On the same exact day that the FBI opened a child sex trafficking case against Epstein in 2018, he ordered half a dozen 55-gallon containers full of sulfuric acid to his private island. Another coincidence, I'm sure he wasn't tipped off or anything. 🙄

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

the thing i'm waiting for with the ai romance novel lady is for another scammer to figure out that purely ai-generated material w no human authorship is generally not considered to be protected by copyright in the US rn, and saving themselves the 45 mins per book by reselling hers

We’re safe, and we’re doing okay. This is a horrific reality that I refuse to let become normal for anyone. #iceoutwisconsin #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutminnesota

They don’t explicitly say it, and I’m sure he can’t show it, but the king must love Humpty Dumpty so much

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

Having to hide your AI slop under pseudonyms so you can still trick kindle readers into giving "your" book a try... Yeah. You're winning, babe.

Also this person doesn't want her real name/other writing pseudonyms printed but let the paper publish a photo which any AI-based image generator will probably match to her real name, that seems odd

IF THIS WORKED, SHE WOULDN'T NEED TO SELL THE TECHNIQUES TO YOU

White House Aide Fired After Telling JD Vance About Super Bowl Party

I recommend blocking any "A.i." bot you see on Bluesky. Even if it's a non-commercial art project or whatever, I don't see any reason to feed it data by accidentally interacting with it.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

It would be pretty cool if a monarchy or two were made defunct over the Epstein files. Not my lane, obviously. But Norway, UK, etc.? You have the opportunity to do the coolest fucking thing right now.

Dilley is a hellhole and we have to get it shut down and all those kids freed.

Then Toad began to bang his head against the wall

Hi Coloradans! Reminder, in Colorado, the election primary looks like this: Caucus -- > Primary --> General Election This means that in order to get progressive Democrats on the primary ballot, we need to attend caucus to get them on.

QAnon/Pizzagate was always stupid for so many reasons in addition to all the other ways it was and is bad, but if nothing else we should now fully understand how asinine it is to believe any of these fucking creeps would ever need to speak in code

The CIA World Factbook, a reliable source of information about the countries of the world, has been publicly available since 1997. It is now going away. Please consider supporting @wikipedia.org and @ourworldindata.org. The world desperately needs trustworthy data. www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars. And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I love that jacket

At a certain point stepping down isn't enough. You gotta hand that hard drive over to the police, buddy.

Liam Ramos is 5 years old and his family was seeking asylum. He and his father were detained for 12 days. In my post, I share the art bis story prompted me to make art inspired by and for him. If you want to make art to cheer up Liam, go to comics4liam.com. #comics4liam

A little something for someone who's been through a lot. #art #Comics4Liam comics4liam.com

Please check out the #Comics4Liam hashtag and visit comics4liam.com for links to help Liam and other immigrants like him who are being persecuted by this evil government.

#Comics4Liam I haven’t drawn in decades but I love this idea. Go to comics4liam.com to read all about it and links to donate.

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

I wanted to draw a little something for #Comics4Liam. (I'm so glad he's home, but there are so many other children still in ICE detention.) Go to comics4liam.com for more details on fundraisers for Liam and others victimized by ICE. And if you can draw, jump on the trolley and draw Liam a picture!

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

FLAG: Trump said today that Republicans should nationalize elections — continuing to double down on his 2020 election lies. The suggestion runs contrary to the Constitution's delegation of election administration to state governments.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

"for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States"

Activists responding to reports of an ICE abduction in Minneapolis found an abandoned car with flat tires, riddled with bullet holes (1/30/26)

California, your turn.

Hey maybe Bass shouldn’t have made LAPD chief out of a man who was the FIRST LASD SHERIFF TO LOSE REELECTION IN 100 YEARS SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE HE WAS TOO COZY WITH ICE

HELLO Every elected should be acting like a community organizer/mutual aid organizer all the damn time in 2026.

This is the only way forward.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

So, my Cintiq 21UX just stopped working at around 2:00 AM, today. Stopped recognizing pen input, refused to function as anything other than a monitor. This has happened before. Twice. And if it happens to you, it's fixable. Here's how. www.reddit.com/r/wacom/comm...

Sometimes you look at Democrats and think "You've spent so long accepting lesser evils that you don't even consider anymore if you have to accept an evil at all."
