Lmao they stopped believing in anything not IP they forgot to screw people over

Well, that aged phenomenally.

This is the attitude we need from every single one of our billionaires and CEOs as long as we must endure their existence

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/03/1...

Honored to review my dear friend @jordanharper.bsky.social’s upcoming novel “A Violent Masterpiece” for Poisoned Pen. Pre-order it today, & watch my buddy Patrick & me interview Jordan live online on April 29 at 5pm PST. More details at poisonedpen.com.

The most cynical part of me thinks this story will get more Americans to wake up about the evils of ICE in the same way that you can murder as many humans in a crime novel but killing a pet is unconscionable

each one dumber than a box of broken crayons

remember when they insisted that kids' capabilities would be harmed if everybody wore masks, and handwrung about "learning loss" and forced them back to school, but we just let COVID rip to permanently damage their cognitive capabilities, and then unleashed AI/LLMs in schools to finish the job?

that dude is still alive wtf

Seven-word death punch

NGL, I'm captivated by these new shirts at temu

A reminder. Every person in camo and guns patrolling in American cities are voluntarily there. No one is forcing them. They signed up for it, signed a contract and knew exactly what they were getting into. They are not good people.

What's crazy is the media is responsible for making Musk influential in the first place and giving him the power/cash to buy Twitter and now they all swim in his dookie pool and tell everyone it's the town square. If we know Musk is stupid, what does that say about the people who put him there?

Ah, I see the 4D chess is still going. financialpost.com/commodities/...

“New Jersey becomes the 10th state with a law barring local ICE contracts. An attorney general had already imposed restrictions on how sheriffs and police can assist ICE, but advocates wanted those codified into law. Mikie Sherrill signed the bill this week." boltsmag.org/new-jersey-i...

When you see the whole 'should kids learn cursive' bullshit rise up again knowing in your bones there's racist fuckery afoot.

what baffles me about Ko-Fi's AI stance is that they clearly know it's a problem, for like-- everyone. they don't even allow you to post slop in their discord because it gets too messy too fast. anyway, please do not punish real artists/financially kneecap yourself over this. send feedback

Down to *10*!

I'm not about to pretend to be surprised. Latinx communities need to have a LONG conversation about who they think will support them because trying to cozy up to the bastards will never work.

Elon Musk’s X Corp brought the lawsuit against a group of advertisers in 2024.

So, a reason I keep sharing alterna-reads to HP is bc I'm not talking to superfan adults, I'm talking to parents/teachers/librarians who are making book purchasing choices for kids -- I really think it's a needed step in killing the cyclical support this series gets

Good stuff from @nkolakowski.bsky.social today. nickkolakowski.substack.com/p/the-key-to...

Collapse faster AI industry. Come on. Lowtax speedrun.

I sort of love that nobody on my feeds has shared the trailer that must not be named (even to dunk on it) and that I haven't seen it linked at any of my usual online haunts. Good shit.

A key question ahead of tomorrow’s hearing in Atlanta: Will the FBI agent who swore out the affidavit supporting the warrant be compelled to testify? We’re awaiting an order from Judge Boulee on that question. Stay tuned!

We won't give up anything on the BDS list for Palestine, and we won't boycott Harry Potter for trans people, and we won't boycott Target or Starbucks, and we won't stop eating at Chick-fil-A, and we won't stop buying new iPhones for the Congo, and then we wonder why fascism is winning.

Come for the Star Wars talk, stay for glimpses of my very fashionable Jaime Love & Rockets tee.

Ahh yes, nothing says “let kids be kids” like “using fancy calligraphy to sign checks.” Why, I remember when I signed my first check at the age of 8, using a fountain pen made of whale femur and ink from a Humboldt squid

I am 99% sure that the B&N pre-order sale also applies to my upcoming cursed film novel THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT In 1994, three girls go to the movies. Only one comes out. 30 years later, she learns the movie isn't done with her 📽️ www.barnesandnoble.com/w/this-movie...

Guess who voted against this?

milton mayer’s They Thought They Were Free manages to actually do what all those NYT ‘we visited a bar full of unemployed racist hogs to learn more about trumpism’ stories pretend they’re doing

Oh, this looks gorgeous.

how would we say culture is going

But how long will the rest of us have to wait for them to cut this shit out

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended
