worst forest/trees problem in generations is that a canto is A SECTION OF A LONG POEM. THAT'S IT. YOU DIDN'T WRITE A CANTO BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THE WORD LOOKED COOL ON YOUR MEMOIR. CANTOS ARE POEMS. THAT LANGUAGE IS DYNAMIC DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SLAMBOOK A CANTO AMERICAN OR OTHERWISE

Statement from Te Ohu Rata o Aotearoa (Māori Medical Practitioners Association) expressing its condemnation of the banning of puberty blockers by the NZ government.

HAPPY THINGSGIVING, Y’ALL!

publishing your greatest professional and ethical failures in a series of paywalled blog posts is certainly a choice.

Did Kash Patel just jump his dumb babbling ass in front of a man who was already speaking? I was trying to fish things out of the word salad and wasn't looking.

LOL the Foundry choosing to frame sponcon about Nuke 17 as "flirting," "first date," and "getting to know her" is... a choice. A weird, sexist choice! But a choice they went for.

Telling people to touch grass, constantly going off on how much he hates AI, getting swept up in poly drama... Truly he is the Poster's Pope

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother

go wish the sewer district happy holidays

this is not our customer service number. it’s just my voicemail inbox. you’re welcome to call. i hope you do. 216-361-6772.

I expect nothing less from the brilliant @amalelmohtar.com, but this is gorgeous and heartbreaking in every way. You all should read it. Free Palestine.

After Biden commuted the sentences of 37 men on federal death row last year, the Trump administration is retaliating by sending them to the supermax. Prisoners are locked in cells smaller than a parking space 22-24 hours a day. One prisoner told me he fears he won't make it out alive. My latest:

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity. Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Isaac Chotiner just dropping down on people like a Kate Bush song. "he's in the trees! he's coming! --SO WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD--"

I hate having to keep spamming this. However, with how sick I’ve gotten since July, zero traction on job apps/SSDI app, and now no SNAP, I need the help. I’m almost covered for the month! ko-fi.com/summersuzuki... #MutualAid

any time i see someone interacting with chatgpt

This setting appears to be in the bsky appview, instead of on your PDS; I'm on the Blacksky PDS and I also had to turn the alt text reminder back on (I'm using bsky.app for appview purposes until the Blacksky one is up and ready).

Having seen the PWS2 patch announcement, where it continues to not let you rebind keys and maybe doesn't log messages for you to reread, I now just want some kind of "we spoke to 16 devs at FuturLab" article. What is happening in there.

Open Mike Eagle doing a great "you should think about the potential uses of the services you build" testimonial today here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5Fz...

The number of men hopefully interacting with a chipper patriotic young American lady with an AI-generated profile photo and lots of love to give who turns out to be based in, like, Belarus .... extraordinary

looking for a few more people!!!

In an internal document I obtained, Avelo’s head of flight ops said they had to bank a lot of cash this quarter, may be seeing that with this NWSL charter. He also indicated the ICE flights haven’t been as profitable as they’d hoped, and they may not make it through the first quarter of 2026.

Terumaru, a bright young lightbulb and the mascot of the Tokyu Denki electric company, trapped in a door yesterday:

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast. This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

“Give TSA VPL for the holidays” my new slogan. you got the baggy leggings? your underwear game not right? get in the airframe, Shinji.

DJT just wants to hit you like he did Don Junior for not wearing a suit. To the *airport.*

hell yeah Aonishiki

It's been a month since PWS2 came out, and I'm still just boggled at shipping a game that actually doesn't let you see most of the narrative unless you're locked onto the side of the screen during every wash. The narrative is what lets you decide to ignore QoL deficits! Why!

just gotta say, even Martha Stewart was trustworthy enough that the other ladies taught her to defeat hers

UwU

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

this is how you lose the dish war

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

I'm definitely of an age where "your hearing aid vendor went back to the sane, normal, mid-2010s wax trap system from the demonic hell item that you were suffering with previously; here, have four boxes of the regular ones on us" is the most exciting thing that's happened in a month.

Seriously, if you have access to ProQuest, you can read how the "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" dude helped cure AIDS www.proquest.com/docview/2071...

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

The Elf on the Shelf company has a whole "-verse" right now. One, the douchebags are calling it "The Santaverse," which is a complete dis on Rankin/Bass. Two, I don't care how much of a monsterfucker you are or how cute Grunt is, don't fuck that Snitch in a Ditch's friends:

"I don't think RFK Jr. has ever met an animal he'd keep alive long enough to do that to someone else" is a sentence I had to invent today.

ryan lizza is asking you to decide if you’re normal sick or willing to pay for this shit sick

L.A.'s alt-right extremists are doubling down on their “WHITE MAN FIGHT BACK!" fliers, neo-Nazi tattoos, and white power band tees. The full story: lataco.com/highland-par... By Nik Venet

It’s not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community. This is what he does to change the subject. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

I love that in all these pictures Zohran essentially becomes a Zohran Mamdani cardboard cutout, and Trump looks like he's best friends with it.

Or Chappell Roan style: Pink medicine I'm gonna keep on drinking this gross Pink medicine

I had to do a four-hour oral Bactrim challenge in my allergist's office today and, well, now you're all stuck singing "your love/ is like/ PIIIIINK MEDICINE/ pink medicine is what I need/ whoa-oh/ shake it up/ just like PIIIIINK MEDICINE"

House votes on dumbass resolution condemning socialism, meanwhile the DSA's Lisan al-Gaib rolls the truculent child brain president like a pair of socks
