American Nuremberg Trials for every single one of these depraved brownshirts and the depraved individuals giving them their orders.

There will be a fucking reckoning of some form or fashion. Bet.

"The Subtle Art of Folding Space" by John Chu

I am very happy to say that I just finished reading:

• #TheSubtleArtofFoldingSpace by @johnchu.bsky.social / #JohnChu

and it was absolutely brilliant.

Yes, I have just done a naked forward roll. But there was a good reason Adrian Chiles

Opinion Homes I've no fewer than 17 wooden spoons. But I have a favourite and I'd miss it for ever if it went missing Adrian Chiles

Here's What It Will Take For The Next President To Reverse Everything Trump Has Renamed For Himself How soon can we change it back to 'The Kennedy Center'?

When Trump is out of office, we're changing all the federal building names back, right?

My job is very stationary. I stay home and make comics. But then from time to time I get to go out, do cons or a tour of schools or whatever, and connect myself and my job to the rest of humanity.

And it was REALLY hard having that taken away from me for so long.

I had an essential job so had to deal with people stuck at home looking for excuses to be indoors publicly.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

This is so much worse than just honorably disbanding the organization

Has anyone done a proper deep study of what reading a book actually involves, psychologically, neurologically and so on? Because it occurs to me that quite a lot of AI/creative initiatives are premised on a rather limited understanding of what that interaction actually looks like.

it’s self-promotion in the guise of a lifehack, a way of saying my time is very valuable, shaving a bit of lead time to the airport is worth the occasional hundreds of dollars in change fees.

I'm starting to get the sense that referendums in Alberta are performative exercises instead of ways to resolve policy disputes.

I, personally, am here for discovery

Kash Patel's lawsuit against The Atlantic has been filed.

All else aside, it confirms this: Kash Patel was locked out of the FBI system on Friday, April 10.

The lockout set off a flurry of inquires to the FBI/DOJ/WH about whether Patel had been fired.

Emotions are neither right nor wrong, but they can be informative

If being around someone always makes you feel good, that's something to pay attention to. If doing a certain thing makes you tighten up, that tells you something else.

Emotions are a type of information

What alien languages can teach us about human language: The linguistics of The Three-Body Problem Imagine if every word you thought could be heard by everyone around you. In this world, thinking would be the same as communicating. What would language—and society—be like?
