eli shroom's altered ego

fuck off, Pete Docter.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

pick someone who isn't gleefully throwing marginalized people under the bus, if you actually want anything to improve.

Text art in black, red, and pale blue. The center reads: "Commit the sin of empathy today" with a group of melting ice cubes. The border of the image is filled with small blue text that reads: "There is a space in the movement for everyone - Resist occupation - Document state violence - Remember self-care - Stay informed - Join a mutual aid group - Help vulnerable neighbors - Donate what you can - Speak out - Attend a protest - Use your talents for good."

find what you have to offer, and offer it.

solidarity 🤝 it's a survival thing sometimes to just stay hidden. not much of a happy choice, but a necessary one.

ugh, hope you feel better soon 🤞🤞

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

every damn time. it also gives me intense insomnia, which also does not help.

"bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide." apnews.com/article/suic...

this is like

the thesis statement of our times

On the plus side, with all this evidence the war crimes trials should be short.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

yeah so it sure sounds like the u.s. government is disappearing people including us citizens from o’hare

“Greater contact with law enforcement does not protect children — it increases the risk of sexual violence, especially for Black and Brown kids.”

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

Judge Blocks State from Enforcing Abortion Ban Against Religious Objectors A judge has handed down a ruling that prevents Indiana from enforcing its near-total abortion ban against women who say the procedure is a requirement of their religious faith.

A narrow but important win in Indiana. Cracks in abortion bans start small, then they grow.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

"Water consumption fears are false and overblown."

Turns out...

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.

In the 1997 dystopian scifi film Gattaca, rapid DNA testing is used to determine social class and job eligibility. In 2026 UK, women wanting to participate in athletics must pay a £185 gender tax to take part in a genetic lottery where some will be ineligble due to previously unknown chromosones.

a public utility does not need to turn a profit. this is intentional.
