Ah dang. I met Bruce Campbell once. He was showing Man With the Screaming Brain and so many ppl showed up for the signing beforehand that he couldn't greet them all, so he stayed for hours after the movie to get through the line. I asked him if he could gimme some sugar and he said no. Nicely.

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

Michael B Jordan 'disgusted by racial slur at BAFTAS as parents left in tears' Michael B Jordan was with Delroy Lindo on stage to present an award at the Baftas when John Davidson’s outburst shocked the audience.

So... does anyone care about this? That Michael B. Jordan's parents flew to London to see their son and they left the BAFTAs in tears? That he was repulsed?

Still don't think an apology was owed? Some of you people are wretched fools.

Fuck ICE!

Abolish it NOW!

It’s a completely worthless band of racist crackpots who don’t know how to do a damned thing without trespassing all over people’s civil rights.

We just don’t need marauding monsters in our country. Period.

Best description of Tom Homan I've heard, "He sounds like Droopy Dog got a root canal."

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished.

Shannon Gibney: The KidLit community and the ICE invasion I have some friends here who are writers who cannot write. I can write, but this is all I can write about now.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

As Minnesota Reels Amid Immigration Crackdown, a Sheriff Agonizes Over Her Role

Meanwhile we have Sheriff Neville Chamberlain with her bold Give a Fascist a Cookie approach. Somehow, I don't think it will work.

Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator.

In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search.

I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work.

Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. 

If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

Arrest them or stfu.

You don’t want that confrontation? Well the alternative is letting the people in your state be murdered, tortured, kidnapped. Children abducted and abused.

THAT is the only alternative the ICE nazis are offering. That is what you, Frey and you colleagues have allowed so far.

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.
