ICE has conducted raids a few blocks from my house in Berwyn twice in the last week, kidnapping people each time. I am furious by day, and mourning for my neighbors and nation each night.

NOPE

It’s funny but also sad to watch the latest and final Downton Abbey movie, which is almost nauseatingly saccharine, and then watch the first season, in which Lady Mary, her mother and Anna carry the corpse of a Turkish diplomat through the house in the dead of night. Another show that lost its edge.

When you read about the Nazis it's shocking how much of what they did was just rank gangsterism in terms of both motive and method. As a practical matter the Night of the Long Knives is indistinguishable from the baptism/massacre montage in The Godfather. "Today I settled all Party business."

I’ve only been watching period costume dramas, to the point that someone approached me at a party to express concern.

Batman: Dark Patterns 12 preview pages. The final issue. The Great Fire of Gotham burns. @cleanlined.bsky.social @treecolour.bsky.social @gofrankgo.bsky.social @garbagedracula.bsky.social @dc.com

David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross's Oscar-winning score, turned 15 years old this fall. Here's some of my artwork for the album, created by manually corrupting images from the film by editing their raw hex data in a text editor, damaging them from the inside. 1/

Dems already tired of winning.

What he means is that without the filibuster, they could theoretically pass voting legislation that would guarantee Republican “victories.” This connects to what Bannon said earlier; they are fearful of what may happen if they don’t coup d'état ASAP. No constitution, no SCOTUS to check them either.

Daft Punk and the Fortnite people made something pretty cool. youtu.be/ZbbTmR6Xaag?...

Finally found the ICE video that I fully could not watch and it was the man having the seizure while they pulled a child from his arms. Countries are fake, borders are fake, nothing can justify this inhumanity. It’s all just for the abstract comfort of withering country clubbers and their pawns.

Using an image of a famous immigrant to recruit people to work for ICE, perhaps one of the most famous/successsful immigrants of our lifetime, is some Dumb-Fuck Hall of Fame type shit.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Just a week late.

When he says “do it” he means fascism. Not just abstract fascism but very specific overthrow of all constitutional barriers to totalitarian government. It’s very specific and very clear. The alternative, he says here, is they’re all going to prison and there will never be another chance.

I love this photo. Trump is surrounded constantly by no-name imbeciles desperate to leech off his historic megacrime. Like his voters, he needs them but loathes them. And now one of them steals his PR stunt in the most pathetic and embarrassing way possible. It’s all on his face right there.

“The Commission finds that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza,”

Posting again just to underline the fact that the X algorithm is VERY CLEARLY DESIGNED to feed far right material to new users… It is straight up a propaganda tool and decent people need to LEAVE it.

We’re bringing back right-wing cope like nobody’s ever seen. The best cope, beautiful cope, more than anyone thought was possible, many people are saying that

Because of the anti-Christian violence. “We cannot allow this to happen to innocent people who cannot defend themselves,” unlike the innocent people in etc etc etc

Notoriously blue states, like Georgia and Mississippi. Will those costal elites ever support the G.O.P.?

It is hard to describe the epistemic harm punditry has done—having a vocal class of “experts” who don’t care about getting things right is a terrible thing

Now 70 years ago @__@

What ceasefire??? The IDF is still mass-murdering Palestinians and razing what remains of Gaza

Dick Cheney must have thought “A Muslim mayor of New York City? Over my dead body!” And he was right.

This kid just summed up what it’s like to be an American lately.

This has become comically absurd. Does Ogles think mayor is the job of stopping planes falling out of the sky, and that Mamdani is gonna just wave terrorists in with those glow stick thingies you see at airports?

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

oh shit did that guy Dick Cheney shot in the face finally come back and get him?

The nasty saleswoman who wouldn’t help Vivian in “Pretty Woman” has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Wow it sure gets dark early these days huh?

For those who don’t know, this is the magnificent cover art for the “Bizarre Love Triangle” single by New Order, 1986.

Jesus christ

These games have given me literally decades of enjoyment.

According to the statement, the displays had to be submitted and approved, and the Auschwitz element was not part of the approved design. So some shitheads thought they were being cute by sneaking it in. Doubtlessly the parents, seems unlikely grade school kids would do it on their own. Disgusting.

Not THE ONION.

I mean, look at this amazing Kevin Nowlan cover on our book. I couldn’t be more honored. Pre-order by Monday!

I think Bowie said this is one of the best tracks of the 20th century. Somehow it makes its way into every mood playlist I make; always seems to fit and I never get sick of it. youtu.be/Qd7HbsQFHxs?...

Occasionally my favorite Saint Etienne song. Definitely my favorite Saint Etienne video, simply because it’s the one with the most Sarah. youtu.be/SzgwtLm-2AU?...

I’ve been working on a complete chronology of Vince Clarke and heard this for the first time the other day. Definitely in the Clarke style, you can imagine Moyet or Bell singing this one, which anticipated some of the electronic approximations of “classical” sounds heard on later Erasure ballads.

Just over $900 to go with 8 days left! Now is the time to back this campaign and receive an incredible, @ringoawards.bsky.social nominated comic from @anasabdulhak.bsky.social and @dennismenheere.bsky.social !

Do English people still put up houseguests for weeks and months at a time like in all the Regency costume dramas?
