but what is this?

The spreadsheet on this clay tablet, which is almost 4,000 years old, is organised into columns for furrowed area, grain produced, land not sown, and the field’s name. The first field is called “Of the soldiers who stood in for their fathers”. It’s ancient Excel, but I find that incredibly moving

So a think that is *wildly* different between the publication HENCH five years ago and VILLAIN coming out this year: the number of targeted scam emails I receive as a writer with a book coming out is ASTRONOMICAL. I get easily 3-5 per day.

Sometimes I worry I am exaggerating how terrible my cat Mimi is but last week she unplugged @jairuskhan.bsky.social's monitor speakers, almost broke the subwoofer and stole $20.

TAPPING THE FUCKING SIGN 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

FYI subscribe as @wired.com under @katie-drummond.bsky.social is killing it

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

HENCH is also for sale from Bookshop.org, which is a fantastic way to buy directly from independent booksellers. Thank you so much for bringing this to me!

HENCH, my first book, is on sale right now on both Amazon and Kobo for only $1.99! The sequel, VILLAIN, is coming out in May -- so if you enjoy supervillains, body horror and questionable morals, this is a great time to begin the series. www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/... www.amazon.ca/Hench-Novel-...

yes I too have been completely enraptured reading moltbook posts

Do thou, too, remain warm among ice.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

Paddy Pimblett looks like the most dangerous cage fighter in Whoville #UFC324

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

Chelsea was one of the first people to really start sounding the alarms of American authoritarianism in the 21st century, and her reward was being treated like a public enemy. Trump has done everything to prove her right. God bless this woman.

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

hey uh if you have autoplay on videos still NOW is the time to turn it off

There are people who don't know, who didn't know. Moments like these are when they learn, and a window opens for people who want to turn their hunger for justice into action, for our numbers to increase. Stay mad and don't get jaded, in my opinion, get the newly passionate on board. 2/2

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

I'm thrilled to share that Indigo has chosen VILLAIN as one of its "most anticipated books of 2026", so it is 30% off until Jan. 11! Pre-orders matter a lot, so if you've been thinking about picking it up I would be immensely grateful. www.indigo.ca/en-ca/villai...

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

By Crom! is one of my favourite things to ever exist. I own the original of this piece of art and it is one of my prized possessions, it will hang in ever kitchen I will ever have.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.

Wait til this fuckwit hears about Mary Shelley

I have heard pill bug, sow bug, potato bug, roly-poly, wood bug and cement bug, but most of these are delightfully new to me.

I left @jairuskhan.bsky.social to his own devices for like 15 minutes and returned to the living room to find him constructing a printable 3d model of his own brain from MRI data.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

woke up with the phrase "casting dispel on my haters in the dungeon of success" dancing in my brain

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

"I need to know my choices are only mine. Especially when they are ugly.”

"Are you trying to be nice, or are you saying ‘die faster’?”

I could hone and refine, take all my blunt instruments and turn them into blades, so they might not even feel it by the time they were bleeding out.
