One thing I’ve learned that is that arguments in favor of something that does measurable harm to your community — using genAI, skipping vaccines, not wearing masks — are generally not reasoned or based in science or even deeply held beliefs. The actor simply does not want to *have to do something.*

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

My kids & i have been bonding over casual brawl games. They are very aware of dopamine and how games get you hooked with gifts, but we can turn that off to play a silly little mobile game with cute skins. (We never pay for them.) Yesterday 1 child was rambling on how cool it was that I was getting/1

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

WaPo laid off one of the journalists who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

I am begging anyone with musical talent to remix this with K-pop Demon Hunters takedown anthem: youtu.be/H5PG7xhmYaY?...

I very clearly need a break from the micro-blogging platforms.

The #Comics4Liam press release! We will *always* find time to run stuff like this at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social. What a fantastic initiative! www.brokenfrontier.com/comics4liam-...

As Chris points out below: no regret whatsoever, no apology. But! Look closely for when the clear true/false distinctions cease and the "I believes" and "to my knowledges" start.

This is important. As humans, we like the idea of masterminds and grand schemes. Because it means we can solve societal problems just by defeating the big boss. But in reality, such problems can only be solved by uprooting systems--like financial capitalism--that create bad actors as externalities.

So we all know there's a @steampowered.com survival game called Epstein Island?

Helen of Troy was an egg!

It's kind of an open secret that AI companies are hiring creatives to produce new material to train their models since they've basically run out of data to mine. They're trying to make it so the only job you can still get is training your replacement

And then it's clear the son of your drama school's namesake is also a douche.

In 2026, my opinion of pedophiles got lower.

At #Sundance2026 I wrote about 28 films in 9 separate dispatches for @ebertvoices.bsky.social. ICYMI: Here are those dispatches, beginning with ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM, WICKER, and THE GALLERIST.

Threatening comedians is fascist shit. just FYI.

For The Cut’s February 2026 cover story, Halle Berry talks about her starring role in Bart Layton’s ‘Crime 101’ and the next steps in her menopause-awareness mission.

I need to know if investing in learning and setting up #Ghost is a good idea for someone who just wants to post things/ have them emailed to the people who sign up for it all in one program. And you guys r the smartest out of my platforms. I run newsletters for a living so I suck at sending my own.

"'The largest school system in the country should use its purchasing power and moral authority to protect children, not leave them subject to a surveillance experiment that will undermine learning and leave them a world on fire.'"

"This—yet another moment when it becomes obvious that powerful men consume women and children for pleasure—is going to be framed, once again, as a scary time for men. Does it occur to those who do so that they are perfectly demonstrating the point that's being interrogated? It does not."

Today I learned my Facebook followers are not ready for coded messages that aren't chain mail letters.

Read up on The Trump Accounts. They are literally buying support for life. TPUSA is a supporter and you cannot tell me they didn't include mandatory attendance clause or something.

Don't wait until the rain stops; in the time it took me to write and publish this piece, we went from a rainstorm to freezing temperatures in Florida.

Trump's antisemitism envoy: "It is utterly inappropriate to compare Anne Frank to children hiding from ICE. This demeans the experience of those who died in the Holocaust." Actual Holocaust survivors in Florida: "This reminds us of Anne Frank."

Screenshot this to send to people: "This is what you sound like". I'll start with the people in my local education group complaining that immigrant kids get an education.

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning. A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Before I read posts on here today, please tell me which MSM outlet was parked outside “youth pastor” and sometime Speaker Mike Johnson’s home (D.C. townhouse or home in Shreveport) this morning to get his reaction to the Epstein files & the horrifying allegations made in them against the President?

To be clear, we were thousands of regular folks at an entirely non-violent march that passed by the ICE building. They let loose chemical agents on families with little children. Elderly in wheelchairs. For no reason. The cruelty was the point. Attempting to provoke a riot was the point.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

Propaganda Math ain't mathin' Kristi Noem likes to claim that DHS arrests the "worst of the worst." New data from Cato say otherwise. DHS inflates numbers to include people w/ pending criminal charges as "criminal arrests" despite not being found guilty. #Pinks www.cato.org/blog/5-ice-d...

The origin story of our current moment in American fascism is the creation of white fraternities—which exempted a piece of campus from race and gender integration and allowed the most powerful students to bond over their hateful ideologies and group violence.

I just postponed my mom's 75th birthday celebration because the idea of flying into Boston during the 4th of July 2026 overshadowed any other pro or con. The pettiest of problems in this age, but I'm sad for my mom.

They are snatching up Black people doing their job. Oh please arrest me for teaching people how to read! I’m so ready for that fight.

I was cleaning out some files just now, and came across something that I’m sure my European followers have probably never seen. Behold, the 98-page itemized bill for my kid’s 3-month NICU stay. (Lego Obiwan is there for scale.)

And then I remember I'm supposed to read "The Challenger accident and public opinion . Attitudes towards the space programme in the USA" before bed. That might not happen.

I can't even research Snoopy without it turning into a project.

Florida call your reps before the vote at 3:30pm today if you can.

Live your life so when you're finally apprehended after an international manhunt inside the seclusive New Hampshire 'hideaway mansion' with your secret younger husband that you're not caught in a bathrobe, huddled behind a security guard on a tinfoil-wrapped cell phone calling Alan Dershowitz*/1

Counterpoint. Instead, offer free media literacy and critical thinking training to every adult in the UK.

Ten years ago I argued with egoist and contrarian right-wingers who swore white nationalism was in my best interest. It was easy to shut down: I was never the right kind of white as an unmarried, queer, sex worker, with a non - white primary partner. Many of them learned the hard way I was right too

just build a software product that becomes a load bearing dependency for the stock market and the government will be forced to become a distribution partner and build a citizen sales channel for you

In solidarity with the boycotts, my indie books have officially been pulled from Amazon. If you have *also* pulled your books from Amazon for whatever reason, let me know. I'm putting together some more discovery for people whose books no longer benefit from or support Amazon.
