Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!

Bundle up, put a whistle on a lanyard or keychain, and be careful.
Use the MONARCA hotline if you see anyone. 911 if anyone is injured. Expect SPPD and MPD to be on the side of ICE, if not actively, then passively.

For some strange reason, I'm reminded of this Deutsche Welle documentary that not only discusses why the US is always at war, and is obsessed with war, but also takes some time to go, "What the fuck?" at US war reenactment culture.

In short, every shithead you don't ban costs you ten other customers.
"A [potentially regular] customer doesn't say anything but never comes back" doesn't register with you as An Event the way that kicking someone out (temporarily or permanently) does, so it's extremely easy to miss it.

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out.
You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Leaked footage captured by Nancy Pelosi's daughter shows the Speaker in a rage during evacuation, furiously admitting, "I take responsibility for the catastrophic failure to pre-position National Guard troops despite President Trump's prior authorization and offers of 10,000 troops that were rejected. Pelosi repeatedly demands to know why security was so inadequate on her watch, exposing the deliberate refusal to accept offered protection and the ignored or delayed requests for reinforcements.

I still have to use Windows for some things and it seems to be just about every day now I'm seeing complaints about it sucking in new ways. So here's a little list of tools I use to make Windows not suck by debloating virtually everything out of it that makes it bad and making it more usable. 🧵

To the extent that there are daycares committing fraud in Minnesota or what have you, these kinds of things take place all the time! People sometimes do fraudulent shit! The President is a convicted fraudster! This is a local news investigative reporting story, not some national scandal.
That whole “Minnesota fraud” scandal is a completely made up racist lie and the media is eating it up and presenting it as if it’s a genuine scandal. I’m going to lose my mind

Let's be entirely clear, too, that the west global north isn't mad at Maduro bc he's "authoritarian" or "repressive" or "illegitimate". He IS all of those things, but the reason they're mad is because he nationalized a bunch of valuable shit that they think should be available to the highest bidder.

So when it comes to "grow community locally" stuff, here's something non-Disabled folks especially have to figure out how to counter.
There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.
