When I am supreme leader I will begin a program to humanely euthanize all avid readers of cozy christmas themed fiction or James Patterson

I love interacting with white suburbia, where me saying I take the bus to work is met with the kind of reaction normally reserved for the announcement of a terminal illness

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

I'm sure this is totally fine and cool

Is this anything?

writing it "f*ck" sickens me. a coward's curse. say fuck or find a different word. get that nasty starfish asshole out of my sight

It’s probably bad that this has thousands of like, right? Like it’s concerning that somebody is saying they believe griffins “still exist somewhere” and people are agreeing. That’s bad right

One of the most important political messages on the internet.

I find the relentless sanitization of "cozy" everything to be related to the use of A/I. One is outsourcing all thinking, the other is removing the possibility of thinking.

Obviously I agree with everything here about "Cozy" fiction sanitizing the real world, but the point about the TSA created in the shadow of the war on terror stands out especially. Declare seems to revel in not knowing or caring about the past, which is exactly the scary part of "Cozyfying" reality

Esnupi

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Time for me to once again plug that I have a Ko-Fi. I post reprints of my fiction there and I have an author's preferred text ebook of my novelette "Over Still Waters." ko-fi.com/bensernagrey #sffauthors #ko-fi

Made a lil guy before bedtime

The audacity of people who pretend that everything that's going on now came down to a vote is astonishing. It ignores the culpability of BOTH parties in setting the precedents currently being weaponized by fascism. It's like nothing ever happened, and all was well with the world before 2025.

I'm playing bass for sound of music ALL WEEK and while overall I think it's held up pretty well, if I went to a party and this rich fucker had his battalion of children sing and dance and I had to watch and be polite I would later come back and chuck pipe bombs into that mansion

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I really wish the office for intellectual freedom wasn't so enamored with this fence sitting both sides bullshit as if there wasn't currently a coordinated effort from rightwing groups like moms for liberty and the like to completely gut the ability for anyone to freely access information and lit

People who shrieked at me for criticizing Obama at "a time like this": if you can't see the direct line running from Bush through Obama to this then you are not fit to comment on breakfast, let alone people's political posts.

IMO every publication and every publisher should have a clear statement about their generative AI policy. To dictate what is acceptable writer usage, yes, but also to declare their own usage (or lack thereof). Do they use it for slushreading, editing, illustration, correspondence?

Mr. Beast should be replaced with Mr. Bean. People would be better off watching Mr. Bean accidentally put his watch into a sandwich.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Time to resurface this. This administration is going to come for any American, who does not support their views. They will target you and they will punish you. And they will use the TikTok acquisition, socials, and your charitable donations to identify you. Protect your donors.

When I was little I went to cartooning camp a couple times and really enjoyed it, but my mom for whatever reason decided not to send me anymore (I think it's because one day we drew mickey mouse and she has a toddler's understanding of principals and morals) Anyway I'm an adult and there's youtube

The little man himself

I know they're inherently a bunch of reactionary braindead weenies but I remain baffled by the fact that an escalator stopping is somehow worthy of multiple days of news coverage and a call for military retaliation

I am old enough to remember when even plenty of liberals talked about ICE and Homeland Security this way, how even the terms were creepily police state and surely the next Dem president would roll it back. Then the Obama administration expanded it, so they accepted it. And here we are.

This shit was good af

On one hand I'm in a good union part time library job and I'm getting asked to play way more music than at any point in my life, a lot of it paid. On the other hand, about 25% of the time I don't feel ....real? Or like I don't really exist?

On the street, it's got a dozen names. Some call 'em White Devils. Simple, classic. Some cats call 'em The Levelers, 'cause they take you from a 10 on the pain scale down to a zero. Smooths you right out. You call it Tylenol. I call it death.

Friends! My husband is a wonderful artist who wants to spread the cause!

What we're living through is the result of 100 years of treating conservatism like it was anything better than fascism biding its time.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

a forums poster one told me that if not for the possibility of innocent people being convicted, he would see the situation of prisoners constantly being raped as "ideal," and I think that's when i fully realized we must abolish prisons because Americans will never oppose the torture of ""bad guys""

We won’t get any funds if we don’t reach our goal in the next 4 days. For the love of speculative fiction, horror stories, weird fiction, dark fantasy, magical realism, fantastique, slipstream, science fiction, alltopias, everypunk—back us so we can bring you more stories in 2026! kck.st/4mIkEm1

It’s not too late to chip in. If you can’t right now, that’s okay, just share the post so more people can see it.

I've spent a lot of my life surrounded by people obsessed with the idea of speaking truth to power but unable to reckon with the fact that if all you do is speak then power will continue unobstructed

september 23, 2025: donald trump dies of congestive heart failure in the oval office october 9, 2025: republicans pass a bill allowing an AI simulacrum to stand in for a deceased president for the rest of their term, with three democrat senators also voting yes

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

so, CA already did something like EO-14321 at newsom’s direction, but now we also have a federal order to institutionalize “undesirable” people these “clearings” find. gavin newsom is an amoral opportunist only interested in his own advancement. this is who he is behind his little tweets.

When I am governor of California, one of the most honored positions in our culture will be the guards around the well in which the evil Gavin Newsom has been sealed away for 1000 years

i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not

I dunno let me try: Gavin Newsom once climbed Mt. Everest in 15 minutes, he’d have done it faster but for 14 of those minutes he was throwing away the possessions of a homeless person
