It’s not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community. This is what he does to change the subject. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Hell yeah @rianjohnson.bsky.social (reposting with alt text)

Still an issue with Ko-Fi. I get a number of dono's for random amounts from suspicious accounts in foreign currency. If I do nothing they are flagged as fraud on PayPals side. If I refund because it set my Spidey sense off, you can see the amount refunded is more than the amount paid. Be careful.

"what the fuck do they know" is the only question running through my head right now, especially since folks started acting real wild not long after the MRI that Trump doesn't know why he had

Thread but also just don't tell Paypal anything. No "what is this for" you both know what it's for. If you send a friend some money for dinner or something and you say "for friday night", even odds they get banned as a sex worker.

Please keep in mind we absolutely do not have to hand it to Chinese Weather Balloon Jewish Space Lasers.

I made a miscalculation on my transport so I'm $40 short on picking up my ride for my weekend call shifts starting in an hour, if anyone can hit up my ko-fi.

DM: The orange fascist lurks in his lair, hunched behind his massive desk, revelling in his stolen power. His acolytes hiss at you as you approach. What does your human bard do -- MAMDANI: Active perception check. DM: ...that's a natural 20 MAMDANI: Let's fucking go. <FLUTE TRILL>

BTW, apropos of absolutely *nothing* happening today: want to see a certain classic cartoon containing a Valkyrie-ish bunny and a Siegfried-ish hunter character? Here’s a good clean transfer of it. https://dduane.tumblr.com/post/731918697497804800/for-those-of-you-who-havent-viewed-whats-opera

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.

When a customer service rep gives me some chatgpt overly polite garbage response, I don’t feel supported, I feel frustrated.

New from my distributor I foolishly read on this, my supposed week off. @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social does a lot of library business. I'm dreading that January statement. Gang, if you have ever wanted an Iron Circus title, now would be a wonderful time for you to grab one. 💀 store.ironcircus.com

Google is so embedded in the LLM grift it got rid of basic features that haven’t needed LLMs for many years, unless users agree to have their private emails fed into their bs generator to spit out on anyone’s output.

Once again, this is adorable and very informative 🧪

I have never felt so seen I will scream an ear off about the tyranny of bloodless, joyless, rote hyperrealism for HOURS

Ink, Paper, Repeat: Why Gen Z Won’t Let Stationery Die Digital natives are flocking to fountain pens, pastel notebooks and manga-inspired planners from São Paulo’s Liberdade to NYC k pen shows, forcing legacy brands to reinvent themselves for a surprisingly analog future.

Judge me all you want but those giant pumpkin pies are amazing. You can freeze pieces and enjoy pie for weeks!

Life comes at you pretty fast

everyone correctly noting that any time you put Trump in a room with someone charismatic he becomes extremely complimentary until someone reminds him he hates that person, take a bow he’ll be posting unhinged shit about Zohran again by tomorrow

I honestly think more red states are like this than folks realize and for real, given our most recent electoral results, GOP reps have to be stress-puking at the idea of making their margins ANY SMALLER AT ALL.

Aye! ✋

A San Francisco designer fell in love with the typeface on an old Muni streetcar. She tracked down the man who created it to build the city’s newest font.

Another great way to support the work I do that ALSO gets you access to my work including exclusives like The Cornuta Agreement, my Afrofuturist my retelling of The People Could Fly is bopping over to my ko-fi.

"Evaluation of nearly 20,000 photos found "a clear reduction in snout length" in urban raccoons compared to their rural cousins - a physical shift consistent with the early stages of domestication seen in cats and dogs. 🦝 www.bbc.com/news/article...

I do not want to create an account for a one-time purchase. Yes, I want a bag. Yes, I want a receipt, printed out, not emailed or texted. No, I will not download your app for future weak discounts. Please just let me be a customer like it’s 1987

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

Abolish ICE. Deny all those who worked for them any honors or employment in government ever again.

I’ve had a lot of good advice from teachers, but my archival processing professor told me “It can be perfect, or it can be done. It cannot be both.” And that has really stuck with me!

It's not Christmas until we see Hans Gruber falling off the Nakatomi Tower.

If you think your friend group doesn’t have one, please consider YOU may be the entity.

He forgot the part where you hire a specialized firm to place questionable bulk orders of multiple copies at NYT Bestsellers List-reporting stores. That's how all his GOP friends land on bestseller lists, with "this is a suspicious entry reliant on bulk order sales" daggers next to the titles. (†)

it can be overwhelming HOW beautiful existence is but dang does it feel nice to resonate in that space when youre lucky enough to catch hold of it. when you randomly touch the current behind everything. you KNOW its back there but all you get is glimpses when you notice the way light shines on water

Today, the California coast we cherish and the delicate ocean ecosystems just beyond it face a renewed threat from offshore drilling. We oppose the Trump Administration’s 5-year oil and gas leasing program and will continue to defend our coastline, wildlife, economy, and health from this threat.

Google can keep 'em. I'll manage without.

It is Transgender Day of Remembrance, which honours the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. I miss you, my siblings.

What I honestly find depressing is all that money and energy against trans athletes when the coach accused of raping multiple people is just *there* (I know why, easier to demonize the oppressed rather than challenge the patriarchy).

Yes!! This! We must take a long view on how research impacts society, not pull our heads into our shell and put blinders on. #science

Picard travel tip: Bring a book.

This racist monster isn't even pretending to talk about citizenship here any longer - he's celebrating foreign-born people losing work REGARDLESS of citizenship. The Republican Party under Trump is a blatantly white supremacist institution and no Republican deserves your vote.
