We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

you fire right back at them and you FIRE RIGHT AWAY.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html

New meme format just dropped:

"Oh Mamdani, you're so lovely!!!"

"Yes I know it, I can't help it!"

This is bullshit.

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.

"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

In a nutshell, this is it. They will try to destroy any leftist takeover, like they did with Bernie, even if this means more power to the GOP. *Nothing* that Trump has done (ICE, Cecot, tariffs, USAID, frivolous prosecutions of Trump oponents, even the murder of the Hortmans) matters to them.

Democrats negotiated a plan where a 8 completely safe dems would vote to open and the rest can post “i voted no” thats what all the negotiations were about: how they would explain the optics of the loss. it was never about saving healthcare

if dems take this deal, they take ownership of the shutdown pain. fucking champions of own goals..

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

"6-7"?! Boy I say boy you gen alpha kids cant be doin' that! Your signifiers need signs boy! You've laid a rhetorical claim to an empty space son! You're creatin' a nihilistic dialectic! Your broccoli hairs obfuscatin' some much needed communication! Find some MEANIN', kid!

After the AI bubble I hope the next bubble is Laser Tag. Laser tag arenas on every street corner. Blacklight lit battlefields propping up every sector of the economy. A one story building by the side of the highway called “Blast Zone: Pizza & Arcade” valued at $2.7 trillion

The way out of our present age of political violence is not scolding "we have to live here with one another," at those who are not threatening anyone's life, at those whose very existence supremacists refuse to accept. Rather the way out is standing between supremacists and their targets and telling them "no, you have to live with them, just like we live with you, and if you can't do that, then you have a problem with us, too." It's turning to those who just aren't comfortable with trans people and saying "we don't negotiate about people's rights over here, and if you want to see how hard we'll fight for you against the billionaires and bosses who are robbing you blind, watch how hard we fight for them. If hating trans people is so important to you that you're willing to get robbed to death to secure it, we aren't the party for you."

Fantastic essay. Maybe my favorite part, and a great rallying cry:

Gotta block ‘em all!
Here’s the one-stop shopping blocklist to disappear the Trump regime accounts that swarmed Bluesky yesterday.

I wonder if I could claim driving to Vermont for a maple creemee as mental well-being sick time off

Wait wait wait… I just looked up what “creemee” is and MAPLE SOFT SERVE??

The Frinkiac is also one of the few good websites. It does its one thing. It’s built on sharing but doesn’t build any stupid log-in infrastructure required to share. It isn’t cultivating a community within its walls. The web was once a lot of that. It can never grow at all and still be useful.

A photo of Charlie Kirk with the caption "Trans rights are human rights" in loving memory Charlie Kiek 1993 - 2025

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

It's kind of sobering that the most realistic villains in fiction are Megatron and Cobra Commander

Let’s Talk about Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk was a father. He was a husband. He was a man. He was a monster.

this is great for two reasons

1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly

2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard

If you are murdered and a neo-Nazi rally gathered in honor of your life erupts into a race war chant, your critics getting fired for saying that you had a toxic influence on society probably have a point, and the people doing the firing probably aren't actually concerned about political violence.

“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.” “Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

How Tim Cook sold out Steve Jobs - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Spot on by @anildash.com: “The son of an immigrant, a child of the counterculture, a man offering an unmistakable fuck-you to Big Brother, and a person who, above all, would never kiss the ass of someone who had absolutely awful taste. This was Steve Jobs." www.anildash.com/2025/09/09/h...
