It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Part of what we lost when newsrooms shifted from dedicated beat reporters to freelancers is the ability to push back/question. News sites uncritically reprint marketing and propaganda, lending it authority it doesn't deserve and actively contributing to misinformation. As with Elon, so with Sam.

Why on EARTH would anyone suspend Goran?? @safety.bsky.app and @support.bsky.team get him back on here. What are you doing??

Today's the day!

Glad the one that is only hallucinating 48% of the time is gaining traction in healthcare, legal and financial services, where a single error costs millions

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

This headline is going around and the thing that is really bothering me is that buying a single item and then using it and NOT collecting more items is literally the opposite of hoarding.

I wrote to Alan, to ask if he minded if I use an element from one of these in Aphra and he called me up and said he has no memory of writing this, but sure.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

Everyone should follow this and similar accounts because if billionaires are paranoid how is that a bad thing?

I'm getting at least three of these. I 100% recommend Letters for Lucardo ( LOVE it!), and Smut Peddler X (I'm in it!)

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Tomorrow!

Our local does an all night horror marathon in summer...

I will never stop laughing.

I have given the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me the groundhog looked sweet and so hungry

Need the visiting family out of the way Wednesday or even a few hours on Thursday? We're here for that. And we're making it very worth their while to come in!

Saw an interesting piece of advice recently: ask the AI search engines for an answer in a field in which you are very knowledgeable. The results will make it clear just how much they get wrong, and how brazen they are about it. Now, apply that to every subject in which you are NOT an expert.

If you are concerned about people swiping books from your little free library and reselling those books, I ask you to go to your local used bookstore and sell a book Okay? Understand? Alright, next question

Early drawings of Ollie! The first two are for a different pitch about a girl who adopts a hedgehog. I wanted her design and personality to also be hedgie-like. I shared that with my agent alongside an autobio idea that wasn't quite working. She said, "well, what if you combined them?"

the corporate press softsells it, and "AI" gets all the attention, but this administration really is trying to impose a ban on all federal and state oversight of corporate power

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Since I'm (probably) done getting Epics until 2026, here is my current Epic Collection

Trans Oz movie? From a major studio? Yeah... I don't see it happening.

We would have had so much fun, all of us together, enjoying the fruits of Chester Gould's unusual talents. It would have been so good. But the streak is broken now.

Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This Wednesday the 26th: the sale goes nuclear. All clearance sections, 50% off through November 30th.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

This is the technological equivalent of not being able to get your house insured in Florida, and for similar reasons. share.google/SOpWK172vQx5...

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Can anyone think of a crop that is farmed at the north pole other than ice pops? It's funny that climate change doesn't seem to have affected ice pop availability at all. They really are nature's most plentiful bounty. What's your favourite flavour? Mine's blue - the taste of cool Arctic water.

Oh, hello! Looks like this has been officially announced at last!

The details are grim. That they found the USAF & Fire Dept safe prep zones should be worrying. It’s against TOS for me to say what I think should happen to the Texans who planned to do this. To do what US politicians falsely accuse immigrants of so ICE can kidnap working mothers Every accusation…

I don't think anyone in ICE or the administration expected how hot resistance would get

It's the 40th anniversary of the debut of Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes, so let's dive back into what made that strip so wonderful with insight from Skottie Young, @chriseliopoulos.com, Michael Cho, and more. Note: This was written for the 30th anniversary of SKTCHD and is free to read.

VCs are like those parasites that infect an ant's brain and remote pilot it to the tallest grass to get eaten by a sheep so the parasite can reproduce in the sheep guts

Wednesday warriors! Are you picking up Batman/Deadpool today?

Wayne’s work is absolutely great, I LOVED Work-Life Balance

Look, I spent way too long on this video so you all have to see it a lot.

New single issues out tomorrow, but one is definitely the big deal.
