If you are not impressed by the picture of a Black Hole, clearly you do not understand the gravity of the situation…

In frankly horrific news today, at 12.50pm, Pacific Standard Time, it will be the 20th anniversary exactly of the first ever tweet. Yup. Twenty fucking years. Still, it did later give us one of the world’s great headlines...

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

Cup of Tea?

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

... of that last half-century, upstream of virtually any other problem that you can identify, and yet in mainsteam political discourse we *never talk about it*. It's the biggest, most salient political fact of all, just sitting there, looming, and no one fucking speaks it aloud.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Buzzing

I wasn't recording it because I wasn't expecting anything to happen, so I'm afraid you'll just have to believe me when I say my two-slice toaster just popped my toast out into the air and then caught it in the other slice slot.

Sigourney Weaver tells Kate Hudson to keep away Grogu at the Oscars. “Get away from him, you bitch!”

My horror novel CRAWLSPACE is out from @tornightfire.bsky.social on Tuesday March 17! @marcguggenheim.bsky.social calls it "The best mix of science-fiction and horror since Michael Crichton’s Sphere." Preorder links and an exclusive extract here! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

Damn, so many to choose from. The whole soundscape is fantastic.

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price electricity water clean air knowledge you name it they should be treated like the common thieves they are

Good one. 🐈‍⬛

what the fuck is going on in Sam Altman’s head

Never underestimate my desire at any given moment to go home.

"But even my daughters, ages six and nine, weren’t captivated as long as I’d hoped. Though they loved building the sets and trying each little computerized interaction in turn, they rarely came back for more. When I asked them if I should return the sets, they told me to go for it."

US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!” US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world. We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book. We’ve not even had the vote 100 years. Let’s not let thing backslide. Happy International Women’s Day, one and all.

Sharkduck!

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies. I defy anyone to justify this.

*sigh*

This show man. Jesus.

We’re just innocent men

I lied. Then lied about lying... Erm... Sorry, I guess.

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Timeline clense

Well, today Lego released their Star Wars Smart Play range and I haven't heard a word from anyone in the LAN. Not a single review, not a link to an affiliate page, not a mention. Not a single thing about Smart Play or Smart Bricks. Nothing. Nobody is talking about it. At all. This is bizarre.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
