got this quote at a neo-Nazi event at the University of Florida in 2017, & in the nearly 8 years since it goes viral like this every few months — I suspect because it's a pretty good summation of where the GOP has gone

"SCPs that got hoovered up and regurgitated by chatbots end up giving tech executives schizophrenia" is perhaps fittingly a very SCP thing to happen

Back in the 90s Cyber Psychosis was supposed to be brought on when your implants and augmentations started to interfere with the regular function of your nervous system. These days, dweebs are catching it just because a chatbot called them "bestie"! Pathetic.

The less often mentioned women of Lord of the Rings: Goldberry, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, Rosie Cotton, and Ioreth of the houses of healing in Minas Tirith.

I’m rereading Lord of the Rings and have been enjoying making some drawings of various characters (mostly while I’m at work at the library). Question is, who else should I draw?

During the 2019 Hong Kong protests, various factions that ranged from clergy to suburban moms, lawyers to anarchists, coalesced on the four-part slogan: 不篤灰 (no snitching) 不割席 (no severing ties) 不分化 (no forming of cliques) 不指責 (no scolding) Seems like new American anti-fascists are (re)learning!

keep thinking about two things from a recent panel on anti-fascism: - people united to fight fascists didn’t need a shared definition of fascism first (they needed each other) - not everyone in the group wanted to fight the same way, but they agreed not to denounce one another over those differences

Note that the administration’s claim of a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents is likely made up mostly of incidents like this: claims that a 71-year-old citizen “pushed” a masked armed agent.

1. The FCC has suspended a rule, schedule to go in effect this year, that would have banned prisons from price gouging on phone calls. Right now, at some jails, a 15-minute phone call can cost over $11. The decision benefits some of Trump's top donors.

Another win for my "executives should not be allowed to receive compensation for 12-18 months after layoffs and should have to return their previous year's comp" argument. If it cost him money he wouldn't be doing it!

Dems need long term signaling that caving to Trump will be punished by a future administration. Bukele should know he and El Salvador will be immediately sanctioned. Universities and law firms should feel zero long term advantage from capitulating instead of protecting their independence.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

This is a cavalier 'shrug off' response — but it's an abysmal reality that people are held and dying in horrid conditions across US prisons & jail. That's happening under the supervision of sheriffs, wardens, DOCs and governors of all and any party. A brief 🧵 of some instances to know about.

Q: "A 75 year old Cuban national died in ICE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years...Is there anything you can tell us about that?" Border Czar Tom Homan: "People die in ICE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.
