The only thing trans people are guilty of is being hot and/or spending too much money on Warhammer figurines.

If you work for ICE, quit now. Your chances for future employment, meaningful friendships, and frankly, not getting shanked in prison are already pretty slim, but if you quit RIGHT NOW you might avoid the worst of what is coming. Especially if you blow some whistles, and then testify.

Fixing your heart is, for us born into our arsenal of privilege in the world's most empire, both a lifelong undertaking requiring discipline, patience, perspective, and good teachers, and a necessary first step toward reclaiming your self. It's our essential duty and our most precious opportunity.

Part of knowing US history is knowing about the genocide of native peoples, the slave trade, the failure of reconstruction, etc. Another part is knowing about John Brown, the IWW, the 1934 San Fransisco General Strike, and others who worked against the above.

I know things can seem bleak. But history shows that standing up to Trump works. Maybe not immediately, but the man is lazy and stupid and craves easy wins. If you make it hard for him, he often moves on, seeking an easier target.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

only thing blue line i recognize 🫡

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike! Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

I agree wholeheartedly. One of my favorite things about living where I do is that when I walk to the nearest grocery store there is a decent chance I will hear three or more languages being spoken by my neighbors along the way. It just feels so much more alive and vital than any homogenous suburb.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

this is genuinely incredible

What I hate most about gen Ai is how it takes away the effort. When I saw art before, I knew that even if it shitty and bad, i could tell that there was someone who worked hard to make it happen. It’s why shit like The Room got popular, because you could see the earnest effort on display.

I don't know how to convey to people that POLICING in the US is experienced by countless Black and brown people in the way that ICE is currently acting towards people.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

stepped outside for a vibe check and saw a beast fuckin hauling ass towards Bethlehem

My capacity for spite is so prodigious that I masturbate while eating corn flakes just in case the ghost of John Harvey Kellogg is watching me.

your very existence is troubling, enraging, and distracting as hell for some of the shittiest people on earth so no, i’m afraid you may not kill yourself rn

There are good journalists out there who grasp that we are living in an emergency moment, at the mercy of serial liars, bigots, and government thugs. They are steady. They are clear-eyed. They understand what is needed. And they have been right exponentially more often than the "calm down" crew.

More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

If being disrespectful to black women is a means to your supposed antifascist end, fuck you and your revolution. How you treat people is who you are.

This is How You Get JARHEAD Sequels youtu.be/i5m-RHS1fU0

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will

‘You Who Wronged’ by Czesław Milosz. For some reason or other this poem came to mind this morning. Written in a time of tyrants: #Poetry

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

listen

Fucking THIS They come like every 2 or 3 years, the studies, and they are always massive successes and then they disappear, the program is never renewed, and everything goes back to normal AND THEN another exactly the same study appears Rinse and repeat.

Sharing the planet with other human beings and thinking that some of them are illegal or whatever is coward shit. Fully just anti-your own species

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement. Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

Look for the helpers. Faced with evil, watch for the decent people standing against it.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

—Things Heard At AGDQ 2026— my favorite semi-yearly tradition is back! ^^ here's a week-long thread of my favorite out-of-context sentence fragments overheard from Games Done Quick hosts, runners and commentators! #AGDQ2026

dentist: you need to avoid crunchy things for a few days me: storygames only, got it

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

Behold: The Goober

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro. But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

Its basically this, over and over and over again.

Well Atrus, I made it to Myst island, despite your directions.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Baby elephants!

We round a corner in the dark sterile halls, and see it. “Luis! This is it. The famed OpenAI server room!“ We approach. We hear a strange, familiar clattering sound. Luis swipes a card and opens the door. Inside are countless typewriters. And behind them… “My god,” I say. “It’s full of monkeys.”

Ireland, you have the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away
