Ryan over on @theweeklyscroll.com and I were talking about how some folks promote themselves like cheap door-to-door salesmen. As someone trained in branding, there's another way that's more rewarding and more fun. The approach I'm trying to get better at👇 www.explorersdesign.com/how-to-promo...

The fact that the tattoo is the issue people keep bringing up and not the working for Blackwater as a mercenary part is giving me flashbacks to a few months ago when using a signal chat was what bothered liberals and not the fact that the US blew up an entire apartment building full of civilians

RFK Jr not being made to leave will continue to agitate me.

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod. And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop. This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

The ikeitans are hard to depict because they’re elaborate bioships with fancy biosynthetic design patterns. They’ve been in an ongoing centuries long war in prospect space because they don’t want the dozinists to awaken god.

Apologies for sliding into this conversation, but there's also a really good video essay by @jessiegender.bsky.social that just dropped the other day about the current state of SNW, and how...deeply disappointing it is (in her opinion, my opinion, and that of many others) beware: long, but worth it.

I always have such complicated feelings when I spend a forever struggling on a video essay script when suddenly another essayist releases an amazing video basically going over the exact thing… anyways @slimemildred.bsky.social just made a great video & you should watch it. youtu.be/fqqwwS9Kvy8?...

Fascism and liberalism are symbiotic. Fascism does the killing and purging to reassert the cultural white supremacist status quo; liberalism arrives as the heroes to “restore order,” handing power back to capital and paving the way for the techno-oligarch future.

I remember when so many nerds were begging for serialization, but maybe we should go back to the long overarching story mixed with standalone episodes format. I mean, sometimes you gotta take a break from your intergalactic war to play baseball with some jerk Vulcans.

Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability. www.wheresyoured.at/costs/

vented to my mother for 30 minutes about my utter disdain for US work culture and the tech industry making our lives Worse™️ on purpose and how much I dread having to get another job. in this house we loathe capitalism with every fiber of our being

Totally insane. Then Trump government spiked its ongoing investigations of MS13 in order to cut a deal with a Bukele, a co-conspirator of MS13, to hold and torture American migrants. The GOP is fully pro-crime

Unemployment Again Ughahahhhh

My new album "Displacements" has just been released at Bandcamp. It's predominantly #ambient with hints of #glitch whatsisname.bandcamp.com/album/displa...

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Before blocking please also consider a small act of resistance that doesn't require feeding any trolls. Every small act of citizenship slows down the propaganda apparatus.

I identify as a dark void that sometimes will dress pretty. Accretion disk go spinny.

Being against fascism is not a fandom you get to gatekeep. Jessica, as is *often* the case, is absolutely right here. Your Sekrit Fandom didn't go mainstream and get overrun with normies. You successfully built a movement. Now, work with the people you have.

This is where we need to go. We need to reject performative irony that fuels giving up or Right Wing radicalization and move past seeing ourselves as products and brands that need curated and marketed.

It occurred to me while working on my walkable VR galactic atlas that many people will be completely unfamiliar with galactic structures like the Orion-Eridanus bubble or the Ophiuchus dust cloud. So I thought that I'd add a solar system map so people could start with something more familiar.

i've been spiraling about "what is the point of learning" lately so i wrote a blog about it defector.com/learning-is-...

This is yet another reminder that the "you can just walk around with your papers and be fine!" is a lie: the cops routinely claim whatever documentation you provide is invalid It's racism all the way down

Learning is more than just collecting facts: defector.com/learning-is-...

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

They do assemble it like that and keep at doing that The barrier of trouble that is trying to figure out a way to introduce a setting maybe is wrongheaded and that is why it is a creative blocker Maybe I need to check what show pilots did more or something

The hateful symbol was spotted during a virtual meeting inside Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

"You act like not using AI makes you superior to me!" Yes i do. I very much do consider myself superior in skill and creativity than you will ever be.
