I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

🧵🔥🔥🔥 (and abolish ICE)

Until like 10 years ago, this is exactly the kind of thing that we (the United States) would use as an excuse to call for regime change in some hellhole dictatorship on the other side of the world. "Unaccountable secret police loyal to the regime have shot and killed unarmed human rights observers."

Hell yes, shut it all down. Call your representatives and tell them to actually do the only thing they can to halt this madness.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

Sen. Tina Smith reported that ICE agents shot a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. According to initial reports, the woman has died from her injuries.

What I remember about 1/6 was shock that such a small group was allowed to run wild Yes, small. I've been to demos 10 to 50 times larger in DC, always controlled by phalanxes of police/pens/wagons everywhere. On 1/6 large sections of the police let them maraud the capitol and we never talk about it.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Daredevil #283 (August 1990)

Days after his third dementia screening in six months the president of the United States, who is an open pedophile, abducts a foreign head of state

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

What is the plural of syllabus? At the end of an ancient papyrus or parchment scroll would sometimes be a hanging tag called a σιττύβα that was later misread as σίλλυβος (sillybos). This tag transmitted the title or author of the work. Thus the true neo-Greek plural should be sillyboi, which is fun.

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

In the last half of 2025, the President of OpenAI donated $25 million to the SuperPAC MAGA, Inc — the single largest contributor

how can we exist in a world ran by people who don’t think this shit is a problem

If Dems were smart (the dream!), they had a clear lane to stand for getting shit done and against political violence. Instead we all know the name Erika Kirk while 95% of the country doesn't even know who Melissa Hortman was or how they were hunted down. Just another episode of the show.

What you're telling me you don't crochet a perfect herringbone swatch then pick up random stitches really loosely along one side using blunt 4" machine screws?

A message for you all to carry through the year

one last time, for the road

In 2026, let us all remember that Elon Musk is not a genius, but a guy who got lucky on PayPal even though his colleagues at the time openly mocked him, then got giant loans from the government that saved Tesla, then killed 600,000 people by gutting USAID, and now gets high on ketamine a lot

Remembering how 2025 started, which was just way too on the nose for what it was.

If my landlord puts a rabid raccoon into my home and doesn’t let me get rid of it, that’s not the same as me adopting it

I think the juxtaposition of the frog and the lawsuits is itself so key. it’s a multi-pronged approach. we all do what we can do in our own little corner. churches and businesses are organizing to fight the ICE grabs that are still happening. protesters are still out. the whole city said no

It's that time again. It will be hard to let go. From Lucille Clifton's book, How to Carry Water: bit.ly/howtocarrywa... #poem #booksky #writing

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

A Roman terracotta lamp with Victory holding a shield inscribed with a wish for a happy and prosperous new year. Around her are representations of things that were usually given as gifts to celebrate the New Year: money (here three coins), and dried fruit (dates and figs). 🥳 🏺 1/ #MetMuseum 📸 me

it’s cool how this guy can say with his whole chest he doesn’t think I should be able to vote but if *I* say what I think should happen to him….

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

Enshittification of an already overhyped app is on its way. I wish universities understood how corrupted these tools are from the jump.

Overmorrow is great, and I will endeavor to use it. Language is ours and we can do what we want to with it, including returning great but neglected words to regular use.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.

Saw Bluesky described as where elder millennials go to retire from the internet, and immediately felt the peace that passes all understanding wash over me. None of have to struggle any longer. We completed our time.

"Never tried therapy before but this is probably it?" 9 words summarising the attitude of Big Tech to all things of which they have no knowledge or experience - with GenAI, they can do [thing] without [thing] experts or even educating themselves on [thing]. My eyes rolled a grand total of 720° 🙄

None of this is responsible. None of this is ethical. And--importantly--none of this is actually competitive. Do not believe anyone who tells you that AI schlock marketing is what will win you an advantage. That person does not care if you sell books; they want to sell you AI schlock marketing.

The entire thesis here is "hey, do you realize how many people could choose to not use labor from human beings if they instead used the extruded meat product trained on labor from those same human beings?"

Republics are already unusual, rare, beautiful things, historically speaking. A republic composed of some small sliver of every country, people, language and culture is an even more wondrous, special thing. And to have it have succeeded so remarkably. To betray that...I have no words.

They had contempt for Biden because they believed he had values; they have respect for Trump because they know he doesn't. Mentality of whipped dogs.

The guy who put a 19 year old named Big Balls in charge of gutting key government services: “experience matters when lives are at stake”

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

its really just that simple, theres an entire network of well-funded morons that can turn “litter boxes in classrooms” into a giant campaign issue whereas “armed goons sending kindergarten teachers to slave labor camps” gets ignored

"Chomsky can no longer offer apologies or consolation to the survivors. But that does not relieve us of the responsibility to do so, part of which is acknowledging that someone who had such a huge impact on so many of us made such profoundly disturbing moral choices."
