As angry as I am about the events of today, I wish I could say I’m surprised. But US police have been murdering black and brown people point-blank for as long as they’ve been here. Citizens took to the streets about it en masse in 2020 and not a damn near thing has ever changed. Why would it now?

Make it viral.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

I think I know how to dip a toe back into content creation and fight back against the horrors at the same time. Stay tuned friends

Jaxis & the Boys

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

I have no words for the tangled nightmare that is the state of America right now. Any attempt to make sense of it ends in incoherent screaming, either within or without. What the hell are we supposed to do in the face of such insanity

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

It is a mystery.

we must, and i cannot overstate this enough shoot computer

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

'Twas Komasnacht Eve And the forest was thrumming With whispers that Koma Just wouldn't be coming... "He died when the sky broke, Before the Tree burned. Phyrexia took him: He won't be returned."

myr-ry christmas. he WILL deliver the presents on time.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

"This story doesn't need a sandworm" This is almost always wrong. Arguably, EVERY story benefits from adding a huge subterranean worm with quasi-mystical or semi-supernatural powers, or equivalent (similar to Moby Dick). Obviously the bigger the worm, the more literary quality it adds.

There is no ethical use of AI because the continued existence of the AI industry is directly harmful to (alongside everyone else) the interests of everyone whose labour makes books exist—writers of fiction & nonfiction, illustrators, translators, researchers, editors, everyone.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

reminder:

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Bring this energy with you int 2026 (yes this is a threat)

y'all on here really gotta learn how to repost the supportive shit too

Trans rights are human rights and it's not negotiable, you fucks

Reagan funded and armed death squads, left Americans to die during the AIDS crisis, destroyed the economic tools that built the 20th century, his allies committed treason in 1980 (at the bare minimum, above that Reagan might have been involved) and pioneered "own the libs" politics.

He'll start a war to: 1. Distract from the Epstein Files 2. Steal oil 3. Justify emergency powers 4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment 5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

One of these days I should write a character study on Oko as a malignant narcissist. But I don't really want to, because I can't stand Oko or other malignant narcissists.

People are worried about Trump not leaving office in 2029 but they should be more worried about the Supreme Court enabling perpetual Republican rule by overturning what remains of the Voting Rights Act and campaign finance laws. SCOTUS has those cases this term.

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers. Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people." No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this. bsky.app/profile/jazz...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

First four commander decks! I started with a literal pile of RUG cards (it wasn't called Temur yet), but Kemba and Kresh were my first proper builds. Jhoira, meanwhile, started my running tradition of building decks online I never actually play.

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/04/a...

these people aren’t “visionaries” they’re drunken blackjack players with a self-replenishing pile of chips and a bunch of sycophantic dopes saying shit like “splitting 10s is genius sir”

This is so true, i beg you, ask me about my hyper-fixation, aka, the two idiots that live in my head and make bad, but narratively interesting decisions

Imagine your country being seen as a hope for a new life for thousands of people wanting to live and contribute in your towns and instead of being proud of it you go no nope nope this country should be a scary shitheap people should be scared to come here how dare they think we are good

The US's legacy in Latin America is written on stolen wealth & inked in blood. The seemingly approaching invasion of Venezuela must be opposed by any means - a pointless war for oil & to precipitate a further dictatorial shift for this corrupt pedophile regime.

I am so damn sick of the state of this country and the world right now. Can we all just fucking treat each other with respect and decency like goddamn human beings? Have we ever fucking tried?

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
