Sorry, Lins, if it is your GOAL to do something you need a PLAN for achieving it. That IS his job. Your job is to spout incoherent nonsense; you’re doing fine.

If you need a momentary distraction right now — and by heavens (literally) we all do — then here's a story about how our local supermassive black hole undergoes episodes of cosmic indigestion. The last one was just over a century ago! badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/our-milky-... 🔭 🧪

Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level. You have to actively remember literally over half the US adult population is *unable to perceive subtext* www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/2024-2025-li...

Once again reminded that literally everything this guy says is a performative soundbite intended for a horde of shrieking racist incels who follow him online.

for reference, 73% of americans supported the war in iraq in 2003 — two years after 9/11 and two years of the bush administration making the case for it. this will be different, iran's in much worse shape to begin with, but it's starting wildly unpopular and will only get worse with consequences

It's hard to overstate the differences between this and the Iraq War, and not just in terms of the lack of buildup or unwillingness to manufacture consent or go through the motions of internationalism. The days after Shock and Awe were as frightening as the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

I get it. Lotsa people liked this guy. He had some appealing traits. But, um...absolutely not. His judgment sucks.

holy fuck holy fuck holy FUCK

This whole "they were betting on Iran being bombed thing" has me pretty sure that ruthlessly tackling online gambling as an entire sphere of policy would probably do a lot to help the rot in our society, and probably way more than most people think.

It is genuinely incredible watching people brush off Nazi incident after Nazi incident with Platner JUST ADMIT YOU DON’T THINK BEING A NAZI IS DISQUALIFYING

Two simultaneous truths: 1. No matter how badly someone hurt you, once you part ways you don’t get to decide if they grow and become better. It’s their life and their choice. 2. You are never under any obligation to give them access to you, no matter how much they do that.

“You may be able to predict classified military operations that kill thousands of people through scrutinizing sudden betting surges on Polymarket” is the sort of sentence that just whites my brain out with how bleak this timeline is.

The hits just keep on coming. I have no idea what "we just sold the IP" means in this context (and doubt Catbird does either). But few IP lawyers would advise such statements. tl:dr - Catbird started with "Tolkien is bad because bad people like his stuff" and it's gone steeply downhill from there.

I took a class in college that was about the complexities of revolutions and a thing I think about CONSTANTLY from that class is that if a revolution succeeds all of a sudden they are now the ruling class and hooooboy that is a totally different type of skill. bsky.app/profile/ivan...

Blurry action shot from 2016. The time I stabbed an international champion in the chest. Proud of this one even though the judges missed it. (I’m the one in blue).

If the power rangers robots could cast magic would they be Wizords?

Hey, you. Yes, you. Stop looking over your shoulder. You on your phone there. You can't fix anything right now by rubbernecking the cascading disaster. Go for a walk. Clean your kitchen. Stay fresh. Give some money to DWB if you have it to give. They're gonna need it.

I don't hear a sound Silent faces in the ground The quiet screams but I refuse to listen If there is a hell I'm sure this is how it smells I wish this were a dream But no, it isn't.

yeah one of my students is studying how LLMs reinforce racist uses of evolutionary biology + genetics and it was *far* more alarming to me that some models would point the user to real writing from racists- some modern, some old public domain stuff- and that is WAY more worrying than made up stuff

Humans imbue everything they create with their politics—and everyone has politics. This is true of the most seemingly mundane things imaginable, if you really drill down into what they are and how they’re made Of *course* it’s true of LLMs, it may be as intensely true of them as it’s possible to be

is one of your 2026 resolutions to support independent artists? °🥂⋆. ೃ🍾࿔*:･ if so, may i humbly suggest my ko-fi memberships, which come with a growing catalogue of monthly NPC tokens, early access for comms & adoptables, and exclusive art, behind the scenes content, and more!

It’s been 44 years. They Might be Giants needs to get off the fence and decide if they’re giants or not.

Hestia has a way of always looking startled no matter her mood.

This genuinely flummoxes me as well.

Today’s post-it cat.

At the risk of sounding like I’m chest beating, I can’t bring myself to be afraid of these chuds on a personal level. I have a healthy awareness of the bad things they can do to me and people I love, but mostly that just makes me angry. They haven’t earned my fear.

The biggest effect I see from people still spending time on X—which many deny or don't even notice—is how it shifts their perception of what's normal. Such as: Actively anti-trans is speaking like a normal person Objecting to Nazi symbols turns off the working class Epstein knew a bunch of Jews etc

Fucking hell.

Was fencing last night and caught the first glimmer of how I used to fight in awhile. I fight to teach people so often that I don’t get the the chance to engage monkey brain as often as I used to, so it’s nice to be reminded that he’s still in there.

It's time. Colin, the comrade running the shelter-in-place food program I'm working at, told me that this week he's had to turn down asks from schools to supply food directly to their sheltering families. The reason? There's not enough money coming in for that amount of food. Let's change that.

Im currently blocking a bunch of MAGA people on tumblr because they found one of my posts and it’s a reminder of the times that I’m basically numb to death-threats at this point. Like they don’t even register. Ive read a ton today and I feel nothing but mild irritation.

I have refused to be angry on the internet today. Be proud of me.

Medieval scabbards were restricted in how they were tied by local laws in German free cities. I’m going to unpack why and talk about how this relates to writing violence in weapon-carrying societies. #booksky #writesky

Casting a former rugby player as Dunk in a knight of the seven kingdoms was really inspired. His physicality and roughness add a reality to the character that just absolutely sells the part. The Hedge Knight is the best thing GRRM has ever written, I still insist. It’s the perfect story.

Really bothered once again by the tendency to describe cruelty and monstrousness as “inhuman.” Y’all. We as humans are capable of tremendous acts of wonder and singular kindness… but greed and violence and atrocity are as much a part of our base nature as those things are.

you don't understand. that cop's former partner was one day away from retirement when he got hit by a snowball. he held his partner as he lay on the ground with a runny nose and waited with him for an ambulance. he never caught the sons of bitches who threw it

You know what a weird space to be in in writing is? Having a long series that’s in conversation with tropes you have weird feelings about but you can’t talk to anyone about how without spoiling the story for whoever is listening.

Gundam Wing is amazing because it has a man get assassinated by being dropped out of a plane from high altitude by a hidden trap door in the floor and then shot in the head by a pistol fired from inside said plane **while he is already falling to his death.** 10/10 90’s cheese. Zero notes.

Really think more people need to recognize that the big tent including people they disagree with on everything beyond “fascism bad and must be stopped” doesn’t mean you have to hang out with or even like those people. You can just work on separate projects. It mostly means you leave them alone.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

The thing about former Prince Andrew is that he lost his protector. Our Epstein conspirators have not lost theirs.
