you say "i asked chatgpt" i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]" an improv group wrote this report instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off. Leave your comment here: eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-... morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

the video game industry is a mess

we need to accelerate our bullying

They should add chase dogs to all skiing and running events. Marathons would hit different if you were outrunning a pack.

But people filament! We will make SO MANY WHISTLES. SO MANY WHISTLES

In 1943, musician Woody Guthrie placed a message on his guitar: "This machine kills fascists." I am part of a group that's shipped half a million free 3D-printed whistles to defend against ICE — 200,000 of them in the first week of February alone. This is the story of the "Whistle Crew."

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

Already reposted the quoted post but just started cracking up all over again because I can’t believe we saw a wholesome example of this exact format in the wild

alright, here's the story of how I bought David Lynch's dinner plates:

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

when your public moment of vulnerability undergoes memetic semantic degradation

Hey! It's Black History Month! When you support VIDEO GAME OF THE YEAR you not only support me, a Black author, but also all the other fantastic Black writers who contributed essays to the book. Check it out!

yeah seems like a good choice!

Chicagoans please vote for Not Scalia, thanks

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Me every morning in this fucking country

Chicago! Come on by DePaul University for DePaul Zine Fest on Saturday from 12:30-6:00pm. I'll be tabling with a whole bunch of new zines.

With rent coming due on Sunday, and still no eviction moratorium in Minnesota (BOOO), today is a good day to donate to any of the rent funds or crowdfunding campaigns for rent support listed here: www.standwithminnesota.com

We call on folks nationwide to shut down business as usual until ICE terror ends. With the looming vote on ICE funding, only keeping up the pressure can force Democrats to vote down funding for ICE. Join us: dsausa.us/ice-actions1...

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

"Abolish ICE" was submitted 9,200 times for Chicago's snowplow naming contest, records show. buff.ly/ZH1qaAO

“We are a Minneapolis 2nd grade Brownie Troop of 12 including trans and neurodiverse youth and 75% BIPOC kids. We want to go to summer camp and try horseback riding! During the current ICE occupation we need your support more than ever...” And that’s how I ordered 4 boxes of thin mints.

Photojournalist @colinbphoto.bsky.social and other journalists will be speaking about their experiences covering the ICE surge in Chicago at The Hideout tonight. 📍The Hideout, 1354 W Wabansia 📅 Wednesday, Jan. 28, 6-7PM More info and tickets: blockclubchi.co/3Z5piRq

where do human adults buy pants these days

GENERAL STRIKE U.S. 3.5% NATIONAL SHUTDOWN JAN 30, 2026 ABOLISH ICE NO WORK. NO SCHOOL. NO SPENDING. General Strike U.S. linktr.ee/generalstrikeus

A National Nurses' Strike for the justice of Alex Pretti, this Friday the 30th.

The "ban whistles" stuff is how you know whistles are working incredibly well

I am opening my animal crossing island to visitors, and I don’t care if we haven’t talked in six years. I don’t care if you hate me or you think i hate you or what the hell ever. Come to the island of blood and play pretend with me. I will bribe you with star fragments the end

FIVE DAYS REMAIN! Have you submitted YOUR story proposal for our next anthology, yet? You have until February 1st!!!

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

our empathy for each other enrages and terrifies them because they can't understand it.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

If anything, it’s worse that you’re using it for shit you can easily do yourselves and not seeing any productivity gains for. You’re helping train mass surveillance tools so you can generate a harder to find Lorem Ipsum? For THAT? Fuck you.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

There's truly art to creating placeholder text. When I'm working with Quest Designers who stub dialogue, there's a huge difference between the ones who try to write their own dialogue, the ones who write nothing (forcing me to chase them down for context) and the ones that understand the assignment.

[extremely boss voice] everyone at the company is more or less ok with this

Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

This is is why we look at mean, MEDIAN, and MODE, kids. If I am in a group of 10 in which 1 person has $1b and the other 9 of us have $0, on average we all have $100m, and yet I still cannot buy groceries.

holy shit

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.
