Merry Christmas!

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers Hard Mode: No Gundam series, Battletech or Macross allowed.

If you are a teacher, I beg you with everything I have: Do not inflict "A.i." on your students. Do not make them use this evil tech that could end up telling them to kill themselves. Do not make them use image generators that destroy their innate, human ability to create on their own.

Meanwhile, this last-minute cancelation comes after Trump has been raging about 60 Minutes segments he doesn't like and complaining that the Ellisons aren't his "friends" anymore -- all while they are banking on Trump to side with their Warner Bros hostile takeover bid.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Khanna: "The problem here is there are rich and powerful people who either engaged in this abuse, covered it up, or we're on this island. What the American people want to know is who are these people? Instead of holding them accountable, Pam Bondi is breaking the law."

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith followed the facts & the law when he prosecuted Felon Donald Trump. Now, he faces Trump’s retribution campaign. My latest on Smith’s closed-door testimony & why Judge Aileen Cannon continues to put her thumb on the scale to help Trump. youtu.be/_pyQoY9Z8Cg?...

House Republicans are going on vacation and letting your health care subsidies lapse.

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

It’s time for donating… blood that is! Proud to be a Power Red donor. #redcross

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible. I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner. A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did. I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Here’s another tip: how about we all just ditch Instagram??? It’s crazy how much creatives insist on staying there while simultaneously going oh no one sees my posts, I’m not growing, etc. Girl stop, it’s not you, it’s the app.

🎉Ernest H. Shepard was born on this day back in 1879! The celebrated, beloved illustrator contributed to Punch magazine for decades and illustrated many beloved books, including the Winnie-the-Pooh books as well as "The Secret Garden" and "The Wind in the Willows".

genuinely surprised at what a small following Jennifer Laughran's tumblr has. she's a senior agent at Andrea Brown and has a permanently open Q&A for authors. an amazing resource and opportunity! an incredibly generous one, too. www.tumblr.com/literaticat

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Just lost Whamaggedon… 😤

Narrator: It WAS the brain, he was just too dumb to understand what had happened.

How pathetically fragile & childish the man some people voted for is.

IMPORTANT reminder for when you print zines: Set your printer to "Scale: 100%" Many printers automatically resize to 94% or something, which will shrink the image and give you weird borders when you fold the zine. Scale: 100%.

Repost this with five animals you’ve seen in the wild. 1. Rat 2. Mouse 3. Squirrel 4. Raccoon 5. Raven

Happy thanksgiving!
