When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

If we survive, one of the top priorities needs to be making sure shit like this never happens again

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER IT IS WORKING CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF CONTINUE TO WRITE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO CREATE COOL SHIT AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

This is insane. INSANE. Without any legal basis at all, this memo says ICE doesn't need a warrant (or probable cause) to break into someone's home to arrest them. It's like a memo that says, "Actually, you DON'T have the right to remain silent."

I just want to remind everyone out there that rest is an actual thing you do and when you do it you aren’t doing “nothing,” you’re doing something essential to your health and wellbeing and also essential if you want to do *anything else.*

NEW from me: DOGE is officially the largest one-year cut in the federal workforce since the end of WWII, with 279k jobs lost—though it didn't come close to its supposed goal of reducing the deficit & cut some of the federal government's most effective programs 🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/the-econom...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

so I am reading this old 1980 D&D module and it goes "AREA 47: the owner of this operation, Kadish, is a blatant (as opposed to latent) homosexual, that should give you a good idea as to how he will act towards a party of men" and actually I support kadish in all his endeavours

Smh inflation is getting bad I remember when these were only two or three quindecillion bucks each.

I love it when my friends tell me about their OCs and lore. "Look, I made a guy. This is why he can't ever find peace. Here's his dick"

it's fun and good to put clothes on a dog

Some thumbnail sketches I've mostly been drawing in my physical sketchbook lately. I'm a bit shy showing that off since it's literally just scratchy doodles and me trying to learn things. #ashantiart

Doodling Tripp with goofy new hairstyles cuz Im bored of drawing him with the same hair for 2 years. Im leaning toward option number 1 or 2, but 3 and 4 seem very Scifi lol.

for fucking decades i've had to listen to right wingers jerk off to their fantasies of masked federal agents turning their guns on innocent Americans and then the moment it actually happens they're sniveling boot-licking scum

DnD had a big combat set up last week where I as a wizard got to precast a shit load of buffs on myself... so naturally when we couldn't finish the whole thing in one go, now I have to hold onto this sticky note all week so I remember what buffs I have. Here's Kieran wearing the sticky note lmao.

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

Expressing affection can be challenging sometimes, but it's always appreciated. 💖 💛

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Gonna break in the new year and post old pieces I wasn't going to post due to rp context but screw it: funny Roark has opinions on how Galar handles fossils. -------Roark is not allowed in Galar until further notice. #pokemon / #roark / #cranidos

America's actions have made me upset, and my DnD character is gonna be fighting a big battle tonight against some liches... sooooo the mood was relevant both in and out of character. Heres a redraw of the "Captain, its Wednesday" Tintin comic meme featuring Captain Kieran Dorn and James.

Not the gentlest gym buddy.. The wonderful Vatia, for @kanzensun.bsky.social <3

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.
