In a massive show of cowardice Ice is now putting out video “demanding” Americans be nice to the Gestapo doing terrorism against them or else. You know what that means America. Time to turn up the volume and show these Nazi cowards what we really think of them and their fascist terror.

Reminder: Actors are still on strike for bare minimum guard rails on the use of AI in videogames and we have been for 11 months. We have struck longer and with less resources than our on-camera colleagues.

I finally agree with Musk about something.

Happy Saturday! Enjoy your debauchery this weekend!

DO NOT BUY JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION 3 They’re using ai generation in their game, boycott this shit and force their hand to remove this garbage from their game entirely. store.steampowered.com/app/2958130/...

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

I've got two short stories out this year. I'm really proud of both and honoured they're in truly wonderful books. “Watch the Skies” in Fever Dreams, ed. Mark Morris and “Eighty-Five Per Cent, Give or Take” in This Way Lies Madness, ed. Dave Jeffery and Lee Murray, both coming from Flame Tree Press.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

i mean, really this is a fight between ketamine and adderall

That "meat tray" is a fucken travesty. Put those two together and it would still be a lame meat tray. What is the world coming to?!

In finally admitting that they're trying to take away our rights, they're also admitting that we have exercised these rights for years -decades- and there hasn't ever, ever been an issue with it

i know i'm old as fuck by their standards and my opinion is irrelevant but young men's haircuts these days are fucking weird 😄

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

hi, divorce expert here! this is not funny, JD Vance only does this when he's in extreme distress.

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha (breath) hahahahahahaha

I sure do love KING KONG VS GODZILLA (1962), I mention for no particular reason

This is all very simple. Let the world's two biggest babies fight and visibly construct and build a world without them. Anybody who tries to welcome Elon Musk, the world's most preeminent ratfucker, into their political party should be put in a dog crate until 2029.

It's not doomscrolling today, it's schadenfeed.

IMPORTANT: Please remember to loudly bully and ridicule your local Dem politicians if they decide that El*n might be a good “ally” for the party

The Night of the Long Tweets

The most moronic leopards chowing on the stupidest faces is just delightful.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Holy shit (with alt text)

🤣🇺🇸

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

But a woman president would be too emotional...

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Okay, I've just got up and I'm clearly getting NOTHING done today. 🍿

I mean... 😄

The number of times I tell authors this. At the very least a free site with contact details and a bibliography. I know editors who've wanted to buy work but can reach the author. In this, the year of our internet two thousand and twenty-five. Get thee a website, author!
