Eternal reminder that no matter how justified your rage and your words may be in isolation... ...posting explicitly about the possibility of enacting violence against federal agents endangers you and everyone in your online orbit. Do. Not. Fedpost.

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

Shane (1953)

1. Does this clip make you want to find out more about our cat Jim and how utterly brilliant he is? 2. Of course it does! 3. Well, I have good news, because you can do exactly that, here: www.tom-cox.com/jim/

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Jokes aside, I just saw the new PBS Dick Van Dyke documentary they made to honor him for his 100th birthday last year and it is excellent. Highly recommend www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

Great to do this long form interview with @skynewsrss.bsky.social We're engaging with Reform voters because they're fed up with the system - and right to be. But instead of more division, we need to invest in communities and stop the super rich screwing us over. youtu.be/MuRccrQ0D88?...

If teachers cannot respect their students/pupils, they should find other employment.

My heart weeps for this poor young guy who just wants basic human dignity. An entire generation of trans youth is being subjected to this; section 28 in a different font, with all the government-approved ostracism, trauma and systemic discrimination that entails.

Richard Attenborough starred in both The Great Escape and Jurassic Park, and that fact doesn’t sit comfortably in my mind. It just doesn’t make sense.

You should read Tom Cox’s work. Then maybe hurl monies at him if you like it. Debit or paper I imagine, hurling coins seems rather less like good-spirited patronage.

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

And the boys (who weren't born yet or were about *three*) who missed the *original* He-Man room, run by the fabulous Art Nadel, would have been HORRIFIED by how female-friendly/feminist the original writing team was. (I should know. My office was down the hall. I drew the first map of Eternia.) 😏

all the dudes bitching about "woke He-Man" should watch the woke He-Man we already got like three year ago, aka the animated Kevin Smith Netflix one about A) the crushing emotional toll that toxic masculinity takes on Adam and B) a squadron of absolutely jacked ladies dominating the whole plot

Depressing post for it, but nice

They-Man is also married to Skeletor, this is canon www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGlg...

real scene from upcoming He-man movie (NOT FAKE):

The fact that this isn’t a joke is both very stupid and very funny

I’m lucky enough to be able to take a break from The Horrors. Spent the day watching classic movies with my folks, it was a lovely day. I hope you’re able to find some time with the people you care about too.

Whilst Stanley Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and Jim Henson’s ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

This is fascinating, I’d love to find a way to be part of this. What a wonderful thing to stumble across

Feast your eyes on pure, unadulterated Culture.

They were told the story of the scorpion and the frog, and at the conclusion were all "lol suck it, stupid frog"

I miss Baggy. He was a wonderfully soppy, affectionate cat. He was too gentle to be an adept hunter; the only thing he ever brought in the house was a live, uninjured frog, which was safely dusted off and replaced in the neighbour's pond.

"I don't do computers; btw I think we should invest heavily in this cryptocurrency the Iranian government is really into"

Oh good, based on this report (suppressed since October, snuck out during another crisis) I get to live to see the end of the world

Just not the appearance you’d expect of Pingu’s voice. It’s like finding out Vyvyan from The Young Ones is a banker

Historically, suggesting the US and its allies engage in this sort of behaviour and that it might offer partial explanation for why conditions are often so grim in countries whose regimes they wish to topple was the kind of thing that got you labelled a crank and an apologist for authoritarianism

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

The only time The Times is going to say, probably accidentally, that the idea that gender identity isn’t innate in children is wrong.

I grew up during the cold war when the right claimed to support liberty, democracy, western alliances, the rule of law and free markets. It turns out that was all bullshit. What they really support is inequality, monopoly and unlimited power for the rich.

Starting to think the more transphobic someone is, the worse they are at smiling, like it hurts them

Weird, almost like this was a manufactured culture war against a powerless scapegoated group over nothing

this is how Guillermo Del Toro makes movies

So, AI is fine if you are trying to create an authoritarian, total surveillance society, but it's a sacking offence if it's used to try and keep people safe from genocide-supporting, rape obsessed football hooligans? RIGHTO!

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

Dear Lincoln Elementary School, Because you denied me the 5th Grade Fire Prevention Poster Design Prize, I can no longer focus purely on not doing arson

Dirigibly yours

We need some new email sign offs: "yours sincerely," and "best wishes," and all those are done. So I'm thinking - clement tidings, - supposedly, - in accordance with the law, - with buyers remorse, - questing after justice, - in the hope of more hooplah, - guessing, - with gentle reminders,

These are excellent but I would like to add -forgetting you immediately -tush and fie -under duress -with little remorse

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

Every time I listen to the music of Sergio Mendes, I can't help thinking of this photo of him and his band with Harrison Ford in 1970, just after Ford had finished building a recording studio in Sergio's back garden. I like to think Mendes later went to see Star Wars & shouted "That's my carpenter!"

Uber Eats driver profile showed a lady who looked like a model earlier. When they showed up it was a different, even more beautiful woman. It was very disorienting

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

The Dutch equivalent of "hip hip hooray" is "hieperdepiep* hoera" *pronounced "heeper de peep" As ever, do with this information what you will

found it, all timer good post combo

This name, for someone advising people to eat more fibre and wholegrain, is really too lazy by the screenwriters, please.
