Before you are two doors. Behind one is limitless wealth, and behind the other is a tiger. This is a conundrum because you fucking love petting tigers.

Another fun fact: If "Mr. Brightside" were a person, it would be old enough to go to a bar and drink and belt out "Mr. Brightside."

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

A shirt design/illustration of a robot. The robot's head is a laptop showing a row of three blank white figures in suits. A speech balloon is coming from the figures, it says "$". In one hand the robot wields a police club, in the other it clutches a large canvas bag that has ripped open at the back from the amount of sheer amount of objects crammed into it. From the broken bag flows a large pile of artworks of varying types, in a rainbow of colors. The text reads "AI IS NOT ALIVE, AI IS NOT INTELLIGENT, AI IS ART THEFT" and underneath "BY AND FOR BILLIONAIRES".

OK one last shirt design, this one I just made because I personally wanted a shirt that said all this but couldn't find it anywhere. www.bonfire.com/ai-is-theft

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

Oops! Should have double checked which post you were replying to. 😂 That one is THE FORGOTTEN WOOD. I think you might have already read it! (Time travel.)

This is my death on the Oregon trail novel based on my family. I’ve been editing it for AGES (because it’s so incredibly sad.) Tomorrow it’ll be in the hands of my agent. FINGERS CROSSED!!

Seven written and tucked away. One is my favorite MS ever. So it goes.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

I miss the country I thought I lived in when I thought it was just a pee tape.

Alt text and I’m crying.

Don't ignore what is happening by any means, but don't feel bad for watching sports or movies, talking about joyful things, attending concerts, going to museums - ALL this stuff is *also* resistance.

Finding joy, enjoying culture, uplifting events and community - none of it is frivolous or surplus to what we need. It *is* what we need. It's what we needed when fighting fascism the first time round, and it's what we need now.

We can't live on News alone or it will overwhelm us.

I'm really sick of the "we have to be realistic" people who think that being realistic is bargaining with Kristi Noem and Donald Trump about how many people they get to shoot.

They've already said their answer is anyone they want, unconstrained by the law.

Wandered out to Bellvue Hill today. Peaceful and cold. When I came home the news was awful for a million reasons. I am just so exhausted by the world right now.

Yup

Me, every time someone tries to convince me how great AI is:

Yes but also you’d have to imagine China had been your longtime ally and friendly neighbour to really get the Canadian vibe

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.
