ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE re:the horror show demolition of the WH East Wing 🧵 (thx to bsky.app/profile/cali... ) SUMMARY: they rushed through demo during shutdown with zero permits, probably grift for Trump (ofc) but there are two major concerns (beyond obvious horror) & a few actions you can take: 1/n

I've compiled a list of folks you can contact: bsky.app/profile/susa...

Demolishing the East Wing without doing ANY OF THE THINGS associated with it is bad. Private companies subverting the very concept of democratically responsive action because they paid for it is horrific.

I am going to be sending angry paper letters to all the donors on the Trump list saying "why did you pay to demolish the historic White House East Wing without taxpayer consent?" not because I think this is the most important thing, but...

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence” when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it. @eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome. My @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/49bOcVC

Nooooooooope! Nope nope nope nope nope nope!!!!!

Division 5 has been officially removed from GC. I cannot, in good faith, support this platform anymore, and have made a Discord announcement about what happened. Division 5 comic will continue to be available on platforms NamiComi & Tapas, as they do not allow AI usage with comics in their ToS.

GlobalComix utilized AI usage with my comic and other creator’s comics. They created promo videos to showcase the comics, but used AI in the process of creating them. The videos were sloppy. And overall, the “summaries” were inaccurate, which misrepresented what the comics are actually about.

You ever think about how the start of colonialism and globalization was just people constantly walking right into the middle of somebody else’s movie

Not excusing Platner: let's block that now. BUT Seeing a lot of self-righteous posts about how they would NEVER get a tattoo just because it looked cool and without knowing the meaning... Do you know how many people I see daily with kanji tattoos they can't read? It is SUPER common.

There was already a *lot* going on with Bluesky, and now it's under even more pressure. I wrote about how I think about moderation, affordances, expectations, human needs, and powerful trolls for @techpolicypress.bsky.social www.techpolicy.press/trump-admini...

Everything is better in dinosaur shapes, it is known

Yeah IDK Mom the shoe-moving ghost is back again. Something needs to be done about that. Also, I notice this one is damaged a little bit. Please don’t read anything into it if I poop out a little bit of half-digested leather, later.

I think part of the problem here is: if a full-throated nazi WAS trying to infiltrate the progressive left, this is exactly how it would look. Yes, including the part where they "forgot" to get rid of their nazi tattoo, because nazis are overconfident and not smart. So I think the well is poisoned.

As the attempted cover job pivots to "but how did they find this shit, HMMM?", I feel it's a good time to remind you that internet privacy is as thin as tissue paper, anonymity isn't much better, and a determined, skillful investigator with anything resembling resources can puncture both, easily.

Denver international airport has wandering therapy dog handler teams, and they have trading cards - and i just met one on his first day, before his rookie card even drops. His name is Kramer, and he's a massive brindle dane, and a sweetheart.

The Democrats absolutely NEED to pick up Collins' seat in the midterms. They need to hold every current seat and add 4 more, and not many Republicans are vulnerable. Sabato has 2currently R toss-up seats (including Collins) and 2 Dem, with 2 "lean Dem" seats needing to be held and 1 "lean R"

I'm so tired of the mainstream media and pundit class being innocent little babies that have never heard of white nationalist semiotics until *just now*.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

You can change your mind upon the discovery of new information

New, from me: until recently there was strong bipartisan consensus that a nonpartisan civil service was good and that politicization was bad. Now views are more divided, with Republicans aligning with the pro-politicization actions of Trump. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-has-...

(Tattoo artists are, as a whole, *incredibly* up on extremism symbols and emerging dogwhistles; as I said in another subthread, if I can't tell if a thing is an emerging dogwhistle, I will often go look at tattoo message boards because they know their shit incredibly well.)

Good news, everyone. The second-to-last chapter of THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK has landed in my inbox.

On opening night of the Vancouver Writer’s FestivaI, I was with seven other authors where we were given the prompt to talk about being a Canadian now under this new pressure from tariffs and talks of annexation by the US. Everyone spoke powerfully. (Cont’d)

it’s almost halloween, you know what that means!!! “carving pumpkins?” “haunted house tours?” “scary movies?” (crumpling up a piece of paper that says “make the paprika chicken what made jonathan harker go mad”) yeah that’s what i meant

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular." Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect." Do y'all hear yourselves?!

One issue microbloggling social media causes is that you can make one quick thought in the span of under 300 characters, and people will think that's the entirety of everything you think, know, and believe about the topic you're discussing and address you as such.

such a wonderful event last night with my true buckaroo @olivieblake.bsky.social to celebrate her new book GIRL DINNER. vromans is fantastic bookstore and the place was packed. what a great way to kick off her tour. GIRL DINNER IS OUT NOW

MAGFest ain’t happening for me, but Anime Weekend Atlanta still is if you’re attending that.

Assuming these idiots have even READ Tolkien they sure as shit don't understand it cause: Tech being used to block out the stars is basically the complete antithesis of everything Tolkien stood for.

Hey team I know we got taken for yet another ride but the primary is still ages away so can we stop doubling down on this guy? It’s okay to back the wrong guy when we don’t know what he is, but once we learn, let’s just…not.

Random observation from Pokemon Z-A: It's kind of fucked up that they have anti-homeless benches everywhere in Lumiose City.

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.
