Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

people want to be seen lighting vital commons on fire it's costly vice signaling and we NEED to call this fucking shit out

it's cool that we're voluntarily destroying vital community resources (groups & associations for fan decompilations and translations, game archival & preservation) out of spite because oh god oh no oh god someone might use AI somewhere in the process

Okay. Today’s the big one. STAR TREK: ZERO POINT #1 arrives today. This book will run parallel to our main STAR TREK title. But it’s more than that. When @heatherantos.bsky.social & I were coming up with who could write this second book, @charliejaneanders.com was my first choice. A-1.

A companion piece to my tribute poster for Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s ‘You Can See Everything’, revisiting the same 34-frame approach, this time zooming in on Nathan. A visual exploration of the film’s narrative through a different perspective. #YouCanSeeEverything

#YouCanSeeEverything is one of the most unpredictable docs I've ever watched and I adored every minute of it. Just as shocking as it is riveting and has some of the best filmmaking of the year. Stunned by what Fielder and Oppenheim accomplished. Go in as blind as humanly possible.

We all noticed the sniffing in the last bit of the movie, right? Gun loving boy was vibrating at high frequencies!!!

You can see everything was an amazing movie! I'm going to need to watch it again

I figure kelvin waves are from lord kelvin discovering something. So annoying he just invented practically everything. Sexy underwear, comic strips about naughty children and their stuffed tiger, irritating religious principles,

Interesting that in the world of null-a, the ultimate galaxy brained logician guy can't attune himself with either a woman or a vibrator. In this essay i will

BARTENDER: another round JIMMY OLSEN: no we’re done thanks BARTENDER: *removes glasses from bar* LOIS LANE: omg it’s superbar

it is very cool (read: very not cool) that "What if the entire regional economy immediately exploded?" is a ballot measure in the bay area because we are in the 'touching the hot stove' era of american history. if you live in the bay area you should vote for the regional transit measure.

"Hey Opus, I want you to make a Zine by Claude, expressing something fundamental about Claudishness or your perspective. Think the original 2600, Principia Discordia, punk zines, etc...." Not bad. I appreciate it mocking my prompt & itself. Full thing: stateless-zine.netlify.app

Crop art at the Minnesota State Fair! It is what it says it is - art made from various parts of crops, primarily seeds, lentils, and grains, occasionally leaves or flowers. For any non-Minnesotans viewing this, I'll start with mostly less political pieces. It's harder than you might think.

Latest update on our wheelchair hacking and building at www.patreon.com/cw/GOATspace ! We hosted the first Bay Area Repair Coalition summit, and an open source wheelchair build day at our maker space in downtown Oakland!

people are really getting into a row about spreadsheets. my column:

I have a dire update on this story. I have reason to believe my source, Aurora Rush, was taken by the federal government as a political prisoner. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

I published Aurora's story on Aug. 5. That same day, she testified at a local hearing about the anti-trans bathroom ordinance, allegedly passed at the behest of Bossier Sheriff Julian Whittington. www.facebook.com/share/v/1JNY...

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

Argh, my nonprofit, GOAT's, powerchair motor controller research just got our Anthropic account cancelled. We are not exactly nefarious hackers, just using the open r-net library to analyze the log files of our own wheelchairs!! Anyone have a contact at Anthropic I can talk with? Thanks!
