A toaster inside a tesseract which may also be an angel. Writes a lot. Chronically broken. Needs additional pylons and food, badly.

Actually it was Elon Musk, because fascism doesn't need legal maneuvers to enact action against vulnerable groups. 🙃
Last May the IRS announced it would make the Direct File program permanent. It is now available in 25 states, up from 12 states that were part of last year’s pilot program. The program allows people in some states with very simple W-2s to calculate and submit their returns directly to the IRS. Those using the pilot program in 2024 claimed more than $90 million in refunds, the IRS said in October. During his confirmation hearing Jan. 16, Scott Bessent, now treasury secretary, committed to maintaining the Direct File program at least for the 2025 tax season, which began Jan. 27. Musk was responding to a post by an X user who called 18F “far left” and mused that Direct File “puts the government in charge” of preparing people’s taxes. “That group has been deleted,” Musk wrote.

Another picture of it if anyone was curious about the Latin. :)
A whimsical house painted green and covered in plant and flower motifs, with a tower painted with the Latin phrase "quo amplius eo amplius."

I think this goes back quite a ways, because I remember a lot of older cartoons scaring the crap out of me when I was little. XD

It's a big newer than those, but Hexxus from Fern Gully really stands out in my memory!
A semi-skeletal figure of living tar and incendiary glowing which illuminates the hollow chasm of its body and skull, grinning maliciously downward against a backdrop of smog-darkened sky.

Alas, yes!
A screenshot from Twitter of a post by Rebecca Rose who writes: Would have loved more time with the Hexsquad together. In the finale we cut out Odalia and Camila meeting in the Archives and we had some mama drama. Would have been fun to keep that in to see those two interact in the final episode.

Here's a copy of the post:
PainChek is one of these behavioral models, and it acts like a camera‑based thermometer, but for pain: A care worker opens the app and holds a phone 30 centimeters from a person’s face. For three seconds, a neural network looks for nine particular microscopic movements—upper‑lip raise, brow pinch, cheek tension, and so on—that research has linked most strongly to pain. Then the screen flashes a score of 0 to 42. “There’s a catalogue of ‘action‑unit codes’—facial expressions common to all humans. Nine of those are associated with pain,” explains Kreshnik Hoti, a senior research scientist with PainChek and a co-inventor of the device. This system is built directly on the foundation of FACS. After the scan, the app walks the user through a yes‑or‑no checklist of other signs, like groaning, “guarding,” and sleep disruption, and stores the result on a cloud dashboard that can show trends.

This one, too!
Concept art of K-Pop Demon Hunters. The heroines, Rumi, Zoey, and Mira are walking down a backstage corridor. Rumi has her hands on Zoey and Mira's shoulders. Zoey appears to have one hand on Rumi's butt. Zoey and Rumi appear playful, while Mira's expression is more stoic.

NYT, standing up to Trump? They were the outlet which suggested that deporting 30,000,000 people was a perfectly comparable approach to address the cost of housing as a one-time tax break for first time buyers.
A screenshot from the New York Times which reads as follows: "Harris and Trump both have plans to address America's affordable housing shortage. Hers include tax cuts and a benefit for first-time buyers, and his include deportations and lower interest rates." End quote.

A screenshot from the linked article. It reads: Using a practice developed for the child "euthanasia" program, in the autumn of 1939, T4 planners began to distribute carefully formulated questionnaires to all public health officials, public and private hospitals, mental institutions, and nursing homes for the chronically ill and aged. The limited space and wording on the forms, as well as the instructions in the accompanying cover letter, combined to give the impression that the survey was intended simply to gather statistical data. Paragraph ends. The section referencing nursing homes for the chronically ill and aged has been highlighted by the poster.

It's been a shitty couple days.
A screenshot from the mass shooting database denoting six mass shootings having taken place between September 27, 2025, and the following day. The shootings took place in Texas, Michigan, two in Louisiana, and two in North Carolina. A total of eight victims were killed, 33 were injured, the suspect was killed in one incident, and two were arrested in separate incidents.

Have some good faith, folks. We're not talking about a JK Rowling whose representation is so thin that it might not actually exist. Dana hasn't been afraid to be bold with her support of non-cis identities before and there's no reason to think she's some sort of "LGB without the T" figure.

Also just as an aside while I was thinking about that last one, I love the breadcrumbs the show tosses out of other characters being in relationships. I'd call them queerbaiting anywhere else, but is it baiting if there's actual queer content?
A screenshot from The Owl House of two girls hanging out outside a cafe. One is dark-skinned with a cartilage piercing and has her dark hair in braids, and is perched up on a stone column; the other has has her back to the viewer, but appears to have her hair in a thick side-tail, and is leaning toward the first girl with her foot on a metal fence. Both are wearing casual warm weather clothing and their body language suggests being quite friendly toward each other. A screenshot from The Owl House of two male-appearing characters dancing in a school prom style enivronment. Both are wearing suits; one has his hands on the other's waist, the other has his hands on his partner's shoulders, and they appear nervous. One is thickly built and humanoid aside from having pointed ears (normal for this show, denoting him as a witch); the other has blue skin, fin-like ears, a singular eye, and a short unicorn-styled horn (marking him as a demon, also normal for this show).

An unnamed character from The Owl House wearing a blue and white striped shirt, ragged black jean shorts, a choker, and square-framed glasses. Their gender is difficult to determine due to shortage of speaking lines and ambiguous presentation.

Oh, since some of the folks on Discord don't have bsky to express their approval, have eight "Skarawe" reactions courtesy of the Owl Trust server. XD
A screenshot of this image series posted to a Discord server. There are eight reactions. Skara from The Owl House, a dark-skinned witch with pointed ears and off-white and black hair pulled back in a thick ponytail, clasps her cheeks in an expression of awe.

Easter egg: A Gravity Falls reference. The series in which Eda actually made her media debut, technically!
A screenshot closeup of a slip of paper, on which a triangular entity has been drawn. While half the paper is covered to conceal the entity's identity, the viewer can see a tiny top hat atop its head and that it has multiple limbs and a large singular eye, making it almost certainly a picture of Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls.

Willow's shirt is a reference to Mabel from Gravity Falls, too. ^^

Momentarily thought the top one was yet another in the collection. Meet Albert Vanderboom of the Rusty Lake games. (To be fair, he's wearing a mask. To be unfair, the man becomes the mask.)
A man in an antlered deer skull mask, wearing a tan suit and holding two sinister poppets in his hands. The shadow of a humanoid figure with antlers, staring at the viewer with glowing eyes, standing in front of a lake shrouded in mist with mountains in the far distance.

If you swap the order of the blue and green, it's almost the polysexual pride flag. XD

One of the few artists I follow on Patreon! I've got a few pieces of his merchandise too. Actually, just talking about it reminded me that he's got a shop, so I just ordered two new prints. XD
An art print of characters from The Owl House. Luz and Amity are dancing in front of a large eclipsed moon. Amity is in the process of dipping Luz, who is wearing her signature tuxedo and tutu combination. The artwork is soft, striking, and romantic. A print from The Owl House. An older, disheveled and depressed Luz reclines on several bags of trash, holding her favorite book to her chest for comfort.

Plus we got the lesbian sticker in the scrapbook!
A screenshot from The Owl House depicting a photo album. Three images are arranged on the page, along with a variety of heart-shaped stickers, including ones in the colors of the bisexual pride and lesbian pride flags, and a partially covered rainbow symbolizing LGBT pride. Two of the photos depict Luz and Amity sharing a milkshake, with one featuring Amity blushing and panicking as she realizes she's being photographed. The last photo is of Luz teaching Amity how to draw magical glyphs, with Amity looking perturbed at her inability to draw a perfect circle.

For the Future in particular was trying to kill us.

Incidentally, that shirt...
An image from The Owl House storyboard pilot in which Eda's shirt definitely reads "30 and Flirty."

And various descriptions from Stan about his ex wife, Marylin Fakename, include the traits "big hair, a sharp tooth, and a shirt reading 'Over 30 and Flirty.' "
An image of Eda Clawthorne, but it's signed Marylin instead. She's posing with a racoon and winking flirtatiously. Another image of Edalyn Clawthorne, in which she has big hair, a sharp tooth, and a mug reading "30 and Flirty."
