Canadian married to an American, dentist trained in America, father of American child, volunteers at American church dental clinic, no criminal record. Does this sound like the worst of the worst to you?! #AbolishICE #CrushICE open.substack.com/pub/eyesonic...

#MusicChallenge #EdwardGoreyMusic day 25 – At twilight objects often start to make odd sounds and fall apart. Psychedelic Orgasm – Kim Gordon 2024 🎶 Underneath the freeway Night burning, the fires begin Magic mushrooms LSD MDMA Mushrooms 🎶 youtu.be/cdn2A3MVnfE

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

This is absolutely amazing.

I’m listening

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus. www.joemygod.com/2026/10/colo...

#MusicChallenge #EdwardGoreyMusic day 23 – “…tear out whole chapters from books" Bellringer Blues – Grinderman 2010 🎶 I read that book every page And then I put it away Said I don’t think so It makes slaves of all womenkind 🎶 youtu.be/Bnswu5klGZ4

Je ne suis pas sûr que beaucoup en France réalisent à quel point Donald Trump et le Parti républicain sont impopulaires. La victoire de Trump en 2024 n’était pas un tsunami venu avec un réalignement culturel majeur vers l’extrême-droite. On voit les effets de cette victoire fragile aujourd’hui.

Another very based tweet by the Japanese PM. Cuts through the bureaucracy sysadmins have to deal with by telling them, "Client not answering the phone? Middle-management still dithering? Fuck 'em, just shut the website down, if they complain you can tell them I told you to do it"

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

My reaction to absolutely everything right now…

Among my friend cohort, during Trump’s first term, we talked about how Trump’s rhetoric made clear his international vision was one where the USA, China and Russia rule the world through spheres of influence. We’re finally getting to the point where the plan is being effectuated. #geopolitics

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

#MusicChallenge #EdwardGoreyMusic day 18 – They lived in a house covered with roses on the edge of a marsh. I Touch Roses – Book Of Love 1986 🎶 If you try to talk with me If you try to copy my pocket full of poses You still can't touch my roses 🎶 youtu.be/lpEGyNZqt7Y

Par curiosité, j’ai jeté un œil sur Xitter à propos des manifestations et, surtout, des débordements causés par les casseurs et par les forces de police en roue libre. Résultat ? Il est strictement impossible de trier les informations fiables du reste. Une véritable déchèterie informationnelle.

President Macron on the ongoing protests in France.

Not to pick on Sam here, but this is a useful point to highlight some of the impossibility of trust & safety work. Meta actually used to have a program *exactly* like this, BUT it became a central feature of Frances Haugen's Facebook Files as an example of Meta being evil. I'll explain...

It’s interesting how the elites seem to have already decided there’s going to be a new world war. Strange watching it play out in slow motion, because you can see that it’s a choice, by all sides together. I wonder if it felt the same in the buildup to WWII.

For your retro Halloween ambiance, I made a series of full-length classic horror movies playing on a warped 1969 Sony Trinitron TV on a stormy night: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

If Biden had a Katie Zacharia this close to midterms, there would be wall-to-wall coverage of how incompetent the entire admin is, but since it’s a Trump admin, we all spend a week making the same jokes while Trump aligns the US with Russia. This admin is a circus on purpose.

In the 80s, he was a lawyer fighting for the freedom of banned book club members. He later became president after the dictator's daughter was impeached. Now he's retired and runs an indie bookstore/library in the mountains with his cats. Anyone can drop by to talk books and pet the cats.

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...

I don’t care who the White House press secretary is. They don’t dictate policy, they don’t implement plans. They are irrelevant to my daily life. Press secretaries are ventriloquist dummies sent out to sell a president’s ideas. #politics

#MusicChallenge #EdwardGoreyMusic day 15 – You are not able to catch me. Yesterday Is Here – Tom Waits 1987 🎶 What I want you to remember As I disappear tonight Today is gray skies Tomorrow’s tears You’ll have to wait until yesterday is here 🎶 youtu.be/6Dnv5L59eSo
