Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Printed material dated before 2022 is going to be the gold standard for factual research in the near future. Everything after 2024, but especially digital publications, will be suspect.

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court. Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

this is such an important difference. How many people will remember the facts? This is the subtle way the media is shifting the narrative, most of the time in favour of right-wing/bigots.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the outpouring of support. I need to pay rent, and I launched a GoFundMe spot.fund/LahutRentFund

Democrats Sweep 2025 Elections, 2024 Narratives Crumble "Be more anti-immigrant, be more anti-trans, be more positive towards anti-democracy bigots like Charlie Kirk. Not as much as Republicans, but move in that direction, since that’s supposedly where the American people are. Nope." My latest:

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 :)

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

It's a comic artist/illustrator appreciation post. I can't count how many times your stories and art moved me, made me happy or inspired me. You're amazing, hard-working. Knowing that a person did spend a lot of time honing their skills, mostly alone, to bring worlds alive deserves admiration. 1/2

to doom is to die. the right feeds on this. live defiantly in their faces. stand on your beliefs. carry your struggle without shame and people will see themselves. stay true to your beliefs and show people a better world

MSNBC calls NYC for Mamdani

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

I can't believe it's real and not one of the cases from the Ace Attorney.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

In case you don't know the why we are all so into the art of Alan Dodier on his Jerome K Jerome Bloche stories.

Wish that, when my computer gives me a prompt of "Yes" or "No" on "Do you want to use AI to help with this search?" that it would include the obvious 3rd option of, "Absolutely forever NO, never ask me again, I'm driving to your house right now, come out into the driveway and FIGHT ME YOU COWARDS."

they could call it The Pickle I would pay to subscribe

Top 10 leeches in the US. How many elsewhere? They’re traitors to the US but also traitors to the entire world. The wealth they steal and horde should be used to repair the damage they have done to all life on Earth. We need a reset. All wealth over 1 billion to help keep Earth habitable.

All the images I've made for this October art challenge/world building for Viridia. I wanted to do this to see if there was still something I could do with the world of The Thief of Tales. I think the answer is yes :)

Over 10,000 killed within three days. Pools of blood around a hospital so large they could be seen from space. An absolute nightmare.

🚨 EXPLOSIVE NEW investigation: We uncovered previously undisclosed details about an 18-month money laundering investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that took place alongside the 2007 sex crimes probe, according to emails obtained from Epstein's personal Yahoo account 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

Write something. Write it today. Write your heart out. Write something weird that only you would think of. Your enemies will not topple to your silence. Write your future and live it.

Aaaand that’s a month of daily gobelins !! That was a fantastic challenge #floktober2025

I laughed, I cried. I remember having one of these arguments with a relative, about the value of Wikipedia. They decried it, identified it as a threat. I was ambivalent-but-in-favour. Now, though? Haa ha ha ha ha wooo ugh www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/hi-...

This sounds like an amazing project, history of gaming definitely needs an inclusion of opinions and voices from outside US/UK

Boycott Krafton. One wretched decision after another and now this? We have to start sending clearer messages to companies like them. They deserve consequences.

Hey, I know we're all trying to weather an idiotic societal collapse, but do you want to preorder my new book or buy the original cover art drawing? I'm looking for another job(s?) but in the meantime I'm selling off originals to try to keep the lights on.
