thats a wrap on video games as a hobby folks, we need to use the entire world’s supply of RAM and processors for the email summary and plagiarism machine

Literally every aspect of this is just intolerable of course, but I want to take a moment to laugh at how after all these years we’re still stuck with that stupid zoom in/out thing AI does.

Can I suggest not even watching it just to hate on it?

Look at the sky. Appreciate colors and sounds. The world is so fast, but slowing down and appreciating what's around you is much better. Eat slowly, *taste* your food, see art (don't just look). Be quiet, be still. Memorize what the moment feels like when things are cozy and you're happy.

SMH, all these people joking about famed Norway detective Harry Hole as if Michael Fassbender didn't play him back in 2017. We've been making fun of Harry Hole for years!

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

As he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free

Portrait of a man named Pretti is one of the best things @liberalcurrents.com has published. Bringing the anger and emotion the moment deserves.

You know, say what you will about C. S. Lewis, but his idea of “The purer the evil, the more miserable and pathetic, because knowingly casting aside virtue is an inherently diminishing and self-destructive act” has not aged a day. The Minneapolis protesters? Virtuous. ICE & CBP? Unvirtuous.

Giving up on a horror movie podcast because the people didn’t recognize Jeffrey Combs and just called him a discount Clint Howard.

A friend of mine recently admitted to me they had a serious fear of grammar, I tried to console them, but they ran out of the room screaming! I don't know what happened, all I did was pat them on the shoulder and say "there, their, they're"

Nobody can take my love of this away.

There's blood in the water, keep biting.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

Spit It Out Already!!! 🐀🤣 #dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e

NEW: One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE. Tobin says the “lawless organization” is a “machinery of death.” This marks the first time a senior Church leader has called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

The actress portraying Kamen Rider Eins is Amane Tensho. Her father is Hiroshi Fujioka, the 1st Kamen Rider. Her brother Maito Fujioka was a rider too. She is a master martial artist so she's probably performing many of the stunts herself Super dorks may also know Hiroshi Fujioka as Segata Sanshiro

I put my new comic up on itch! $8 for a 34-page horror story! On Halloween night in 1994, two teenagers and their bully walk into a stranger's basement, and discover an uncomfortable secret about a girl they know. You can read it here: keezyyoung.itch.io/its-bitter

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Current writing plans. Spend the rest of January finishing a short story. February, write draft 2 of new furry murder mystery whodunnit. March and April, write draft of Heraldale Saga Vol. 1.

Important history I didn't know about until now!

Patch alert! He must have made a New Year’s resolution to swim laps to lose weight. Made it across and back twice. Keep at it, bud.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

She stood tall to her last, gathering her breath as she took in the distant sight of her beloveds. Shun. Nessa. Laura. Kanti. When they saw her, they ran for her, calling her name. Holly watched them come, putting all her furious, aching love into her last smile. "Don't cry, my loves."

Markiplier doing a blood drive campaign to help fight a national blood shortage, and using his upcoming movie to help spread the word about it, is a very good use of his time. More of that and less of Mr. Beast, please.

You’re not going to like this. There is a good reason to watch the videos. The regime is already making up enormous lies about the murder. There is power in knowing you trust the evidence of your own senses. It is a power the regime, like all tyrants, actively works to undermine.

you can make the world a better place by leaving a nice comment on that art you just scrolled past. it seems so inconsequential but it brings artists so much joy to read our work made enough of an impression on you that you took the time to say something.

Now watching: Masters of the Universe

I know I can throw a small to moderate amount of money at mutual aid funds and similar but the fact that's all i can do kind of chafes. (where to send? check www.standwithminnesota.com)

This looks way up my alley. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hhI...

Art!

I did it. In a project that has taken me since mid-October of last year, I have gone through with a mechanical pencil and by hand marked revisions for the Wolf-Lord anniversary rerelease. A brief break from it the rest of the month, and then in February I write it.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

music is a miracle. there is no moment in history that music was invented. it was created by every culture independently of one another, and when those cultures met, they were like "oh, you invented this, too?" i've read that it's an example of a "cultural universal" but i like "music is a miracle"

The nature of death is that you're not going to see the end of some things, the world keeps going without you in it. That's one of the major wellsprings of grief, not a particularized phenomenon that an individual author is responsible for!

Nothing brings a friend group together like Murder. 🎨: @deegeemin.bsky.social

utterly OBSESSED with this song rn

Wrote about what it takes for grown men in tactical gear, working under the blessing of the federal government, to ambush a 5-year-old kid in a bunny hat and a Spidey backpack who only wanted to come home from school defector.com/how-do-you-j...

Immigration is a lot like disability or snap or unemployment benefits People remember how it worked in like 1982 and think that’s how it still works now It’s like Clinton and Reagan never happened

This is delightful

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.
