I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

She’s completely covered right now, and I’m not disturbing the Blanket Wizard, so here’s an older pic of her. She does this without any assistance from us.

Our black miniature pinscher mix Bailey. She is laying under a Spider-Man blanket, covered except for her head, which is laying on a couch pillow as she contemplates life’s purpose. Namely, coziness.

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

On Saturday mornings, when my anxious dog doesn’t have to be in the crate at all, she hops up in the couch after breakfast and wraps herself in her Spider-Man blanket, fully disappearing for a big nap. She is truly the avatar of the weekend. Be like Bailey. Eat and then sleep in.

Look.
The frogs work.
The frogs are brilliant.

Are they shitposting?
Abso-fucking-lutely.

But you gotta make the other guy feel so stupidly ridiculous.
You gotta make him wake up, every morning, and go 'Today, I gotta lay out an inflatable frog' and experience the worst kind of existential dread.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

Again, Trump has crossed a Red Line no president has ever crossed: personally ordering the criminal prosecution of an American he doesn't like despite DOJ not finding evidence of any crime.

If Trump can do this to the powerful, he can do it to you. That's not freedom, and its not America.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

Letitia James is a former public defender and public advocate. She's spent most of her career on the side of the marginalized and underprivileged. And let's be honest: Trump is attacking her because he doesn't want Black women in positions of authority in this country.

Hey, I'm working on a pitch/essay research at the moment:

Anybody playing Hades 2 with time in early access - could you tell me things you experienced in early access that can't be experienced now its complete?

They can be boss fights, character moments, or personal victories/losses.

Thanks 😊

150+ EA hours. It was interesting seeing characters without their full art. Whether it was an incomplete sketch that developed over time or just a black void as a placeholder. Which, incidentally, was EXTREMELY funny when you met Narcissus for the first time.

Oh the American Catholic Bishops don't wanna get "into the political fray." What a refreshing change THAT would be.

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 3d

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

“I was struck at the beginning (of the video), it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which I think is so much. I think it’s so important that we as a church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what’s going on in so many cities in the United States right now. At least the church cannot be silent,” the pope told the El Pasoans, according to a video of the meeting provided to El Paso Matters by Hope Border Institute.

Seitz responded: “You’ve spoken very strongly. We’re trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.”

Pope Leo told Seitz that he’d like to see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops become more vocal on immigration issues.

“I mean, even within the conference, there are challenges. That’s one place they should be … I wish they were stronger in their own voice,” Leo said, adding that Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the conference, should speak out more on immigration.

“There’s been some good movement in that sense, but I certainly intend to continue to encourage” U.S. bishops to address immigration, Leo said.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
