WHITBY- New scheme to restrict COUNT DRACULA to feeding only from known strumpet LUCY WESTENRA. Loss of DEMETER crew deemed "tragic, but we must move on."

Can MN just not have a governor? It seems like things work about as well as they are going to even without one. Maybe as a ceremonial office that could be held by a dog. That would improve morale, at least.

"So how's the state of media literacy?" Well, I just saw some people trashing a guy because a shittier guy also has a surname that begins with the letter "F" so....

With the amount of disinformation that's been popping up you might think there's a concerted effort to flood the zone but probably there isn't and it's just people being messy. Which amounts to the same end result.

You can just block idiots. It's allowed! Think I'm an idiot? Man you should totally block me and I will support you in this decision. My takes will not be getting any better.

Trying* real hard not to do woke phrenology, but how come all those protestor mugshots are people looking rad as hell and every white supremacist scumfuck looks like their family tree is a horizontal line? *For some** definitions of 'trying' **Ok you got me

There is one ethical use case for genAI and that is creating sufficient evidence that ICE has snatched the Baileys to convince Chuck Schumer to do something.

It's interesting, really, that Benedict Arnold is still remembered in hatred at a far greater level than any British commander (none of whom even come to mind). Just, y'know, something for all the Dems betraying the people to consider.

"Better training" just means vanishing our neighbors in secret so there's no inconvenient evidence of ruined lives and human suffering to upset the donor class and the peasantry cease their incessant nattering.

People out here getting fully hard at the idea of being able to say a slur whilst I just deleted a draft because I did not want to risk it being misinterpreted as libel against solifuges.

(person talking about the virtual reality movie where if you die inside it you die in real life but the resident programs still have to, like, shoot you with a machine gun or something): It is totally unrealistic to use the human body as a battery.

Real cool misinformation machine we keep building for some reason go brrrrrrrrrrrrr

There were a few hours there last night when it felt like the administration was in damage control & they were signaling "It was never meant to go this far." Then you can really hear the moment Stephen Miller's coffin creaked open and he came out screaming "DOUBLE DOWN" before drinking a child dry.

ian asked me to put this here

MPLS really making the case that anarchism is the most effective way to be, though. At least so long as there is a hostile invading force anyways. Now if we can maintain this should we ever gain peace again we'll really be cookin

I'm sorry I can't stop thinking "all democrats know how to do is fund police, do means test and lie" on repeat now

The American Dream adage of "you can be rich if you work hard" serves only to convince the rich that they have worked hard.

Don't be a doomer, sure, but it's also not Yub Nub time just because the fascists and their collaborators are taking a moment to restack the deck.

They know this accomplishes less than nothing. They're not stupid. They just think you are.

In honor of my first (afaik) Tawny Kitaen film, I shall now partake of The Phantom Planet

Thinking about my dog, and how the things that I run across that remind me of him make me sad, and how he is not an international news story. But I never was much good at allegory.

Here's what my tea leaves say: 1) Fascist Command 2.0 will make noise about reform and restraint. ICE will play nice. 2) Dems will nod sagely, pat themselves on the back, vote to maintain/increase DHS funding. 3) ICE will shoot like 10 people in a week to make up for lost time. May it not be so.

Glad to hear Sky Marshal Dienes has stepped down.

The bird call sfx that was just playing unobtrusively in a game menu screen just pushed like half the tension out of my body, so maybe give that a shot if you need to. (Dog used to go APESHIT at any birdsong, so he would've hated this RIP)

*nonchalantly trying to keep a bulging door closed, squeaky voices from the other side growing increasingly indignant* Are there drawings of goblins from other weeks? No, I don't think so. Nope, not ringing any bells. But I'm sure were they to exist they would be entirely wholesome.

If you need a break from... everything... I'm pleased to remind you all that it's #goblinweek, and a lot of cartoonists and illustrators are drawing a lot of delightful, whimsical things. Check out the hashtag!

Hey in the off chance I end up murdered by fascist goons, please DO NOT use an image/artwork directly depicting my death as propaganda even if I would have agreed with your end goal.

Surveillance State (Plane Remix) dropped and it is🔥🔥🔥

I was fortunate to be able to see Caravaggio's "Judith Beheading Holofernes" when it was at MIA and would like to add: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Every time I look in on facebook I feel like a Norwegian running across the snow trying to kill a dog.

I remember 2020 when for a brief moment it felt like there might be actual, tangible change. Then nothing got fixed and the momentum was lost. So look askance at all these politicians making the right noises until legislation is signed, preferably in their own blood.

Dem Senators: "Abolish ICE ... from having to face consequences provided they present a coupon!"

Proof of life, or whatever.

but we wont get that from police, not even that heroic individual you admire - so what does that say to you about policing at large?

None of this needs to be this way.

Minneapolis is frequently a cold town, both in the literal and metaphorical sense. If you haven't been here in winter you have no idea how desolate those streets get. Even when I try to envision this intersection in summer it is still a stark grayscale. You would never know from this picture.

Stuck at my job. Increasingly side-eyeing the people coming in to shop.

Vichy Dems get the Hague as well. If there are not sufficient consequences, this will continue to happen in another 3 years, or another 7 years, or another 11 etc etc etc

important to note if you’re attending the march downtown and don’t want to or can’t go in target center if you’re carrying things that are banned by their policy! which is VERY extensive and includes backpacks, large bags, large signs, etc

Highlighting the places that are offering free meals or warm indoor space for community: -The Cargo Bike Shop (indoor space w/ free coffee) -Catzen Coffee (indoor space w/free coffee) -Farina Rosa (free meal noon-1:30) -Lotus Restaurant (free Pho noon-4) -Mayday Cafe (free meal 10am-1:30pm) 1/2

That they always find -just- enough Dems to force their atrocities through sure does make everyone look real fucking complicit. But sure, the midterms will change things.

Seriously? Not now, helicopter.

Midnight. The coldest midnight of the year. A time for the darkest, most vengeful of magics. The Intrusive Thought Forcing Itself Into My Brain: ORCISH SKA BAND!!!

Fingers crossed that Klobuchar's inevitable gubernatorial run presser suddenly gets interrupted by Jesse "the Body" Ventura's entrance music.

If you knowingly post AI you are destined to be the pillow of an ICE agent upon your arrival in hell. If you have done so accidentally, repent and your soul may yet be saved.
