This should be a front-page scandal.

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

Diversity Is Our Strength This morning, Elon Musk – the world's richest man and a key ally to the president of the United States – posted the content below to the white nationalist chat room and CSAM emporium he owns There's ...

All right, I got mad enough to write a full post about all this:

@lichthauch / Twitter screenshot The man who sleeps nine hours and eats clean and never drinks and exercises daily is the deadest man i know btw. his bloodwork is immaculate and he has nothing to say. the body is a temple and no God showed up. meanwhile the ones who actually see things are running on four hours and cigarettes and something chewing at them from inside that wont let them become vegetables. consciousness is expensive it costs health. you pay with the body. the flame eats the candle thats the deal 4:57 PM Feb 8, 2026

Truth.

The unexamined life is not worth living but measuring it out in coffee spoons ain't it either

a cartoon drawing of david and moira from schitt's creek. david is wearing an apron and standing over a pot with a whisk in one hand and a saucy spoon in another. moira is holding a recipe card. they are annoyed. david: "what does "fold in the cheese mean?" moira: "you FOLD it in." David: I- I understand that, but how? HOW do you fold it?"

ICE Boasts Zero Murders Committed By 5-Year-Olds Since Child Detainments Began

ICE Boasts Zero Murders Committed By 5-Year-Olds Since Child Detainments Began https://theonion.com/ice-boasts-zero-murders-committed-by-5-year-olds-since-child-detainments-began/

simply one the funniest people of all time

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

This is a reminder that if you’ve just seen something traumatic, playing 15 min of a visually demanding game (Tetris is the go-to here, but maybe Set? Mah-jongg?) can impede memory formation and help stop it from developing into a trauma.

(This doesn’t work for complex trauma but discrete events)

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

“.. People take part in a rally on the day of a general strike to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's deployment of thousands of immigration enforcement officers on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota.”

really hard to focus on anything other than how scared and confused and ashamed a five year old who got arrested in front of his own house and shipped to texas must be right now

ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy as he came home, say school officials Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry.

"They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair.”

Happy New Year! 🍾🥂

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

The “machinal bypass” and how we’re using AI to avoid ourselves | PNAS The “machinal bypass” and how we’re using AI to avoid ourselves

Love this short opinion piece on “mechanical bypass” in analogy to “spiritual bypass”.

YouTube video by The Wall Street Journal We Put an AI Vending Machine in Our Office. It Gave Away Everything. | WSJ

And the video now on YouTube! Which may be one of our funniest videos ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpPh...

AI vending machines sound hilarious!

It's annoying that the answer to like 30% of life's problems is "light exercise."

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

‘It Feels Like I’m in a Nightmare’: Inside the First Deportation Flight to Iran

In September, the Trump administration conducted a historic deportation flight to Iran.

We tracked down people deported on the plane.

Some are in hiding, others have fled the country.

Their story:

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

I don’t have the energy to post these days but just go ahead and assume that I’m generally upset, troubled, put out, and otherwise pissed off about pretty much everything
