WOMP WOMP :)

big love to all my former profs who signed on here <3

Another data point indicating that Polymarket is not a “prediction market” but a public persuasion operation—here it spreads disinformation about Minnesota and DHS signals boosts the disinformation:

on the robert indiana of it all, it's very funny how this arced out. in 2018 when the estate drama was all going down, the lawyer who tried to keep control of the estate filed, successfully (!!), a registration for indiana's USA FUN. i assume because he was flat broke and grasping at straws.

god now im just on a copyright review board opinion kick, some of these are so good. sorry but you can't copyright a snow globe with the work fuck in it :/ www.copyright.gov/rulings-fili...

why’s is everyone nostalgic for 2016 are you crazy

ICE murdered a Cuban man at a concentration camp on American soil built and staffed using our tax dollars

Jesus. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

oh I'm cooked? I'm washed? well joke's on you. cooking and washing are important household chores and I take them as a compliment.

When you're Fere, you're Hamily <3

kind of an essential read if you care about collective knowledge. I don't agree with all the solutions put forth but our collective information ecosystem is reaching a breaking point because of changing habits and accelerating AI use. something has to change: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

this reminded me of the guy who tried to get a copyright registration for the little metal hook he broke off the end of a tape measure, as a work of sculpture. incredible stuff, genuinely. www.copyright.gov/rulings-fili...

Mind-boggling stuff: ICE has detained 4 Oglala men and is apparently demanding the Lakota--a nation of the continent's original inhabitants--“enter into an immigration agreement with ICE." www.twincities.com/2026/01/13/i...

hitting the pen, thinking

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

They see themselves as an occupying army with the mission of oppressing and destroying our people

“He walked downstairs to pick up the food and was taken by ICE. They took him and they left my baby in the apartment, all alone." www.nj.com/morris/2026/...

ICE abducted and injured (bruised cheek) a 1-year old who is the daughter of a US citizen detained as part of a Kavanaugh Stop.

I'm sorry they ran off with the kid's phone and sold it to one of those machines in the supermarket?

this, driving a person to suicide because they had the temerity to want to work in public service, is what russ vought hoped to accomplish

“She also claimed that the officers did not immediately call paramedics after he was struck, and instead pressed his face into a pool of blood. ‘The other officers were mocking him, saying, You’re going to lose your eye,' she said her nephew told her.” people.com/protester-21...

if anything, we can thank this industry for proving that you can speed-run the entire arc of 20th century discourse on authorship, originality, and, relatedly, copyright, all in under 5 years.

This is why no chase policies are important and it is important to point out the police regulalry violate them. www.washingtoninformer.com/dc-photograp...

lol *finally*

The federal government is now a southern sheriff in 1894 bsky.app/profile/pbum...

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

I drink a lot of sparkling water but I try to buy glass bottles bc they actually get recycled i'm now on interaction #2 where a random passerby is startled by the insanely loud crash of the bottles going into the recycling, turns to me and laughs about "you're really partying, huh?"

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

no actually, random AI salesperson, the assumption in your email that I "probably use AI to create products every day" is not correct, take me off your fucking pitch list

everything scott beardsley does is designed to ingratiate himself to whoever is standing in front of him with a check.

ICE just reported its fourth in-custody death of 2026. It’s only January 10.

Also, its illegal to discuss gender in some American universities now.

i have no problem w clifford ross and i hate to use him as the example here, but i kinda cant believe even the nat gallery is succumbing to "big screen big space big pixels" fever, aka refik anadol syndrome

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

yeah they’re just grabbing random people at bus stops there is absolutely no attempt to even give the pretense that this is about immigration anymore. it is absolutely just a military occupation

The PR flunkies at UVA are doing the bidding of the current MAGA majority on the UVA Board of Visitors, trying their best to sell the guy about to be the shortest-tenured president in school history, Scott Beardsley. #uva #abigailspanberger Story online: augustafreepress.com/news/uva-try...

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

After the killing of Ms Good, Greg Bovino of the CPB led a raid on a Minneapolis HS. An official there said: They don’t care. They’re just animals,” I’ve never seen people behave like this.” All MPLS schools now closed for the week. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is what our government has sent into cities across the country to arrest normal, nonviolent working people. Insanity.

Surreal seeing Trump sweat over the possibility of impeachment, and implore Republicans to win/cheat in the midterms not for any legislative agenda but to avoid getting impeached, while leading Democrats go "oh no, not that" when asked about impeachment in the face egregiously impeachable offenses.

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

"I’m going to pause here just to review: an institution that purports to be a university has told a philosophy professor he is forbidden from teaching Plato." surreal times dailynous.com/2026/01/06/t...

It's important to note that when the White House does things like this to note that Trump's pardons weren't popular—even among Republicans. Most voters know what Jan. 6 really was. This is a conspiracy that is pushed by minority rule. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

"fuck you make me" should be the default position. and it is winning.

we live in hell

guy who was moved to tears by and can't stop talking about the new avatar movie but has never seen the first two films

apropos of nothing, i too would like to drug myself and fall asleep before an opening. mine is more anxiety.

Le Monde nails it. "The return of the US's predatory imperialism." "The US military attack in Caracas, Venezuela, and capture of Nicolas Maduro show that Washington now claims full rights over what it considers its backyard." www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...
