This is not specific to ICE JSYK. When my mother was evicted from our old family home, they helped themselves to our things too. And I hear of people who, when they are taken into police custody, have their personal possessions (ordinary, non-problematic items) lifted from them out of greed.

I see the Panthers are being invoked. I like to remind people about what the U.S. government and local police forces did to the BPP. This recent book is useful. press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

“campaigns don’t have the funding to do this” after a presidential cycle in which billions of dollars were raised is hilarious. really reaching new heights in absurdist comedy

Ok well as a wildlife biologist, AI is a profound, world-destroying mistake.

at a deep instinctive level they can't recognise popular ideas or take them seriously

Gonna wager they were not referencing being “unique” in terms of simply identity but what was unique in your experience that could make for an interesting, intimate narrative. The problem is that guy was so mediocre that he couldn’t point to a single thing. And that’s the rub, right?

NBC News actually published this: "While Trump’s peace plan appears to be holding, albeit with regular Israeli airstrikes, the crisis endures." Just imagine NBC framing it this way if Hamas engaged in "regular strikes against Israel?" This is how legacy media normalizes genocide & white supremacy.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

gentle reminder you can always be put in the bird tube without warning

Last Christmas I gave you Paul Blart The very next day, you bought a Segway

The target audience for AI is people from 1990s infomercials who literally can’t do anything, people who open a cabinet and 50 Tupperware containers come tumbling out at them before they slip on a banana peel and can’t get up again.

have been following this account since the old days and this is the best one I’ve ever seen. My God. “You’re about to extend your style to your hairstyle” is like a fortune teller roasting his client

Saying the second panel with Jared from Silicon Valley voice. For those unfamiliar:

still my favorite christmas post

If you still for some reason post your art on Twitter - they added "edit" button to every image, which opens AI prompt letting anybody to modify it and post as their own.

genuine progressives would dismantle the system that funnels wealth into a few ultra-rich pockets, so nothing. expect zero help on that front

Seasoning. 🌶️

i also figured out how to export and animate the depth map that I use for stacking the 100s of photos that I need to make these. it's not "good" but it is interesting I think! I'll try and do this with something more reasonable soon lol

el capitalismo…

There was a female prison nicknamed the rape club. It got closed (eventually) and the Trump administration is trying to reopen it as a migrant detention center I don't think I need to provide further details. It's all the same stink

The very depiction of markets somehow being sacred is part of the problem. Markets CAN be good, in certain contexts. Markets themselves are not Good. Confusing the two is how you get Greg Mankiw arguing to every Econ 101 student that price gouging is right and proper.

Had a chat with Genndy Tartakovsky about how his idea to make Primal's third season about zombies came to be, his grassroots effort to get Black Knight greenlit, and why he wants the future of the animation industry to be driven by bold original works instead of legacy sequels, franchises, and AI.

Just want to point out that this man was leading the whole Turning Point USA crowd in prayer last week. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

They love each other I swear

“They only use genAI for internal use” “It’s just for generating some ideas, it’s not even really more efficient”

The US journalism community, at the risk of sounding like Richard Nixon, has been progressively stocked with venal perverts so concerned with maintaining access, both to powerful people in public life as well as in journalism itself, that they are now are not only blind to their *own* biases,

“Babies Are Freezing to Death in Gaza. Israeli Policy and the World’s Inaction Are to Blame”

Opinion sections need to be nuked from orbit. These people do not have anything useful to say, just elitist knobs who think attending fancy parties with the wealthy and powerful makes them better than people with actual jobs.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

“.. some engineers argued for mechanical handles,” but “Musk’s directive was clear: Virtually everything in the new vehicle — including the doors — should be controlled electrically .. “.. 15 people have died in crashes where Tesla doors wouldn’t open ..” www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Once again I am insisting that GDP growth is not a good measure for economic health, and in a country whose GDP growth is currently being kept on life support by circular investment in AI, a transparent bubble and time bomb, that measure indicates an increasingly precarious situation.

New: We obtained thousands of internal chat messages from the ICE team creating viral videos of raids and "EPIC takedowns." A scramble to satisfy the White House and "feed the beast" spawned a new "propaganda" machine, current and former officials told us. "It's a war!" wapo.st/4s6YnC5

Bruce and Mildred in their berry eating dome 🍓

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

They’ve been doing this shit for literally decades. Did it to my home town when I was a kid and it never recovered. These companies hate you!

great news on this, cait from 11 hours ago

a good thing about fascists is they are incompetent, lazy dipshits like Bari Weiss, sowing the seeds of their own destruction

well, archivists gonna archive. torrents remain undefeated www.404media.co/archivists-p...

you know Cameron, a lot of these "internet communists" started out as liberals like yourself, then they get hit with realizations like the one you're having now. just saying.

Just remembered this banger.
