Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works.  On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork.  On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with β€œI am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

my friends and i helped this lady a couple weeks ago. it was tedious work, and tourists got weirdly defensive with us. over the course of one hour we threw out thousands of stupid pieces of plastic crap, and i rescued one little guy

Nick Fuentes: β€œThe number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: β€œOur #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

congratulations to the Seahawks, who are technically named after the gorgeous Osprey β€” a great victory for birders everywhere!

below is my rendition of an Osprey soaring to victory, drawn with full attention to detail. and no, this is not a photo!

went to the guggenheim on a weekday and it was filled with the coolest gen xers and boomers imaginable. you had your mom/adult son duos, elder gay couples, women who look like rock critics… aura-farming without conscious effort. it was an honor just to be in the same room as them

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was β€œinvolved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
