Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Hey, props to writers who got literally anything done this year.

If you don't get it now something like it probably won't be on sale again for another year. A good raincoat is so important!

I finally realized what this administration reminds me of.

Please stop using AI slop to make anti-fascist memes. You’d be better off with MS Paint, comrade.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

i'm in tears. ICE is a terrorist organization.

tech companies are attempting to colonize your intimacy, your child’s creativity, your grief, your emotional resilience, your problem solving. don’t give it to them. reject that which persuades you to make yourself weaker.

As folklore reminds us, the border between any two things is a traditional place of enchantment: the bridge between two river banks, the wall between the woodlands and the hills, and those interstitial realms where cultures, landscapes, languages, art forms and genres meet.

Nothing makes you confront how stupid racism is quite like explaining it to a six year old.

"That doesn't make sense." Yeah, girl. I know.

not our alex catching strays 😔

all I'm saying is that if somebody got shot right before they finished saying something racist, that is between them and God.

I’m starting to think it’s going to take hacking right wing news sources and streaming, idk, an AI Jesus in a snapback

What if it happens today? What if it happens on live TV? What if it happens in the middle of a sentence? Wow. What if.

screencap of Shmorby from the We Bare Bears animated series. (he looks like a green jelly bean wearing big round glasses and a bowtie)

got new glasses

sometimes all you have is that you can cuss real good

we used to be a society!

Never let a machine make an emotional decision for you as a creator. Let it do math, fill out crowds, or fill out spreadsheets. Don't let it make storytelling choices. Don't let it draw what belongs to your imagination. Those decisions take experience, intuition, imagination, fear, hope, and daring.

They have GOT to stop using X (fKA Twitter) to issue Amber Alert info. Makes no damn sense.

omg 😩

an utter lack of curiosity is a defining quality of the worst people u know

I never knew I was Southern until I left VA on a trip to Boston. Holy sh*t, who are these people, I often thought, and how do they live like this?? It was such a shock 😅
