So this guy reached out a couple weeks ago and asked how he could help as a designer, and I said I’d boost anything he made and sold as long as he committed to sending a share of the proceeds went to our key local orgs protecting immigrants and observers. And he did! So check ‘em out :)

A smiling brown fairy with a green bow tie and green leaves sprouting from its head poses in a crowded train station.

A cheerful soil fairy born from the fertile soil of Samegawa Village, Fukushima, Yuuki-kun has a sprout growing on his head and grows big by feeding on everyone's smiles. He wants to see the sprouts on his head bloom into flowers.

They are terrified to the point of saying it aloud this ends with them in prison if they do not succeed at literally all of their goals and an overwhelming majority of Americans have to reject these people in every corner of life, including the polls, to make that happen.

HE'S SO FUCKING STUPID DEWINE YOU STUPID SHIT

Didn't think AI would be so uniquely terrible at rendering the bottom row of teeth (so much uncanny valley but this really stood out to me)

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

ICE Pretends It’s a Military Force. Its Tactics Would Get Real Soldiers Killed WIRED asked an active military officer to break down immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

“Given that training for ICE officers has dropped down to about 6.5 weeks, TV/movies might be their biggest source of knowledge. It demonstrates that agents aren’t moving with tactical focus; they’re doing what they think will look cool and intimidating in photos.”

ICE Pretends It’s a Military Force. Its Tactics Would Get Real Soldiers Killed WIRED asked an active military officer to break down immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

We asked an expert to tell us what they thought of ICE's military moves. It was worse than I thought (but the writing is great) www.wired.com/story/ice-pr...

Every new interview and preview about Resident Evil Requiem has me more and more excited, but, also:

Director Koshi Nakanishi just keeps saying the most bizarre stuff that has me asking several questions.

Fun YCH comm from @ratsstick.bsky.social. Look at this meathead 😉🍆

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

ICE responsible for 100% of homicides in Minneapolis YTD

I know people hate Will Stancil, but this is simply objectively true.

The democratic socialist future is not piecemeal private mutual aid, it's sufficient taxation and spending to sustain the state capacity to bureaucratically ensure that no American goes hungry, homeless, or without health care.

I’m sure there are day trader polycules that all share a Bloomberg terminal. Confident.
