If you're firing pepper balls at a guy in a giant frog costume do you even have the kind of self-awareness and capacity for introspection required to wonder what went wrong with your life?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Texas National Guard troops arriving in Chicago (via ABC News)

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

The Constitutional crisis you've been waiting for is here.

The right moment to speak up—that moment of clarity you've been waiting for—that's here too.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 16h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

It is deeply hilarious when alt-right idiots think that they won't ban anime. Are you KIDDING ME? It's full of jiggly tits, loli and things conservatives don't understand (and if they don't understand it they want to see it destroyed).

Oh and it's viewed as Satanic by Christian Nationalists

Just a reminder that I have a video up this week about Banned Book Week

They Started Banning Books. Now They’re Banning Everything Else.

So far I don't hate the NBC/Peacock NBA coverage. T-Mac and Melo seem really comfortable, and they are letting the studio stuff breathe.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Thinking about Bret Hart. Assuming the Goldberg kick doesn't happen, and WCW still closes the way it does. How does his career finish if he is in control of his own destiny?
