One of the things getting me through this depressive spell is unagi onigiri. So there's that

It's my birthday today so I thought I'd share some of my art 🎨

I don’t pretend to know the science behind it, but it’s an incontrovertible truth that a cabinet full of mismatched mugs is far superior to a cabinet full of matched mugs.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that. Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate. If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.

I'm on track to finally pay off my car! #2025goals #adulting #positivity

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Rolling this old thing out again

As of today, over 10,000 people have died from gun violence in the United States in 2025. I’m tired of how long we’ve let this crisis go unsolved, as if endless loss is just the price of living here—as if nothing can be done to stop it.

Great Job New Mexico! I hope other states follow suit.

So, a warning as there is new genAI trend becoming popular: people are now generating "action figures" of characters, for example their ffxiv OCs. Because those can look quite real aside from some details- be careful of anyone advertising selling custom made figures or the like. #NoToGenAI

The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors

I'm a human rights lawyer. I've worked on countless immigration, asylum, & refugee cases. As the fascist in chief sends ICE and the military to target immigrants in Chicago, here are tangible steps you can take to protect your immigrant neighbors. (No paywall) www.qasimrashid.com/p/how-to-pro...

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

A warm-up line art to help break down my artist block. I want to be brave and ink it next. #pokemon #azurill #art2025

Stay safe, protect the vulnerable, film everything. Don't give them a fucking inch

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

"Protesters are expected to absorb violence but never inflict it—to function as shock absorbers to be acted upon, whose sympathetic value is nullified by any deviation from that standard. This expectation briefly wavered during the...George Floyd protests,...but largely restabilized over time." 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

The Nazi early prohibition on Jews from owning guns has been an NRA talking point for decades.

It feels nice not arguing with random stupid posts on the timeline, BlueSky has better for me mentally so far 🩵

"[James] Cameron is on the board of directors at Stability AI, and is therefore among a group of (generally very wealthy) people who think that using generative AI to replace jobs and depress wages further is the key to saving the mainstream film industry."

So new studies showcase that the more you know how GenAi works, the less likely you are to use it! 😌 This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite! The less you know the more you are likely to use GenAi

I need my 2027 vacation to happen tomorrow, thanks 😊

"Be loud for America", is an astoundingly good rallying call for US citizens to resist the Trump autocratic takeover. Actionable and patriotic. Pritzker sure brings the fire to Democratic resistance.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

A few years ago, Crunchyroll closed RightStuf completely, replacing it with their own Crunchyroll online store. However, in doing so, they failed to renew the deal RightStuf had with Sunrise to distribute Gundam on Blu-Ray, meaning that now basically all Gundam series are out of print

This is the best birthday present!

FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

I find it funny when an animated movie for an original IP that wasn't meant to be a big deal ends up making bank, and then every executive is left wondering how it happened. The answer is then always that the movie had a coherent and well-crafted story, looked cool, and had good music. Every time.

As a near lifelong Chicagoland resident, I remind y’all that Chicago isn’t even top 25 nationwide in violence, the majority of illegal guns here are from IN & WI who have weak gun laws, & Trump is sending the Nat’l Guard to try & intimidate us & normalize military occupation, because he’s a fascist.

i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo

every once in a while i remember that our reality is the shot of a bunch of overwrought headlines at the start of the movie to let you know that things are bad

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

TLDR; it's in our best interest to keep up the pressure on these companies and be as VOCALLY and VISUALLY annoying as possible. The goal for average joes like you and me at this juncture is BRAND DAMAGE. Stay loud, stay annoying, connect their effect on free expression with their brand

keep art human.

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

Anyways, AIDS is going to be gone soon, this is a generic with FDA full approval.

corporations being able to control what kind of art we're allowed to see on the internet is bad

I missed the part where blowing hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on gaudy, unnecessary White House upgrades counts as “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Or did we just drop that whole narrative?
