Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives. Hmmmmm

I will stand by, this remains the funniest mistranslation in manga localization history

New from 404 Media: people are 3D-printing whistles to warn each other about the presence of ICE. Some people make designs and upload them; others are given a design and are printing hundreds and hundreds of whistles at home. It's been effective in Chicago www.404media.co/the-latest-d...

Here are some more examples. These whistles come with an immigrant rights hotline, instructions on how to warn people. 3D printing is “a way to show a little extra solidarity, because it's being made for a specific purpose.” www.404media.co/the-latest-d...

US senators will say anything. "Standing up to donald trump gave him more power." No it didn't. That isn't true.

every time you watch this you discover a new way in which this went wrong

Three days after the events of No Time to Die, MI6 agents roll the stone away from Bond’s tomb but he is not there

Joyce Carol Oates sitting across a desk from Kendrick Lamar: "So I'm putting a team together..." Isaac Chotiner knocks on the open door.

"A law license is conditional, not permanent, and misconduct can strip it away. Sanctions, suspensions and disbarment are the ultimate professional punishments, and they are enforced by state courts where attorneys are licensed. Not by federal authorities." www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

"The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN." www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

@safety.bsky.app you must reinstate Sarah Kendzior immediately. She is a shining light of clarity, reasoning, and resistance. If she's been accused of anything I can only assume it was done by a coordinated right wing attack.

you can't just bring back austin powers. the franchise wrote itself into a corner after he volunteered to stay behind forever in the shagadelic dimension to save foxxy and vanessa. they already brought him back once without explaining how he escaped from fembot island, the audience won't buy it

New: On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command." www.mediamatters.org/oath-keepers...

Rewatching "Children of Men" for the 1st time in almost 20 years and OMG, the opening lines. "Day 1,000 of the Siege of Seattle. The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques...the deportation of illegal immigrants will continue." The movie takes place in 2027.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

After James Bond’s death, four new agents appear, all claiming to be 007. But after the Cyborg Bond blows up London, the real Bond emerges from his healing pod and leads the other three to victory.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.

James Bond somehow survived and now has robotic spider legs

I think voters at large will very likely have trouble remembering details of chuck schumer selling out the aca by nov 2026. also I think in the next three months you're gonna see a lot of unlikely folks stopping by the dsa table at various no kings events

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

Guys, the James Bond thing isn't that hard: 007 Z

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. (Published January)

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

Watching Interview with the Vampire, wondering what happens if two vampires have the same name

She’s excellent. And right.

I’m not even gonna say it. How dare he serve up something this obvious.

The most feckless members of your caucus can’t hide behind this after betraying everyone who stuck their necks out. You want us to unify? Sacrifice your weakest. Throw Schumer and Durbin to the wolves in the name of unity and we can talk.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

"save your anger for 2026" wait you think I'll run out in a year this is why I hate amateurs

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day! Don’t forget to smash your clocks!

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy. "I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

A deal suggests both sides get something. This was not a deal, it was a complete surrender.

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.

NOW YOU'RE JUST SOME BODIES THAT I USED TO KNOW

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THE SHUTDOWN @schumer.senate.gov A "PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE" MEANS THAT PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE

Yeah it seems like the best political move is to give into this guy

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I hope you find what you're looking for. I also hope you someday own a haunted cottage that floats through mossy forests under starlit skies, spreading fear and wonder in equal measure.

Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

'Feed the hungry' is one of the basic, fundamental, direct-order-from-Jesus, tenets of being a Christian, and it's not 'feed the hungry when it's politically expedient to do so or advances your wider agenda'. You'd think the party full of people claiming to be guided by their faith would be on this

The 30 Rock episode with “how do you do, fellow kids?” is closer to the release of Windows 98 than it is to today.
