Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

normally i say everyone mourns in their own way but Erika Kirk isn’t allowed back in the country of Romania & i think it’s really weird many journalists didn’t talk about this
look up why Erikkka Kirk isn’t allowed in Romania.
in 2008 Erika Kirk, then known as Erika Frantzve, was involved with an org in Romania called “Children’s Relief International” that was allegedly trafficking children.

Correct: there is absolutely no way to perform "age assurance" without deanonymizing every visitor to the website either through biometrics or ID collection. Also, these bills do absolutely nothing to "rein in Big Tech". Big Tech *loves* them.

The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception – a myth propagated by a punditry vying for relevance, hellbent on presenting grandiose reckonings and sweeping narratives rather than careful empirical assessments.
Overall, we have tallied 4x more protests through Jan 31, 2026 than we had through Jan 31, 2018

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Dude I met him like 10 years ago at a convention. I was in a cosplay of Lord Dominator from Wander Over Yonder that I'd made myself, and he immediately asked all about it- the construction, how I did it, and cheerfully called me innovative- biggest compliment of my life
In addition to lending us his talents on-screen, Trace Beaulieu will be art director for MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments!

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Great historical perspective. A key piece of resistance is capturing images.

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.
Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

I have no idea where “the nazis learned everything they knew about bigotry from Americans” came from but it is a particularly delusional form of American exceptionalism
