1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

im reflecting on the use of chatgpt as a therapist or just as a friend and companion… i really think it’s an extension of a broader trend where corporations sell people convenience at the expense of anything and everything that makes life both challenging and meaningful.

some old hannigram

"I may have remarked before that Holmes had, when he liked, a peculiarly ingratiating way with women, and that he very readily established terms of confidence with them." from the Golden Pince-Nez, the Return of Sherlock Holmes

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy. I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together. We need a government that serves the many, not the money. Join in. lewisforleader.ca/ youtu.be/IVy99oiYszY

This country is making me sad and scared but that’s a good excuse to try to do some more good. I’m raising money with this sticker to help support Brave Space Alliance, a black and trans run organization. Community spaces are so important in uncertain times. 100% of profits donated! #bsnm #bugsky

If you boycott Disney, which has been on the BDS list forever, it will cover your Kimmel and your HBO Max boycott...and I say this as someone who loses money when Disney gets boycotted

absolutely harrowing reporting from the guardian as usual. it makes films like The Zone of Interest feel like contemporary documentaries. zionists’ capacity for indifference is staggering youtu.be/nMyyVaiY4V8?...

Lots of quotes rightfully being shared from this article, I'm particularly struck by this one. "In the late 19th century and much of the 20th, this country’s most storied intellectuals transfigured hate-mongers into heroes and ignored their words—just as, right now, some are ignoring Kirk’s."

girl WHYYYYY do people record other people at the club. for any reason. DONT DO IT MAMAAAA

seeds are a big hit with the little guys

The Charlie Kirk discourse feels so insane to me

Julius Streicher, editor of Der Sturmer, would frequently published columns titled "Jewish Crimes" crimes committed by Jewish people was published. On October 16th, 1946 Streicher was executed by hanging for "crimes against humanity" for what later would be classified as "incitement to genocide."

reading hobbes for political science was like pulling teeth out of my skull i was constantly falling asleep bored as hell but the moment i have to do research for gay victorian fanfiction i’m more locked in than i’ve ever been

no i shall not be confronting my inadequacies i shall be on facebook marketplace

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Haven't drawn any pixel art in years, but I wanted to do some last night and ended up drawing my boy Gio

sometimes i be reading chapters of fic i never finished like damnnn this shit is excellent ….wish i could read more 💔

i keep up on immigration discourse and lately i’ve been getting recommendations from this tiny new channel that is shitting out a bunch of anti-migrant propaganda videos with what i’m fairly certain is an AI voiceover and likely even an AI script. viewcounts are small atm but unsettling regardless

Earlier this year, I had a proper re-read of the Holmes canon, which made me realise how much I missed making little comics. I've been posting a weekly page (@ theobservanceoftrifles.tumblr.com) for a few months now, and it's just been lovely to engage with the source material again!

reposted from my ig, thank you everyone who bought a leftover zine!!

chris samnee’s art for batman and robin: year one makes me straightup salivate, his bold and expressive inking and his clever panel work AND THE ADORABLE WAY HE SIMPLIFIES THEIR SHAPE DESIGN it just makes me so crazy. i love comics so much and i’ve missed reading them ugh

this story is a harrowing read for so many reasons but what stands out most in my mind is that this isn’t even a straightforward handmaid’s tale situation between a wealthy man and a disadvantaged woman. staggering wealth inequality has given freak women a historically masculine power-

had a minor argument with a friend tonight where she genuinely believed animation as a medium was only for kids and that all animated things are goofy and dumb 😭 i always heard people like this existed but i couldn’t believe it until i encountered it

im trying to ship something to the US and im finally seeing what fuckass digital infrastructure they've set up to collect tariffs and wouldn't you guess it. it's a goddamn app.

i'm so inspired by the way dan mora draws in general, but especially his nightwing. i don't like to speculate about real people's sexuality, but i can't fathom someone who isn't attracted to men drawing like THIS

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

sherlock holmes! also irene and her husband. and ofc, the spectre of moriarty. this isn't any kind of adaption of the novel canon, this is like....a gritty little crime drama I've been kicking around in my notebooks that starts during watson's honeymoon

im finally watching matthew reeve’s batman and it’s been so long since i’ve seen the dark knight/any live action batman i actually audibly laughed seeing battinson for the first time 😭 then him dropping the “i’m vengeance” line i canttt inherently camp character to me

Please help Hamza and his family 💕💸🍉

now that i think about it, BBC Sherlock did for the popular perception of sherlock holmes what the snyderverse did for batman and superman 😭😭😭 these are all fundamentally kind and good characters and YET

studying for my driver's test is so demeaning. sherlock holmes never had to do this
