Indeed. It brought to my mind the display, at the Jewish Museum in Prague, of pictures drawn by children in the Terezín Ghetto/Camp. www.jewishmuseum.cz/en/collectio...

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Contrary to popular belief there are some things in the US still that aren't total garbage and SF at peak magnolia bloom is a big one

TIL there is a tool that searches the Epstein files for your LinkedIn contacts so you can, uh, act accordingly! www.tiktok.com/@404.media/v...

Like many parents I am obsessed with Bluey. It's so good, so beautiful, well-written, creative, fun. It feels high quality in a way so many shows don't. TIL the sound designer Dan Brumm goes to playgrounds to capture real sounds of the actual equipment being shown: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z6h...

In a world overrun with unregulated, vampiric technology, it is a radical act to continue doing creative work, and to mentor and hire human illustrators, photographers, writers — creatives. In a survey of 10,000 creatives, 99% say their work was scraped without consent. www.ism.org/brave-new-wo...

no better summation of America's unrepentant rape culture than that one of the biggest stories of the last decade is about the abuse of women and girls and every single stakeholder working on it couldn't give less of a shit about the actual victims of the story

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Keep filming. Keep the files. You'll want them for the trials. Don't lose hope. One day, there will be trials.

This will never stop being funny

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Random discovery today, this artist Daria Fedorova aka Dasha Plesen, who works with mold and bacteria to create amazing living compositions. Insane, obsessed. "Using different supplements she combines microbiological practice with art phenomena." dashaplesen.com

There's something so poetic about the ants, gathered here, in the little maple syrup handprint that my daughter left on the kitchen counter. I feel sad as I murder them, as I think to myself, at least they die happy.

I grew up hearing about this story, it was the bedrock of my family's antigovernment narrative, the story that made me a hostile teenage libertarian. Where are the patriots now?

Are there tools made by women to give male characters smaller, gentler hands, more expressive, kinder faces, and cuddlier dad-bods? As well as women wearing comfortable clothes that drape rather than cling like plastic wrap?

""AI" means erasure, epistemic erasure – all writing, all images, all sounds, all expression squeezed towards the middle, the mundane, the Man. AI is a silencing; "AI" is genocidal." 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/days-gone-by/

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Just walked out of a cinema screening of the first 3 episodes of Twin Peaks S1. What is incredibly wonderful transporting work of art that show is. It's so good it reminds you that art itself is worth making.

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

The difference between companies that only serve investors and companies that serve customers

"She'd be hot except for her personality" -some boy at my high school Then, it felt like an insult, now a badge of honor 😆

Ahhh the level to which I wanted to BE HER when I was a child

Are you kidding me, no market interest? This is the type of book we need desperately, right now, we need people to be reading it and discussing it at work, we need people to be reading it and discussing it at school. High schools, middle schools, and college.

Signal boost! Artists get in here

Interesting given that one of the most popular use cases I hear being pushed for genAI is "creative brainstorming" and "quick ideation"

Instead of pretending that the hours of labor and love women pour into the holidays is irrelevant and frivolous, how about you.....DO MORE and also, say thanks because she is definitely doing more than you are, dude. 😘💅 zawn.substack.com/p/gaslightin...

Design nerd post: What are your favorite favicons? I want to see examples!

If you asked your dead grandmother if she wanted to have her corpse made into a ghoulish sock puppet forever, would she ask, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

In a sane world this would be illegal discrimination.

No no no. No this is not it. Young artists and storytellers need support, encouragement, training, community. They do not need "AI tools."

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

A billowy white of giving up and just submitting to the relentless scream of fascism and capitalism A lofty white that serves as a symbol of rising white supremacy A softly empty white of dying brains wiped of original thoughts by overuse of LLM chatbots A cold lonely white echoing in the Void

Funny story, apropos of absolutely nothing, I remember once sincerely blurting out "WE LIVE IN HELL" to my doctor in answer to "How have you been doing?" ... they referred me to a psychiatrist

Once you see the pattern in media of framing structural problems as individual & personal moral failings, you can't un-see it. "Device hoarding"? You mean, taking care of your things and expecting to use items for a long time? We needed a new & sinister term for this? www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h...

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Goodness me, I stayed up late reading and it’s already Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day. Hope you’ve all been good this year!

We don't have to settle for the genAI slop future. We don't have to allow rapacious tech execs to destroy our industries, our joy, our creativity. It's not inevitable, no matter what they tell you. We get to choose. The whole talk is wonderful and moving. Some key lines are quoted in the thread.

When I see arguments about whether mental health problems are caused by trauma or neurotype or society or brain chemistry I feel like I'm watching two people have a fist fight over whether Kermit is a Muppet or a frog. Multiple things can be the case simultaneously. One does not negate the others.

My favorite thing as a writer is when I start ranting about something on Bluesky, get it all out of my system, and then turn it into a real piece of writing. On that note: hey, it’s me, heckling centrist Dems in the New Republic! newrepublic.com/article/2023...
