This is a really good article, and as an inveterate shitposter, I keep asking where the adults are.

I don’t *want* to be protesting! I don’t *want* to be arrested for standing up to oppression!! I want a boring government that works and takes care of everyone and I can go be stupid online!!!

I have a theory www.theverge.com/policy/79849...

American politics has devolved into shitposting and aura farming

The Frog is owning the president.

On the way home from the barn I heard a This American Life piece by a guy who had an AI clone of himself call his friends to have conversations and I would just like to state now that if anyone ever does this to me, we will no longer be friends. WTF is this world where we outsource all interaction?

Oh wait! This might be a setting I put in to stop a bot attack problem I was having. What location are you coming from?

At what point does it give the error? Shopify upgraded something yesterday and it seemed to work when I tested it, but that might just be because I was logged in.

ELRIC AT THE FORGE OF FOREVER (2019)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 14 ½” x 6 ½”

When I tossed out the old container of paints used to do the cover painting for WORDS OF RADIANCE, it landed upside down in my wastebasket on a piece of paperboard I had been using as a palette for something else. 1/2

Elric stands on an outcrop of rock with skulls at his feet. He wears a black hooded cloak trimmed in gold and jeweled bracers. He cradles Stormbringer as the length of the runesword, glowing purple, extends well above his head. Below him water spills frothy onto the shore but as it stretches back, placid and glassy, it gives way to erupting vents of lava.

Here's a fun idea: presidential immunity goes away.

"Ann! Then when presidents do crime, they can be prosecuted!"

Uh, yes. Ideally so. That's the goal.

"But what if a liberal president does crime?!"

Then they get prosecuted.

Build a fucking president's jail. Use the ballroom money.

When we live through difficult times it can be easy to succumb to despair, to see nothing but darkness on the horizon. But one day, in happier times, songs will be sung of those who persevered. Strive to be sung about as one who brought hope, as one who carried light over that horizon.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 1d

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 4d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

I've taken the time to track more than a dozen ICE claims about officers being assaulted through the eventual dismissal of the charges, every single time, when video evidence proves ICE was lying. Their lies are relentless.

NPR @npr.org · 1d

ICE claims assaults on its officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claim assaults on their officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

A book in ebook and paperback formats is displayed on a blue background. The cover shows two White men in vintage suits, one tall and blond with glasses, one shorter with dark hair. They are looking at one another. The blond man is holding a book with veins growing on the cover. Behind them in an old fashioned town with fireworks exploding overhead. Cover text reads: Rath & Rune 4, Unbroken, a novel of widdershins, Jordan L. Hawk. The imagine text against the blue background reads Unbroken, Rath & Rune 4, coming October 17, 2025, www.jordanlhawk.com. Smaller text with a list of tropes surround the books with arrows pointing to them: Librarians, Evil book, family secrets, Consentacles.
