Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

ALERT: My office has received reports of heavy ICE presence near 12th & Maple in DTLA in the Fashion District. Agents are actively walking the area.

If you have info report to:
LA Rapid Response Network: (888) 624-4752

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens

All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much!

People overseas will be like "America this your problem & it's impacting us all so get your shit together!" and Elon Musk will be South African and Rupert Murdoch will be Australian and Peter Thiel will be German and the President will be an obvious Russian Asset funded by Israel & Saudi Arabia.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

One of my main regrets in leaving NYC was losing the ability to vote against this guy.

Joining everyone rightfully dunking on this nonsense to add that the most powerful cognitive amplifier tools are books. Which were stolen by the tens of thousands in order to make these slop-generating tools.

X starting the year off strong with this entry in the Least Surprising Headline category.

A table of YouGov polling data with the headline: "How your reading habits compare to other Americans." The chart has the sub-headline: "About how many books have you read or listened to so far in 2025? (% of U.S. adult citizens)."

NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American.

Read on for way more @today.yougov.com polling from me on America's book-reading habits in 2025. 1/

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.

But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Merry Christmas fam!

The political and weeb sides of my Bluesky have collapsed into this singularity.

Breaking my social media time-out to pledge my continuing allegiance to M-W.

Well well well

So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do: In the url bar, type in about:config It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue. One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top: browser.ml.enable browser.ml.chat.enabled extensions.ml.enabled browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy. The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

A young boy holds a sign that simply states in plain handwriting: Trump hit on my girlfriend

perhaps the less people take sci-fi as political lessons the better

i’m running for president in 2028, this is my platform:

- no more spam texts and calls
- smaller cars with weaker headlights
- imprison every person in ice and the trump administration on a remote island for a thousand years

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Never believe what ICE says.

Never believe what this administration says.

Whenever I see lists like this I'm always a little curious whether folks know how many creators of these shonen and seinen blockbusters are women.
