Not remotely screwing around with winter storms in TX this time. I have supplies. I’m charging everything. I had my tree trimmed away from my roof today. Tomorrow my fireplace chimney is getting cleaned.

my favorite thing about a texas freeze is the very serious advice from the news and government on how to use a whataburger cup to insulate your outdoor spigots. it is always a whataburger cup.

Turn 1 of Civ be like:

FWIW: Golden is retiring. The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running. The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents. Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez. If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I would estimate the spices in my kitchen range from 2-3 years old to around 14 years old.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

While it made it as far as dress rehearsal, Tommy Brennan's Weekend Update desk bit on Trump's ICE deployments in his home state of Minnesota did not make it to SNL broadcast. But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.

Accurate

Nothing like the Gestapo. Not at all.

ICE abducted a man in minneapolis on january 6. by january 14, he was dead in a concentration camp in texas. victor manuel diaz was 36 years old. they say he did it to himself. ICE murdered him.

if you see a billionaire in public you should steal from them; it is your moral and ethical duty to rob billionaires

sometime this year, donald trump is going to say the money we took from other countries in the form of tariffs will be used to pay for greenland and the right-wing propaganda machine will repeat it. it won't matter that this makes no sense at all bc nothing matters.

There are almost 900 games submitted to the No ICE in Minnesota charity bundle game jam with 8 days left to join! Thank you all so much for spreading the word and joining the bundle to support Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota 🖤

New idea: a swap meet for cat toys that the cats they were bought for could not give less of a shit about.

AI summaries are undefeated.

Newsom's favorite thing in this world is platforming and promoting antiblack racists. Please get out of my face with this "Vote blue no matter who" nonsense. They aren't even trying to hide their true colors anymore. These blue candidates are blood red.

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

People always go on and on about cheap flights when the real problem with travel is that a four day hotel stay anywhere costs as much as a mortgage payment.

HOLY SHIT. THEY DID THE THING.

Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good in the face, is local. Derek Chauvin, who knelt on George Floyd's neck, is local.

I simply want to attend every single gaming conference or festival that has at least one of my friends at it and I don’t think that’s too much to ask

I know I've said this before (kitty cancer derailed it last year), but I really want this to be the year I'm able to travel outside north america for the first time. Which is very expensive to do. So starting, as all good things do, with a spreadsheet.

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world this is not a difficult call to make

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Just trying to go about my day to day life while suppressing bouts of deep, consuming rage over intolerable cruelties. Have to do that a lot these days.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

Also, i don't gotta hold your hand to tell you what the solution is If y'all haven't seen A Bugs Life then that's your problem not mine lol

This is a win for reproductive freedom and everyone who needs abortion care in the region.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

I don’t know when, or where, or how I will die. But I have a good idea of why, and it will be because my ass was trying to carry too many things in one trip again.

I cannot stress this enough If you like a game Write to the developer and tell them you liked it Not just the big ones, but the small ones too And please don’t use chatgpt to write (anything), we can tell Write it from the heart

We should just brand the next protest like “worst president march” or “loser president march”. Something simply comprehensible and unambiguously negative.

This one is resonating today. #Andor

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

Just remembering a doodle I posted during the 2016 campaign

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.

Breakfast cereal should come in the Pringles tubes.

Kash Patel is being driven around in custom armored BMWs that the FBI bought at his request. He also pressed the FBI to purchase new jets for his use — all with taxpayer dollars. What happened to being against government waste?

uh holy SHIT?

[me flirting] tell me how you’re gonna celebrate when it happens
