I’ve received a report from anonymous active duty personnel in Texas that the Texas National Guard will be moving out nationwide to ICE Protest sites, possibly in civilian gear, and changing their unit patches to hide origins.

Full report here:

Congress already passed a law to ensure that the hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers will receive back pay when the shutdown concludes.

Trump and his team of billionaire sellouts cannot change that.

Remember what is at stake here: affordable health care.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

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.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

I reviewed DEAD MAIL, a frankly astounding little thriller about loneliness, music, analog systems, and the exploitation of Black musicians by their white managers and collaborators.

My three-year-old niece has taken a great interest in watching people drink beverages, and there is nothing quite as surreal as sipping iced coffee while a tiny little person stares at you asking, "Another sip? It's good? You drink it now? Drinking? More sips?"

My sister showed my niece (2.5yo) a picture of Shelob in an illustrated kids' version of Lord of the Rings and my niece whispered "I love her" and kissed the picture, if you were wondering how strong our genes are

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.
