Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

ICE agent wearing skull mask that is usually associated with the neo Nazi atomwaffen group

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

"Safe to fail" and "fail fast" are not the same thing, even if they can overlap. It frustrates me that this isn't better understood when it comes to dev.

This random online comment from 2018 remains one of the last half-century's most important works of political commentary. crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

It’s worth noting that spending on ICE, DHS and state + local police is higher than the amount that China spends on its entire military.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Comment from reddit: "There are Tibetan monks who spend weeks making beautiful sand mandalas, only to cast their artwork into a river. As the point was the mental state while they created the mandala, not the artwork as a physical object. All is impermanent."

me whenever I delete my satisfactory save and start over

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words:

"If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell."

Happy MLK Day.

In case you were not aware, this is not what 'police' look like in a civilised democracy.

Having my first semla of the year and there's nothing you can do about it

Love it dude! Really excited to learn more

Art for our upcoming game @gardens.dev 🌳

A group of young adventurers approach a mysterious shrine where a sword emerges from a rock shrouded in mist. A key concept art painting by Andy Porter for Gardens Interactive's new game.

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

This. Everything is you read or hear is just observations about the past, and sometimes the present. Trend chasing or prediction is a mug's game.

Hell of a cover

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation, we were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States of America."

If ICE is highly trained law enforcement, why is their strategy that of friggin Mormon missionaries?

FML

Decided to dial back on what I spend with US based companies, as much as I can. Simply can't be arsed having the money I've earned contributing to the tax revenues of a country like this.

It's not a lot, but it is something. I hope more folks at the mercy of these clowns do the same.

It's the most magical time of the year — when estimates of last year's global average temperature anomaly come out. Time to dust off my "last year was hot" auto-response.
