Officials at an Omaha-area high school ordered the student newspaper to remove this editorial cartoon criticizing ICE, then demanded prior review of articles about their censorship. Via @splc.org, which is advocating for the students: splc.org/2026/03/nebr...
Cartoon depicting a "history" factory, with the quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" from George Santayana. A student thinks: "Why does this look familiar?" while thinking about the Palmer Raids and Japanese-American Incarcerations, and the cogs of "Bureaucracy" and "Loopholes" stand next to an "ICE" conveyor belt with "Unidentified Agents," "Detentions Without Charge," "Militarized PResence," and "Limited Transparency" on the assembly line. Beneath the conveyor belt, spilled water from a pipe, labeled: "the cracks are showing", and a graph showing "public trust" in the red.

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got
Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

You'll see a guy who's spun out on paranoia fuel, freaking out at his neighbors, checking his doorbell with a gun in his hand, his wife's hypervigilant for signs of human trafficking in the Target parking lot, they're on edge for permission to be violent. But like, their dogs aren't vaccinated.

Some friends last weekend kinda landed on a working theory that Important Art Museums are some of the last places random Americans will be exposed to surprise in art that might make them feel something--even if the feeling is distaste--because you go as a Tourist Destination and can't pick the art.

I often wonder how many people think of a wildly popular game like "Stray", which is basically structurally identical to a classic point and click adventure game, as something else entirely because it is expensive looking and has direct controls.

imo Shigeru Miyamoto and Masahiro Sakurai both get that Games exist on the same plane connecting Toys and Movies. But Miyamoto only values movies insofar as they can sell the toys, whereas Sakurai understands that a fundamental joy of toys is making up little movies in your head about them.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:
Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right) 
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy? 
What the hammer that hath hewn it 
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee, 
Or an external franchisee?

After re-watching and looking at its production history, realizing how important it was for the historical context of New Line Cinema, Jim Henson, and corporate sponsorship in blockbuster movies, my new hot take is that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) should be in the Criterion Collection.

The office job is one of the best things humans have ever come up with. You press some buttons to make a screen light up and then someone gives you enough money to pay your mortgage. This is far preferable to the ways people have tried to survive for all of human history!

Given that habitat loss is demonstrably the single biggest threat to endangered species, this move effectively ends protection for most species, and a lot of things will go extinct.
