Just as an official announcement for the new followers I’m picking up of late: this is a SFW profile, and will remain a SFW profile.

In case you’re hoping for something else

Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

A news alert text from Sky News. It says:
Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.

#KavanaughRaid
“federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning.”

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

It's funny reading comments like "AI is the future! You gotta learn how to use it if you wanna compete!" and like dude you're typing in "snake with big tiddies", what is there to learn?

It's banned book week and we sincerely hope you're reading something that makes conservative people sneer. The bar is low, but that doesn't mean we can't be proud of clearing it!

Let us know what book you're devouring this week, and never let anyone tell you what you can and can't read.

Since it's horror movie time, this is your reminder that "Jeepers Creepers" was made by an actual child molester, so maybe just leave that one off the schedule.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

This Millennial knows his job will replace him ten seconds after he keels over at his desk, so he takes his leave and goes home on time and has friends and loved ones and hobbies and a life.

Unlike that woman apparently.

NGE was my proper entry to anime at 15. I’d seen Macross and Tekkaman but nothing like Evangelion. Used to watch it on the channel that showed soccer games and foreign films and foreign language news. They did an anime segment on Saturday nights followed by a movie with subtitles. Wild days haha.

Texas and California added more clean power capacity in 2024 than the next 30 US states combined. In California, two Bay Area refineries (around 15% of that state’s capacity) are closing as demand for gasoline falls into permanent decline. buff.ly/lLMyPU3

California Refineries Close as Gasoline Demand Slips into Permanent Decline - CleanTechnica

California’s refineries are closing not because of regulation, but because gasoline demand is shrinking as EV adoption crosses tipping points.
