy which many libraries offer for free. Here's the trailer for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Putin and his cronies including the current owners of LJ can go to hell, but plenty of people inside Russia are their victims, too, and forgetting that fact leads us to bad places.

On December 29, the current owners of LJ posted an announcement to the Russian language news community: ru-news.livejournal.com/80899.html You can drop that into Google Translate, it does pretty okay with Russian these days.

2025, at least we survived, 2026, the problems get fixed

This sounds like an excellent event for folks who are new to the age verifiable debate and not yet convinced that these laws are as harmful as they really are!

in case anyone was wondering Waze is owned by google and has been since 2013. It's old news that has shocked almost everyone I've told.

Oh hey look, it's Sarah Ditum, a raging fucking transphobic bigot who has been a major player in the UK "gender critical" multi-year public campaign to manufacture consent for stripping trans people of their legal rights because she's a raging transphobic bigot!

🌬️‼️ VERY high fire danger today! Record heat, 80-100+ mph winds, and a very dry airmass = BE SMART. Winds will be strongest until 6p. 80-100+ mph winds in Boulder/west metro, 40-50 mph peak gusts in Denver 12-6p. Still windy tomorrow and cooler but lower fire danger. #COwx

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.
