Can confirm!

One of the 15 defendants in Minnesota indicted on "Antifa" charges for allegedly standing up to ICE is simply accused of writing an article we published about the murder of Renee Good. The author describes an ICE agent shooting a pepper ball at his eye, point-blank. You can read the article here:

Personal Me: I don’t cross picket lines, just saying.

Starmer was the most transphobic prime minister by a very wide margin. Add Gaza, self-ID, attacks on neurodivergent & disabled people and harming refugees & immigrants tells us he was the biggest bully too. Yet some centrist journalists can’t figure out why he became so unpopular.

Until very recently, I only understood the term "Luddite" to mean a person who was anti-technology and anti-innovation. This provides some needed perspective.

So was bitcoin. And NFTs. The only people who push the inevitability angle are the ones heavily invested in its success. Lots of people who are tactically responsible for actually delivering results aren’t so convinced just yet.

Trump literally creating his own swamp is beyond satire.

You gotta remember that this guy’s a HUGE racist. There’s no contradiction here if you don’t think non-white children are people.

For my newsletter I wrote about how Kier Starmer should serve as a warning for centrist Democrats in the US. It's a real crystal ball moment. www.burnsnotice.com/its-the-cent...

Hi friends—I’m currently at $0/$925 for July rent. I’m a disabled freelancer dealing w/ summer work slowing down, paired with ongoing grief & struggles after losing my wonderful dog, who was a significant source of mental-health support. Anything helps—especially shares. Cashapp/Venmo: Elsthere

A shame. I love the idea of the Steam Machine, but I don't $1,050 love the idea of the Steam Machine.

it’s going to be so funny when he refills the reflecting pool a second time and the algae comes right back

Ali's still looking for a permanent place to land, and in the meantime spending a lot of money on temporary spots. I haven't chatted with them much today - they're trying to let me rest after helping so much this weekend - but I know they're still struggling a lot Every donation & share helps

Reactionary centrist pundits are begging Democrats to abandon transgender people. Under Starmer, Labour did that... with trans people suffering more under their rule than even under conservative governments. And it was all for nothing. Dems must not make Starmer's mistake. Read my latest.

Do not speak to me of "barriers to entry". Every act of creation is slicing out a thin sliver of light from the existential darkness of the human condition. You not being able to pick up a fucking pencil and risk failing does not even register.

Review from* Alex Gods I am tired 😅

One of the biggest causes of our tech nonsense is the day when companies saw people visiting web sites openly using bookmarks and decided to change that into single-focus browsers that only link to one website to discourage random browsing. And they called them "Apps."

I don't know how to get through to most people that we are closer to being homeless than we are to being billionaires. Everyone becomes disabled at some point therefore disability is an everyone issue.

We already know that architects will be horrified but it will somehow also manage to baffle topologists

Hey everyone. I missed it because I was busy dealing with housing shenanigans but Juneteenth was this last Friday. It is our most profound and meaningful holiday, and in a very real way the abolition of slavery and the war that liberated our neighbors is our most meaningful accomplishment.

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

In fact, those who want systemic and fundamental change are called “radical”—which we should be, particularly when we live in a time when a Nazi billionaire can take a chainsaw to democracy and the public good, murdering millions, and the result is that he becomes a Nazi trillionaire.

"This Code of Practice is emblematic of the increasingly hostile environment in the UK for the trans and intersex communities. In its attempt to erase trans and intersex people from public life, this document is genocidal in nature." www.lemkininstitute.com/lemkin-insti...

They always leave unsaid the important part after "wouldn't want to work": "...under the conditions that allow the rich to exploit them."

"Trump and Musk and their fellow oligarchs have, through fault of their own, fallen into disrepute. Yet this disrepute doesn’t impact the way our systems of government and finance and influence deal with them. This suggests that remedies must be systemic and radical." www.the-reframe.com/healing/

Elon's shtick is that he's a moderate repelled by politicians moving far to the left. But the facts are clear. Since his childhood in South Africa, Elon has idolized the fascists and their values, especially racial eugenics. He's never been a conservative by any measure. He's bona fide fringe right.

It's a perfect allegory. The pool was a perfect architectural water feature using the natural elements that would allow it to sustain. It is over his head. So he spray painted it, and now it's dead.

Messing around with a bonus Horror idea inspired by Halloween and starring a fan favorite Lance. Hopefully, I can get it up on Patreon before too awful long.

When people said that Trump's presidency would lead to the creation of great punk art, I don't believe they had a Bob Odenkirk remake of THE ROOM in mind--at least, not one shot in 12 hours with no rehearsal. And yet here we are.

This makes me feel like my head is going to light on fire. I can't put words to what I think an appropriate response is for what Musk has done.

Given the way Elon Musk speaks of nonwhites, particularly from Africa, I would argue we should view his actions at DOGE to destroy USAID—which has led to the deaths of 600,000 and the millions more to come—as intentional acts.

Doctors 25% more likely to miss a diagnosis on a patient within 3 months after Ai is implemented. The results indicate Ai has an immediate negative effect on professionals skillsets vs prolonged reliance. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is what I’m talking about. This is the follower & point count from the bio of a guy a whole TON of you are arguing with today. What are you even doing. These accounts exist to put you on a list. Don’t say your piece and then block. Just block and party on

I enjoy writing. I primarily write with myself as the main audience. That being said, if you're reading something by an indie author (or partaking in any indie media) and you enjoy it, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, TELL US. We LIVE for comments and gushing and all that. Even an emoji. <3

My audience is one person: me. Readers can take it or leave it

I meant to write about this story and I didn't and I'm sorry. Trans kids have been abandoned by so many people. It's hard to find words for seeing the kids who were our promise for a world where people like us didn't have to have the hard lives most of us had being abandoned life by innocent life.

This is no longer about pond scum. It's about a police state acting like a police state. Outlets like WaPo that "both sides" this and give the WH "theory" credence with ZERO proof are no better than the journalists at Pravada during the Soviet era. It's no longer funny or pathetic. It's scary.

Retvrn to talking about fun shit. Love this. Vinny is a great movie and this era of Pesci is basically an unmatched run of greatness.

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

Your brain was never designed to doomscroll this much.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Fascists and racists are liars, by definition. Their ideology is based on lies and they depend on lies to maintain power. Always assume that anything Trump or any lackey in his regime says is a lie.

I apologize I was really hoping to get through the weekend w/out sharing this again, but the brackets for the Window A/Cs for the living room have disappeared, they are like $20 so if anyone can help out as my parents absolutely can't be in this heat any longer I would super appreciate it!

I'm recovering very slowly from open heart surgery that totally replaced my aorta and my aortic valve and gave me a pacemaker. I was able to already buy my daughter @nyxthenephalem.bsky.social her required greyhound tickets but she's going to need meals and lyft rides to her appointments such as HS

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

Microsoft had $80 billion to piss up a wall on AI investment, and I don't want this fact lost when we're talking about studio closures, they had obscene amounts of money to throw at slop machines.

Happy Weekend! Still trying to raise the remaining $275 to get my new tires & brakes. I can't work until they're replaced. Please help this disabled queer trans artist & gig worker? I'm medically complicated & can't work right now b/c my car is unsafe to drive. 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ #MutualAid CshApp/Vnmo: foxrook
