Radical optimism means *working* to create a better world. Mere belief in its possibility is insufficient and often counterproductive.

It's a shame when a politician tricks hopeful journalists into writing and sharing puff pieces. Mayor Thompson sided with ICE the very next day, as reported by a different journalist.
Screenshot of bsky post from Gregory Pratt, a Chicago Tribune investigative reporter. He writes "Immigration agents have aggressively responded to protests outside what was once a sleepy ICE facility in the western suburb. Mayor Katrina Thompson says she’s not backing down. Nice profile from Mariah Woelfel @wbez.org" Below that is an article from wbez.org titled "Amid national glare, Broadview mayor keeps focus on her 8,000 residents: `I can't be afraid.`" The post is dated October 5, 2025 at 10:06am. The wbez article is here: https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/10/04/broadview-mayor-katrina-thompson-ice-detention-center-arrests-kristi-noem-gregory-bovino Screenshot of a post from Dave Byrnes, a journalist in Chicago. He writes, `New: Broadview, IL Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order today - her first this year - limiting protest outside the Broadview ICE facility to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. The order cites "recent escalation of violence by ICE" at the facility as reason to restrict protest there.` Below that is an image of the executive order. Not shown: The post and the executive order are both dated October 6, 2025.

He said this shit by choice, thinking it was a good idea.
Nobody held a gun to his head, but they might now.

Fire Luigi from Super Mario Bros. The Luigi character after he has consumed a fire flower. His overalls are green, and his hat and shirt are white. He has white gloves and brown shoes. In this image, he is depicted mid-run and mid-throw: left foot on the ground, right leg trailing behind in the air, right hand forward having just released a fireball the size of a cantaloupe.

Do you think Mat might've missed Kim's point?
Above: Mat Piscatella reposts Kim Acuff Steiner. Kim's post reads "Until you've built a level and had 10 million people play it without getting lost of frustrated, you can shut the fuck up about yellow paint." Below: Mat Piscatella posts "Energy I'd like devs to bring to all games" with a video of a painter carefully applying yellow paint to a painting that is exclusively shades of yellow that do not form a picture of anything in particular. Mat Piscatella's Bluesky bio. It says "Executive Director & Video Game Industry Analyst at Circana (NPD). Formerly Activision and Warner Bros Games. I helped get one of your favorite games greenlit." There is no mention of ever developing a game or even a level in a game.

Biden being worse than Trump on asylum seekers.
Image credit: @dearwhitestaffers.bsky.social (from their IG)
Image of a tweet and quote tweet, dated June 4, 2024. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick tweets: "In 2018 the Trump admin cut the time people are allowed to rest and seek legal assistance before a credible fear interview from 48 hours to 24. They got sued and lost. In May 2023, the Biden admin did the same and cut it to 24 hours. Now, they're cutting it again---to just 4 hours." The quoted tweet from Hamed Aleaziz says: "Scoop: the Biden administration is cutting the guaranteed time migrants to consult an attorney for their initial asylum screening from at least 24 hours to 4 hours, per internal email that went out to asylum officers tonight."

Duolingo chose violence, today.
Carrie deserves better than this.
Duolingo image of a purple-haired woman, also dressed in different shades of purple, saying "You are a weird woman, Carrie." It is meant to be translated to a different language.

This is a variation of a Simpson's meme with Nelson filming Milhouse while punching Milhouse in the face with Millhouse's own hand and taunting "Stop hitting yourself." However, the meme is relabeled "Stop bombing yourself" with Nelson as Israel and Milhouse as Gaza.

How Twitter is doing:
A tweet from The Associated Press states "California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill aimed at limiting the price of insulin." It contains an image of Newsom from the shoulders up and includes the text "apnews.com" in the bottom left. A blue check user, called Dan Taxation Is Theft Behrman @DanForTexas, has a single word reply: "Source?"
