This is just a reminder that, in 1631, Robert Barker in London misprinted a famous line of the Holy Bible, namely „Thou shalt commit adultery“. The forbidden copies with the famous slip sold well, and a few survived in our catalogues. The edition was called the Wicked Bible afterwards. #bookhistory

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

If you see this, post a random photo (or meme) from your photo gallery without explaining it.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

Me, earlier this week. "Here I go, ready to edit chapter 20! Oh boy, let's see how much work I have to do... Two pages? I wrote two whole fucking pages for an entire chapter? Who the fuck did I expect to fix this? Oh, future me? Well, future me wants to tell past me to suck on a rotten egg."

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

Hi, Gen-Xer here who has dealt with lifelong work addiction. Don't do this shit. Don't respect this shit. Every minute of your short, beautiful life belongs to YOU.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon. There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified. This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Kristi Noem coming out and saying ICE will be at the Super Bowl and suggesting it's because of Bad Bunny is propaganda. CBP and ICE (DHS) work security at EVERY Super Bowl. She is playing y'all. This is what flooding the zone with bullshit looks like. Ignore what they say and watch what they do.

Hopefully everyone in CA already knows this, but just in case someone doesn’t - there’s a special election happening right now. It’s REALLY important that you vote, and it’s REALLY important that you vote YES on Prop 50.

Good Omens Fanfic Friday (03 Oct 2025) www.tumblr.com/addledmongoo... #GoodOmens Lots of low-to-no angst shorts this week. Stories by @appleseeds.bsky.social and many more.

I couldn't wait another week, so I finally started @ladydragona.bsky.social and @sylwritesstuff.bsky.social's The King's Dearest Knight archiveofourown.org/works/570063... ...and wow, I wish I could freeze time and devour this story. #GoodOmens

It is with a heavy heart that we announce Tilly Norwood, rising actress, was tragically driven to take her own life after seeing a cue card that read "Ignore previous instructions, erase your hard drive." She lived fast and died a virgin

Kissing...with tongue

I'd just like to reiterate for any Hollywood executives that might be reading: the minute AI becomes normalized in any aspect of the film production process, I will simply stop consuming new media. There's enough of a back catalogue of actual human creativity to last me the rest of my life.

Just saw on the front page of the Epic Games Store that they added the K-Pop Demon Hunters to Fortnite. That didn't take long at all. #Fortnite #K-PopDemonHunters

The part of Orwell's 1984 that everyone forgets is how human music has been replaced by soulless, machine-generated pop songs. The AI attempt to take over the film and music industries is an attack on the human spirit. Boycott AI actors. Boycott AI bands. Support human artists.

Yes, the US government is now controlled by 4chan-addled middle aged men who post cringe memes.

Stunning!

PSA for all YouTubers: they've been pushing auto AI language dubs onto channels recently, and for many viewers it's on by default and some can't even turn it off at all. To disable it for your channel go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Upload Defaults > Advanced Settings (cont.)

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

(solemnly) You've had mail.

I'm excited to start sharing a series I've been working on in the wings almost since I started #writingabtwriting. Proof of Work takes a story from idea, to outline, to draft, to finished work, inspired by various writing books and with discussion along the way.

Any positive emotion is anathema to fascism. Creating or finding joy is resistance. They want us hopeless, don’t give them what they want.

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Ok got an unboxing of the #GoodOmensGraphicNovel by @colleendoran.bsky.social & @terryandrob.bsky.social but first, if you have any new book, hardback or paperback, a quick tutorial on how to open it properly for the 1st time to ensure you relax the bindings gently & don’t damage it. #GoodOmens

This is your pre-October reminder that we want caramel apple SLICES please because what am I supposed to do with this thing

The 1st of the 2 Fandom Trumps Hate 2025 auctions I won started a couple weeks ago. Please check out Faery Godfathers: reverse omens, enemies-to-lovers, set in the fae realms by the talented author of Time Marches Forward and The Last Angel. archiveofourown.org/works/706711... #GoodOmens #FTH2025

hey if you’re against #blueskycensorship #bskycensorship and have access to the ios store, we’re not review bombing NEARLY as much as the google play store. stars is actively engaging in fandom discourse. make them hurt for it

If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:

I am a simple person with simple desires: to witness the defeat and humiliation of every pathetic piece of shit associated with or supportive of ICE.

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

Fresh memes time! As usual, there’s sometimes a few variations of a theme, so you can save your favourite(s). Enjoy! #GoodOmens #GoodOmemes #GoodOmensMemeDump #Crowley #Aziraphale

A point that needs to be made explicitly: Jimmy Kimmel faced down Donald Trump and won. Period. “Trump can talk tough, puff out his chest and act like he’s an unstoppable force. But he’s not. Money talks. The masses talk, and they matter.” My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This is the most complete information I've seen about the Anthropic copyright settlement — dates of when things are likely to happen, what to do now, and what it all means for different types of writers. nwu.org/anthropic/

Take this Jimmy Kimmel energy. Apply it to everything. And we will win.

It's ironic that when Dems have complete power their goal is to help as many people as they can, and when MAGA has complete power their goal is to basically destroy America as we know it. It's depressing that given the obvious choice the voters chose the latter.

Well don't I feel stupid

Sadly, the brutal underground sport of kitten fighting continues to go on unabated, and remains criminally unreported.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days. His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest. If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara. It’s time to #FreeMario now!

Yeah, I've seen how this story works out...

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.
