When I was just starting out, I was taking a cab from one convention party to another with an indie darling who was coming off of a bunch of award wins. In the quiet of that car he told me “[game he made] was my twenties” and I have never really stopped being haunted by that convo

a doodle comic based on an actual dream i had last night a dark figure stares out at the audience "last night my dreams were haunted by a strange man" The figure stands in the middle of the panel, still staring. "Everywhere I went, he'd be there waiting for me." A crude drawing of a man dissolving into fog "It was Guy Ritchie, director of such films as Snatch, Wrath of Man, and Swept Away, appearing as a fog, as a shade. He kept saying he was here to tell me that he was going to take another go at making an Aladdin movie." A shitty drawing of the genie from Disney's Aladdin with a clearly traced image of Jason Statham's face on the body. "Still for Disney. They have the money. But this time he'd be doing it 'his way'. This time, the genie would be Jason Statham. Every other actor would be the same though."

Zoom in on the duration: 5 hours, 5 minutes, 52 seconds

Mahershala Ali in True Detective, old and confused mode

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

There are a few students who end up having to rewrite assignments several times until they learn the work needs to be readable.

It’s makes a lot more work on my end to prep but worth it with results.

I’ve moved all but final drafts of essays to pen and paper.

Better engagement. Less distraction. Better results.

these are almost as bad as the "galloping ghost" grey uniforms

Macbeth: SHIT

Arsenal are so good at corners that the opponents are now scoring on themselves out of fear

congrats big daddy thump!

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

Wreak havoc on the middle class

When life closes a door, it opens a window. And if the fall is too steep, use the fire exit. Run to the roof -- you always have that airship on the dock. The most important thing is to keep moving. Keep dreaming.

Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

So guns kill people now?

YouTube video by Seth Moulton ICE is full of COWARDS. They are all absolute, pathetic, untrained COWARDS. DEFUND AND PROSECUTE.

This is the most important thing to remember about Obama and the Democrats generally. The only times he ever showed up to “help” it was to stop a labor action and to stop Bernie Sanders.

There is no such thing as other people’s children It is intolerable

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

The reporter follows up, asks if the gun was "moved from the scene" and asked who exactly is providing the account that the victim was brandishing the weapon (as one isn't visible in the video)

Bovino fumbles around a bit and the press conference is cut off.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation. Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis. At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.

The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

New video shows the man who was killed moments before the shooting.

He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.

Crazy that the party that spent 45 years telling Americans that their government was their enemy are the ones who finally made it come true.

Every time my rep posts a thread like this (which is all the time) I scroll to the bottom to see if he has an actual plan of action and he never does. Sorry Sean but I didn't vote for you to be mad online. Lead or step aside for somebody who will.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Basically executed by firing squad. Vance and the administration’s cronies coming out and screaming that ICE has absolute immunity after Good’s killing was an open declaration that they terrorize and kill as they please.

A political protester in Minneapolis was captured by ICE. They removed her bra and cut off her wedding ring. They never returned her clothes to her. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...
