Jesus fucking christ this is so evil. Thinking about that Graeber quote about how in the 70's the US legalized interest rates previously only seen from organized crime

Status report, File Tidying Dep't: Dumping unneeded process files in the Daz Studio "render library" folder. Some file titles are more suggestive than others of their get-riddable-ness. This one (a test of a terrace firepit for the local fire elemental) was labeled "Too Much Lighter Fluid". 😏

RED ROSES AND DEAD THINGS photoshoot, 2008.

This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.

People who table at cons: Please hit me with your best, non-obvious advice? Like:
* do you get more business in jeans and a comics tee or in more business casual?
* is it better if you're Doing Something or Smiling Aggressively?
* better to label books with prices or make people ask?
I am baby.

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

We Asked DHS if Federal Agents Wore Horror Masks on Raids. They Responded ‘Happy Halloween! ~ L.A. TACO “They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols, who snapped the photo of the ...

In Chicago, DHS refused to pause the raids and arrests so kids could go trick-or-treating without the risk of getting tear-gassed or subjected to violence.

Meanwhile, DHS agents in Los Angeles celebrated the holiday by conducting raids while wearing horror movie masks.

Sadism as public policy.

Last night I dreamt that I was funding and directing a production of THE GUY WHO DIDN'T LIKE MUSICALS. It was chaotic and strange, and I woke up just as the show began.

Editorial cartoon: Unsolicited Dick Fics.

Any unsolicited email that includes something like "I’m part of a private readers community about 2000+ active readers and social media reviewers. We’re not some forced review for hire thing. We just spotlight books that actually deserve to be seen, and yours hit that nerve." is a scam. I'm sorry.

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

Virginia Is Illegally Rejecting Student Voter Registrations, Lawsuit Alleges Read more here.

The NAACP filed a lawsuit alleging state election officials are unlawfully rejecting college students’ voter registration applications and same-day registration provisional ballots based on missing address information – such as dorm name or room number – that students aren’t required to include.

"Dear Martha, we've been camped outside Richmond for going on 30 days. Overhead the sandwiches are exploding day and night. The smell of the onions and mustard is overwhelming."

The throwing of the Sandwich at an opponent is done as an attack roll but on a successful hit has the effects of the Bard spell Vicious Mockery (2d4 psychic damage, disadvantage on next attack roll)

Hey on this Election Eve, let’s remember to leave out a plate of middle fingers for the members of the press who were just asking questions about Biden’s declining health.

I genuinely and sincerely fucking believe this.

People living in buildings believing they will stay up is why so many horrifically unsafe buildings do not fall down. Literally the belief is critical. The inertia helps, but the belief matters more. This is why vacant buildings decay SO fucking fast!
