A koala in Australia was seen carrying a machete, and people laughed, until it started dragging it around.

Nah, we're done with Punchy the Monkey. Now is the time of Machete Koala!

When you buy into the idea that "porn is evil" then anything deemed porn becomes evil.

We are so afraid of sex in this country that it is effectively a tool to control the masses.

This is (part of) why sex education is so important. Sex should not be some kind of boogeyman.

Chat, is it bad when one tech dude having a modicum of a conscience is the only thing hindering the plans of the worst people in the world to use hallucinatory robots to automate crimes against humanity?

BROWT GANG

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

A flat, colorful poster that reads "Avert Catastrophe! Home is where your cat should be" (Originally from 2021!)

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

We found at least 18 of the drugs on TrumpRx have cheaper generics available ranging from potential savings of over $600 for Tikosyn to just around $2 for Diflucan. Most of the drugs are made by Pfizer.

So about TrumpRx: We crunched the numbers today and about half of the drugs on there have cheaper generics available already. www.statnews.com/2026/02/06/t...

Pombon’s speculated third evo, Pompier, which just means firefighter in French(?) a buff bipedal pombon that’s fire fighting type

I love how this administration is like "we've created the greatest economy in world history! also we have to cut all medical funding, and remember, if you can't afford beef, cartilage is cheap and nutritious!"

Well, the 90s are back

“You can‘t buy hamburger anymore, but at least you can call the kid at the cash register the n word when you buy your victory meat. Isn’t that what really matters in the end?”

So the AI was wrong *and* racist. Hurray! Let's force it into everything!

Hey, creators! Quick tip from a curator: if there's a gallery show that charges you for submissions (plus requires you to pay all shipping and handling to/from) STAY THE F*** AWAY.

(BTW, unrelated question, did these dudes ever pay all the creators they owed from Aftershock?)

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.

And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.

They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.

What does this tell you?

That said, these fucking children.

“About a dozen uniformed officers sat in the courtroom along with union leadership, including Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry.”

I'm old enough that I watched a healthy girl in my kindergarten class catch polio and was in a wheelchair by 1st grade and she died at 36. She cried all the time because she was in pain. When you die I'm gonna piss on your grave, Del.

If these guys had even the tiniest shred of capability for self-reflection they’d realize they were used as props by people who are literally putting words in their mouths but alas

It's incredible that we uncover the oldest film about a robot and it's about a construct turning on its creator

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Start going to thrift stores and pick up as much physical media as you can. You do not own digital copies of media. They can alter or remove them at any time.

This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.
