Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about 'Ablaut reduplication.'
If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.'

If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’

They’re calling it a Victorian disease because they think admitting they’re bringing back a disease that used to ravage the working poor as the wealthy profited is somehow better?
There’s a tuberculosis outbreak at an Amazon warehouse in the UK.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

ICE is not Gestapo, but slave patrols.
It's not foreign, but deeply American, categorical brutalization of non-white people (& now those who stand up for them).
They do not need to have warrants, and people facing deportation are not entitled to lawyers, or what we imagine as due process.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It seems silly to do it now especially since I'm still reading! There's still half a month to go and plenty of books I gotta get through!

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.
