This is a very well written description of the mostly unexamined drive I feel to make and share my art. The more anti-culture gets pushed at me the more compelled I feel to make my own

Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement. Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

FINALLY had a chance to sit down and watch the new MUPPET SHOW and LOVED it. Some random thoughts and first impressions: First, it only took about three seconds before I got teary, welling up in the opening theme as the characters recreated the original shot for shot. Got me right in the feels.

Thank you @chuckwendig.bsky.social for Gentle Writing Advice. I needed to be reminded that I love writing more than I dread rejection -- and that there are ways to deal with the latter without breaking into pieces. Now, I can pick up the quill again with my mind at peace.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Boooo

In honor of DHS spokesliar Tricia McLaughlin's resignation, let's revisit how her husband's company won a $220 million no-bid contract to run a stupid propaganda campaign featuring her boss, Kristi Noem, bashing immigrants while sitting on a horse in front of Mt. Rushmore.

you have to be super unfamiliar with working out to stage your fake shot with you wearing jeans

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

ATTENTION BLUESKY you don't want to watch the State of the Union next week you want to watch a PowerPoint party telethon of your favorite Bluesky super posters delivering their most unhinged hot takes to raise money for mutual aid in Twin Cities and Portland Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

this seems mask off in a particularly weird way, even by the dismal standards of our present political era

I think so much is happening at once Trump looting America like a vulture capitalist isn’t really going to sink in until he’s gone and we’re cataloguing the damage to see what can be saved.

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

I wish boardgames got the same backlash for using AI art in final products that Larian Studios and Expedition 33 did for just using it in pre production Awaken Realms (whose CEO also owns Gamefound) openly admits to it and still raised >$15 MILLION on crowdfunding this year

Dems should be hammering this stuff the way the Right did with Solyndra. I want to hear Doodie Calls on the floor of the House.

Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.

Oh this is nice to hear

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Countries that do not use Fritos as currency could be "left behind," says Frito-Lay CEO Ken Biddleman

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

I'm not saying I did this with Sir Mewlington Von Pissbreath, who is a very real cat I definitely own

2026 basically

Holy forking shirtballs, this looks bonkers. Sign me the heck up!

New game about seeing how well you can recreate colours from memory (plus sassy little messages) dialed.gg

I just finished reading The Staircase in the Woods by @chuckwendig.bsky.social and it went places I never excepted to go and pulled me along for the ride 🥹 A modern Losers Club tale filled with its own sense of uniqueness and overcoming the depths of despair ♥️ Bravo, good sir, Bravo!

SCOOP: Ring’s controversial, AI-powered “Search Party” feature isn’t intended to be limited only to dogs, the company’s founder, Jamie Siminoff, told Ring employees in an internal email obtained by 404 Media.

NEW: When North Carolina's GOP wanted to pass a bill last year to require that local governments comply with ICE, they were one vote down. A Democratic lawmaker gave that decisive vote—as she has on other GOP bills. Now, she faces a primary challenge from a progressive activist... in 14 days.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Wishing everyone who observes a lovely Ash Wednesday

Good morning. For everyone who wants to get a better gander at the cover of our new album, The World Is To Dig, here you go. The painting is A View of Yosemite Valley after Mary Park Seavey Bolton, circa 1855. Song titles included! Arrives April 14.

Trump is very underwater on immigration. There is no reason for Dems to cave on ICE funding. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Lmao this is at like 5 million views rn AKA double the average viewership of Late Night

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Preorder yours! Only a couple of months to release for DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/804064... #books #kidlit #horror #fantasy

Hell yeah! Now let's impeach RFK Jr., because I'm tired of tax money going to his weird little obsessions (shirtless sizzle reels with deranged clowns, hanging around roadkill burn pits, become the human avatar of E. coli via dark necromancy).

In 56 days, THESE FAMILIAR WALLS comes out! If you like dual timelines, ghosts, 90s nostalgia, dread, complicated and messy characters, coming-of-age stories, and unsettling mirror activity, you'll dig this book. Add it on goodreads: tinyurl.com/3jkvwhf5 Pre-order here: tinyurl.com/vd9xf3nr

Every Writer in the World:
