Jack Smith was investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the election, and Trump is now prosecuting the former FBI head to settle scores. Apparently, these are equally bad and Smith caused Trump's retribution spree.

Holy shit! Gretzky could never.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

My hot take is that if does not actually matter to Palestine, or to any Indigenous population, what DNA tests show. I'm obviously not an Indigenous person but if my DNA showed I was 96% donkey and 4% tardigrade, it still wouldn't be okay to kill me and take my house.

I am very lucky that I've only ever worked with scientists, engineers, etc., who had deep respect for creative work. Most were creatives themselves - writers, musicians, artists, crafts people. I'm one too - I can't imagine being technical without being creative at the same time.

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

"where's the left media?" "where's fact-checked reporting?" lately @teenvogue.com has run profiles: of Assata Shakur's revolutionary history; a 23-year-old Palestinian journalist; what's happening in Chicago's ICE protests; and organizing supporting LGBTQ+ youth 📍 www.teenvogue.com/news-politics

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Hey all, I'm trying to get a baseline for how good people are at detecting whether fiction is AI-generated or human-written (most of the research on this is for nonfiction and my hypothesis is we're better with fiction). If you have time, give it a try? jlp-experiment.github.io/ai-detection...

refreshing this because certain cis folks are defaulting into using “this person” for trans women they find annoying. that’s a loud euphemism, buds. i want to make it clear that anyone who objects to being referred to that way is doing so because it is established transphobic language.

That's my rep. She's a good egg.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

OTD, the season 1 finale of #StarTrekLowerDecks, "No Small Parts," which made Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis the first Star Trek regular cast members to play the same roles in five different series.

Here we see Stephen Miller (left) explaining to a woman that she'll never get his Lucky Charms

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet. My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

Marmaduke, six, is reported to have been the subject of near constant vocal stimming by Ellie Mulligan, 32. In response, Marmaduke concealed a microphone within his floofy orange trousers, and he is now rich beyond his wildest dreams.

An easy example: Bill Burr Bill Burr’s schtick is that he’s comedy woke uncle. He gave Beyonce so much shit for going to Saudi Arabia over a decade ago & performing at a PRIVATE PARTY for a PRIVATE CITIZEN where she then gave the money to charity. He JUST went over & told yall to die mad about it

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

In case this is too wordy: FREE JEWELRY and/or GLASS CABOCHONS and/or GAME TOKENS for TRANS PEOPLE in the UNITED STATES who can't afford it but would like some. Tomorrow, 9AM Mountain.

The audacity to anthropomorphize machines being built by corporations --stealing data --exploiting the labor of the people who are actually the "undesirables" under eugenic thought --killing the environment, and then compare criticisms of such eugenic practices to, wait for it, eugenics.

My farm-working friend is sure that if a sheep can find a way to kill itself, it will. He places them at the low end of the agricultural intelligence scale, just below barley.

I've written my analysis of today's grim Supreme Court oral argument in the conversion therapy case: As far as the Court's concerned, imaginary medical uncertainty gives states the authority to hurt queer kids, and takes away states' authority to protect them ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/chile...

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection. I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

this guy borrowed a monty python dvd from me in college and refused to give it back. so now whenever he’s in the news doing something shady i’m like “yup, seems about right.”

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Gavin Newsom vetoes gender education bill, declines to sign other trans protections - buff.ly/MTUAV85

FYI, in this same session he hired an Antisemitism coordinator that CA schools have told him is a massive waste of money and will only empower Trump's bullshit. Anyone who believes he's playing 9th dimensional chess and not just a shithead is a moron lol www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

Lookin' for a ttrpg with cryptids? Here's one from @atticus.haus I did art for! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

It's amazing how everyone supporting her seems to forget she wasn't cancelled at all. She quit. And almost immediately was able to launch this new publication. How the hell was she cancelled? Some people criticized shitty takes. That's not being cancelled.

"And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line". www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

This is genuinely some bullshit on bsky's part. A reaction meme of charlie kirk gets a Black person a permanent suspension, but people who actively doxx and spread hate against marginalized people not only get to stay, but het followed by mods? We see you, bsky, and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

I’m glad people are aware of this, but it isn’t new. People in immigration detention were consistently moved away from their attorneys in the Biden admin. We reported on it then, but very few people cared about migrants when they weren’t a partisan tool.

Look as someone who grew up adjacent to the substance abuse space in roughly the same geographic area and time period as JD Vance I'm telling ya right now there weren't no Mexicans involved

Hey @pfrazee.com @jay.bsky.team, whichever mod decided Link’s ban and subsequent upholding was appropriate is a chickenshit coward not worth a bag of piss on a 100 degree day. I would’ve tagged @aaron.bsky.team but he’s probably too busy cranking it to barely legals while on the clock

Beth Hapworth, 32, spent her entire 20s grafting, hustling and girl-bossing her way through her event photography career only to find she now needs to nap for the entirety of her 30s.

did Taylor really post an AI generated promo video for her album. lmao girl come the fuck on

It is both exciting and heartening that a webcomic I've been reading for as long as this one still regularly puts out bangers.

Damn right I back the blue. And by that I mean the United States Postal Service. Even more specifically, the six foot goth girl mail carrier I just saw walking her route.

Damn, dude.

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...
