I went somewhere tonight.

Hey. You know how the AI grift has been teetering on the brink of financial collapse and taking the whole economy with it?

Well.

Guess what all those AI slop data centers run on.

Diesel generators.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

San Diego County flags to be lowered in recognition of ICE-related deaths in Minnesota San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Terra Lawson-Remer Sunday ordered all County and U.S. flags to be lowered to half- staff on County property in recognition of the lives lost in Minnesota at...

All flags in San Diego County have been ordered to fly half-staff through Wednesday in solidarity with Minnesota, and in honor of those murdered by ICE. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

This would be an excellent, succinct script with which to call and leave a message for our representatives

DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

A much-liked post by Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com with the titles “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student” and the caption “They don’t want to get blamed again“

A joke for the history buffs:

Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

The two great consistencies in life are that people will both disappoint you AND amaze you. Rarely the same people but sometimes.

Len was such a wonderful human being. Really heartbroken. RIP.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?” The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

To be fair, it sounded better in the original German.

It turns out - and as an experienced Covid patient I can tell you - having bronchitis on top of Covid really is much, much worse.

It’s amazing how little they seem to plan out even one chess move ahead.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Almost every piece of television I wrote takes place in the Westphalia-Verse. It’s a point of personal pride.
