Jules has been applying for work for months and having no luck due to AI replacing humans in the hiring and labor parts of the workforce. If you’re able, $5 or $10 will go a long way towards helping her pay for food and meds. www.gofundme.com/f/zqgzdt-hel...

Also, why is 'virtue signaling' bad? Personally I like when people signal their virtues and stand up for their principles, even if it's supposedly futile. A few people standing up despite the futility and suddenly it's not so pointless any more.

A related bummer: I think people are getting so used to living in the panopticon that they don't ask why footage of things exist. Like, who is behind the camera and why was this put online.

A dear friend of mine has written a 10k book and is looking into a self publishing situation, had question for writerly types? "What are we using to format books for print these days? Other than Adobe?" They say it's a little arty, so there's images and quirks. Thanks y'all!

For National Bird Day, take a brief respite from all the horribleness in the news, and read this list of 32 ridiculous made-up bird names. 🦉🦅🦆

Spirited Away is my favorite, and I could probably write a book on why, but I'd need to rewatch to get it right. For some reason (lol) I really related to being a little girl adrift in a world she doesn't understand or know how to navigate, being guided by a few companions, for better and worse.

Literarily, it's the short story Paingod by Harlan Ellison. Musically, it's hard to choose, but probably Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by the Smiths (and I feel bad saying so, since only one of them was awful as far as I know, but he happened to be in front)

ALERT: CSPOA, a pro-paramilitary group with deep ties to insurrectionists and white nationalists is coming to Puyallup, WA. The event features local sheriffs, CSPOA's Richard Mack and QAnon figure Michael Flynn. CSPOA Sheriff Recruitment Drive Coming to Washington State irehr.org/2026/01/05/c...

The people yelling at you on the internet also don't know what to do. That's because these problems are much bigger than individual people. You always have to keep that top of mind & act accordingly. Humility is a virtue.

there's a difference between a deep, abiding rage at injustice and just being angry all the time, at random people when organizing against state violence it's really a matter of safety to cultivate an inner circle of people who are, for the most part, steady and have what it takes to stay engaged

when i say professional approach to movement work i don't mean making your living from it i mean being able to mentally punch in at the Antifa Factory and then punch out when you're done and not get constantly sucked into drama on those 200-person Signal chats that shit will just burn you out

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

hey buddy (someone in the bay area please adopt him!) "Stromboli is a ~2 y/o big boy who was trapped for a TNR project but is way too friendly to be released back outside. He is a sweet young cat who loves pets and attention. He's weighing in at over 14 lbs!" www.petfinder.com/cat/strombol...

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

True in Herman Melville's time; true today. "In this world ... sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers" (from Moby-Dick Ch 9). 🐋

I realize that owls have big sharp claws and could hurt me in many horrible ways. But their fuzzy feathery little feets! So cute!

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

just found a very important video

if you see a taco truck with goku on it, fucking veer into traffic and do an illegal uturn to get there. it will always be the best food youve ever had

Politicians hide themselves away, they only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor, yeah... #music #70's #rock youtu.be/bc5Nk1DXyEY?...

Ishmael came around on the, "No man prefers to sleep two in a bed. In fact, you would a good deal rather not sleep with your own brother," stuff reeeeally quickly. 🐋

Soph has a job interview tomorrow and needs access to the shower in a motel room. 10 people with $10 could fix this for her.

The thing about the "Maduro is a brutal dictator to be sure" caveats is, what does that have to do with anything? Do you think the US military cares if someone is a brutal dictator? Are you nine?

I still get positive emails about it, and people have taught it in classes and even wrote theses about it, but somebody hated it enough to write 800 words about how awful it is. It was very hurtful at the time, but I stand by my initial response. Not every work is for every reader.

Maybe if Oliver North had more than a slap on the wrist back in the late 80s, no one would think this was a good and profitable idea now.

Just realized that Emperor Qin Shi Huang's "Terracotta Army" of clay soldiers he kept in a vault in like 200 BC make him the first Warhammer Guy. he got some disposable income and started painting minis. totally get it

there's still time to get the kids vaccinated

anytime an axios article comes out it's great because you get another cascade of "how can you possibly believe this trash outlet reporting that the democrats are saying and doing the exact same things you've seen them saying and doing your entire life, including right now, in public"

I TOLD YOU BRO. I FUCKIN WARNED YOU DAWG

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Don't get used to this situation. My family in Gaza is still suffering from a lack of food and basic necessities to live with dignity. Your support is what saves us and eases the burden of life on our hearts. Just $50 is enough to make our lives better. Please don't ignore us. 😔🙏 gofund.me/a0a540b8

hey friends i'm back at the hospital i have a bloody stool again and my abdomen is very tender/sore. i can't keep anything down i didn't pay the minimum on the hospital bills as per the agreement (was due on 28th), so they're saying they can't admit me till its a life threatening emergency.

Every imperial power drums up paranoid fears to justify aggression and expansion. If one excuse looks too ridiculous to attempt, another will always be found.

A classic of the art form

Me when people make it about what Maduro has done in the context of a clearly illegal attack motivated by oil.

Reading Chotiner interviews with people who actually know what they're talking about is interesting because you realize his main skill is not "gotchas" but just like, facilitating effective communication. when that runs into someone who's used to dissimulating they get humiliated.

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
