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?

Panama Canal, Mexico, Greenland, Canada. Any one of them could be his next target. Congress ought to get a hold on Emperor Caligula here and impeach.

I get diplomacy is delicate, largely because our nations are dominated by thin-skinned weak men looking to puff their chests at every opportunity. I get it. But suggesting expecting better than "huh, what can you do?" to Trump's illegal attack on Venezuela is naïve idealism is condescending drivel.

after all this, there is a non-zero chance that Maduro successfully lobbies/bribes Trump for a pardon

Starmer is a contemptible coward.

The Greek island, Syros, is offering free accommodation in exchange for looking after rescued cats www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/artic...

The US attack on Venezuela is plainly illegal; it violates the UN Charter, there was no Congressional approval, and there was clearly no immediate threat justifying action in self-defence. It will now be used as post-hoc justification for imperialist regimes around the world.

No, Grok doesn't "say", because Grok isn't a sentient being you can actually interview. AI techbros are gleefully rubbing their hands together that you irresponsible cowards and media hacks are absolving them entirely of their product they made producing child sexual abuse material.

I can say "fuck off" too if that works? Calling the kind of drek these soul vampires are foisting on us "cognitive amplifier tools" is absolutely laughable, considering many studies show the exact opposite.

please be critical of even your favorite politicians. democracy can only function if we are constantly demanding better.

Watching DS9's 'The Begotten', also know as: René Auberjonois shows you how good an actor he was by making you cry talking to a jar of goo.

Happy New Year everyone! We're now closer to 2050 than 2000 😁

You know it's bad when the one country on Earth known for being persistently rainy is starting to catch fire.

One of my housemates from my first year of university back in 2011 has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. He's started a GoFundMe, he's already over halfway to his target of $4,000. If anyone can kindly chip in, even just a few dollars, it will all add up: gofund.me/32e225f5f

Who agrees? ✋

The Security Service of Ukraine summed up the results of large-scale operations for 2025 ▪️ Operation "Spider Web": in a few hours, 41 Russian strategic aviation aircraft were hit. The damage amounted to over $7 billion. ▪️ In the Novorossiysk Bay, Sub Sea Baby underwater drones hit a "Kalibr"-

Seriously?? The SPSFC, BBNYA and SPFBO gen AI cover submission issues/controversies from the last couple of years weren’t enough?

As I (and thousands of other people) predicted, Labour's non-deal with the USA wasn't worth the paper it isn't printed on. Starmer set Britain up to be Trump's chew toy. Absolutely catastrophic to have traded our EU membership for this turbocharged farce. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Just when you thought Bacon Bros - the single most insufferable and irritating foodstuff obsessive - weren't a thing any more.

Every single one of these whinge pieces are just mentally disturbed psychos telling on themselves. Every time, without fail. It's invariably someone bemoaning: "young 'uns today are so entitled and selfish. Anyway, why aren't my kids that I mentally tortured showering me with love on demand?"

Any confusion around every decision the Ontario government makes can be solved by answering the question: "which of Premier Drug Fraud's mates benefit from this decision?" Here, the answer is: his developer mates!

you've just opened up a star trek-themed restaurant what are you calling it? a seafood themed restaurant: FISHERMAN'S WORF

Happy Boxing Day!

What I really love about Bluesky is that the "show less like this" feature just straight up doesn't work.

Temu Dr.Mengele stuff...

One thing that's not often talked about with Die Hard - the best Christmas movie of all time - is it has some all-time best (weird) line deliveries: Ellis' laugh: "eheeeerh eheeeerh eheeeerh." "No moar taaaaayble. Where you going PAAAAHL?" "Send in the car. Send in the caaaeeeerrrrr."

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope everyone has a great day filled with family, festivities, and fun 🎄❤️

Some political thoughts that occur to me as I watch the greatest Christmas movie ever made. (Thread)

Some Star Trek Christmas art. Enjoy. #scifi #startrek #Christmas #scifiart.
