I set up a pair of Aroeve HEPA+UV filters at my Gen Con Indy booth, positioned so that the intakes face the madding crowd and the filtered & baked output blows sort of down the length of the table, creating an airwall. 80,000 attendees, I have gotten sick zero times since starting this.

Read this as an American woman and then go break something.

Landlord lawyer just now: "The purpose of an apartment lease isn't to give housing to people who used to be homeless. It's not to get homeless people off the streets. It's to reward people who have earned the right to live in my client's building." I may break something.

@wbur.org and ProPublica found that as many as 47 states allow more time to charge rapes or similar assaults of adults than Massachusetts, where attempts to lengthen the statute of limitations have failed every session since 2011. (Published Sept. 2025)

I missed this ruling in September during our CBP occupation. In Florida, if you are being held hostage, it’s ok for police to say fuck it just kill everyone.

but did you know, that all of the Earth's VHS tapes from the 80s will one day demagnetize, making anything not backed up lost media in the next 10 to 15 years?

Money buys impunity.

I think the thing that makes Kamala most likely to win is if she was the nominee for longer than 100 days and if she was allowed to more meaningfully separate herself from the incumbent on multiple fronts (or better yet if she was the incumbent)

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Was just thinking it'd been too long so I needed to find this today.... and there's the fantabulous @infamousfiddler.bsky.social taking care again 💙💙💙

My house numbers next to the front door have cracked. And I've never had any in the back on the alleyway. I would like to get two matching sets, and I'd like them to be interesting and made by an artist instead of just grabbing something from home depot. Open to Commission. Any artists do outdoor?

This is straight up murder. It’s incredibly vile that the US government is committing mass murder in our name. It’s a very short step from these atrocities to murdering US citizens with the same transparently false excuse.

Speaking of someone who should have access to fentanyl for chronic pain but can't get it, it's important that we be very careful how we frame the issue. US made medical fentanyl also enables pain control in people allergic to opiates, and is the strongest available painkiller for extreme trauma.

BREAKING: CDC rescinds “flared base” recommendation, saying users should be able to go to the ER to have objects removed if they wish. “This administration will not be cowed by woke rhetoric about what is and isn’t safe to insert in your anus.” —RFK on NPR this morning

as usual this did not work, nor did "do something you want to do only slightly less than you don't want to do the thing", but "take your ADHD meds and finish the five-minute task you've been procrastinating on all day" remains undefeated as a tactic

Paywalled, here's a freebie. Never heard of him, just his toys. Guy lived an amazingly full-throttle life. Biked coast to coast at 59. Completed a 135 mile Arctic trek at 69. Was a pilot until he was 90. Met his wife of 50 years when they were in an eastern european folk-dance troupe.

Kendra Bird’s daughter Brie has stage four cancer. She received a message from an oncologist saying that Brie shouldn’t receive any more blood transfusions because blood is to “save a life, not prolong the inevitable” This is eugenics. Sick & disabled people are not expendable!

This man did a photo opp of himself destroying homeless people's last possessions.

On January 1, Illinois begins to regulate employer use of AI, making it a civil rights violation to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, or other employment terms and requiring notice of AI use. #AIBillofRights

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

The Trump administration, which has railed against what it describes as "woke" policies, removed MLK Day and Juneteenth from next year's list of fare-exempt days for visitors at dozens of national parks. n.pr/48oR7tq

This is the artist who made the brilliant Hebrew calligraphy Portland frog, et al.

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature; Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

The trio of octogenarian nuns gained global fame after fleeing their care home and breaking into their former convent.

There is no medical reason what so ever. It is an obstruction to timely healthcare, and forced people out of the legal time period for abortion, at home here in Ireland. #Abortionishealthcare #Spéirgorm #repealedthe8th

So so so many, but one that comes up more frequently than you might think is Yes YES The tiger is out

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

The Ideal - James Fenton This is where I came from. I passed this way. This should not be shameful Or hard to say. A self is a self. It is not a screen. A person should respect What he has been. This is my past Which I shall not discard. This is the ideal. This is hard.

“Don’t replace the culture war with class war” is such a fun way of saying, “Please don’t unionize, I just bought a yacht that parks inside another yacht.”

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

Tonight's therapy craft was a little bit of holiday taxidermy.

I love this line

these people aren’t “visionaries” they’re drunken blackjack players with a self-replenishing pile of chips and a bunch of sycophantic dopes saying shit like “splitting 10s is genius sir”

This. 100%. Even the Georgians and Victorians, those infamously brutal eras with too much of a penchant for capital punishment, didn’t execute smugglers without a trial, and mostly didn’t execute with one. (Transportation or impressment was more common.)

He did something so heinous that the Vulcans felt he passed, but nobody would ever serve with him.

The second time I ever pitched Trek, it was just pre-pandemic, and it was the “Crime World of the Federation” show. A heist and con team led by a Starfleet reject - the only man ever to legitimately beat the Kobiyashi Maru. The team really liked it, but it plainly did not fit into the strategy.
