True Detective s2 may have been a steaming trash pile but at least we all have Stan to live on in our memories, which is ironic because we’re still trying to remember who the fuck Stan was

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

Just a heads up with all the Christmas markets and fairs on at the moment - if you see art or art-based pieces for sale, ask who the artist is, because the amount of people deceptively slapping "made locally" on pieces locally farted out by their computer and a genAI prompt is getting depressing

the hardest part of writing politically charged fiction is that a good villain needs to be complex, cool and about as right as the protagonist; while evil people in real life are lame, cruel, childish morons motivated by greed or not wanting to look at minorities

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid. A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? The Mighty Nein? Well, despite the fact that their most recent episode was literally about failing to rescue a kidnapping victim, I feel good. Praise the Traveler!

Suggestion for new piece of public library information desk equipment: a big red button like the Staples button, except instead of THAT WAS EASY it says THAT WAS RACIST. To be pushed when patrons say racist things to or about staff. Which happens a lot.

The code is not complicated. Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children. Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power. This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

For the sake of argument, let’s put a debate about the ethics of pirating aside. Here’s the thing about supply & demand: if more people are torrenting something, that creates a higher demand. It has to be sourced from the original sales point, which grows higher with streams Read another book

Casey is spot on here. I accept that some people are fully squeamish of blood and injury on a psychological level, that's fine, but talking about the people who are always like 'oh gore is just cheap and tacky in horror' and they usually mean Hostel, and what they've heard about the Saw movies.
