Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Look at Minnesota. Look at our country. Look at what we’re building. Look to the example of the organizers who are right now at this moment building the movement we want to see. Join them in their work, because they’re fucking winning.

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike. You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

Hey San Diego, let's website together! artlung.com/blog/2026/01... #IndieWeb

I just backed 100 FAQ On Making Comics on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sxb... by @sxbond.bsky.social

Very excited to tell you that you can now order a PRINT copy of my comic, BRAINS, about the beauty of thinking and perceiving, a love letter to the brain and my absolute rejection of so-called AI. I love brains, I just think they're neat. Now available for $15 from @radiatorcomics.bsky.social

I must share these frogs with @alexandragallant.com even though they are on Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DKKzbHkANEE/

DHS this is your communications director speaking. I am advising you today to please keep posting about how everyone hates you.

Today, saw "Aquaplaning" as a pastime in a 1960 #SanDiego transit map. www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet... turns out it was a thing before water skiing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquapla...

The Comics Journal obituary for Scott Adams is a rollercoaster worth reading. www.tcj.com/i-have-no-mo...

Sorry/not sorry for the title I came up with for my Comics Journal Scott Adams obituary. www.tcj.com/i-have-no-mo...

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I'm collecting url patterns for RSS/Atom feeds on websites for some sites. There are other pages which collect these, this is mine. smorgasborg.artlung.com/feed-patterns/ #IndieWeb

I know the "impeach" button seems not to actually work, but we must keep hitting that button and looking into why it doesn't fucking work.

A Blake's 7 remake? What if it's terrible?! Then they'll have nailed it.

My wife & I started our Hop-Along Cassidy marathon tonight after hearing @bobchipman.bsky.social break down the franchise. Now, I’m hardly a fan of Westerns, but yeah, I really can see myself watching 65 more of these (especially w/ Robert Mitchum to look forward to). m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Kc...

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

DHS said the man died while he tried to commit suicide and “violently resisted security staff.” A medical examiner called it “asphyxia due to neck and chest compression.” A witness told the Washpost *on the record* that guards choked him as he said, “no puedo respirar.” Gift link⤵️ wapo.st/49FW4NG

Take it from a respiratory therapist, if you hear someone say “No puedo respirar” and you don’t attempt to ease that suffering or get out of the way to let someone else ease that suffering, you are a monster.

I got to look at the yearbook for my senior year in high school and so I wrote about my feelings about the entry for me. artlung.com/blog/2026/01...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Is there a bad time to listen to Ana Tijoux's 1977? No. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiQ7...

As I somewhat expected 🤷‍♂️ The Algorithm does NOT love a video essay about 100 year-old cowboy movies that doesn't frontload the present-day relativity 🙄 So if anyone wants to help this one find its way to the sources, outlets, forums etc that will boost it we'd be grateful youtu.be/Y4KcKvDer-U?...

Battle of Minnesota. Battle of Minneapolis. In a rational United States these would sound like jokes. I’m not laughing.

Reminder! This month's movie is Alien (1979) and it is hosted by Al Abut. Read the introduction post.

This Movie Exists - "HOPALONG CASSIDY" You might have heard the name. You may have seen the films- there are 66 of them (really!) You don't know the story of WHY Westerns stayed popular generations longer than anyone expected because ONE MAN changed Hollywood history www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Kc...

“ABOLISH ICE” is the moderate position when the institution is an ongoing health danger to folks in the USA.

Anyway, that's yet another BABYLON 5 cast member gone before their time.

One time my dad's friend came over when I was like 11 and I was in the living room just reading a Dilbert anthology cover to cover, and my dad's friend was like "Why are you reading every strip in that Dilbert anthology? You're not laughing at all" and it was like he lifted a curse off me

This is the first time Scott Adams made me laugh.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

There is one good website and it’s Metafilter.

It's an excellent day to remember the time when Scott Adams met Metafilter and learned zero things from it. mefiwiki.com/wiki/Scott_A...

WELCOME BACK DO NOT BEND (seen on a piece of paper mail, but I'm over-interpreting it as positive coping advice)

If you can’t speak plainly you can’t do good.

First of all, good for her for calmly standing her ground and ignoring all the empty threats -- "we're gonna put you in the car and ID you!" -- until these goons give up and slink away. Second, the irony of masked agents of the state with no name plates demanding *other* people identify themselves?

This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.
