Oh god she keeps getting more embarrassing. How. How does she do it.

I have sooo never shot someone who was driving near me. Like it’s crazy how zero people I’ve shot.

Girl.

Thousands of Minnesotans gathered last night to honor Renee Nicole Good. We will never accept that a single federal agent can be judge, jury, and executioner in our streets. ICE needs to get out of Minneapolis.

It is increasingly important to be documentarians of reality

We’ve graduated from “abolish ICE is the moderate position” to “Nuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”

Impeach, convict, remove.

I want to kiss every post in this thread

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

The Hard Numbers Show That the Results of NYC Congestion Pricing Have Been Absolutely Incredible After a year of congestion pricing, data shows that the once-controversial policy has delivered huge benefits to those in New York and beyond.

"It turns out that mostly when people say ‘New York is noisy’ they really mean 'cars are noisy.'"

One of my goals for my own content in 2026 is "no stock footage." And one of the few benefits of AI proliferation is my growing appreciation for jank.

Here's to 2026: here's to more jank!

We are very serious over here at Afterthoughts Enterprises.

This reminds me sooooo much of Kathryn Spiers getting fired from Google after creating a popup window giving workers a link to their labor rights.

Attacking a data center like it’s The Bastille, everyone fleeing with a bushels of RAM to desolder and resolder the chips. One peasant coded guy with a wheelbarrow of SFP+ modules. Manifesting this for 2026.

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

New Years Resolution: keep track of the videos I watched and liked 😅 Thanks for the shout out, Matt! (And for the recs 👀)

Extremely hard-working dog doing my editing for me

Don’t bother us, we’re working

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

BUT I think we all understand people lashing out in frustration and desperation right now. Forgiveness & understanding are also warranted. It's rough out there. Take care of yourselves & each other. ❤️

This is so, so real. Please keep this in mind when you choose how to respond to people in this hellworld.

Making life MORE stressful for friends/strangers/allies has negative ripple effects – it reduces our own capacity to tend to our communities, spending more energy endlessly regulating.

One thing I've found from years online is moral discharge (frustration taking the path of least resistance into lateral violence) reigns when people are stressed out

In hindsight, publishing this three days before Christmas was probably a bad idea 😂🎄🎅 if you haven't checked it out yet, give it a watch! Reviewers call it "a Youtube video."
