Goddammit you guys I just want to do my dumb little shitposts and selfies with a bunch of strangers who also want to do dumb little shitpost and selfies. Why is this so hard

what if we all went goblin mode

I said what I said.

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW: (Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122 (Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831 Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336 I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

What in the actual Qyburn fuck is going on here?

Just found out Future Ruins is cancelled. Man, I was really looking forward to that

That red brick building is Funston Elementary. They are gassing kids in their classrooms

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

i think the disconnect with the bluesky team and the userbase is that the userbase, the people who occupy this place, think of bluesky as purely a twitter alternative and the bluesky team thinks of it as purely a coding foundation for others build off of

Kristi Noem's on the roof at Broadview surrounded by snipers and Kat is still out there demanding to see what horrific conditions are going on inside.

the thing about Taylor Swift is that nine inch nails is touring again in 2026

Illinois is not a photo opportunity or warzone, it’s a sovereign state where our people deserve rights, respect, and answers.

@poorquentyn.bsky.social HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMETT!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳

Is the BBC reporting real? 3 people were killed in a terrorist attack yesterday and Greater Manchester Police killed 2 of them? Am I reading that correctly?

You only needed to look at the overwhelming success of stuff like Libs of TikTok, a crowdsourced campaign to get teachers fired for the crime of being gay on social media, to see this. But it seems that for lots of media types, it's only real cancel culture if it's people like them losing their jobs

If you can believe it,

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

just going to keep posting this exchange between Andor and Nemik for the entirety of the Trump Administration, however long that ends up being, or until I’m dead

If you follow AI, you've heard a number of cognitive scientists weigh in with valuable insights and concerns. You may not have heard from one quite like Hagen Blix, however, who describes generative AI as "class warfare through enshittification." My interview with @hagenblix.bsky.social:

Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

I'm mad about a lot of things (ha! ha!) but the sheer number of journalists who wrote "There are no plans to implement Project 2025" under the grounds of "well, Trump says there aren't, so..." and still have jobs is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up there

WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

Memorizing this

I was in a work meeting where someone said something about how they were brought up and they’re just fine, and I couldn’t contain myself from saying “just because you had it bad doesn’t mean we can’t do better” I don’t think they were happy with me after that

My nephew who is 13 pushed back against one of his uncles saying this to him. He said “why aren’t you angrier and fighting for the world to be fairer then?” And you know what, he is absolutely right.

“We’re not Nazis! we’re just masked secret police who pull everyone out of their apartments to harass them and kidnap undesirables”

Gillian Anderson 🚨NEW via IG🚨

This was basically my approach when I wrote my novel in college

maybe the reason these fucking nazi pieces of shit don't get the respect they want is because everyone can see that they suck shit at everything!

happy sigourney weaver pumpkin photoshoot day to all who celebrate

It won’t save you, Jimmy. He still hates you.

My dream (of seeing the Larry Bishop scene in 70mm) is about to come true variety.com/2025/film/ne...

that’s probably alright

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

some of us wake up and feel the tradition of all dead generations weighing on our living minds like a nightmare, actually

When you are totally out of ideas

The more you learn about how things work in the world the more you feel like you must be missing something because it can't possibly be that stupid. Oh so all we need to avoid an economic crash is for the stock market to go up forever? And a third of the market is magic beans? I see,

“There’s artificial intelligence, and there’s actual intelligence.”

tired: the government has shut down WIRED: the government shut down and federal workers are being told to blame democrats for it

we absolutely live in year zero these days, we’re just missing the giant hand coming down from the sky

love the front page of hud dot gov right now funny to me that the party in control of the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch are blaming the not terribly radical party who is not in charge of anything on official government websites

happy halloween
