The most important posting skill of all posting skills is realizing when your takes are bad (most of the time) and not posting them. The second most important skill is deleting your bad posts once you realize they are bad. The third is being unwell enough to post.

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not.

But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

So the part where they're in a wildly dangerous setting with no qualifications to be there and no protective gear is... not a commentary, I guess??

I was disadvantaged in the duel as I had sold my pistols to buy a comb for my wife's beautiful hair. But as we turned on the count of ten, I saw she had shaved her head so loose hair would not interfere with her deadly bald aim.

Most profound writing I read in 2026 was "The Emotional Labor Behind AI Intimacy" by a Nairobi man who dreamed of working in air traffic control but instead winds up sexting & chatting w ppl who think they're talking to AI (while AI trains on him). 16 pages & free - READ IT data-workers.org/michael/

Extreme closeup of an AI-generated image of Santa. It seems to have been prompted to look like a Pixar knockoff, with big eyes and warm, soft lighting. There’s something off with its eyes, like it’s a lizard with secondary eyelids or a doll with segmented plastic irises that move independently of the sclera like an animatronic.

The other day I looked through the comments I left on different social media apps and I am absolutely not ashamed of the amount of times I've recommended Rakesfall or Saint of Bright Doors or Last Dragoners of Bowbazar. So many people got these books because I was passionate and insufferable πŸ™
