NEW: ICE agents reportedly lied their way into Columbia housing, without a warrant, to arrest yet another student.
This comes almost one year after plainclothes ICE agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil at his Columbia residence, also without a warrant. ICE has no place on our campuses or in our streets.
Trans people just want to live but they are constantly under attack by rich pedophiles.

I'm sure this will be a gift for stalkers and domestic abusers.
This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.
Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
It absolutely fucking is, and here's 95 reasons why.

Terrible restaurant could close unless people enthusiastically embrace bad food, complains chef.

Difficult to understate what will happen if any of these bills pass. And shame on @warren.senate.gov for co-sponsoring KOSA. If she doesn’t change course she’s an enemy of the LGBTQ+ that she supposedly supports
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
Counter point: I will criticize and boycott every single god damn studio till they get the fucking point. Every studio that vows not to use AI has my money. Its this fucking simple.
Transformative work of the day, I have friends everywhere edition
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.
As you may know, my current living situation is changing in two weeks. Even with my hours cut dramatically, I will still be saddled with all household bills, sans rent.
Please consider booking a tarot reading with me for the new year! Let’s look at what 2026 has in store. 👁️

Illustration by KitsuneArt, limited colour palette (blue and yellow/gold). Frodo and Sam from the Lord of the Rings movie (the Two Towers) standing in the ruins of Osgiliath, holding hands. On top of their heads Sam's words, handwritten by KitsuneArt: "There is some good in this world and it's worth fighting for".
"But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. [...]"
"...There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."
Greedy corporations are exploiting service workers with unpredictable schedules and little to no benefits.
Workers deserve better.
My Schedules That Work Act and Part-Time Worker Bill of Rights would give workers the protections they deserve.

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.
You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat
News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.
