everything about the attempt to co-opt the language of social justice to promote AI personhood makes my skin absolutely crawl

that people are doing it in the current political environment, where the most basic human rights are crumbling before our eyes, is as bleak as it gets for me

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Have they 100% stopped making jokes and just reference old strips now? It seemed headed that way, last I saw.

He really is like someone grew a politician in a lab and figured they could retrofit him with a platform as needed.

I've never heard of him express an opinion of anything other than himself and even those were pretty mild

I honestly am starting to think that being the central owner(s) of a large virtual community space is detrimental to mental health at a fundamental level, only the MySpace guy got out unscathed and that was by cashing out and walking away

It's a weird choice of execution but it's obviously been added to cover the face of one or more protesters to help keep from doxxing them.

"Which way is up" is a fascinating thing even when it comes to initial development of a multicellular organism. IIRC, as some cells divide, they have materials in them that have different masses, and the presence or lack of those materials post-division is one of the factors used in determining...

"I ducked down to check whether I was bleeding. As I was crouched behind the van, clearly injured and no threat to anyone, those agents took aim and shot me in the face."

This from @leighkunkel.bsky.social was incredibly powerful to hear at the #JournalismIsNotACrime rally. Please read it.

Another journalist and I ducked behind a van to continue filming as the ICE agents shot at the crowd. I heard someone yell “they’re ambushing you” and then a pepper round exploded against the back of my head. Two agents had flanked the van we were using as protection and were deliberately aiming at myself and the other journalist.

I ducked down to check whether I was bleeding. As I was crouched behind the van, clearly injured and no threat to anyone, those agents took aim and shot me in the face.
