staying at the Claremont Resort rn and the quake was, according to Google, 0.2mi away. that was a VERY strong shock lol

hey man. i can see from your replies you probably don't have object permanence. and that's fine. but some of them are so bad that i have to ask: do you even have subject permanence

this should be obvious but evidently it isn't: if you go through and favorite 6 months of selfies in like 5 minutes I'm gonna think that's deeply creepy shit and block you?

looking like a cenobite

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

3rd deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -where arrest has relatively low risk, and greater strategic value -no US legal rationale, or even attempt to offer one -blatant violation of international law -no evidence US knew who they hit

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

today today today 6pm!!!

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

😎😎😎

are image posts broken for everyone or am I just cursed?

I'll be there too! Come hang 🍄

it's good that they're actually scared now

a reminder! this show is tomorrow! the piece is hanging up! come see it in person!!! I'll be there for the whole thing, my studio is set up to show it off too if you wanna see how I make my art

transformer models are good at what they're supposed to do (transforming from A space to B space): the generative perversions (transforming from A space to A' space) are a parlor trick that got out of hand

YES like that's the other thing, I have a hobbyist or artist's interest in reading ancient manuscripts! anyone with a classics degree could do this *infinitely* better than an AI! it's hyper niche, it's not worth a gajillion dollars!

ok I just used Claude to help me translate a particular section of a 4th century Septuagint manuscript and I confess that's pretty neat

hey, i’m in this. it’s free to read in its entirety here: prairieschooner.unl.edu/excerpt/boyi...

Israel is goint to try to murder Greta Thunberg (again). If they succeed, you will see absolutely none of the grief that was poured out for Charlie Kirk, and when her death is inevitably mocked by zionists, bluesky moderaters will not give a shit. Only some political assassinations matter, to them.

Ok I take it back there is great art happening and it's right here on the free butterfly app, that is free

we gotta go back to reviewing websites. if any magazine wants to review my Bluesky profile, I promise to graciously accept any criticism I may receive.

Here's one you almost certainly haven't read... Internet Underground, a magazine on internet culture! We don't always collect off-topic magazines like this, but it crosses over enough with digital/gaming culture that we decided to include it. archive.gamehistory.org/folder/e36ee...

yo what the fuck

oh no my reality based community! oh no!

this is literally the plot of X-Files: Fight The Future (1998)

this is the funniest possible resolution to the story of the Oklahoma State Superintendent who played porn during a Board Of Education meeting

remember when Laura Loomer put her body on the line for civil rights (handcuffed herself to one of the doors at Twitter HQ because she got banned but it was a double door so people walked around her)

The most enduring American values are moral obtuseness & rage. In 1970, a majority of Americans polled thought students were to blame for Kent State Massacre; most opposed simple traffic blockades to protest Vietnam and would consider assaulting activists & resorting to firearms

"the people I love don't seem to care" wow maybe it's because you spent the last however many years making friends with Zionists and other reactionaries? the people I love are all worried about each other and doing our best to provide support!

I'm more interested in watching which trans people habitually defend McBride's dumb decisions as a matter of "strategy", so I can understand who has my back and who doesn't

may day 2017 in Portland lol, they were gassing protestors at the slightest provocation. I saw kids in strollers and liberal grandmas in pussy hats there.

Raise your hand if you’ve been kettled at a “sanctioned” protest in the middle of the day 🙋🏻‍♀️

when Horst Wessel got shot, the communists interrupted his funeral procession by yelling The Internationale at mourners, and whether or not it was *helpful*, that's the energy I'd like to see people bring to Kirk's memory, not whatever the hell this is

The resolution was not about condemning political violence, it's about the government officially honoring the life and work of the head of our contemporary Nazi Youth—don't let anyone try to gaslight you into believing otherwise.

I only ever see cis people talking about this 🙃

honestly I think this is just going to make it more likely that tech cos hire engineers based in Canada or Central America and that software engineers in the US will massively suffer as a result

every day I wake up to this perfect sweetie

Everything is a distraction from everything else. The only right thing to be talking about is nothing, which is also a distraction

Burger 🍔 #art

i honestly think the level of energy these guys have about getting people to RSVP to a protest doesn’t make any kind of sense unless you take into account that most of the people saying “don’t RSVP“ are Black women and then you see they’re just dunking on Black women Then the energy makes sense

so far all the videos I've seen are like, screen recordings of screen recordings? I'm not sure if the raw video even *exists* anymore.

probably a weird question, I know, but does anyone have a link to the actual video of Kirk getting shot? I'm asking for art purposes.

Enver Hoxha is rolling over in his bunker shaped grave

dawg look at my chamber of commerce we're all gonna die

it's so wild living in northern California because you're just walking down the street in a fairly dense urban neighborhood and there's just a MASSIVE redwood towering over a three story apartment house

went on a little walk and discovered that someone's planted grapevines on a trellis hidden behind bushes in the park. I picked a bunch of grapes and they were delicious??
