The U.S. is being terrorized by ICE, not Iran.
After the snow skipped our little microclimate while everyone around us got some for the last couple years, I did not expect this today. Hello, March? 🤷♀️
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

One of the best worldbuilding tools ever
Transphobes care about fairness in school sports like misogynists cared about ethics in gaming journalism.
Return to the magical world of Aldea in a light #TTRPG of mapcrawling YA heroes for Pocketopia! Wardens incorporates notes from Ghibli movies and slice-of-life anime and manga, modern “romantasy” fiction, and YA fiction in the romantic world of Blue Rose, powered by the Simple Adventure Game Engine.
Smugfucks like this really challenge my commitment to prison abolition and anti violence. Guys like this can’t learn, won’t learn, from anything short of getting their noses bloodied.
ICE is trafficking people who aren’t from there to a tiny landlocked absolute monarchy on the borders of South Africa and Mozambique.
There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.
Solidarity, brother. We’re doing the same.
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
Green Ronin is in the Indie Comics United Super Bundle of Awesome stuff! This 'Pay what you want' Bundle is valued at over $1,329, and supports publishers caught up in the Diamond Bankruptcy, through the Comic Legal Defense Fund! Learn more: tinyurl.com/ComicsHumbleBundle
On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.
The question of the Diamond bankruptcy came up a lot at GAMA Expo. Comics Beat has a great summary of where things are that I wish I could’ve pointed people to last week, but sharing now for those still interested in updates beyond my “it’s a shit show” opinions.

This might be one of the greatest shots that I have ever seen.
when the internet was new, random Limewire users were sued for 6-7 figures over downloading individual songs
today, if you're an AI company, i guess you can just steal entire people's identities with no repercussions
23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.
ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.
Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.
Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”
These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.
Abolish ICE
Final leg. See you soon, Seattle.

What the literal fuck?! Monsters, they’re fucking monsters.
We’re into the final day of this Kickstarter! So excited to be bringing Mutants & Masterminds into a new era.
Wednesday at GAMA Expo has begun.
I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.
I’m so glad you had a good time!
