This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

Artist Wefail has created an image of Trump devouring America in a reimagination of Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son. Goya’s painting is one of a group of 14 works known as the Black Paintings, which were created during a period of extreme psychological distress. /1

Come on, Starmer. It’s time. We need to mend those EU bridges, and this particular American administration just needs to lose our number.

Support human art. Support the plurality of voices. Trans rights are human rights. We are all in this together.

Resist what you know is wrong.

Perfect image for this moment -- Pete Hegseth wasted millions of dollars flying military leaders from across the globe to hear him blather about gender-neutral physical fitness standards and appearance, and the chryon in the corner notes the government is about to shut down.

Jimmy Kimmel: “You almost have to feel sorry for him. He did his best to cancel me. Instead he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow

Comedians are a comfort and he can’t silence all of us. The ridicule must go deeper. Bruise and swell him from the inside. Thicken those ankles until they burst.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman.

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.
Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
