IT AIN'T GOING YOUR WAY!

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week. Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities. Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The future of work is changing. And we have to evolve with it or fall behind. That's why we're proud to introduce: Serfdom dot AI. Our platform allows SERFs (solo entrepreneur revenue facilitators) to rent affordable housing that they can subsidize by picking up work with Baron, our AI assistant

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I generally get a cold 1-2 times a year. so the fact that I got one in december, recovered, and immediately got another in january is some real technicality bullshit

just increasingly obvious that everything online Dems got excited about in casting Newsom as a “fighter” was simply the skilled efforts of a comms team who knows exactly what online Dems will fall for, while the man himself has a spine made of absolute tapioca pudding

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school. Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

Bluesky will verify ICE but Palestinians in Gaza have to create three accounts a day just to be able to post their fundraisers

Hey there Delilah What's it like in Roku City?

😥

Plese repost & share: "The risks of using generative artificial intelligence to educate children and teens currently overshadow the benefits, according to a new study by the Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education." www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Respectfully, to the people saying abolition is wrong because we need to incarcerate ICE ghouls, I disagree. ICE proves why Abolition is necessary, because any armed paramilitary force will eventually turn into what ICE is now. We know this because so many police departments already did.

quick tier list of the comics I remember being in my newspaper growing up

why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon

asking why the police aren't protecting people from ICE is like asking why uruk-hai aren't protecting the hobbits from orcs

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

my brilliant brother plays way more video games than even I do and therefore has Better Opinions about them, and he's a kickass writer. plus I completely agree with his GOTY for all the reasons so eloquently put here. a wonderful read

thrilled to say i dunno who this particular man is but ive found in general that people who talk like this in public tend to be people who are like incapable of doing their laundry on their own

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

was about to post about how I stopped watching stranger things after s2 but now that it's over, taking bets on how long till they announce a spinoff. bc everything successful now has a spinoff, a pre/sequel, an enshittification by never letting it end. decided to do a little research first, and oop-

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

RIP 2025 2025-2025

I don't normally go for engagement bait like this but I'm reading The Song of Achilles rn, so my job is now Be Patroclus. so, fall in love with Achilles and follow him to sack Troy knowing the war is prophesied to be the cause of both his death and his eternal glory? should look good on the CV

excellent late xmas gift from the hubby that I think will really help me start 2026 off right

it’s unsettling how many USians seem to think CECOT is unlike that prison your uncle works at in Colorado or Virginia or California or Alabama… humiliation, deprivation, isolation, sexual violence…constant torture inflicted on people who both have & have not committed harm—that’s…prison.

‘But it’s my idea!!!’ the point is to ask the experts what would make the game terrific and then go towards that not to ask the law of averages what is the average of all games

The core of any piece of art is about what a human wants to say to another human about the experience of being alive; if you are asking a predictive text machine about that there is literally no point in anyone making what was spat out because ML doesn’t want to say anything specifically

When presented with the stupid unoriginal lore ideas equivalent to JKR raiding Worst Witch and Dahl fairytales but machine made the team will still have to actually fix it, make it fun, and grapple with the fact at the core of it the idea was stale, stolen & synthetic

haven't played E33 yet, but losing its Indie GOTY for AI usage during dev is 100% deserved in the same way the shitfest Larian is going through is deserved. it's not about how or how much they used it, there's a slippery slope here that warrants drawing a hard line. www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur...

grown adults in charge of people's lives frequently sounding like when ur in 2nd grade and a classmate w diabetes has to go to the nurse to get a snack and another one of ur classmates is like "um. how come *I* don't get to go to the nurse to get a snack 🤨" except it's like. 50 yr old men.

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

The Epstein Files, everybody!

I also say this with only affection in my heart: I've only been teaching college for about 6 years, but I'm starting to believe that even if I do this for the rest of my life, the sheer mind-blowing Audacity of some students will be a constant factor yet will always find new ways to be surprising

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

useless useless useless useless wastes of time money and skin

Weapons, mistyped as Wounds below, would be in my top three. Weapons has perfect execution in using an unusual structure. But what sealed it for me is how it remained serious despite also deploying dark humor, and how that humor allowed the most shocking scene to be both horrifying and absurdist.

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

Larian defending itself saying nothing genAI is in their games, it's used for "exploration" & concept art... how do they not understand that is still a reliquishing of creativity, an abandonment of originality, a disdain for intention. the feeling of betrayal is justified and the outrage is deserved

Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes" But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger" Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

however many trillions spent on developing Algorithms and hoovering up as much data as possible and amazon's recommendation algorithm still goes "oh you bought one window air conditioner? okay, do you want 15 more?"

it is genuinely tragic to me seeing people not able to be outside and enjoy crisp cold months with snow everywhere. i get the opposite of seasonal depression this time of year

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.
