the earth is on fire and the thing about fire is it burns you whether you believe in it or not

[chatbot generates a poop emoji] incredible sign of Intelligence, proof that we have created Life [thousands of lab mice solve mazes, show empathy and metacognition] do they really count though? maybe we should torture them some more

The media cradling the machine: quiet, the machine is sleeping, and I do believe it is dreaming, the little baby, Starving man: oh, but there are actual babies who- Media: gently removing pistol and cocking it while rocking the machine with knees: I said quiet the machine is sleeping, and dreaming

kill the internet microcelebrity in your head

you don't have to tell me about that stencil guy, you never had to tell me about him, I could live five billion years from the dawn of life to the twilight of the sun and never hear his name and it would be alright

posting a banger that isn't in english

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

This one star review of a local convenience store... fair enough

stop dumping your shit on the moon

transhumanists are so excited to stop being human and motherfucker, I have not been allowed to be human my whole life, every day I get forced to be a dumb machine as part of a greater and dumber machine, for fuck's sake all I want is to be a human animal

love the comparison here to F1, the sport where millionaires drive cars funded by billionaires to race around a track in Dubai at an ecological cost that would have come out less if they'd just crashed everyone's private jets together

relieved to learn that fascism has been defeated by a millionaire performance at the superbowl halftime show

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

[pitching the winter olympics] Do you like sports? Well do you like weird niche sports that can only be played in mountains of artificial snow? Well what if there’s a crazy amount of psychotic nationalism on top

I’m kind of weirdly proud of the fact that when you search for my name or for anything I’ve done the first thing that comes up is multiple people speculating that I’m dead

There’s one job I’d be good at and that’s drawing those old comic covers where like Superman is being beaten to death by a prehistoric fish and Lois Lane is in love with the fish, not a dream not an imaginary story Superman’s gonna get killed and/or cucked by this big fish

The moon would be a terrible place to live. It’s cold. There’s no breathable air. It’s got art by Jeff Koons.

hay day

some dumb bad drawings I drew on a train

look if you’re a fan of American football, I’m not gonna say you’re a bad person, but I will say you’ve got bad taste, and that you’re boring, and dumb, and ugly, and a bad person

football is America’s most characteristic national achievement because it manages to be incredibly violent while also being very boring

chicken of the sea

Not only are generations fake, they’re also something we basically invented a few decades ago. Compare when generations occurred (shaded areas) with when we settled on their names. From this week’s newsletter: www.howtoreadthisch.art/ample-exampl...

Another #Groups pic for #Birdoftheday. This is one I've shared before, but this is a different crop. Canada geese goslings being overlooked by a parent, from back in May of this year. #birds #photography

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday where we ask you to share photos, videos & artwork of seabirds to brighten up timelines. Here is my contribution; nesting Kittiwakes with young #SuperSeabirdSunday

so many people want to have conspiracy brain so bad, so many people want to recreate QAnon but Leftist somehow, years of waving around their dogeared copies of Capital and talking about systems and at the first opportunity they go "actually it's twelve guys in a room pulling all the strings"

probably a bad sign that at some point in the last few years the cultural reference point for resistance to tech stopped being any actual historical movement that fought tech but a fictional uprising mentioned in the backstory of Frank Herbert's Dune

Fuck ICE really is the moderate postion [derogatory]

Good morning grouse. Grouse are sitting on my my deck. They really like the sand under the cabin.

Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing. Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror. It's up to us. Just us.

over a year now of just going “well they can’t do that, that’s against the law” while they go ahead and do that

my partner is watching curling but I love them anyway

I don’t think the internet should be banned for anyone. That would be wrong. I think the internet should be blown up, with a bomb

busy sequence at the pine-nut cup feeder. #Birds

why are we bothering with this. why is he bothering this. the whole “is he racist, is he not racist” playing coy thing works some time before you promise to ethnically cleanse the country

listen my new offer is: I will do swears. I am still funding the gestapo and their concentration camps but I will do a swear about it at least once a month

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

"y'all": affected, precious, attempts to establish false sense of familiarity with your audience "you pieces of shit": direct, to the point, accurately and concisely addresses your audience and their concerns

black spiny-tailed iguana

the assumption underpinning all of western life is that we tried everything else and it failed to accomplish the current state of things we enjoy now , perceived as the only true moment to have ever elapsed , collapsing the movement of celestial bodies into a simple failure to create civilization

I would trade every car, every plane, every computer, every dumb piece of tech on earth for like one extra frog

had a horrible nightmare but I forgot it already so now I’ve decided to replace it in my mind with a nice dream, where I was a wombat and I had dug a pleasant burrow

democrats suck, they lie and sell us out all the time, when will people stop falling for it? but this one guy, this guy I've known for three months who's now in charge of the most murderous police force in the country, he's my guy, I like that guy, he just did a cute thing, he like went on a podcast

Civilization, ancient and wicked.
