Char A Lot of Sangre

Star Trek being the only show Dr. King and Coretta let the kids stay up to watch is a personal fave of mine

Skeletor could never take the ribbing comedians would give him. Notoriously skinless.

Idle thoughts: always loved this line…

“Do you know what love is? I’ll tell you: it is whatever you can still betray.” THE LOOKING GLASS WAR, JOHN LE CARRÉ

this is all starting to feel like berlin in 1989

Amazon Caught Peddling AI Slop Version of Cory Doctorow That's So Ironic That We Have to Go Outside and Stare at the Sky for a Bit The renowned tech critic's book "Enshittification" hasn't even been out for a full day, and Amazon is already selling AI-generated knockoffs.

🤦🏿‍♂️

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

The movie it *really* reminded me of- aside from the Battle of Algiers- was The Spook Who Sat by the Door, which I'm sure was at least a little intentional. It was, famously, pulled from theaters by the FBI. I'm sure someone's written an article about that by now. If not, I'll probably pitch one.

Terrible phrasing: a blood drive referring to "filling the donation bucket" feels like on the edge of a Masquerade violation.

There's something very "Ford Prefect" about a process that arrives at "Harper Collins" as a sensible name for a pornbot

Oregon Republicans are inciting state violence against their own citizens. This is no different from swatting, and should be punished accordingly.

YouTube video by PJ Harvey - Topic Who Will Love Me Now?

In the forest is a monster
It has done terrible things
So in the wood it's hiding
And this is the song it sings
Who will love me now? Who will ever love me?

One day I will write about my lives with PJ's phenomenal music. 🖤

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

I will never not repost this

There's not enough time in the day to read, so naturally, my sleep suffers & I'm in a semi-permanent state of sleep deprivation.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

“Do not fuck with the Culture!”

Trump wants to deploy troops in Oregon, but he keeps getting stopped by judges he appointed.

Also, he wants to put his face on a coin for the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

British waif intervention for her next album, please!

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

All these suspensions are... a really bad omen, to put it lightly

... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

A painting of an old shop facade. The shop is called Hierophany and Hedge. In the shop windows contains an assortment of odd, esoteric and antique items, including a dummy with a wand and a plague doctor outfit. There are black cats and tentacles everywhere. An autumnal tree stands in front of the shop.

Last year I was commissioned by Hierophany and Hedge in Covington, KY to do a painting of their store facade, but with more eldritch horrors please. Was happy to oblige :)

The original hangs in the shop and they offer prints!

That heavy bass you are hearing wafting over the city? That’s Mad Professor doing a live remix of Massive Attack at the Chan Centre. All the cool Gen X dubheads are here.
