Grendel looks sweet, but he is just another pet that has achieved dominance over me.

Nothing ruins an indie film faster than AI slop. It’s so disappointing.

I can’t stop watching The Chair Company even though Tim Robinson triggers my anxiety something awful

if you’re cold they’re cold let your demons in

nose down ass up that's the way we cyberstuck

Don’t pirate books! And if you do, stfu about it and stop pretending it’s some kind of moral or Marxist or revolutionary stance. Just be brave and own the fact that you don’t care that you are a thief who doesn’t care about artists.

Anyway please enjoy this pumpkin I saw yesterday

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Exeter have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from varicella zoster virus- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against Alzheimer’s disease!

People have accused my macro photos of being AI which is such a bummer. Like yeah man bugs and crabs are weird but they really do act like that. That’s why nature is cool. AI has ruined weird little guy photography.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.

So I say this as a proud academic labor union member who believes deeply in the importance of tenure to the academic mission: FIRE LARRY SUMMERS

Del Toro not only saying "fuck AI," but putting his money where his mouth is by commissioning several original paintings for Frankenstein.

A girl from the Medici family in 1545. Don't know who she is but I've always liked her. By Agnolo Bronzino, who was born on this day in 1503.

Happy Birthday Sandahl Bergman! ⚔️

the average salary of tens of thousands of games industry professionals is actually now $0, hope that clears things up

La Resistencia invites community members to show up and demand that King County Airport's Vision 2045 Airport Plan include the end of ICE deportation flights in our county! #AbolishICE #AbolishGEOGROUP #ChingaLaMigra #ShutdownNWDC #FreeThemALL

When multiple supernova explosions and stellar winds combine, you get something super! Below is a raku vase inspired by the Orion–Eridanus Superbubble, where smoke, flame, and drifting starlight meet on clay. #space #astronomy #pottery

🎶 I’m feeling great unease Demand for food, fuel, and feed And also wood, it seems It’s leading to a great land squeeze With all the love from me With all the dyin' trees, I scream The angels in my dream, yeah Have found solutions like these, yes please 🎶

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Happy Exploding Whale Day, everyone

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

i love when public radio tells me about omens and portents

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

#OtD 5 Nov 1916 at least five members of the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World union were massacred by police and bosses' thugs in Everett, WA, after a ship carrying union members from Seattle was fired on. More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/02/e...

2025 so far🔥 With one more book to come. This has been our most ambitious, heartburn-y year so far, & only most of it was self-induced. But no one died. That's key. If you missed any of these badass titles, well you know they're gonna be Weird. Hail the Tenebrous Cult. store.tenebrouspress.com

Andrew Wyeth, 1950. “Autumn Cornfield” #painting # #1950s #AndrewWyeth

time to step away from the starbucks drinks, y’all. do not cross the picket line. unions are how we fight back. corporate monopolies are heavily consolidated right now. it’s a large part of why prices are high and wages are low.

I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win. looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

It is officially time for the Democratic Party to stop wasting money on their out of touch consultant class, and start paying for insights from Bluesky posters named "<--- kill me" and "Kicked In The Farm Parts"

Picture an animal that huddles up with others when stressed, babysits its young, hangs out around relatives, and gathers in big groups every year. Did you imagine a rattlesnake? My latest, for National Geographic!

I'm not going to quote tweet the AI sitcom video because fuck that. I just want to point out that we need to stop using "Lynchian fever dream" for weird stuff. David Lynch was always very specific and did emotional narratives rather than plot based ones, it's nothing like AI bullshit.

“A Rising Dread” (oil pastels on paper, 14x11, 2025, J. Pitzl) #art #artist #artsky #fineart #contemporaryart #oilpastels #pastelart

Hollywood keeps chasing the shimmering oasis in Death Valley of "people want personalized like a cheap kid's book movies" and ignoring actual, real world successes like Sinners which are defined by being very specific visions from filmmakers trying to speak from their own experiences and history.

Historic preservation is confusing. In Seattle, we conferred permanent landmark status to a Walgreen’s drive-thru.

Despite death threats from the Chronicle's comments section, 🙄, 800+ people showed up to the No Kings protest in Centralia.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

No Kings protest, Centralia, WA, 10/18/2025. [1/8]

Centralia No Kings protest did not disappoint. Bigger crowd than June. It's still going but I had to get home and do stuff. Will post photos soon!

#ICE has spent $1.6M the last two years on mobile #stingrays. If your phone randomly drops to 2G, that’s your first red flag. Turn off cellular when not in use or use faraday. Don't walk around broadcasting to everything.
