To Sir With Love gives me so many feelings

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

“I LIKE BEER!!!” - Justice Brett Kavanaugh

Whoa

#TBRuary 20: Murderbot Diaries. I’ve been meaning to watch the show and read the books for a while now.

On the sad anniversary of a close family member’s death by their own hand, if there’s anyone out there in crisis know that there are people who care about you, that you have value, and that there is always help if you dial 988.

Dog Days Are Over

... a gas station bought a second hand melted navho cheese stand and never maintained it. And a guy died. Make sure your liquid cheese is properly maintained.

My sister just told me what she saw on the movie theater sign from the car waiting at the light: Good Luck Have Fun Dont Die Send Help Her: is the movie theater ok? 🤣😂🤣

HE MURDERED SOMEONE UNDER HIS COMMAND AND COVERED IT UP. HE WASN’T “VILIFIED”— HE WAS THE VILLAIN BECAUSE THAT’S HOW SORKIN AND HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT COCAINE WROTE HIM! WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING?!

Forbes 30 Under 30 remains undefeated

Celebrating the fact that I have booked major ass-saving levels of editing work by partaking of some emotional support fizzy water.

Personalitymaxxing is when you read books, have hobbies and occasionally think about how other people are feeling.

I just snuck into the Zoom for @mackidssl.bsky.social where they showed my picture book, and flailed a little. Thank you for doing a lovely job showcasing it! And please consider pre-ordering now - Kelly Wu (who is not on Bluesky) did an AMAZING job with the art.

EXFUCKINGCUSE ME *screams in “daughter of elders in Mississippi who have Health Conditions”*

Accurate

These children got left behind I’m shocked at the easy pop culture stuff but offended that more people don’t know who Madam CJ Walker is.

No, go after them because they're bad for society, like arsenic in the water. A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

England is arresting people and the White House press isn’t even asking questions about Epstein.

It’s also notable that America invented a version of Christianity that synthesized meritocracy and “mandate of Heaven”. Like a backup plan, a memetic redundancy.

:D

I want this for us

The perfect encapsulation of LA 2026.

Does anyone else think that everyone in the Netflix Pride & Prejudice has a face that knows what an iPhone is? Also, they clearly took cues on casting Mr. Bennet from whoever cast the dwarves in The Hobbit. We seem to have another Thorin Smokin’ Shield situation and I’m uncomfortable.

Haaaaaave you met Ted? Not in his district anymore. Very happy with my Congressmember. But this guy is the guy you do not fuck with. youtube.com/shorts/dOZgd...

can't stress this enough, because people with money sometimes can not seem to grasp the actual numbers people are working with: TEN (10) percent of our relatively small follower base subscribing to our $1/mo "thanks for being you, fuck off" tip jar, it would be life-changing money.

and it's *so little* money for us, the difference between "good headspace, able to get life done and create things" and "total burnout" is like $800/mo most artists aren't asking to be rich. seriously, just make life a little fucking easier and we'll handle the rest and keep you entertained.

He’s holding my hand.

Whole Foods AI stores were entirely Indians watching on video feeds and ringing you up. Waymos have live human support partially driving them. And the AI that has “Hollywood shaking in its boots” is…stock footage. With face replacement. Yeah. We are sooooooo cooked, AI bros. Call me when it works.

From the above piece: “I hopped over to Seedance’s website and it only took 10 seconds to find green screen footage of two stuntmen performing the same fight choreography we see in the Cruise vs Pitt scene.” youtu.be/AKDWuFSy9DA

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Ceding YA to adults was SUCH a huge mistake and the industry will be paying for the error for at least a generation

So, apparently Melissa de la Cruz’s new *YA* novel involves a threesome with a corpse. I just… I… *gestures at target age range for YA* *gestures frantically in “read the room”* How many editors and marketing professionals signed off on that?

Love in the Time of Cholera. I hated it, my friend hated it, and each of us decided not to walk out because we thought the other liked it. SO MAD that we wasted our time.

Many of you probably know this, but in 1862 - while Manchester millworkers were starving because the Union army had blockaded the Southern states and almost no cotton was being exported - the working people of Manchester wrote to Abraham Lincoln, to support the blockade that was taking their jobs. >

if you’re not a creative i think you likely don’t know how much almost all of us in the US are constantly struggling or how much MORE GREAT ART you would get if most of us weren’t constantly worried about not being able to eat or pay the bills imagine valuing art and artists! IMAGINE

This story has everything: Grift. Immigration industrial complex. DeSantis. Toilets. Florida gave $92 million to a single porta-potty company involved with "Alligator Alcatraz"; the company is named "Doodie Calls": www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/02/17/9...

“The CSAM and unfettered racism on Twitter aren’t dealbreakers for me because the audience is bigger”

This is a gorgeous thread, particularly if you are of the confidence-game inclined.

"Look, I understand mistakes can happen when you're sick, but Edwards--who it should be noted is Ars' 'Senior AI Reporter'--has used AI not once but twice here, and in doing so has caused a huge amount of reputational damage for himself and his employer in the process."

Also, older art shows us how even progressive creators of the time had their views shaped by the bigotry of the time. Which helps us understand how indoctrination works and how to recognize the effects of systemic racism, propaganda dressed up as art, misinformation, etc, & how to combat them.
