I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.

Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

Of course there should be an Automatic Noodle coloring book, but in the meantime you can get your torso covers and stickers at automaticnoodle.website
I just finished listening to @annaleen.bsky.social’s Automatic Noodle today and 1) it’s a delight, go buy it and read it, and 2) I’ve never wanted a story to be adapted into a coloring book before, but that feels like an ideal adaptation

Definitely looking for more TTRPG work in the coming months. I have a strong grasp on character and story structure, and I pride myself in blending narrative and mechanics in my design. I execute notes extremely well (and without ego), and I work FAST. Portfolio linked below!

Bobcat in backyard - taken by my redheaded (probably unrelated) child. Never once have I seen a bobcat and I’d PLOTZ if I did. Huge cat lover. Lover of huge cats. But no. The girl saw it and her French bulldog scared it away. 😤

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
REPORTER: President Putin, will you stop killing civilians?

PUTIN: *taps ear*

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.
