A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

ICE shot a legal observer in the face in Minneapolis. Abolish ICE and prosecute every single one of their deputized terrorists.

ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

For the first time in my life I have a collection of completed work that I actually like, ready to send out into the world. I'm no longer buried in disparate drafts, partial fragments, or loathed ideas. Going into 2026 with optimistic (but realistic) feelings towards my output!

We're going to need a bigger Hague.

thankfully donald trump is speedrunning administration and political movement suicide. this should be extremely bad for him and his movement long term. democrats please stand against this the world is begging for you to stand strong against imperialism

January 2nd: 2 magazines rejections at the same time. 2026 is over, bring on 2027.

Thread of (just some) of the shorter writer I really loved this year: Essays, poetry, short fiction, whatever. No particular rhyme or reason, just things I liked!

this season of STRANGER THINGS is frustrating because the bandwagoned hate is ridiculously hyperbolic but it's still flawed enough –– IE, a redundant pattern of bad plans, poor dialogue, heart to hearts, and so-so action –– it's not worth defending what it does well either

I'm two years in drawing the same person for secret santa. This year, she also drew me. In future years, it will devolve into a 1 on 1 showdown, the family gathered around to witness us engage in a highly obfuscated duel of gifting.

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

the president wont see your cheap dunks against jeffery epstein . But your friends who have ties to state sponsored pedophilia will

I am reading that New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin and I cannot overemphasize how much he is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like. I resent having to know who this man is. I wish to wipe him from my memory.

Brand Manager getting ready for Pride Month

I entered a supermarket last week in Northern Europe that was trialing an AI assistant on those self hand scanning things you carry around. Apparently it recommends accompanying items based on what you'd already scanned. Deranged corporate mindrot stuff

This reminds me: the last few months I've been revisiting a lot of late 90s and early 2000s MMO stuff. Runescape, Everquest, Ultima etc. It's been such a rich nostalgic experience, and become very clear there's a magic to older games that is rarely itched nowadays.

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

READ. THE. SUBHEAD.

The Pope is filling the catacombs with barrels of moonshine

A new Pynchon, a new PTA-Pynchon, a new Pope, a new country I'm living in, and a new citizenship. For all it's horrible facets, 2025 is shaping up to be a really interesting year personally. I just need to actually get on top of writing 😅

Finding out I'm blocked on twitter by a journalist I really like and regularly read, but have never interacted with, is my personal 9/11. What did I do! 😭

this hasan vs ethan debate

Rockstar announcing that GTA VI is delayed to May 2026 is because they don't want to get smoked by Clair Obscur for GOTY. I will accept no alternative theory.

Momentous day for rabid homophobes who converted to Catholicism as adults and also gay people who loved conclave

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

happy ten year anniversary to this post

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

Good morning Bluesky !

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

as always I am finding it very difficult to work

Still mad we spent 9 months trying to buy a house in 🇸🇪, having agents tell us we needed certain things to legally do so, despite the govt. confirming that's b.s. We rented a place we didn't want, while we sorted out appeasing realtors, and all the houses we wanted are long gone

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead
