BREAKING: ICE has been tracking the names of protesters in an internal database for several months, per Reuters

This can be the site for breaking news, if journalists choose to break news on it. It is as simple as that. And that is not utopian. It is precisely what has happened the last week or so. If you weren't on BlueSky, you were late to each development.

I understand why tech journalists in particular continue to look at X (it's where people we cover like to post stuff) but I don't understand why they post there.

Moral qualms aside, it has zero juice in terms of generating discussion or clicks.

Ya know... testing out that relentless endurance 😏

Check out my latest video: youtu.be/7mHH_EDleZU

Illustration of a woman wearing a mechanical headdress and stretching out a laser garrotte from her wrist.

Not sure if I’ve posted this one before. Was trying to channel a bit that 90s ninja scroll / vampire hunter d anime style.

A demonstration of where you can find the drafts feature in the top right corner of the post composer on Bluesky.

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

A pastel of one of the oldest preserved rows of houses in Cambridge. A typical Cambridge bike leans against a house where a visitor is calling, being greeted by a black cat. The hanging moon sign shows where there was once a small pub which had a controversial reputation. After the pub closed down it became a house where Stephen and Jane Hawking once lived.

A pastel showing Little St Mary's Lane in Cambridge. I have painted and drawn this old street several times including the view from the churchyard. This picture along with others was bought by someone who was a good friend and a great supporter of my paintings.

A comic, titled Hourly Comics Day 2026. Four panels. First panel, labelled 1 in the morning: a woman lying awake in the dark in bed. Her phone is playing rain sounds. The text reads "I took a nap earlier today". Second panel, identical to the first, reads "... that was a bad idea." Third panel is entirely black. Fourth panel: an alarm rings, waking the woman at half past six in the morning. The text reads "... a very bad idea".

Comic. First panel: a woman opens the door into a darkened kitchen. Someone can be vaguely seen sitting at the table. Second panel: A young boy, his face lit by the light of his phone screen. It's the artist's nephew, aged 10. He says "Oh hey good morning Anna. What I'm awake for is that my throat hurts and I couldn't sleep." Third panel: the woman looks at the boy, who keeps staring at his screen. She asks "Did you take a cough drop?" He says "Nope". She says "Do that" and he replies "Mhm, okay". Fourth through sixth panel: three identical panels of a woman letting a large white and tabby cat in and out through the same door. They are labelled "Let the cat out" and "Let the cat in" over and over.

It's Hourly Comic Day! Let's hourly comic.

Insomnia sucks, as always.

BOUNDLESS SPACE: A little experimentation in how to render a "digital person". Hand drawn computer lines continue to be a challenge compared to robots or old fashioned humans.

It’s not a viable market product in a market where big tech platforms control distribution and tip the scales towards an endless supply of teenagers working free.

Every media company should be chasing the open social web to break that control wide open and reshape the market

yes and also we need a few more rounds of normies scolding the scolders before this place can go mainstream

And this is not just a US thing but this fuck-over structure is all over.

Housing, school, health care, space for kids to just be will do a lot more than hire a busload of more cops per capita or harder punishments. Threat people like human and not serfs to abuse for gain.

"'Not a day goes by when I don’t think about my mother,' she laments in the film’s signature voiceover, while the camera holds a shot of the coffin of President Carter."

I think the antidote to social media being mentally taxing is so simple: make a list of accounts you actually want to hear from every day

make sure it isn't too big or too weighted towards news and punditry

the long tail on this network is very long and full of all kinds of good stuff

Two Republican senators call for Kristi Noem to resign as DHS secretary Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis are the first GOP members of Congress to call for Noem to step down as secretary of homeland security.

Verge headline: I grew up with Alex Pretti by Kristen Radtke Photo: An old picture of a boy and a girl at a birthday party

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend."

our party stands with Minnesota and those who are living through the federal government allowing armed, masked agents to kidnap and kill innocent civilians.

let’s protect our communities and our neighbors — make sure you have @siembranc.bsky.social hotline number saved on your phone: 336-543-0353.

You can chafe at people calling them the "secret police" or you can insist they stayed masked and anonymous while they take facial-rec photos of citizens. Can't do both

The Pretti and Good executions are part of a pattern of growing abuse encouraged by senior officials, and total lack of accountability. That's a recipe for escalating brutality. The answer to these crimes is not shuffling staff. It's ensuring full accountability. open.substack.com/pub/mariamcf...

A goblin with long, pointed ears and sharp teeth. It wears a long, knitted vest and a red knitted hat with a blue and yellow bobble. It is tugging at the long tassles attached to the hat, pulling it down over its own eyes.

I can't believe I almost forgot about the holiest of all holidays - #goblinweek!

but have no fear: if it's one thing I know how to do, it's to make a bunch of chaotic lil' guys very quickly.

This year's theme: yarn. Goblin #1: Bobble-hat gob. #art

as someone who used to be in the National Guard I remember serving my community.
it warms my heart to see this

Black and white manga inspired character design of a cute goblin girl wearing messy adventuring gear. Next to her there are some info. "Name: ? Job: Rookie Adventurer Speciality: None Quest: 1. Find a party, 2. Do quest, 3. Gold!"

Quick gobbo design for #goblinweek! She needs a name!
What kind of adventures can she get up to? #oc #art #viktormonart

1. Stop being aspiring and just start doing it.
2. If possible, make shorter comics first. Helps you figure stuff out, try things out, and feels good to complete!
3. Read lots of different comics. Read what wouldn't interest you, read the popular thing, you never know what will inspire!

Okay, so, just so it’s clear to us outside the USA:

“Right to bear arms for protection, in case of a tyrannical government” ✅
“Right to film government-paid ICE agents terrorising your neighbours, with your phone, while having a licensed gun on your person but not actively using it” ❌

America should have spent this weekend dunking on the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy but instead we’re watching lawless idiots defend an obvious murder while the mad king hosts movie screenings for billionaires

How One Guy Crowdsourced More Than 500 Dashcams for Minneapolis to Film ICE ‘We have to make sure people are watching. We have to make sure we’re keeping track of our community members.’

When self-employed software engineer Nick Benson put out the call for dashcams online, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch in suburban Minneapolis.
