Rep Lieu (D-CA) with a zinger‼️In America we have a cost of living crisis because of the #TrumpAffordabilityMeltdown At the SOTU he mocked working class Americans about how much everything costs. Unless you’re part of the Epstein class everything costs more. Nailed it💥🔥💥

Looking for a guest for your literary/sff/horror/ or pop culture related podcast? Want that guest to have a recent book and be able to discuss monsters or space or baking in-depth alongside writing?

Wow, that's a pretty specific need, but I can do all of that!

Well now I’m making my town’s usage of AI slop images, and the library holding a session on how to use a technology that has stolen all my books, everyone’s problem. This will be in print in The Retrospect tomorrow (and I’ll post photos then too).

Bad Bunny in a field Light poles behind him

For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El Apagón it’s because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

Jesse Plemons on ‘Bugonia,’ Conspiracy Theories and Why Tom Cruise’s ‘Digger’ Feels Like a ‘Modern-Day Dr. Strangelove’ Jesse Plemons discusses his Golden Globe-nominated role in "Bugonia," reuniting with Tom Cruise on "Digger," and playing a conspiracy theorist.

Like many of us, Jesse Plemons also loves his work in “Game Night” and is open to more.

“I’d do a ‘Game Night’ sequel in a heartbeat,” Plemons says with a visible grin, calling the 2018 comedy “pure fun.”

Pastor Kenny Callaghan said he told ICE officers to take him instead of harassing her.

An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’

“And then they said to me, ‘Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway. You can get out of the car.”

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.

Hey y’all: if you use Libby and you hate them allowing generative AI content and incorporating it in other ways you can go to your profile, scroll down to “help and support”, and take a survey to tell them that you hate it

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:

Doing this day in and day out, I often found myself searching for glimpses of humanity in them—not because they deserve it, or because I think humanizing them is a worthy task. I think it's because I've convinced myself if I can catch just one expression, one momentary shift or softening, it'll prove...something. It'll prove we can defeat them, we can get them to walk away from all of this. It'll prove there's a little boy inside that's still reachable. Anyway, I never actually saw that softening from any of them. I'm not sure I captured a single frame that shows it. Instead I photographed as they hurled insults, taunted people, shot me in the face, and hunted immigrants for sport, basically. 2025 was a year I looked the worst of humanity in the face. But as I've spent the last five facing off with cops and fascists in the streets, it wasn't my first time doing so. The same awfulness I watched the feds exhibit is the same shit I've seen from CPD and other agencies. There's nothing to humanize about it because to work these jobs requires you to leave your humanity at the door. It's not lost on me either how these are mostly/all men represented here. What is an invading force but the ultimate manifestation of unrestrained misogyny? We know who's doing most of this violence, and we should name that. In 2026 I will look these soulless, twisted men in the face again and laugh because they didn't kill me or break me.

11 days ago I scribbled some disjointed thoughts about what a year of photographing the men of ICE felt like.

Most of it isn't worth sharing, but these lines here—yeah. I guess. Yeah.

All I can say this afternoon is God will know what to do with them.
