Could and Should are often miles apart
One is the strong arm
The other’s the heart.
The fact that we can
Is the burden of man.
We usually fail
Because we start.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized and abducted by ICE:
"You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming) 1/24/26

Y'all! Been researching phones for an article on my patreon and came across the HTC Blue Angel. No idea this existed and now I desperately wish I had owned one in its day! Look at this thing!

I think a lot of folks refound their love of X-Men with X-Men 97, and I think that the ones that maybe don't read a lot of comics should read House of X / Powers of X and get floored by the infinite possibility space it implied back when the Krakoan Age launched.

it's always so strange that Ben Affleck is a well-spoken, erudite person because every other aspect of his personality seems like the only words out of his mouth should be slurs muttered through broken teeth
Insights from Ben Affleck on AI:

• AI can help write scenes but can't create full movies.

• Job loss fears are overblown because adoption of new tech is slow; it's hype for startup valuations.

• ChatGPT v5 is ~25% better but costs 4x.

• Users actually preferred v4's sycophancy for companionship.

This is like saying it’s legal to burglarize someone’s house if you can physically beat them up.
