What's the smallest unit of time for an AI bro? Sloppy seconds

Hey all! Tess and Chris are the best of us, so here's an alt-texted version of the post showing you where to go buy her memoir! You know what to do, right? Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

Without Bush, there is no Trump. John Roberts is Chief Justice as a quid pro quo for his representation of Bush in Bush v Gore. The policies of break everything and throw money at oligarchs got their start with Bush and time to be refined in the years after.

I'll break it down for you "for too long" for a long time "those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum" some people have acted extremely polite "to mask agenda of cruelty" to hide that they are nasty little bigots

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

It's Russian for "retired at the request of the president."

I've had two new people reach out this week for graphic novel writing coaching, which is exciting! New Year reminder: If you want notes, have questions about how to get started, or even which medium to use for your story idea, I can help amandadeibert.com/coaching

Buff Batman is very silly to me. The little Robin drawing turned out cuter than I thought it would, so I went ahead and made an extra page of him.

In this version of Scrabble all R's are replaced with A and H but then random R's appear on drawing and idea.

Mamdani took over the @NYCMayor account on Twitter but old Eric Adams tweets are still active. That means Mamdani's name and face shows up for old tweets he didn't send. You're probably going to see a lot of screenshots like this where Mamdani appears to praise Netanyahu, but they aren't by Mamdani

I am very fond of my group chat and they get get about one third of my sense of humor.

what if one stopped taking the view that there is any single "The Authentic People" in the US, a concept which is in itself rooted in volkishness and fascism. what if instead we took the position that any attempt to determine "authenticity" is some fascist bullshit and everyone deserves care.

An auspicious start to a new year!

I pay all my bills automagically. I set the gas bill with a limit: if it was under $20, it just got sent. I have been in this apartment since 2011, and I think I've been on the same system the whole time. Just got my first bill that required extra authorization. I musta taken a LOT of showers.

This and Groove is in the Heart are some of the best dance tracks of the era.

i’d die for her

I know I’d be better off if I just went ahead and attached “white” to these statements because the assumption is we all kind of know that’s what they mean but the idea the left can’t do viral politics has to stem from the idea that its somehow different when Black people do it or it’s not the left.

In the rooms of AA they call 12/31 “amateur night.” Stay safe if you’re drinking (get a ride, have a buddy). Stay safe if you’re not drinking and want to stay stopped (drive yourself, have a buddy). Good luck out there.

We're little kids and zoo animals that are in charge of our own care and enrichment, you gotta actually do it or no one else will. May everyone have little snacks and naps when they need them this year

I just sniped a kid in Overwatch and he wrote "ohhh Kirked me" and I just found out they're using that as shorthand for a good snipe HOLY SHIT LOL

WE NEED SOME ORCAS We're holding out for some orcas till the end of the night They gotta be strong and they gotta be fast And they gotta be smooth black and white

I really like this joke from @joshgondelman.bsky.social

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

I want to print YOU DON'T GET GOOD AT A THING BY NOT DOING IT onto little cards and just hand them out in conversation sometimes

hey letterers!

A diligent writer who is not lettering their own work SHOULD create a lettering script once line art is ready (to adjust to the art), just as a diligent line artist SHOULD sketch in balloon placement while thumbnailing, but in many ways these are lost skills among newer creators

Clapping saves fairies. It does not have to be hands that clap. Twerking has saved whole fairy villages.

This thread ... family ... it is Torah

Terrible, always a total magnet. His story about getting cast in Goodfellas, basically his first movie, is so charming www.avclub.com/isiah-whitlo...

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

The people who talk about expanding the tent are never, ever actually expanding the tent. They want to pick up the tent and move it rightwards. If the tent were getting bigger, letting in new people would not require pushing other people out, which the metaphorical expansion somehow always does.

Statement Re: OU Discrimination Investigation Today, my client, Mel Curth, submitted her appeal of the University's Institutional Equity Office finding that she engaged in arbitrary and capricious grading of a student's assignment in violation of that student's religious liberty.

this is a little thread of replies I wrote to a writer friend pondering including queer characters in period pieces and whether we should be accurate to the times (include queerphobia) or allow them to find acceptance despite historical accuracy I think the answer is: both have a read! 👇🧵

This thread of insults should be commemorated in bronze. It should easily make the longlist for the national posting awards.

Antisemitism is on the rise in the States. You have to nut up and call that out, too, and intimately grasp some people are using Netanyahu as their "reason." Netanyahu is a genocidal, imperialist psycho. He is not anymore a poster boy for All than Stephen Miller is for Americans.

this really was the whole thing lmao

@aaron.bsky.team, bring Lexi back and stop suspending Palestinians on the basis of their nationality and who they are. It's hateful, discriminatory and morally repugnant what you & the others are doing to Palestinians on Bluesky. Not even past coverage on your website's conduct brings shame, right.

IF A SNEEZE HAS NEVER FORCED YOU TO GO HOME AND CHANGE YOUR CLOTHING, I DON'T WANNA HEAR ONE WORD ABOUT TAMPONS FROM YOU, THANK YOU AND GOOD DAY.

And it should be noted that slavery was already taking place through the carceral system. Once again, depravity is perfected on Black people and then scaled.

This is accurate - and their subversive rhetoric also suggests that being racist is an inherent quality of whiteness. Thus, white people who are not outwardly racist are inauthentically white. Truly perverse and venomous ideation.

I hate text scams. My sister gets texts from my alma mater asking me to donate. I got lots of texts asking me to sell "my" condo in PA (owned by a different sister). Just had someone reach out about the property I live in...using my landlady's name. Which is one letter off from my name.
