Where has this been all my life?!

No more Gavin Newsom. We have transcended the need for Gavin Newsom.

FYI: “There won’t be elections” and “There might be elections but they’ll just deny the results so it won’t count” IS VOTER SUPPRESSION LANGUAGE. You say this, YOU are participating in discouraging people from voting. You are part of the problem.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Wyrd Games took a while to ship my Black Friday order so they gave me a Waldo (their little demon mascot) keychain. It's cute and neat and very unexpected. Guess I'd better buy super glue and some brushes and paints to do up my Malifaux cyberpunk minis.

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.

"Sharp abridgment of speech, free exercise, and assembly; unreasonable searches and seizures; an appalling lack of due process; and a complete disregard for states’ rights and the rights of the people. "

If you are a conservative posting images of Starfleet Academy appearing too "woke" next to what you think are images or messages from the "conservative" Star Trek TOS or TNG, you're the reason Star Trek needs to be the way it is now. Because you don't understand metaphor or parable.

It is fascinating how Trump can "negotiate" for over a year with multiple countries and get nowhere, but two world leaders who AREN'T corrupt wannabe-kings spending all their time threatening their allies with invasion can sit down and hash out actual trade agreements like adults.

Golly, weird stuff happens when you move from a cloistered and ideologically-driven backwater into a larger pond where people fucking hate you and you're a clod and a goof and fumbling goober.

We deserve a world of pickle cars, not this. We all must show up until there are gold bugs of liberation in the street. Brilliant, by @rubenbolling.bsky.social

Now I'm no big city white shoe political analyst here or anything but this one very weird super problematic Dem doing something is, according to bsky interaction metrics, bonkers popular if idk any other Dems on this website are into being, like, liked maybe they could try this, too

I had a car that was older than ICE. We got rid of it. Life went on.

FEELIN' PRETTY NOW OR NEVER TO ME

Cancelled and they did ask me if it was about ICE and I said yes. Not the hugest traveler but I used Hilton often. Every person who calls, no matter how small their hotels counts. They will be having panicked meetings this week if the trickle turns into a flood.

If ICE and genocide and grift and tyranny weren’t enough, this alone should have fire running down every street in America. This isn’t the way to live. We do not have to live this way.

Rioters are EATING the plums that were in the icebox which ICE agents were PROBABLY SAVING FOR BREAKFAST

Rioters are painting TUNNELS on ROCK WALLS right in front of ICE agents in order to make agents CRUMPLE THEIR NOSES AGAINST THEM

ffs I trim my Toph deck down. I must cut 8 cards. Forgot to include Lumra and Samut. I must cut 10 cards. I go looking in my Kamigawa box to see if I have Yoshimaru. I find 10 more cards that would work well with Toph. I must cut 20 cards Hey @wozzlebugmtg.bsky.social can I borrow your dog?

On the one hand, I REALLY need to go to bed. On the other OMG MEWT IS SO ADORABLE RIGHT NOW LOOKAT HER GANG! Zero idea how this is comfortable but cats are gonna cat I guess.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

"What if she was right? What if I was someone else? Someone beautiful and powerful? Buried alive and suffocating to death on the other side of a television screen?" Felt appropriate that I was working on these tonight. There’s still time. There’s always time.

Just found out that my last remaining favourite restaurant in Toronto is closing its doors. My other faves closed either just before I left town (Real Thailand at Bloor and Spadina, Sneaky Dee's on Bathurst) or shortiy after (Ema-Tei on St. Patrick just north of Queen). Time marches on.

If you are a trans woman and you are feeling abandoned by this news, i am still right here. I am not going anywhere in this community. Birds might have no transfemme leadership, but transfemmes in Magic still have me.

Choose your fighter

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

What AI companies want me to believe: That I need AI to help build creative vision What I actually did today: Sketched out an action scene (poorly) with stick figures so I wouldn't forget how to describe it. I cannot draw. Like...at all. Literal cave men drew better than me. Who cares?!

This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube. In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson. www.studioheartbreak.com www.catsuka.com/news/2023-05...

“I will be blind for life. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, plastic in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.” Kaden Rummler was shot in the face by Trump’s ICE goons, then dragged

Would you like some hopecore in these dark times? Have a little cozy story that ends with a photo that looks gross but is actually really cool from a micro-ecological perspective

I thought I understood what cops were, I thought I hated the systems of power, and then I watched a cop knock an 80 year old guy to the ground and rear back ready to start beating him with a bike. Some things you have to learn in person. Sometimes, you just have to feel it.

It’s worth noting that the children’s mother is not deterred. In fact, she’s activated. Of course she is. She had to perform CPR on her INFANT. These monstrous displays of violence aren’t going to be the show of force they hoped would cow the people impacted.

I was thinking about that 1980s James Bond movie where everybody's trying to get their hands on a Fabergé egg for some reason And then I realized: It's an Egg McGuffin.

For trans ppl who have received a letter/visit from the FBI (THREAD). Step 1. Call the National Lawyers' Guild federal defense hotline: www.nlg.org/nlg-announce... 2. DO NOT publicly talk about it or share the letter until you do (1), and understand the potential consequences 3. Spread the word!

Minneapolis is headed towards something resembling a general strike, if you were wondering how the campaign to cow working people into quiescence is going

The Insurrection Act is not "martial law." It doesn't displace civilian law, it doesn't suspend habeas corpus, it doesn't alter or suspend state and local government, and it doesn't make anything newly illegal. It allows using the military to enforce existing law, it doesn't change what the law is.

JUST IN: New ACLU class action lawsuit in Minnesota seeks to bar ICE from stopping Latino and Somali residents without probable cause. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Being a good Christian must be measured in deeds, not symbols.

the average minnesota politician is like "have you no decency mr trump sir, i am so mad, i will send out a fundraising email that says f*ck" the average normie minnesotan is like "this is stalingrad this bakhmut all your children will die in the ice"

There is no sorrowing.

What none of you seem to comprehend is that while you’re all arguing about stupid shit online, I am running THOUSANDS of complex calculations in my head, and ALL of them are wrong as hell.
