Tell the truth. Love each other. Be kind to animals. Build solidarity. Die free.

I don't think we have a higher calling then this.

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

If you need a new Christmas tradition, make it Nutcracker Fantasy
Nutcracker Fantasy is hands down the most gorgeous stop motion movie ever made. It's MOM Productions, the studio that did work for Rankin Bass, at the height of their prowess. It should be on TV every year. aftermath.site/sanrio-film-...

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

DHS today announced its new "Worst of the Worst” site that allows you to search immigrants in ICE custody. The site features mugshots, along with the alleged convictions of each person. I say "alleged" because DHS has made a practice of proliferating false info. about the immigrants ICE detains.

if you want an overview of where humanoid robots are at right now — what's hype and what's real — then check out my long read for @harpers.bsky.social. here's me teleopping a humanoid, and yes i was told MANY times "do not take off the headset until you've disconnected"

Teleoperating robots could have such important implications for search and rescue, space exploration...and these clowns just want to use them as waiters
