Just normal stuff happening as it normally would in a fully functioning democracy.
A billionaire family that owns a bridge crossing between Michigan and Canada has wanted Trump to stop a new bridge — and Trump is now threatening to block its opening (with authority he doesn’t have). www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

idk i think in a time when it feels like nothing matters & all is futile it might actually be time to double down and write your stories & make your paintings & sing your songs & do your art. create the things that make us human and share them.

Occasional reminder to alt-text your book promos.
Not only will they get more reposts (lots of folks won’t repost images without it), the words in the alt text can help with discoverability!

Once you notice society's base reluctance to refer to women as "geniuses" with the same frequency they do as men, no matter how talented or influential she may be, it's a thing you never really stop noticing.

Any time a company has to "make a statement", it means they're sweating. Cook them
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:
"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Friends in the TTRPG sphere, if you are invited onto a project and there is: no contract, no structure, no deadline and you have been brought on while things are still being figured out: do not do the work until you have those things.
Signed, a freelancer who has been shafted many times!

you mean to tell me kid rock does’t actually care about faith and family??
Kid Rock lyrics about underage girls draw questions ahead of ‘faith and family’-based TPUSA show
“I like ’em underage, see some say that’s statutory (but I say that’s mandatory),” Kid Rock sings on the 2001 song, which was also for a children’s movie.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

watching this site turn, in a week, from talking about Minneapolis and sharing tactics into a circular firing squad because of something that happened to one guy who posts here has me more black-pilled than normal.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.
