They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

The way MAGA voters have isolated themselves into a media echo chamber is truly astonishing. I suspect religious childhood indoctrination is a root cause, as it effectively disables natural skepticism at an early age, and prevents development of epistemology. www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2...

They kidnapped the head of a Latin American country, replaced him with an insecure white racist who has spent his entire life arguing that Latinos are subhuman, and made clear that their primary aim is to plunder the country for its resources. If it isn't yet clear, yes, we're the fucking baddies.

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.

This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc) #1: Reuters

Another! This one isn’t anything fancy, but I think that’s part of why I love it. youtu.be/LT3cERVRoQo?...

So many good ones here, but these two obvious choices made me actually lose my breath. Couldn't stop watching them in amazement over and over. They still hold up as beautiful and innovative works of art. A-Ha, Take on Me (1985). m.youtube.com/watch?v=djV1...

Hard to say, but didn't see this gem below.

What the chicken fried fuck is going on here

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

Completed an alphabet challenge this year! And I even liked most of the books! 😅

Artists: May your best way of being honest with yourself reflect in your work. May there be a huge jump in your sales, propelling you into the new year like a rocket. May your every creative self-challenge increase our supply of cool. May you rock/jam/fire shit up accordingly. Peace & be well.

There's still time to register for ConFusion at the prereg rate (2026.confusionsf.org/registration/) and get your hotel room in the convention hotel block to ensure you are near your 400 closest friends! These deals end at the stroke of midnight, December 31, 2025, so time is of the essence.

Fellow Authors, I’ll make you a book cover for very little money (or maybe even free) if it’ll keep you from using generative AI. Here are some covers I made that are available for very cheap right now.

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

Hey I know this is probably obvious but super duper don't use AI marketing tools to attempt to sell or pitch books, are you out of your mind? They're *books.* you sell them to people who *read.* have some respect for their ability to spot slop.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

If you're interested in a decent search engine experience with zero AI to clutter your results, allow me to recommend this: udm14.com - It's literally a cheat code for google without all the garbage.

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

We're planning to let a lot of people die and then blame someone else for it. We don't know who yet, probably someone I don't like.
