The random object head generator lives!! nyoom.neocities.org/objecthead.h... It's assembled from ~200 public domain images and generates a random object head character, PLUS descriptive text so it's accessible :B (plus if u screenshot it the alt text is already written)

What the actual fuck

Today we (@propublica.org) published this map of every location with an active 287(g) agreement with ICE. (with the help of @tituslegaldesign.com's initial data analysis). Read the story: "The Small-Town Cop Who Helped ICE Deport His Ingram, Texas, Neighbors" www.propublica.org/article/depo...

Girls who use the terminal will be like "you can just do that in the terminal"

Let's share some tamarind and orange soda cake with blood orange icing and pour libations to proper citations.

Below is the response I received from the Calgary Opera, by the way:

FORCE HIM TO VETO EVERYTHING! PASS THE HELP PEOPLE NEED AND MAKE HIM DENY IT TO THEM! THEN TELL THE GOTTDAMMED STORY EVERYWHERE! THE PLAY’S THE THING TO CATCH THE CONSCIENCE OF THE KING!

i had rye bread (and good rye bread) for the first time this month. turns out it's pretty tasty

im contemplating whether some people watch msnow for 2+ hours and feel like that's activism

No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

New from me. Talked to @sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com about his game Die on this Hill and it's uncanny resemblance to a new game from Jackbox, Debate and Switch

Bran Wisps (1968-circa 1970): Thin, crispy, light, toasted bran "curls". This cereal was released almost two decades before "bran mania" swept across the U.S., as General Mills believed that Americans desired more "easily digestible cereals"

This baby is not chipped! Trying to find her owner, but will need a foster in the NYC area (can’t have her in my apartment, already at the pet limit). She’s around 4 to 5 years old, staffy mix (I think with pug). A little skittish, but very sweet and silly. Please signal boost!

i think it's very stupid they're making foldable phones that aren't just clamshell style again or DS double screen style (also clamshell)

"Why don't you go to the bathroom in more survival games?" is a joke that came up during our podcast over the summer. I reached out to developers about it, and their answers were complicated and fascinating, from spiraling design issues to the deeper meaning behind where to put the toilet

anthropic's exploding lol it went public, we find out the company's debts are like $650 billion dollars. It's valuation was based on like a ton of IOUs. a week ago those IOU holders were selling them off. in china right now, the bubble is very much popping and $450 billion vanished overnight. hm

Anyway, read my book, it's fun! And the cover layout means that link previews always crop to center Mickey's butt, which is delightful to me

Organized fandoms act as volunteer pinkertons, and while the creeps enforcing fascist visions are in actuality a tiny minority of most fandoms, loving a of particular franchise/character produces a political ambivalence that often leans towards compliance with corporate aims over artistic ones

In my book I argue that IP fandoms are a crucial part of the economic model of the current media monopoly landscape, as fan campaigns drive down the value of creative labor via harassment and disposability, scare artists from taking risks with IP, and give execs a direct fan base all their own

i took down my old post because of a spelling error, which is less embarrassing than losing the election and immediately having your passport confiscated because you are being prosecuted for massive corruption. i hope Jair and Flavio grow old together in whatever prison hospital has the worst food

*Long sigh* Yeah it seems like this is exactly what's up, actually. This new "NaNoWriMo" 2.0 is AI all the way. prowritingaid.com/novel-november Their website tries *real* hard not to mention AI, but then you catch stuff like, "...ran it through Plot Analysis" and yeah that's kind of a giveaway.

Politics hits different when you're an "issue" instead of a citizen

getting taken on a walk

We published this story late Friday afternoon amid an avalanche of news so I’m reposting it now because Kohen Wiley’s life mattered more than a box of diapers.

sorry i need to publicly be a hater for a second but what do you mean the giant 230k+ signature save mass effect petition is only about the IP and not the devs that were laid off

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Also the US has never had free & fair elections for everyone, and if this is your first time worrying about it, welcome to the party! Fortunately lots of people have been here for decades and know what to do, if you are ready to listen!

Every few weeks some cynical edgelord who wants to feel More Sophisticated And Leftist than I am will tell me that I've seen the last free & fair election in this country, and my sweet summer child. We have not even seen the first yet.

A lot of people need to slow down and acknowledge to themselves that they're afraid, and this is affecting how they are interacting with other people. You have to acknowledge the reality of your feelings, or you won't control how they shape your behavior.

Your work is not bullying or yelling at the same people the right is targeting, unless you're a fucking fascist.

Not everyone should be satisfied with what's on offer right now. There has to be a bigger horizon than what anyone's going to get out of the midterms. Stop telling people to shut up about their rights. It helps no one. Do your work, whatever that is right now.
