And when you're feeling sad
And everywhere you look
You can't believe the things you see
When it all comes down so bad
And beauty lies exhausted in the streets -Nick Cave

Learned to play the Amen Break very badly. I am not a drummer but my husband has an electronic kit in the house. It’s impossible to play the drums sadly. It helped a lot.

But it’s a problem in this case obviously.

Also Ring has partnered with Flock to share info with ICE.

Maybe we can have our own little cameras not connected to the Borg.

The Brown investigation seems to be hampered by the lack of campus cameras (which is odd) and also Ring cameras. I dislike Ring cameras since they’re creepy and make people paranoid so I kinda applaud the people of Providence for bring proper New Englanders and just getting up to answer the door.

Seriously. If you’re a frightened student hiding in a lab from a gunman, and you see a post from the President of the United States that the gunman has been caught, you might decide it’s safe to stop hiding. Luckily Brown students seem to know Trump has no idea what he’s talking about.

Really? That’s inane.

According to CNN, there are still students sheltering in place, and it’s unclear if they have anyone in custody.

Fuck guns.

Oh no! They’re going to have to switch to Grok.

Soon we’ll have to answer a quiz about which products we’ve seen at the supermarket just to open our fridge.

I guessed right! Something with the depth of focus in 3 is wrong and also I’ve never seen a leash / collar hookup that looks like that. There’s often a kind of draw-a-bicycle-from-memory aspect to AI mistakes.

I’m 100% glad they’re taking this to court.

He would just talk about reverse racism and go on about DEI

Yes, their mental health will be at rock bottom but at least they can see current stock market index when they look at a logo on the street.

This is one of my all time faves!!! From a heathen and a pagan on the side of the rebel Jesus.

“denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility”?

A naturalized migrant is a US citizen. He’s saying he will expel US citizens for protesting.

I’m assuming 1pm was the time of the Trump admin Signal chat about it and they just started Googling.
November 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM
They probably just don’t keep granular data past 7days

I’ve never used this Google tool before, but…whaa? It says it uses local time for 7day searches this is EST.

Seems like maybe this person would really enjoy the real world in which things are all pre-prompted and pre-exist?

SCOTUS has made it clear that the President has immunity because the high stakes nature of the job demands speed and agility in situations where decisions must be made fast -

decisions like should my ballroom be large or gigantic and will we use marble or terrazzo?

It’s like my body just lacks the enzyme to understand this labubu thing. No receptors. All just “wut?”
