According to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social in tonight's Status, Paramount's purchase of The Free Press is imminent and will be announced in the next few days, with Bari Weiss being named the editor in chief of CBS News. www.status.news/p/washington...

this is the speech you make before dumping Joker powder into the reservoir

Judge Young writes at length about ICE agents wearing masks, for which the agency admitted at trial there's no policy—and a practice he finds "dishonorable." He compares the practice to the masked terror of the Klu Klux Klan, which @sifill.bsky.social has written about.

October 2014. Yes, that's half the fairing from a Babybel.

portland update: this just crossed the street in front of me holding a bright yellow sign that said WELCOME TO HELL

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

look I took a seminar on Kubrick in film school and even I wasn't given the math to calculate the RPMs he is generating in his grave rn

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

today I learned that @surasshu.com has this massive blocklist for youtube channels that hock bullshit AI generated music, if you're like me and enjoy vapourwave you know it's a fuckin minefield out there so this helps TREMENDOUSLY surasshu.com/blocklist-fo...

More inspiration for you: Peggy Weil’s LIPSYNC from 1981. Peggy’s not just one of the operators on The Exquisite Telethon — she’s a media art pioneer! pweilstudio.com/project/lips...

(dear @blippo.plus: "what if Spinnaker's Facemaker faces had been integrated to SAM and then used to teach space vocab" is a trip)

Guy who got elected by Democrats: why don't the Democrats elect someone to fix this?

‘Gaza Trump Riviera’, ‘MBS Ring’, ‘Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone’? It’s an oligarch’s blood-soaked fantasy, a Disney Land of genocide.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

NEW: 161 artists and animators for DreamWorks Animation are unionziing with @iatse.bsky.social.

dude not beating the "got the hand of Vecna" rap even with the statue running cover

🎶 Take a look, it's in a book 🎶 🥹 After nearly 20 years... Reading Rainbow is returning to motivate, help, and encourage kids to become avid readers with new episodes, new friends, new projects, and of course... new books! Make sure to follow the rainbow 📚🌈 #FollowTheRainbow

I really do hope the phrase “Kavanaugh Stop” or “Kavanaugh Encounter” sticks.

The one pro-ICE guy they found to interview downtown today being a suburbs-based casino marketer and erotica convention entrepreneur named Larry Goone might be the thing that tips me over into We're Living In A Bad Fic territory

Alien, 1979. (Directed by Ridley Scott)

Best city in the United States, baby

50 masked bastards rolling through downtown on a beautiful Sunday to snatch a handful of street vendors

Newsom fans, especially in CA: time to show your guy the way forward! (also non-fans but I know YOU’VE got this…)

I also drew The Mekon a few years ago, apparently a version that's been getting his reps in

I don't think we've had a new DAN DARE series in a while. We really ought to get on that — a MASTER AND COMMANDER meets MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM type joint maybe, could be a vibe

this is what zuck should've been for halloween

Seven people were just released, greeted with cheers and hugs. @peoplesfabric.com is free.

Fun fact: Mike Pondsmith, creator of the Cyberpunk ttrpg, was a MechWarrior called Steel in MechCommander 2.

The war zone at the Portland ICE facility.

I’ve known Steve for several years — he’s dug up a lot of stories of great importance to Chicago about a variety of topics, including CPD and now ICE. Journalism is not a crime

45 minutes ago at the Broadview, IL, ICE facility. (Video is about 30 min.) I am posting this to give us all hope. Everywhere in this country people, ordinary people just like you, are resisting the secret police who are vanishing people. Folks just like you. www.youtube.com/live/MWTa5r9...

How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”

This is why Chicago always wins.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

Revisited this spectacular Kaleb Horton paragraph about crows this morning. "I have met crows that should be in jail" is one of those sentences that's so good you're initially furious you didn't write it yourself before circling back around to just being glad you got to read it.

I picked up Blippo+ last night and this is my highest possible praise: it's for every kid who got up on cold winter days in their footy pajamas, scuffled across the rug, and zapped the cable box with static just to feel something.

30 House Democrats sign a letter led by Jake Auchincloss criticizing countries for recognizing Palestine The letter also praised the Arab League’s recent statement which calls on Hamas to disarm, while not realizing the statement was part of French-Saudi push for recognizing Palestinian statehood.

It is funny for sure. The reason for the difference is that the closer analogy here is between Columbia's board and ABC's executives, who responded similarly. Kimmel is more like Columbia faculty who have resisted their bosses' capitulation. The recurring pattern is: management cowers, labor fights.

President Donald Trump has dispatched federal agents to Portland, local elected officials said in a hastily scheduled press conference on Friday night

Crabs 🦀 #art

Lucy Dacus invited Zohran Mamdani out at her All Things Go NYC set!

i made a helpful reference

"If the federal government didn't come here to lend a hand, then take a hike," Mayor Keith Wilson said at a press conference Friday as quoted in the oregonian www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

New month, same goal! I know things are tight for all of us, the last two months have been shoe string for me. Anything (donations, sales, commissions, RPs) helps! #art #skyart ☠️🐓 ko-fi.com/summersuzuki...

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Teachers: A "tremendous advocate for students, families, staff, and the community" School board: An "integral part of our school community" ICE trash: "Should be a wake-up call ... How this illegal alien was hired ... is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district"
