Happy birthday, @jacobgeller.com . May you continue to create art for those who come after.

A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

Throwback to something worth repeating.

@beckystern.bsky.social I just found your channel on @nebula.tv and I loved your videos. Looking forward to the rest of the Made in Shenzhen series! Keep making cool stuff!

Now you're just throwing words around 😅

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

One last boost for the evening crowd. This has raised a truly staggering amount of money, thank you all!! Also a couple people have said this is one of their favorite videos of mine, which is very nice to hear.

100% this!👇

You guys…

We can’t debate them.

We aren’t going to just say the right thing in the right way and suddenly they’ll stop cheering for our deaths.

We just have to beat them.

Organize. Fight. Win.

Find a good movie to watch, or read a good book for a couple of hours.
Doom scrolling is something else right now.

2026 just got real.
The fight against fascism is here, right now.
Take a break every now and then.
It is going to be a long year.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

It is no coincidence that these books all touch upon the importance of empathy and kindness in the face of cruelty, dehumanization and fascism; it is also key that none of these books ask us to just feel bad about what is happening, but to take an active role in stopping the horrors. 3/3

If you don't have LinkedIn to see the article, the list is: Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L.Wang, The Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons, Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby, How a Game Lives by @jacobgeller.com, and One Day, Everyone Will have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. 2/3

My Best of 2025 Reading List I’m grateful for you; let’s share some good books! I am a voracious reader that favors fiction in the form of thrillers, sci-fi/speculative fiction, and fantasy; I also try to get in as much professio...

Every Jan I write a must-read list from the prev year. 2025 includes books that explore how we behave in the face of cruelty, how love and empathy are the most powerful part of being human, and the importance of speaking out when it matters.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

I have 4 daily stops on the phone: Minute Cryptic, the NYT games app to go with morning coffee, Pokemon Go for my walks, and Candy Crush for those mindless second-screen moments.

@minnmax.com Sorry to bother, but did you mean Manuel T when you wrote Michael T, perchance?

It's giving me 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim vibes, and I mean it as a compliment.

A hand holding the book open to highlight the titles: "Who's afraid of modern art?" and "What is art to a fascist?"

A 2019 essay by @jacobgeller.com that could have been written today and an equally timely afterword. Go watch it on @nebula.tv or YouTube, or even better: get the book!
