ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Washington State residents: they’re trying to pull online age verification bullshittery here too. This bill would require people to upload their ID/credit card to view online adult content. You can complain to your reps here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

Did I have a reason for doing this? Maybe? Do the colors mean anything? Maybe? Did I have fun? Oh yeah!

"Fallout is among the very few big-IP shows that are sticking to tight pre-production and filming schedules, with S2 arriving only a year and a half after S1. For comparison, we're still waiting for SW Ahsoka's second season on Disney Plus; the first set of episodes came out during summer 2023." 🤷‍♂️

Time to crash into the night. Sweet Dreams, America! #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/muUZjovOFRg?...

Hey, I'm sure we all know that these days feel tougher for most of us, and while that may be true, that doesn't mean we can't help spread a bit of positivity where we can. So, if you're reading this, know I'm proud of you for whatever you've done and faced. Stand strong, you've come this far✊

Remember what anti-intellectuals have taken from us.

Where are the “tips for getting through it” now, people?!

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Chapter 3 of Is It Wrong To Fall In Love With A Reclusive Wizard In A Sky Palace? is now available to the public. www.scribblehub.com/series/21020...

I realise it was a monumental failure. But a lot of us bought Anthem, and tomorrow its just going to be unplayable. We bought a product and its being taken from us without a refund, or recompense in anyway. This is what Stop Killing Games was for. If buying isnt owning, then piracy isnt stealing.

“We must not forget that the fascism that killed her is misogynistic to its core. And men like Ross, who will murder the women who dare not to be afraid of them, have seldom been more empowered, more vengeful, or more dangerous.” Powerful piece @katemanne.bsky.social

Morning.

I really had no words, so I’m grateful Amana Gorman gave us some good ones. Her poem continues into the first comment by the way, in case you feel left hanging, like I did until I saw that.

I’m not so sure about this macOS Tahoe 26.2 update. There’s no mention of updated security, and this ‘Apple Intelligence features, along with delightful ways to work across your devices…’ sounds a little creepy for some reason. I’m gonna pass for now.

I just discovered Open Dyslexic font and OMG it is changing my life! I’ve never been diagnosed with dyslexia, but I struggle with reading and often get audiobooks to help me along. But while some audiobooks are great, many destroy the intimacy of the reading experience for me.

In a new Anime Spotlight, "Hell's Paradise" is an underappreciated gem: a surprisingly philosophical exploration of a group of complex characters searching for immortality on a mysterious island, but finding much more #HellsParadise

It's sale season again and Volume Two has its deepest discount yet! Under ten bucks waow that's a lot of nun for none money

I suppose it could mean I’ll seek therapy this year. 🫣

Every time someone says "I can't write X, editors will never buy it" an angel loses its wings Those shining adamantine feathers, sharper than death, slice all creatures in their path to molecule-thin ribbons, blood raining down onto acres of land rendered poisonous for decades. So maybe reconsider

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate 🎄! I hope Santa was good to you 😉 TY to everyone who commented in my last post. I promise I’ll respond, but I’ve been busy prepping food and wrapping last minute gifts 😅. “Serene birches”; mixed media on canvas; 2024. Sold #art #landscape #nature #painting

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant read by David Horovich is just what I needed to hear tonight. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

Glutamate is the primary molecule that neurons use to communicate with each other. Previously, scientists have mostly recorded when neurons fire output signals, but now with a new glutamate indicator, they can record the many inputs that causes cells to fire. 🧵 #neuroskyence

I got my copy today! So happy 😁

Here's Andrew Johnson's impeachment resolution text, in the handwriting of Rep John Covode, who introduced it (later modified to add the words "while in office"). This was voted on and resulted in Johnson's impeachment. Articles came after. Trump Imp 3.0 could be done in days.

Finished reading @oroboro.itch.io 's new book today, and it's wonderful. Highly recommended for anybody who likes sapphic romance that's both cute and dramatic, couldn't put it down. Normally I don't even read romance, but Beatrice is such a good #writer I made an exception. #booksky

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

Another alien in my yard. I think this is a Desmiphora fasciculata, a species of longhorn beetle. At @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica #bugsky #nature #insects

Every day (or night), I find a new insect at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica. Tonight it's this spectacular Macromantis nicaraguae mantid hiding under a fern, waiting for an unsuspecting insect to wander by. #bugsky #insects #nature

I strongly second this rec:

So Say We All! Battlestar Galactica - the reboot - is 22 today!

These Pygmy Fruit-eating Bats are another one of my neighbors here at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica They cut along the midrib of banana leaves to make them collapse into a protected little house. And then they cuddle with each other and wonder why this strange man is looking at them. #bats

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Thoughts on a rainy Monday morning! It’s never too late to learn something new- and it usually opens you up to new pathways in the things you know well.
