This whole series is fun. I do want to try to make this cake. (Had my doc told me to specifically reduce my sugar intake? Yes, yes she has. Sigh.)

Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Ooh, just saw “without Asimov there would be no science fiction,” and no, you stale crouton, you waterlogged saltine, without Mary Shelley—harassed by her husband and Lord Byron—there would be no science fiction.

You’re confusing fandom for canon.

Was going to add that that’s one of my favorites for eating avocado with a spoon or over toast.

Do I love sourdough, or does it love me?

Unsolicited reminder that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is legitimately so good. I think it got sort of lost in the shuffle between all the great animation of the last few years, but it’s legitimately great.

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

This is how I know I’ve fully entered my Auntie era … because ain’t NOTHING outside that would make me brave this weather 😂

Catherine O'Hara Dead at 71 Catherine O'Hara -- famous for her work in "Schitt's Creek," "Home Alone," and "Best In Show" -- is dead ... TMZ has learned.

Catherine O'Hara, the actor who starred as Kate McCallister in “Home Alone,” has died at 71, TMZ reports

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

Anyway congrats to our Free Speech Champions(tm) who helped usher in the most censorious American government since the Palmer Raids

Federal Agents Arrest Don Lemon Over Minnesota Church Protest

Obviously ridiculous and petty as hell. I think we all know respectability politics won’t save us, but in case there were any lingering doubts—whew.

Black bodies should have been enough for white people to be outraged.

User @backintimeag: The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

Update: he survived. He needs to get down. Why did I turn this mess back on?

I stumbled upon the livestream of that dude claiming that building. Absolutely not. Stressful as hell. I had to turn it off and thank my spouse for having normal hobbies. I really hope he survives, but people also need to stop encouraging him to do this.

this is good example of how to write a credible headline and social post about the shooting in Minneapolis without amplifying
lies from the Trump administration. Facts not talking points and lies. Other news outlets and headline writers should take note.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on an away mission but did not dress appropriately. In Picture 1, Bones and Spock are standing outside against a frozen rock wall, huddled and appearing very cold, hands wriggling and arms crossed. It's snowing and they're squinting as if its blizzardy. Spock is shouting. Closed caption reads, "We're in a wilderness of artic characteristics." Picture 2, only now with Bones yelling. Closed caption reads, "He means it's cold!"

Alt in pic 1!
