Devastating quote:
"Unfortunately, I can’t in good faith participate in an organization that kicked off the awards ceremony with a land acknowledgement, and then proceeded to minimize the sole acceptance speech delivered by an Indigenous artist"

I started this meal wanting to learn how to make romesco sauce (success) but the real lesson was throwing a handful of mizuna into your beans is GOOD (especially since I got them 50% off and ready to go in the trash)

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.
But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤
As many of you will recall, the poem in the shape of beating Henry Kissinger to death is perhaps the single greatest piece of literature of this century.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Wow this slaps??
This Is some art I’ve made for Decomposer, a graphic novel written by Mason McDonald. The book is well on it’s way to being finished but we’ve set up a Kickstarter to help us complete it. I’d really appreciate if you’d have a look at the page (link below) and consider helping us out. Thanks!
On top of everything else, oil and gas prices are going to spike because of Trump’s war in Iran.
But guess what doesn’t get disrupted by wars?
Renewable energy. Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Storage.
I mean, who could have predicted that handing over the deadliest military in history to one of the most abusive, corrupt, laziest, incurious, and self-obsessed men in American history during the fall of the empire would be a bad idea

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.

Coloured comic. The new pokedog looks confused, its paws tied to the ground. A furious person (aka me) is screaming: DON'T YOU DARE GETTING BIPEDAL
DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! #Pokemon
A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.
Quote from Michael Polllan’s 2013 book “Cooked” Well, in a world where so few of us are obliged to cook at all anymore, to choose to do so is to lodge a protest against specialization-against the total rationalization of life. Against the infiltration of commercial interests into every last cranny of our lives. To cook for the pleasure of it, to devote a portion of our leisure to it, is to declare our independence from the corporations seeking to organize our every waking moment into yet another occasion for consumption. (Come to think of it, our nonwaking moments as well: Ambien, anyone?) It is to reject the debilitating notion that, at least while we're at home, production is work best done by someone else, and the only legitimate form of leisure is consumption. This dependence marketers call "freedom.
Man, this really hits harder than ever in 2026…

We as a species have spent a lot of time and effort finding more dignified ways to eat fruit, but does it ever actually taste better than just messily housing it over the sink while you get covered in juice
of the two articles currently circulating about Sheri’s Ranch which feature Jupiter Jetson, this one is way more worth your time. there is a fascinating and important story in the unfolding workers’ rights movement in Nevada’s legal brothels that will resonate with anyone who’s been a contractor
Don't worry! That sound you hear in the darkness is merely the deer slithering
IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.
I can’t believe this is real
Importing beef = exporting US climate impacts. Despite the hype about local food, both grass-fed & industrial beef are destructive and flawed systems.
“To me, the only answer is, we need to eat less beef” says @profsecchi.bsky.social
Import/export less too.

We take for granted the abundance and quantity of meat in the modern diet, when historically meat was special and it was used and consumed quite consciously. It was expensive, and for a reason. We’ve chosen to trade that monetary cost for less visible ones, but it’s still very, Very costly.
As a card-carrying vegan envionrnmentalist I don’t think you have to QUIT meat. Reduction itself will have HUGE positive impacts! Quitting isn’t for everyone. But of all things, meat should be the thing we are MOST mindful of on our plate because it has such an outsized and under-discussed impact.
Anyway if you like humans, like wildlife and forests and hate AI and would NEVER use ChatGPT, I would kindly really encourage you to consider reducing or eliminating your consumption of beef! Consider other options, especially more sustainable ones!
There is no coincidence in the rise of fascism and the rise of beef production and consumption. I mean they’re openly PUSHING it. There are few foods as inherently nationalistic and colonial as beef. Cattle are America’s modern manifest destiny, even when other countries are raising it.
