ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.

not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

'Uncle Lefty has tactfully avoided mentioning that the streetcar route takes them across the Menomonee Valley via the Wells Street Viaduct, 90 feet up, iron, black, rickety in the wind, not for nervous passengers or even those with their wits about them.'

This is a good piece; it’s frustrating that my cited post resonates beyond the bubble of people who like my work & yet that resonance will not, cannot, move the tech people actively making things worse. Not one of them cares. Their vision of the future is β€œwe make more money.”

This is an exhaustive and incomplete thread of Boise area happenings related to the Wilder, Idaho ICE raid.

It goes from about an hour into the raid, as awareness of it spread through the community, to the current moment. It contains links to articles, actions, and ways to donate to the families.

In art, chiaroscuro is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark. This innovative and ever-present art technique served as inspiration for "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33", which was recently selected Game of the Year by the Game Awards 2025.

The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI Reach Landmark Agreement to Make Beloved Characters from Across All of Disney’s Brands suck a dick while doing a 9/11
As part of this three-year licensing agreement, Sora will be able to generate short, user-prompted social videos of more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters sucking dick while doing a 9/11.
Agreement will make a selection of these fan-created videos of Black Widow unnaturally deepthroating a dick that suddenly emerged from off screen, each lasting about 4 seconds and ending before you can even get hard. Or she's ripping off her outfit and suddenly there's two Black Panthers (RIP) getting her from each side, and they're going like, ridiculously fast, and it looks impressive until you realize all of these videos do the same thing and you're bored and back on Chaturbate watching normal people undress over the course of 2 hours and muting the sound so the tip noises don't wake up your sleeping wife.
Disney and OpenAI affirm a shared commitment to responsible usage of AI and the rights of creators pfft haha just kidding get fucked losers.
Alongside the licensing agreement, Disney will become a major financial burden for OpenAI; burning down an acre of forest per economically useless video of Ariel queefing out a bubble while giving Hades a footjob
