There's no money, just fun.

If I use yours, know that it will make someone who buys your fortune either laugh or cry or both, and you'll have had an effect on someone's day.

Perhaps you're in the market for some timely and depressing prognostication by cute animals?

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Dream of 30 years ago:

Journalist.

Dream of today:

buy a vending machine and fill it will weird shit.

I have a feeling the vending machine is the safer bet right now, which is a gawdamned shame.

Seeing Rolling Stone lay off multiple staff less than three weeks before Christmas, one of them Brittany Spanos, a cover story writer with 11 years at the title, really confirms how bad things are in media right now

Rolling Stone is a sister title of my former employer, and they were a few floors below the one I worked on. I would take people there to take photos with the iconic logo after visiting my office. And they had laid off other senior staff earlier this year.

One thing I didn't anticipate was how much I'd enjoy buying other people's stuff for the Shaggin' Wagon.

LOOK AT THESE PATCHES.

You can't claim to be supportive of semitic people if you approve of Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Palestinians are semitic. BOTH people have the right to exist! Israel have been bulldozing Palestinians' neighborhoods for decades and have continually annexed their lands.

Last year all 9 Tribes in S Dakota banned guvnah Krispy Gnome from their land. Oglala Sioux’s Pine Ridge reservation is the largest, and unlike the gnome, they care about their dogs. 🐕

This is absolutely awful. This was one of the best resources for climate indicators data, and my go-to share for help answering public questions.

Luckily I captured some of them on my new U.S. climate page a few months ago: zacklabe.com/united-state...
Additionally, it appears that all of EPA's previously extensive "indicators of climate change" pages have been scrubbed entirely. The pages no longer exist; there are numerous dead links on the current/live EPA site, and no indication they have been moved to a new URL.

This is a gift. Thank you to @siembranc.bsky.social for sharing this new toolkit with what they did when Border Patrol showed up in NC: docs.google.com/document/d/1... - share far and wide especially with our comrades in MN and LA (New Orleans esp).

In November 2025, Border Patrol announced it would be coming to Charlotte, North Carolina. We only had a few days’ notice. Just like in Chicago and Los Angeles, they weren’t coming to “keep the peace....

Once again gonna recommend the QAA podcast where people who worked with him on a cop show had to constantly tell him that he couldn’t actually do what the character did (like beating people) and that he had to pretend instead of doing it for real

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

When people pay in cash at shows that money literally buys my groceries. I don’t put it in the bank I just pay cash for all my food, it’s great. Direct action. That 20 bucks you gave me is going straight to winco in a few days and ima turn it into bananas and bagels.
