Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

The Amber Spyglass has meant a lot of things to me over the last 25 years, but it feels especially poignant in the age of autocrats and AI

All of our public institutions are being dismantled so a handful of filthy rich capitalists and can eek out a few more years of short-term profits by selling off the parts.

RIP to a real one 😢

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Got lectured all morning by my coworkers about my ear (make a doctor's appointment, go to the ER!), meanwhile my angel husband found me a pharmacy 5 minutes away from us that does ear cleanings 🥲

Haven't been able to hear on my right side since Tuesday, tried to see if any ENTs were available. The only thing I found was a private clinic that would cost $385. Is this just how Americans live 24/7?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

You alright man? I keep seeing small damage numbers coming off you

Baby's first big girl computer

Quebec: Assemblée Nationale petition against loi 2, which will make healthcare worse and force doctor's office to close. Clinics are mostly funded by doctors themselves, so if you cut their pay as deeply as planned, there's nowhere for that ops money to come from. www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/exprimez-...

The fact that Netflix could afford to buy warner brothers means they could've afforded to let us share passwords.

Favourite books read this year, published this year: ⭐The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow ⭐ We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad ⭐ The Witch Roads by Kate Elliott

What if Cindy Lou Who was a grink the whole time, like Fiona is an ogre in Shrek

Birthday Grink

I wish every humble husband a wily wife 🙏

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Man, I have got to find some new music to like next year

John Cena. A legend. And I got to see Logan Paul punch him in the nuts.

Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings. Ok, but is it one bell per angel? If you keep ringing the same bell, does the angel just keep sprouting new pairs of wings? Is this how we got biblically accurate angels.

Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, Amnesty International says

"Do you have any books about da convicted spies, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?" What year is it, what's happening

Me: All I want is a sci fi game that isn't just capitalism & colonialism in space. KO_OP:

"So Katy, how's married life so far?"

Damn, Philip Pullman was out here writing about gay angels in the year 2000, we stan a legend

Two girls just tried to drive-by convert me, do I not look like an unapproachable heathen anymore? 😢

Unfortunately I still can't get over how weirdly they paced Defying Gravity 😔

"I'm gonna be a menace and watch Wicked," is a real thing I said to my husband just now

I feel like someone should make phonics books aimed at teens and adults so they can at least try to acquire good skills without having to read books for small children

this is breaking my brain as a teacher but also as a comics artist

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends (Lyra, Iorek Byrnison, Lee Scoresby, etc)

This entire piece is very, very good and well worth your time to read — but this bit had me rolling lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Using the gifts from the 12 days of Christmas to bring joy to your community? My heart was so full after reading this, highly recommend

“His tone was especially unbecoming for an immigrant” is a stunningly fucked-up thing to think, let alone put out into the world. It’s nasty work, even by the Post’s standards

Apple music discover, a one-act play: "Wow, this song is such a bop and I don't recognize the band. Let's see what else they have." The song is from 2005. The band hasn't released an album since 2010. Fin.

Had to share this from twitter just because

Looking at the NYC election, looking at the Montreal election 🫠 Our voter turnout was less than 40%, lmao. Anyway, congratulations to Zohran 🥳🥳🥳

Having played Pokémon Z-A all day, I'm pleasantly surprised by how charming it is

Whoa Black Betty, panda lamp

Unfortunately, if the STM cancels service, I will just walk extra out of spite

Normalize this reaction #art #artists

Outside, it's pouring rain. Your only co-worker just went to piss. An overly chatty customer calls and won't shut up. UPS shows up with a shipment of 30 boxes, all drenched, and can't deliver them at the loading dock because it's blocked by ten dumpsters. No one will help you. Happy Halloween 🎃

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

It's time 😌

If I have to listen to one more screaming baby or one more francophone whispering wetly I'm going to fucking lose it

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

Crazy that The Dark Crystal is a tight 1h30m and not the five hours that it is in my memory
