ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

There ARE no AI tools, at least not that I've ever heard ANY colleague using. There is no genAI for animation. Or rigging. Or modelling. Or building things in the editor. I suppose you could use it to help program or write but it doesn't do a great job and isn't all that impressive.

The place where ships go to rot into nonexistence.

Can't decide whether I'm more jealous of insects, who have their skeleton on the outside and get to see it all the time, or of octopuses, who have no skeleton and are free of the hegemony of the rigid.

You don’t really see many sweaters for octopuses. I bet it’s because of the difficulty in knitting the sleeves just right and also because octopuses are usually found underwater and a lot of sweaters are dry clean only

Sometimes, I want to throw my phone in the river, but there is no river here, so I just keep playing on my phone. The river will come.

I bet squirrels would fucking love cargo pants. All those pockets

I don't think it would be possible to overstate Blake's influence on the DNA revolution in criminal justice and the exonerations that followed. He genuinely changed the world for the better. Rest in peace. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/s...

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

BREAKING: Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.” More billionaires bending the knee.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

"CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss" is the exact same deal as "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth"

Griffith was found guilty of failure to disperse and fined $50. That's unconstitutional -- even the DOJ recognizes journalists' right to cover how law enforcement disperses protesters. But it also shows what a giant waste of taxpayer funds it is to prosecute journalists for doing their jobs.

And, just as importantly, that they would do the same for mosques, churches, temples, gurdwaras, or any other places of worship were they to be similarly threatened. Something about the UK to be genuinely proud of, that the overwhelming majority of us help to build & maintain, despite everything.

Stephen Miller wants his own personal civil war

“I have been hanging around the demonstration that the president wants to crush. What I’ve found is an atmosphere that is more like a carnival than combat.” The great @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social goes to Portland, after Trump claims it’s a war zone.

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry. ko-fi.com/kimimi

I understand that Trump and his people run on vibes, not strategy, but it's worth pointing out that blowing random boats out of the Caribbean is much less effective than defeating drug rings within the United States. Our very own citizens run them.

Hey I know! Let’s give the mob free rein to sell drugs!

“These are rules that are going to cause an enormous amount of hardship for millions of people,” said Will Fischer at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. “It’s going to cause people to become homeless, kids to be pulled out of their schools.” By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

Is it incompetence, crime, or just a lie? Thaaaaaaaat's Trump™! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah, Harris would definitely be expelling every trans service member, eliminating protections left & right, & very publicly trying to find away to declare every trans individual a terrorist. Things a person with a closed head-wound would say.

Answer on the latter question about deportations; no, I don't think so. The AEA requires: 1. "An invasion or predatory incursion against the United States" that is; 2. "By a foreign nation or government." In the Tren de Aragua case, they argued that TdA was a de facto arm of the Venezuelan gov.

Abolish ICE.

It’s very hard to leave an abusive marriage if your church is going to reject you for it, which means you lose access to their social services like free childcare.

It's among the reasons some folks hate tax-supported social services. They can't discriminate with them. They'd rather their voluntary-- so they can pat themselves on the back further-- tithes fund this kind of control. Like abusive spouses eith the household checkbook.

PSA: if you ever need a meal and can't afford one and don't want to jump through these hoops, fund a gurdwara. They are obligated to feed you for free with no strings attached

The Trump Admin fired the Director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library over his refusal to provide an artifact from the Library’s collection as a gift for King Charles. What the everloving fuck. open.substack.com/pub/lastcamp...

Never say 'The last time I checked' if you have never, ever checked.

Ending Black History Month & banning books by Ta-Nehisi Coates is a dark echo of the ways the military has been used in the past to advance racial rights in America. Frederick Douglass understood Black military service could help achieve citizenship. Truman saw integration as democratic necessity.

Gang, I'm pleased to tell you there's a solution to this shit: an MP3 player.

your imaginary friend who uses too much electricity is now also annoying

Richard Tice has made up a fake quote from the PM to claim he incited violence against his political opponents. It was not sufficiently challenged in the Sky News interview that he did not say it, because the interviewer didn't have the text. Ofcom should rule uk.news.yahoo.com/no-keir-star...

Perfect

well well well

What on earth are all the UK lawyers doing? A short explainer and a job offer /1

I love this. The purest essence of Kemi - incredibly wrong, bizarrely belligerent about it, and also wrong in a way where you just go “have you considered reading anything other than your Twitter feed?”

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? KILMAR: "they're sending him to Uganda" TRUMP: "we're sending him to Uganda" JUDGE: "you haven't proven that they're going to send you to Uganda"

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Polearms are gonna make a comeback for robot hunting, this thing is in glaive danger

You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups. Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat. www.linkedin.com/posts/benjam...

This probably sounds minor to many of you but closing the commissaries will....not be taken lightly by the US all-volunteer standing military. The PX is everything (literally, as it's not just groceries!)

You can absolutely guarantee that the white-supremacist, Christian-nationalist extreme right will not be expected to give an iota of respect for dissenting views in this context.

The Compact says "Signatories commit... to transforming or abolishing institutional units that purposefully punish, belittle, and even spark violence against conservative ideas." What does this mean for units teaching evolution, history, or climate change? www.washingtonexaminer.com/wp-content/u...
