Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Nobody should think that Xinis is ensuring that Abrego García stays in El Salvador for two weeks. The threat of spending two weeks in discovery is calculated to get him back immediately. It is not an empty threat.

I heard there was a secret ooze
It turned four turtles into dudes
But you don't really care for pizza, do ya?

They fought like this,
Two swords, a stick
A couple sai
Some nunchuck tricks
Those Ninja boys-a callin

This is what got Reality Winner specifically because the Intercept scanned her documents instead of typing them up.

Also, it's not just laser printers it's also many inkjets.
just found out about this. if you are distributing information under this government be very careful

My grandfather was born and raise an American and fought for his country in the 442nd infantry regiment in WWII, the most decorated unit in the history of the US military.

Having this web page removed from the US army website is an insult to anyone who served in the military.
Why do I put my 4forty2nd comic up for free? Because of crap like this.
The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history.

Disgusting.

Just hit day 10 in Stormlight 5. Day 9 was emotionally devastating, I wish sleep wasn’t a necessity so my wife and I could just push through to the end.

I find my quiet posters feed is my favorite feed, though it doesn’t update all that often. I recommend it for anyone who wants to make sure they see all their follows and not just the highly active ones.

HOW COOL IS THIS?! Scientists have discovered a new way to destroy cancer cells. By stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light, cancer cells vibrate in sync, enough to break apart their membranes! These “molecular jackhammers” DESTROYED 99% of cancer cells! 🧪🧵⬇️

This was a fun read and apparently I didn’t know how lucky I was to be able to get a copy a few months back!
Also, for the completionists among us, there is currently a single copy of ALIEN: ECHO by Mira Grant on eBay for $29.99. Given that this seems to be the only copy currently for sale in the damn world, this is a steal. If you missed this one, this is your chance!

Real talk: I am extremely concerned that the #Section31 movie is an extension of a mistake John Billingsley often talks about #StarTrek Enterprise as having made: justifying the very worst of American militarism in a precarious political moment instead of offering an alternative, better vision.
🚨BREAKING - NEW TRAILER!

A brand NEW look at Michelle Yeoh's upcoming #Section31 streaming movie has just been released! The movie drops on January 24 (2025) on Paramount+.

Honor is un-shattered, Kaladin is the new vessel, after it happens he says something along the lines of:
“Honor was dead. Now let’s see what I can do.”

And the fan base will explode with dopamine.

My hot take of the day:
The fandoms seething hatred of Moash as a character will be seen as a seemingly impossible challenge to redeem him by Brandon Sanderson - which is exactly why I think he will try.

I’m glad to report my fish appear to have weathered the storm. The power outage Gott eh tank quite cold, and I thought I lost 3 fish, I have now spotted 2 of them and am holding out hope for a third.

Unfortunately, the heater is now failing so I need to do some emergency plumbing tomorrow to fix it
