Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I, Scott Moore , endorse this message.

No, seriously: listening is not enough. These folks only listen to respond, not to learn, not to understand. They are interested in hearing from others only insofar as it allows them to push back and promote their position.

"Keep the faith?!" In institutions?! The ones being hollowed out but the mob thug *you* helped into office? The temerity of putting your whole ass thumb on the scale and then telling *us* to vote.

You may not have known her, but you may have know of her. Consider a thought, a kind word for her. Her best friend is hosting her hospice in her home to surround her with friends and laughter.

Putting this in my back pocket for my CoC game this week where, indeed, I am in a city of madness and am about to confront the guy who wrote the diary. Is it a bad idea to neg an occultist who has already mind-fucked 2/3rds of the party? Asking for a friend.

ugh! Fuck those ladies. This makes me think of the 1994 short film "Schwarzfahrer". If you haven’t had a chance to see it, I recommend it. For those who might miss the double entendres, a Schwarzfahrer, “black rider” in English, is someone who rides public transit without a ticket.

I love a good culture jamming. This is great.

Great thread putting What Disney in context within his time and ours.

Honestly,this is the only feedback I want from the internet this weekend.

Looking forward to hosting sister tonight. - chicken ravioli with yellow tomato marinara - simple green beans with onions, red peppers and a dash of seasoning - roasted garlic. bread optional - bottle of wine her daughter gave her as a bday present - Big Night (1996). She’s not seen it yet.

Quick PSA for California. Don’t sleep on the special election Nov 4. Out here in the Central Valley, the GOP is leveraging the murder of Charlie Kirk to expand and mobilize their base among young voters. Vigils, parades, and picnics are scheduled for this weekend playing up the victimization.

Never forget how much faster things would become public domain if it weren’t for Disney. Never forget how it treats its laundry workers. Never forget how it insisted on being the government of a bit of Florida. Disney is not going to meaningfully stand up to the powers that be because it’s one.

Evergreen PSA, folks!

Something I can be excited for in this world of piss!

Yes! And check to see if a large city in your state offers free cards to residents. Also, if you have the money, you can often pay a fee for out of state library cards. Get cards from as many libraries as you can! More selection and more availability.

This does not mean that there aren't brave individuals [there are]. It means that most people aren't brave individually and that's why there's strength in numbers.

Let the red flags fly! God Awful Movies (and every other PIAT show) Central Valley Daily You’re Dead To Me There Are No Girls on the Internet The Thrilling Adventure Hour (but only Beyond Belief and Sparks Nevada)

I had a less than happy experience tonight and this made me feel better. Thank you, Dr. Flowers!

If only Disney had some Kind of commentary on authoritarian strong men...

molon labe, I guess molon labe, if you insist molon, like, labe Not a comment on Eliza and the choice she faces or makes. The nonchalance tickled my brain.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

the problem that still hasn’t been addressed from day one is that the people who most need the protection that affords are the ones with the least resources to make it happen

It gets confusing when we start deviating from this. They do not understand how you can say Charlie Kirk was bad, but also that it was bad to murder him. If he was bad, you must have *wanted* him to be murdered, because bad things are supposed to happen to bad people!

There is not one path to fascism and dictatorship. There are many. I'm begging you to learn about any history of fascism beyond Germany, and even if not willing to do that, to at least try and understand and analyze the current political moment more through its immediate USIAN conetxt

This kumbayah shit is gonna get people killed. You can’t meet violence with non violence. You can’t hold your hands out of violence. You can’t plea for relief. Nepal is doing what we could and should be doing. The difference? Their collectivist culture over individualistic culture.

If your child is having trouble at school... Here are some thoughts a resources from someone who fostered an online forum for parents of kids with learning disabilities, 2001-2008 I am NOT an expert on child education, reading to learning difficulties. 🧵1/17

I am addressing the TikTok, not Dr. Coghill. My heart goes out to the family. Many people grow up just not having books in the home. Also, middle school can be an inflection point if the daughter has a learning disability. BUT fuck Bush, charter schools, and vouchers. 🧵 1/13

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

coming out against them. He knew and he saw and he chose to now be against trans people. He doesn't lack education, he lacks morals and is making the conscious decision to refuse the correct path and is even breaking with what was dem norms on trans rights to do so. If he wins Dem nom, we will lose.

Celebrated Navajo (Diné) artist Marilou Schultz recently completed a striking weaving. Although this rug may appear abstract, it is a representation of the wiring inside an integrated circuit. It shows the 555 timer, said at one point to be the world's most popular IC. Let's take a closer look...

Passion of Christ 2: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

Where @billj.bsky.social reminds everyone that online communities have purpose and anyone working on them are well advised to keep that top of mind. It's about time to get back to some of our first principles.

Slept in a Johnny Cash shirt and woke up with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.

It is fascism yet? Or still just sparkling authoritarianism.

Thanks for reminding me to file my claim.

If Newsom vetoing a farm workers protection bill isn’t enough. If Newsom signing legislation attacking unhoused isn’t enough. If Newsom having a photo op destroying property isn’t enough. If Newsom attacking trans people isn’t enough. If Newsom buddying up to fascist isn’t enough. What is?

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

35 second horror story. Make up your own ending! Phenomena happening outside my motel room. Will I survive the night?

Exhibit # 9482 of why jubilee is a psy op funded by the CIA

Good example of why GenAI is “good enough”statistical machine and not a true language machine. Fort SumNer is in New Mexico Fort SumTer is in South Carolina

@radiofreetom.bsky.social and the Third Way can pound sand for all I care. The idea of rejecting an idea simply because it came from academia is the definition of anti-intellectualism. Now if only someone had written a book warning that, I dunno, 8 or so years ago.

I can vouch that this is a good, fun read.

I don't think Julie has found her audience. In this climate, you'd think that would happen REALFAST. A queer icon from history kicking ass in a historic fantasy novel? Are you fucking kidding me??? This book sold out IMMEDIATELY at Midsummer Scream. bookshop.org/p/books/brim...

Jezzus hapaloid christ tap dancing on a biscuit! Get a grip white people. Instead of blaming ‘woke’ like a bunch of barking trained seals try putting the blame where it belongs—the rich assholes in private equity fucking businesses. Reskeet me for the insults. Follow me for the class solidarity.
