Black Cat by @gwillow.me and Gleb Melnikov is awesome. Classic #Marvel street-level action, witty dialog from our female lead character, engaging story, fun cameos and really clean art. Instant add to the pull list. Check out issues 1&2!

Got a free trial of Shudder for the next week. What should I watch? Not into slasher films; I mostly like folk horror and thrillers. (I got the free trial to watch Starve Acre, which is good enough, but if you've seen literally any other folk horror film you already know how it ends.)

100%. I do pull them though. The hemlock especially can cause a rash just through skin contact. Incredibly poisonous.

71% of immigrants detained by ICE have no criminal convictions.

These are mostly private, for-profit prisons that put their bottom lines over health and safety. We see the results — immigrants are dying. It is absolutely outrageous.

2025 Fiscal Year Among the Deadliest in ICE History for Detained Migrants

Nearly all of ICE’s detention centers are run by privately owned companies and have been criticized for overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions.

We've all been taught to think that way by necessity. One's publishers and production companies use those metrics, so we feel like we must.

That tiny sprout at the bottom left is hemlock. 🫠 Sometimes it really feels like Poison Ivy has been watching over this garden re-vamp project. Things that should not grow well here, or which were planted at the wrong time, have grown splendidly, but weed-wise we are awash in hemlock and nightshade.

In the only piece of good news, this bog sage—which I had to buy from a mail-order nursery bc it’s so hard to find in garden centers—has doubled in size and put out several new shoots since I planted it a month ago. If it stays happy it will get 7 feet tall and put out blue flowers next year

I love it when people who've had success in very commercial types of art take a big swing and do something daring and weird. I support on principle.

23&Me released updated granular ancestry reports and I think it's fair to say my English ancestors were not particularly posh.

SPOOKY SEASON is here again, Space Unicorns! Uncanny Magazine Issue 66 Part 2 is LIVE ON YOUR INTERNET! buff.ly/U9e7bru

Cover: Listen To Me and I’ll Tell You A Story by Ejiwa “Edge” Ebenebe. In an underwater scene tinted in sea green, a child-like being with flowing ochre-colored hair and dark sea green skin sits on a mass of orange-ochre and green tentacles talking to a school of salmon-color fish. In the foreground, another school of brown fish swimming away from the scene. The text "Uncanny," "September/October 2025," "Issue Sixty-Six," and the credits are in white.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline

People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

I would understand if it was some obscure line from Leviticus or something. But it's from the Song of Solomon! One of the most famous poems in human history! Like. How can you be that disinterested in the faith you profess
