In a normal administration, this sort of thing would be a gigantic scandal. In this administration, though, it's just an ordinary Tuesday. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

These creeps want to do ruthless, lawless power grabs but also to have their delicate feelings respected

JOHN FOGERTY: I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain JAMES TAYLOR: okay, you’re not gonna fucking believe this

Oh, Pixelframe, what hath thou wrought

Clickbait video on YouTube (that's, like, everything on YouTube except music tracks). As I sometimes do, I open it and then go to "Show Transcript" so I can read and find out what the One Clickbait Trick is without waiting for the dude to natter his way to it verbally. Transcript refuses to load.

again: If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die

My focus is very very poor today and I have done the small handful of absolutely vital work things I have to do and I am about this -><- close to declaring the rest of the day a dead loss and going back to this fucking Quitclaim scene I didn't actually get to render last night.

I have been saying for years now to never use Chrome, which I consider to be a viral agent, and so far nothing has happened which contradicts me and a lot of things have happened which bolster my position.

I don't trust reports of this kind of crap from sites that are iffy ("hey, if you liked this, send us bitcoin" is always a red flag) but this site has done the homework: www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-... (Their server is apparently squirrel-powered, give the CSS a bit of time to load.)

PULL THE LEVER KRONK

It is a truth universally etc that every space station must have a bar, and that I must have a scene set in it. It is also etc that I will then have to contemplate the forty minutes' work of filling that bar with people just for the sake of like three panels of story, which does not warm my heart.

losing my mind over this toy and this commercial btw

The New York Times calling what is clearly an homage to post-Renaissance sculptures of the Virgin Mary "Greco-Roman" is why we used to fund art education

OMG the wings move

Monae also always understands the brief

As we were just discussing here, my feeling is that the only rule of Met Gala is you MUST go all out. Over the top. The Met Gala is no place for the timid. Heidi gonna Heidi, but she understands the brief

One of the many ways that paying attention to politics makes you feel like you're going insane is that it's hugely controversial to claim that the most recent SCOTUS decision was entirely about helping Republicans win elections, and meanwhile the President keeps screaming it at the top of his lungs.

What’s so brazen is that the subhead literally spells out the travesty. It says that tech industry lobbyists have convinced congress to pay for their products to be made a compulsory part of public education so that when the industry wreaks havoc on American workers it can be blamed on educators.

I just want to echo this, that my high school-age kid and his peers DO NOT want AI. They hate it, think it's gross and ignorant, and agree that it's ruining their lives.

A way to be an ally to Jews is to relentlessly point out that there are more Christian Zionists in the US alone then there are Jews in the entire world (many of whom are not even Zionists). The conversation about Zionism should be dominated by that rather than laying all blame at the feet of Jews.

Can't remember which jabroni was talking about it being myopic that people are pushing for SCOTUS reform, but here's a sitting justice showing up on Fox & Friends lmao

New rubbish dialogue reaches me every other day on wadges of pink paper—and none of it makes my character clear or even bearable. . . . I must off to studio and work with . . . Tennyson (that can’t be right) Ford. Ellison? (? — No!)—well, a rangy, languid young man. —Alec Guinness, diary, 1976

It you're incredibly lucky you'll get all three of them from me in a single day

I listen to the Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes soundtracks a lot and "Vienna" by Ultravox is on (great song BTW) and I just want to remind you that Midge Ure's real given name is Jim and he decided to spell it phonetically backwards

Teaching kids AI literacy - what it is, how it actually works, what the tradeoffs are in using it - would be a good thing. But that's not what's being proposed, they're trying to get it into grade schools to create AI dependency

Artists You Liked Too Much To Ever Stop Listening To, But Every Track Is Now Laced With Regret Because They Lost Their Gotdam Minds (Thread inspiration: Maya Arulpragasam)

People keep asking Alan Moore questions about comics he's disowned when they could spend more time asking him questions about things he actually gives a shit about—and get answers as glorious as this.

next year the theme should just be "pussy"

i know the gala funds the institute but i think the institute should put a bit more of its pussy in the themes to deserve that

Character design: The nicest, most polite Russian mobster who will absolutely space you if you cross him you ever met (OK there are no Russians per se anymore in the Quitclaim universe but Cherniy Medved is definitely composed of people who were Russian many generations ago)

Turns out book bans & anti-LGBTQ policies are unpopular with Texas parents. In 2022, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD passed the most extreme classroom censorship policy in Texas. Now, board members w these views have been voted out. More on GCISD's 2022 policy: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... #txlege

You remember last year when 500 South Korean battery production experts were kidnapped from a Hyundai plant in Georgia and mass-deported? This single act completely destroyed the willingness of foreign EV experts to work in the US to advance American battery and motor manufacturing. 7/x

American Idol was one of my great 'breakup' moments with pop culture in that I thought, no, I am not paying attention to this regardless of how much it's talked about at work. I'll take the social hit. You can't make me know this. It's gotten much easier the older one gets.

The thing finally shattered Walt’s self-delusion that everybody at the studio were “his boys” and permanently soured him on animation in favor of futzing around with trains and parks.

"Does the NYT's habit of writing misleading headlines cause death in children? Editors' Mamdani fixation raises the question."

The right are so obsessed with the idea that leftist agitiators on are secretly being paid is simply because their movement is being secretly financed. They also can't imagine why you would take a position that you weren't being paid to take, since they have no actual principles beyond self-interest

Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...

The odds that tomorrow is cancelled are rising by the minute. If it weren't for a couple of dumb things I have to do, today would effectively be cancelled too.

Steam email: Hey, [GAME] on your wishlist is on sale! Me: [fires up Steam] Me: [sees game is still in Early Access] Me: [contemplates TOS VIOLATION for Steam marketing dept]

Turing Test is when my girlfriend in Canada is real

LRP (effing Dawkins): I can only post the links to "Sweet Eliza" so many times. Seriously though, I think all y'all who don't intersect any of these spheres realize the extent of the I Am A Man Of Pure Reason crowd's vulnerability to this particular psychosis.

Sure, sure, deny your belief in any higher powers and scorn those who do believe with big words, but tell me again how you made the computer love you so much it turned human

OK folks, it's Sleeper Squad time! All five of you who were eagerly anticipating it, your time has come. www.deviantart.com/deepesttrilb... archiveofourown.org/works/84098851
