NBA game in London. Someone screams “Leave Greenland alone!” during US national anthem. The crowd reacts in support.

The uncomfortably offended look on this vapid techbro's face when Teller suggests that if the AI industry's claims of communal benefit from their thieving scraping was true, all these companies would be nationalised in the public interest: youtube.com/shorts/7eQIU...

You just know that Trump really wants Greenland because he thinks it's actually as big as it appears on the Mercator projection maps.

Everyone should report @icegov.bsky.social for intolerance and credible threats of violence. They are a hate group targeting innocent minorities, and now they are shooting and killing American citizens. They do not belong in our towns and cities. They do not belong in our online communities either.

Watching Fringe for the first time (up to Season 3), and one thing that strikes me is how much Joshua Jackson looks like a cross between Mark Sheppard and Jack Quaid. Someone should cast the three of them in a movie or show where they all play brothers.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

The Governors of the free States of America, particularly Democratic states, need to hold a summit to create a deliberative body and as a framework for collective action against those who would wage war against those states

This is the absolute most unhinged take on the Steamed Hams meme I've ever seen. I love it. youtu.be/Kclq1rXnGRg?...

FYI: “There won’t be elections” and “There might be elections but they’ll just deny the results so it won’t count” IS VOTER SUPPRESSION LANGUAGE. You say this, YOU are participating in discouraging people from voting. You are part of the problem.

Had leftover bones from 2 rotisserie chickens, so boiled them down with onion, garlic, and seasonings into stock to make a gravy, and used that to help make this: fully homemade chicken & potato pie, with broccoli and carrots. So deliciously chunky 😁

I doubt Newsom will be the candidate, but given some of the replies to this, I get the feeling that JD Vance could switch to the Dems & saps would still be spouting drivel like "we won't have a perfect candidate, so shut your face & vote for him" because daring to have a principle is too scary.

BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

X actually doing *something* about the AI CSAM machine is good, but it's infuriating that a company can put out a product to create & distribute CSAM & non-consensual images of women *on its own platform* for several weeks, & just go "whoopsie doodle" & face zero consequences.

Here’s what 6 weeks of training and a bunch of camo bullshit gets you.

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

Anger is always fear turned outward.

That and he was often seen or depicted in more romantic depictions as being with his Imperial Guard troops, soldiers who were picked (in part) because of their towering stature, which made them more imposing on the battlefield, thus making him appear shorter. Mostly British propaganda, though.

The left for the last 50 years: "Universal healthcare, affordable childcare, more paid time off, 4-day work week, more public transportation, streamline immigration, universal basic income, strengthen women's rights" "Some liberals": Hmm, if only the left had any ideas

They just can't stand it when women don't submit to their bullshit and play house slave.

Trump was in Detroit today touring a Ford plant, and one of the workers shouted "paedo protector!" at him. Instead of ignoring it, Trump angrily yelled back "fuck you!" and flipped him off.

Some guys do not realise how lucky they are when it comes to something as simple as being allowed to play video games. Growing up as a girl and being berated by family for even thinking of playing a game sucks.

AS HE SHOULD

One thing I do wish modern shows would get comfortable with is recasting actors. Re-watching The Expanse lately and (spoilers ahead)...while I completely understand why they killed off Alex given what Cas Anvar did, I still wish they'd just re-casted the role.

You can tell Star Trek DS9 is fiction, because when the Klingons launch an unprovoked invasion of Cardassia, Federation politicians immediately condemn it on principle. They don't spend days equivocating & then reschedule a diplomatic summit because it interfered with Gowron's Bat'leth tournament.

Renee Good was a poet, a member of our literary community, a mother, a resister, a queer, and one of us. This could’ve been any one of us. She’d stopped to film, a simple act of resistance that most of us would do or have done. This was the 9th ICE shooting in 4 months.

I have no horse in the specific Stranger Things race (I watched just enough of S1 to know it wasn't for me and never went back), but as a general comment on fandom: for Christ's sake learn to accept disappointment and move on.

There's always been a not insignificant swath of Brits who talk a good game about individual liberty but practice a form of class-based deferential servility: "know your place, don't speak up, keep your head down, and do what you're told", which results in stuff like this being waved through.

Honestly, as fan-baity as the Sequel Trilogy is, this was absolutely the right call from JJ. Don't do it if it doesn't serve the story you want to tell. Fandom needs to chill out and understand they are not the focus of the story (or at least they shouldn't be).

No means no, you rapey dickheads.

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

ICE will melt in Hell

Trump definitely kidnapped him for making fun of the Double Handed Wank Dance more than any other reason, didn't he?

Americans keep visiting a city 4,000 miles away from Mexico, in a country that could barely fill a small arena with its entire Mexican immigrant population, and then acting shocked it doesn't have the kind of Mexican food you can find in El Paso, before concluding the entire city's cuisine sucks.

Is this all because Elon Musk was caught out having others artificially inflate his rank for Path of Exile 2 and Diablo IV, so now the tech world is coming up with something that can cut out the middleman for loser CEOs?

I want to do a thread on "Small Press Red Flags" brought to you by years in the trenches combined with some issues I’m seeing pop up again in writer circles. Note: an isolated incident might not be a red flag, but cumulative flags are always worth examination. First off: Let’s talk about money.

Today has been our new adopted kitty Amicus's 16th birthday 🎂 Of course we had a little party; he got a card, a special dinner, treats, and some special milk 😁

How very predictable for studios in this modern political climate to take a folk hero of the common people who robs from the rich to give to the poor and make a grimdark slog about how "HE WAS NO HERO".

It would be a great affront to free speech for the government to ditch the CSAM, AI slop, bottish disinformation machine, but you the ordinary citizen must hand over your photo ID to the government to read your Bluesky DMs.

Canadian artist Ashley MacIsaac had a show canceled because AI incorrectly labeled him a sex offender He's now meeting with lawyers and considering suing Google (via CBC News)

Any move on Greenland or Canada would invite widespread condemnation from NATO and the EU, and potentially drive them all straight into the arms of China, who would undoubtedly relish the opportunity to permanently dislodge America's traditional allies from its sphere of influence.

In other words, it's a total clusterfuck and nobody actually knows what's happening.

CW: sick animal Being part of pet groups online is great, but also incredibly frustrating and traumatic at times. If I have to see one more post of a critically sick cockatiel with the owner begging for advice on saving them that DOESN’T involve taking them to a vet, I’m going to lose it.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

One thing that DS9 does well is eschew traditional Trek tropes. With the exception of Admiral Leyton (and Ross's one-off deal with Section 31), they never did the "corrupt Admiral" trope. Instead they gave us corrupt cadets in S6's 'Valiant', corrupted by overconfidence and lack of experience.

Take it from a Filipino, even if you despise the current rulers of your country, you will live to regret the day the United States comes in to remove them

On its birthday, with one image, what's your favourite DS9 episode?
