do not go piggly into that good wiggly

happy rectangular february, sunday-first world.

Imagine being a 400th generation rat, thinking you are the apex predator, and then along comes fuzzy Godzilla. sfstandard.com/2026/01/27/c...

I always like “fix your hearts” because it (correctly) puts the onus on the individual, and it (correctly) suggests being a good person is both an action and an ongoing process. Anyway, I’m trying.

oh my god, i’m crushed. catherine o’hara you queen

For Liam.

Fuck it. We get drunk. Let the fruit wine flow.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Fuck all the way off, and then fuck off a little further, just keep going and fucking off until you're completely out of fucking off space and then fuck off just a tiny bit further.

Deleted my previous repost, my ability to trust anything on the internet these days gets chipped away more and more. Sucks.

sorry to burst everyone's bubble but these are either entirely gen ai or at the very least ai upscaled or altered. these are taken from a page called @squirrel_boxes on instagram. quick 🧵 to explain why they're ai generated:

Yeaaahhh, this is not an agency that can be reformed. Tear it down.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Seeing way too many Genrative AI #RebelBirds out there. Do better.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

One of the greatest superhero artists to ever do it. If you're drawing a comics fight scene this week, please pay tribute to this legend with a SAL BUSCEMA PUNCH.

Appreciate what's left unobscured on the car, though.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

I know it’s controversial but I will always side with “why should we change the idealistic symbols, they’re the ones who suck.”

❤️❤️❤️

“I’m so tire of these celebrity podca- oh. Oh damn.”

I just thought everyone should see this

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines. Every day, he shames the United States as a nation.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

R.I.P.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

Current events notwithstanding, it’s crazy how being back at work for just two weeks has ruined my entire life

Look at those goofy cuffs on his jacket. Apparently that's a Border Patrol thing. Looks like third rate costume design for fictional fascists in a two star satirical action movie from 1991. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Th...

My contribution (a little late) to the #ICEOUT #ICEOUTMPLS comic posts. My experience with ICE in my city so far, keeping the language as vague as possible to protect the groups on the ground helping people here.

this is pretty much the only 1950s aesthetic i’d like to bring back

What is hope, if not spite persevering?

self-promotion department: right after 9/11 i wrote a thing about our new usage of the word "homeland" i wish it said more about the Nazis' use of the concept, but other than that it seems to hold up maybe you would like to read it www.spectacle.org/1201/bartlet...

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

It’s disgusting that Tony Kushner had to stand up to a man who was saying Renee Good got what was coming to her. But without that happening we might never have known that he needlepoints pillows with scenes from The Shining

Spider-Woman by Dennis Hopeless and Javier Rodriguez. This year I'm going to actually track down physical copies of it to re-read.

Scotch Creek (pronounced "crick" for some reason)

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

You're not ready for the name of the energy transition specialist at Heat Pump Association UK

How have I never seen this before? Wowzers.

A shitpost so great Billy Joel actually heard about it
