Since Citizen’s United decided that corporations derived the right to donate to policial campaigns from their constituent humans, it seems only fair that they should also derive criminal accountability from them.

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

Right, okay everybody, I’ve had a lot of meetings and talks this week and I have to share some top line thoughts. Things are quite a bit worse than i am usually willing to share with people because panic does no good. It’s kinda bad. The baddies have the wind at their back. No denying that.

Folks. FOLKS. I am reading this book RIGHT NOW and it is so freaking good. It is a magical science spy novel. What more do you want?? Premee is amazing at creating worlds that feel like characters of their own and Wickhills may be among my favorites of hers. GET IT. READ IT. LOVE IT.

I saw this when I was having my coffee this morning and it took over my life, made me late getting my kids to school, and made my coffee cold, and I regret NONE of that Except the cold coffee But oh my god that story is incredible, and so is she for maintaining her sanity and humour through it

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

Embarrassed to say I never thought about where that drawing came from, and I love that that the artist is fascinated by and embraces all of the remixed and reimagined versions of their original piece. That’s a good story!

I continue to be confused by the fact that the Treasury Secretary is the public face of this war. He’s sprinting from camera to camera to vomit up agitprop for a war that is…not being run by the treasury and has nothing directly to do with treasury.

I can’t explain why this happened but my brain read this and saw “crowds, schmoozing, and romance” instead of “commerce” and I thought…well a) I have been going to the wrong cons, and b) oh I see never mind

Dutifully, they did.

twice a year, a weird dude would get up on a stage in a turtleneck and throw a handful of new gizmos and doodads at us and we'd all lose our fucking minds now, some creep steps out and tells us that the new rectangle listens to you having sex and knows what your kids look like naked

A mirrored door and front window in a storefront. In the window you can see a cybertruck that has crushed an orange construction cone. You can see a construction barrier reflected in the door that shows a slightly different angle
