A bright yellow graphic titled “EVERY UNION GOT THE…” featuring a 3x3 grid of Sesame Street characters with captions describing union member archetypes. Top row: Big Bird labeled “The eternal optimist.” Count von Count labeled “Counts management’s excuses. ‘Ah ah ah.’” Cookie Monster holding a cookie labeled “‘When raise? Is it time for raise?’” Middle row: Abby Cadabby labeled “Reminds everyone we deserve better.” Oscar the Grouch in a trash can labeled “Long-time steward who’s seen too much.” Elmo labeled “Just discovered unions & WILL NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.” Bottom row: Grover labeled “Takes on the work of three people.” Bert labeled “‘According to Article 7, Section B…’” Ernie labeled “Full of chaotic solidarity.”

There’s always a place for you on Solidarity Street.

I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Here’s what I think Jesus got wrong.

Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

DHS hired exactly who they wanted to hire and trained them to do exactly what they wanted them to do. Which is what you see.

But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

I am tired of hearing about institutions failing. They are not. The people who swear to uphold the law are failing. Period.

sometimes I’ll make a joke to my wife and she’ll roll her eyes and ask if I’m “gonna post that one on bluesky.” I mean, yes, but her tone is very hurtful

really enjoyed the new bumblebee man episode

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

Poster for “The Fall Guy-Yi-Yi” in the style of 1950s illustrated Mexican film poster. Bumblebee Man and Homer, in charro hat, drink beer as an annoyed Marge looks on.

To the handful of people that follow me here, I wrote tonight’s episode of The Simpsons, ¡ THE FALL GUY-YI-YI ! Featuring Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu, Johnny Knoxville, Los Tigres del Norte, and Latin America’s Homer, Humberto Velez as Bumblebee Man!

The next to air will be Simpsley, in July on D+, written and co-run by me. Beyond that is too far to spoil just yet

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

imo if all the richest ppl on the planet are at once begging you to lower your standards for art and media consumption you can bet that it benefits them more than whatever they selling your ass on and should consider the opposite of what's suggested

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Summer 2026! Can’t wait for folks to see it. Debbie Mahan directed the hell out of it

[guy who voted for this] i didn’t vote for this

No, Brian Kelly co-ran this fantastic episode!

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

Beautiful

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

We are being ruled by absolute losers

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.
