We're open for fiction submissions! We publish unsettling bad time stories that straddle the horror, fantasy, and science fiction spectrum. But genre is made up so if you have a dark weird horrible story that could be a fit, send it in and let us worry about it. No closing date, open indefinitely.

Grateful to the blacksky labeler for the heads up on that one weirdo (now hidden/reported/blocked) who decided to swoop in on a post about a massacre of Black sharecroppers to warn me off racism against white people.

Tulsa 1921: An American Tragedy It's been 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre, a two-day attack on Black Americans in the thriving business district of Greenwood. Hear from survivors, descendants of victims and thought leaders in the CBS News special "Tulsa 1921: An American Tragedy," anchored…

If you're enraged by the way Google and Microsoft are weaponising AI in search, you really need to read this piece. I, too, was persuaded after about 10 minutes. Given the hellscape that's the internet these days, good search results are more important than ever. And Kagi is *very good* at those.

Weirdest, best, funnest New Years Eve activities: go! Tell me them!

Remember earlier this year when the US president wasn’t seen for 2 consecutive days and everyone thought he secretly died and there was so much hope and joy and celebration about moving on from that absolutely horrid regime and what we would do in the “after” times? Bring that energy into 2026 ✨

My first understanding of the Tulsa Race Massacre was via the Watchmen series. From what I understand I’m not alone in that experience. Here’s another that deserves wide awareness. Gonna have to track down Blood in Their Eyes.

I pointed out that an eco-conscious organization shouldn’t use genAI in their posts courting eco-conscious media professionals

Definitely. It is spelled “definitely”.

"Rebecca Solnit...said, you know, Donald Trump only has one power, and that's the power to make commands. But we also have only one power, which is to refuse those commands. And if we refuse those commands, Donald Trump or Adolf Hitler or Pol Pot or anyone doesn't have any power."

Walking through a Starbucks in Toronto I made intense eye contact with a person who looked very familiar. As I tried to place them, I kept walking forward, still locked in on their eyes. I realized it was William H Macy at the exact moment I walked into a stool and absolutely ate shit on the floor.

I had a very difficult time working out what I was seeing here

If I were paid to do this job, I'd be in the media and on social media every day. I'd say: 1)get vaccinated for covid and the flu. 2) wear a respirator (N95) mask in crowded indoor spaces like public transit. 3) keep your holiday get-togethers safe by keeping things well ventilated and filtered.

👏 bravo @elypaul.bsky.social . @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social do educate yourselves 👇. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

my favorite past time when talking to much younger men is to give them advice on wooing women that is really just care and feeding instructions for iguanas

Canadian treachery is campaigning from the left and governing on the right

If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there's an open source tool for that.

Pass it on, Toronto!

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV. There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Remember: Type out "Trump" and put a space at the end.

[preparing to get screamed at] I think I officially don’t need to know if you’re mad that an article is paywalled. Perhaps that can be an Inside Thought

The Ontario government is asking for public feedback on significant changes to the conservation authorities in Ontario. You have until Dec 22, 2025 to speak up. The ON govt is planning to consolidate 36 local Conservation Authorities into 7 large regional agencies. ero.ontario.ca/notice/025-1...

Oh, Lee.

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Anyone have ideas on how to make it… less terrible? Email text is tiny. Autocorrect is autoincorrect. AI crap is everywhere. My camera doesn’t have a slo-mo option anymore for some stupid reason. What the hellllllll

Ford closed the science centre for no reason, is shrinking it dramatically, and gov’t doesn’t want you to know the truth about this. My column: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/toron...

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

Wowwowwowwww

Snorted

and of that 90%, 79% were white men but yes, tell me again how women and people of colour are taking all the jobs? and tell me again how women and people of colour are told to do labs and shadow schemes over and over while men are literally handed all the actual opportunities

absolutely fucking not

Take note:

A @1goodtern.bsky.social thread crossposted from ExTwitter: 🧵 The UKHSA have started publishing this goldmine again - but this year it's even more valuable *because they've reset it to a period when testing was consistent*.

The House is expected to vote this week on Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to make providing trans youth with gender-affirming care punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Life-saving health care is on the line. Tell your members of Congress to reject this bill NOW. 

It got me too. I’m so sad.

Corsi-Rosenthal boxes are so cool

Nowadays they make women so big it’s dangerous to cross the street. Wait… I’m being told I’m thinking of trucks. My mistake.

BREAKING: Seattle Children's Hospital successfully fought this summer to get DOJ's invasive trans care subpoena quashed. The Seattle court partially unsealed the case this week. This was the fourth, previously sealed case mentioned in this recent Law Dork report: www.lawdork.com/p/judges-doj...

Feel like leaving a review for this Rebel News nonsense anti-LGBTQIA+ “children’s book”?

Oh yeah. Totally. Yup.
