This movie makes me so angry at the current state of streaming services If this were back in the days where stuff like Hot Fuzz got theatrical runs, it would be a cult classic. Just an absolute blast. And now its buried in 800 other drops and no one knows it exists.

hard to be creative lately. here's a guy 4 u

" ... she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror. " prospect.org/economy/2025...

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

this is a great episode of @fivefourpod.bsky.social about your right to remain silent - you have to say out loud that you want to remain silent & then you actually have to stay silent.

Wow! Another award for the work my IJB colleagues and I did on lead in drinking water. Excellent news!

the one thing I miss about having a job is leaving a meeting and immediately texting my work bestie “what the fuck was that???”

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, @jamesstout.bsky.social and Miriam talk about how to stay safe with danger all around. They talk health and safety basics for protests like security culture, protective gear, first-aid kits, and dangers like projectiles, tear gas, and pepper spray.(1/2)

Uhhh so quick update on our hours this week: we are now closed until Tuesday. You can thank last night’s storm for flooding half our showroom 😭 In the meantime, please support us on our webstore at www.ghoulish.rip We can still ship stuff!

On one hand, being laid off has absolutely crushed my self esteem On the other, hey, it's not like I can concentrate and be functional right now anyway

A joint project of @freedom.press and @eff.org: Journalists have been asking us about how to prepare devices for travel. We put together a checklist of things you can do: freedom.press/digisec/blog...

BTW, our new guide on protesting safely in the age of surveillance is unpaywalled. From phone safety tips to just how much law enforcement can track your movements, take a look at the guide:

Went on a lovely walk, heard many birds, saw some black-capped chickadees and chimney swifts. Walked around a garden in light rain and ran a quick errand. Then a cybertruck drove past me, squeaking loudly in the rain 😒

girls be like “i know a spot” then sacrifice you under the full moon.

Queer? Concerned about the ways in which age-verification and "harmful to minors" bills are being weaponized censor LGBTQ+ communities? @fightforthefuture.org is (brilliantly) sending a legislators and orgs that support these bills: you're not an ally and you're not welcome at Pride. Sign! ⬇️

Federal government opens distress hotline for Canadians forced to cheer for Oilers thebeaverton.com/2025/06/fede...

I love reading serious stories about guys who believe AGI is real, it feels like a bunch of millionaires plotting to find and capture Santa Claus

Statistics Canada via @mtlgazette.bsky.social "return trips by Canadian residents by air from the U.S. in May fell 24.2 per cent compared with a year ago" "Canadian resident return trips from the U.S. by automobile totalled 1.3 million, down 38.1 per cent compared with May 2024"

The French government says it plans to require age-verification — face-scanning, biometrics and ID uploads — to access Bluesky. Users will have to submit to the process each time they open the app. It’s hard to express how dangerous this is and the damage it will do to this community.

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation. Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/

A huge thank you to everyone who came out for TCAF & made my very first one such a success!! Toothy tidings @torontocomics.bsky.social 🦷🫶

Please read this article. The name "AI" has people convinced that LLMs are intelligent when it's closer to a fancy parrot with access to Google. ChatGPT is tearing education and mental health apart. If AI fans are right and "it's just a tool", then it's a tool designed to destroy you.

More info of the exact nature of these sanctions is laid out in the backgrounder. The two far-right ministers can’t do any business in Canada or with Canadians at home or abroad. They also aren’t allowed into Canada.

It's a drop week! We doin rainbows this time! Lots of goodies hit the shop this Friday for our first Pride drop and here's a little sneak peek :3

A data broker owned by the major airlines, including Delta, American, and United, collected travelers’ flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection, and in the contract told CBP not to reveal where the data came from. From @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

AI has the most divorced uncle energy of any tech hype cycle, every move like this feels desperate and weird rather than futuristic. Maybe if you have to "train people to use AI" so intensely it's not actually intelligent? and maybe sucks?

"What we are witnessing in Los Angeles is not only a protest; it is self-defense." Fuck yeah, @melissagiragrant.com. Read and share this. newrepublic.com/article/1963...
