amongst all the other wild shit in here, does Trump not know that there is already a bridge between Detroit and Windsor?

Today I am thinking ruefully about my high school freshman English teacher Mr. Entwisle, who abhorred a comma splice. Only now do I appreciate how he suffered.

Unionize your workplace so you can call the president a pedophile in the national spotlight and keep your job

And yes, Classicist, you did hear the Rubicon being mentioned by Bad Bunny. The line goes β€œGetting all the potholes on the Rubicon,” referencing the dismal infrastructure in PR alongside the utility poles failing.

Screenshot of a comment on a ND post by someone who has been arguing that the city needs to keep exclusionary single family zoning: β€œβ€¦multiple family neighborhoods brings because as we all know people in neighborhoods like what all of you who are advocating for brings in individuals who have muscle cars who love to hear the unwanted noise that those cars bring and they also love to ignore the speed limits just to feel inferior to those who don't have muscle cars like theirs.”

I’m not surprised but the conversation about ending exclusionary single family zoning in Ann Arbor continues to cause people to say the quiet parts out loud.

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Tell them it will find your dog.

I turned on the Super Bowl because I wanted to see the halftime show and saw that Dunkin Donuts ad and a crypto ad and I hate absolutely everything now. Burn it all to the stumps.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

The Library Green Elegy: Dark Money Group Fined For Ann Arbor Election Interference Ann Arbor voters passed a pair of special election ballot measures in August of 2025 that would hopefully put to rest: what should be done ...

6 months ago, voters in Ann Arbor decided turn the page on the Library Lot. Erich Z. shares an elegy for the Library Green Conservancy. The non-profit opposed the Props A and B and was found to have violated state campaign finance laws.
