Still a Lot of bad going on in the world, personally, locally, and globally, but I am Really trying to hold onto the good of it when and while it's here, too. Not just as a reminder of what to fight for, or whatever, but literally as the fuel to fight with. Pure rage & despair burn out real quick.

Beat Saber is almost 7 years old and still the most satisfying implementation of VR technology of all time.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

statistically a lot of you won’t know about ocellated turkeys, so, here you go

Happy Chompsgiving!

The "reporter" lady fucking sources and running catch and kill ops is a huge part of the issue with journalism but so is the corrupt sack of shit ex who knew about all this and said nothing till he felt personally betrayed and is now tossing out tidbits in planned instalments to have you pay him

The judge said declarations from immigrants showed that ICE “routinely” holds immigrants in freezing temperatures without providing beds, mattresses, pillows or blankets.

yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

If this is true she should never work as a journalist again.

unbelievable behavior from everyone involved here - Nuzzi for doing catch and kill, Lizza for sitting on this shit so he can sell newsletter subscriptions, RFK for existing

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit. All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.

These people don’t understand how artists and writers pour years of their lives into something and stick their necks out creatively, professionally, and personally to do it, sometimes at great personal risk. They truly think you should be able to hit a button and create a book. Fuck them all.

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize

I won't dismiss the possibility that Karoline didn't know this would happen, but the careful wording around the son makes me concerned ice did her and her brother a solid and got rid of the kid's mom.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

You don't have to speak to the FBI. Let your lawyer do the talking.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

Players are roleplaying in Fortnite to teach each other their rights when encountering ICE officials “I would slip [the warrant] under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says. The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.” www.404media.co/ice-defense-...

The sharp decline in US teenagers’ aspiration to get married and have kids… …is happening almost entirely among girls, not boys. At some point maybe men will start trying harder to understand that. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/... | HT @conradhackett.bsky.social @pewresearch.org

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

North Carolina has really shown out. Comrades are telling me that they have gotten 500 to 1000 people out to ICE Watch trainings [with more people wanting to attend].

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

AP: "At least 24 killed and 54 wounded in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, including children." Attacks and bombings continue. The displaced civilians need us as much as ever to survive. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️ chuffed.org/project/1587...

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Twitter had to turn off its location feature within hours because thousands of prominent and "verified" MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign and I think it's hilarious that Elon was the one who exposed them all

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.

Less than a year after the Palisades Fire destroyed 6,822 homes, the first rebuilt home received its certificate of occupancy. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-11-21/first-home-has-been-rebuilt-in-wake-of-palisades-fire?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_

When I talk to students about public speaking or teaching, I always bring this up: Just tell people when you don't know something! It's remarkably powerful b/c it signals to your audience that you know the boundaries of your expertise and they can trust what you DO talk about.

Let's make a deal. If you read it (I did, I'm so sorry) you must send $10 to the independent journalist of your choice.

i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead

Not for nothing but the “bromance” stuff is as made up cope as anything else. I haven’t heard a clip of Mamdani saying anything other than “I appreciated the invitation to discuss things with him” and agreeing that he called him a fascist

The degree to which the Democratic Party is failing to meet this moment is staggering. And INFURIATING, when contrasted with the courage on display from ordinary people with far, far less power & protection.

Again, I don’t want to get too personal but the most tepidly political, structurally vulnerable people in my life were protesting ICE all week. The juxtaposition here is just wild.

must be nice to have options on getting paid to abuse people

In honor of Link, who was banned for the crime of speaking truth to power, I am continuing Fund Me Friday in his stead. The last two Fridays have been delayed due to life stuff, but today I am back on the ball. Post your mutual aid in this thread and I will retweet as long as I am able.

“During the drive to the station, prosecutors say she made statements to officers about immigration enforcement, including, ‘Why are you doing this to your people?’ and ‘What are you going to tell your children about what you do?’”
