1. I didn't realize the mcrib costs that much!
2. I didn't have any expectations that it had actual rib meat in it.
3. I didn't realize the mcrib was 45 years old.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican.

GOOD. Fuck "A.i." and the damage it does to the creative community. Remove it from your life as much as you possibly can.
"No fucking AI assets" - a reminder that many good publishers that will disqualify any prototype with genAI placeholders, and that using it is at your own peril. Hooded Horse happens to be one of the best publishers out there at the moment, so this is a big one.

It’s Windcharger and his infamous Piss Net. I don’t remember what that is, it’s been a loooong time and he died off-screen.
The car is shaped like the original, which I love, and these are the tightest joints on a retail robot I have encountered. He’s perfect. Almost done with these little guys.

I'm sorry, but back in September, we should have been more respectful of Charlie Kirk. We should have been getting AI to put him in a bikini while blood splattered out. You live and you learn.

I am begging people to understand that Trump is a symptom, not the illness.
And if you treat the symptoms but don't cure the illness, the symptoms will return.
The illness is white supremacy. AMERICAN white supremacy.

I'm noticing a real trend in audience reactions to a story within a story. They immediately believe a story a character tells about themself without bothering to go "OH, hey! This character might be lying for reasons!" Just because someone tells you a story doesn't make it true. Unreliable narrator.

The Iowa Department of Administrative Services has proposed a bill to eliminate "Iowa City" from the law they claim they haven't violated by closing the Iowa City center.
Sued by family of deceased donors to the archive, DAS claims only the donors themselves have standing to enforce agreements.

the thing that proves that “defund the police” was a good and effective slogan is the fact that people remember and and white people committed to upholding some version of our current white supremacist police state won’t shut the fuck up about how divisive it is.

My most nuclear philosophical take, particularly as a student of Black and Africana Philosophy of liberation, is that there is no such thing as a "non-violent" protest.
Any protest that disrupts the activities of life to call attention to injustice is "violence" in the eyes of an oppressive state.
