Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words. I cannot search three words in quotes. Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests. And now we have this.

We don’t always have such direct video evidence—or sometimes we do but don’t post to social media to protect privacy—but this happens a lot in Broadview. Someone appears to be simply standing in the crowd, and for whatever reason, ISP/CCSO/BPD just grab them & invariably slam them to the ground.

The only person whose standard of living has improved during this Trump term is Ghislaine Maxwell.

I'm watching MTG's rebellion against Trump the way I watched Prigozhin's drive on Moscow - I'm cheering for Team Injuries

Father Winter rises to Chicago's aid.

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

This is not the droid I was looking for. #DeliveryBots #Chicago

My new book "The Immortals" about some damn Cubs team you probably remember a little bit is now ready for purchase on Amazon. I promise that I'll stop droning on about it. Eventually. www.pointlessexercise.com/your-new-fav...

They’re calling her Megyn. R Kelly now.

This is the official friday soundtrack of bluesky

Note active voice in thread when victim "upends" Gaetz career but passive voice in image when discussing her exploitation. "Gaetz sexually exploited a homeless child and destroyed his career in the process" would assign a man and a republican agency. And we can't have that.

On the weird fiction panel at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social I talked about how weird fiction can sometimes be like holding a joke until it enters that uncomfortable, unheimlich space. I Say (I Say, I Say) by Robert Shearman (in @datlow.bsky.social Best Horror 12) is a beautiful example of that.

Blue Origin have successfully landed their New Glenn booster, making them just the second company to ever land an orbital class rocket booster! The ESCAPADE payloads are destined for Mars, but they aren't going straight there... Full explanation, by Ryan Caton, here: youtu.be/9hizNQXoe3Q

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “I vote with my party 91% of the time…But when they're protecting pedophiles…I'm sorry, I can't go along with that.”

If this cracks into conservative media spaces, that’ll be good— a decent chunk of Trump voters still want to believe he’s an anti-establishment vox populi sort. Some of that segment fractured in the summer after he told folks to get over the Epstein thing, and are open to off-ramps.

Is this Trump threatening to invade Amazon and other online retailers? I'm going to guess that he's not going after the landlords asking for astronomical rent because of how they last financed their buildings? He's probably NOT outlawing "rent minimums" through executive orders.

Cast her as Bond, you cowards.

Trying to explain how Ambrosia Sky is Powerwash Simulator meets Donkey Kong Bananza but about being wistful for a home you can't go back to and leaving the midwest and grief for lost people & endeavors alike and also there's a grapple hook

Every comic book writer is listening to this novelist whinge about how hard it is to bring a character back from the dead like, “bruh”

You make a Bond film where Bond is doing stuff, but is never seen until the final shot. He's some anonymous actor placed throughout the film, but not recognized until the reveal. The second viewing is much different than the first. "Fight Club" it and no one will care how the last fellow bit it.

Overhauled the data ingestion system and we should be good for the next two weeks. Over the next week or so, I'll be ingesting the next two MONTHS' of data, so this past week's data gap should be an entry in the back issue bin.

Discussing "alpha" negates whatever "alpha" one might have.

In Valles Caldera… New Mexico…

Oh no, another cursed John Byrne drawing of a child

What I wouldn't give for a scene between Jackson Lamb and KA$H Patel...

"Don't worry. I negotiated an extraordinarily favorable deal with the Americans—went straight to the top!"

BRING IT!

"Star Wars" has grown and changed a lot since I watched the original three films at my grandmother's all those years ago. We've had sequels, prequels, extended editions, and more. However, the one version that still carries that "authentic" Star Wars "aura" the most for me are the NPR radio dramas.

This and the "Then it will burn brightly" speech. Luthen gets one very important thing right: that people have to see how bad the Empire and its true intentions truly are, in order to rebel. It has to be allowed - provoked - to reveal itself, and they have to feel it.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown. There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

AWESOME! One of the things I love most living in Chicago is that we have distinct seasons. Winter is probably my favorite.

the liberal version of The Heritage Foundation doesn't exist but it should we need a Reconstruction 2029 plan that half of our candidates have to disown for its extremism

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

"Predator: Badlands" was an EXCELLENT samurai film set in the Weyland-Yuani cinematic universe. They goofed up in one MAJOR way by NOT backing a dumptruck full of $$$ at the headquarters of Mongolian folk-metal warriors, The HU, and commissioning a concept album for the film. #TheHU #Predator

Kalisk-child is the new Porg. #PredatorBadlands

Its like a drunk leprechaun jizzed everywhere

Well said

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.
