‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse
DEPARTMENT Homeland Security @DHSgov The stakes have never been higher, and the goal has never been more clear: Remigration now.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

A white stoat wearing an elegant tweed suit with a red vest. He holds a lantern out, autumn leaves swirling at his ankles, while an banner flutters over his head that reads "Unclench your jaw."

Heathcliff drives down the street in a yam car- a yam with wheels and a steering wheel- while wearing a pink helmet that reads YAM. A road sign reads "HAM LIMIT 25". A couple watches him drive by, and one of them says "Not sure of the yam limit."

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

This is so much fun!!! I hope the originator doesn't feel bad, Frieren Looking Up is so delightful because of all the different ways artists try to "solve" a drawing like this. Some really accomplished artists struggled here! It's nice to remember some things are just hard to draw no matter what.

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:

-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs
What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

when RWers say "grooming" they mean "threatening my patriarchal sexual authority, corrupting my property, damaging my goods." they don't actually mean anything to do with sexual abuse, which they see as perfectly permissible under the right circumstances.

(2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one.

Heathcliff approaches a large blank canvas holding an easel and paintbrush and wearing a yellow helmet with the word "NUDE" emblazoned across it. An angry Grandma Nutmeg looks down at him and says "No nudes."

Words cut out from religious abstinence and marriage books are pasted on to a background image of a root beer float just being mixed up. The words read, "the world offers an overflowing cornucopia of sexual imagery. All evangelical Christians affirm that once a guy starts looking at naked images, he wants to see more. And before they know it, they're neck deep in sexually explicit 8 hours of shooting, spinning, and thrusting! And sex is so much more than just intercourse."
