I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan. (thank you to @iamchubbybunny.bsky.social for Japanese translations and @okaywolf.ink for clanky piano!!)

🎶 I'M HOT, STICKY SWEET FROM MY HEAD TO MY FEET, YEAH🎶

A temporary stay. But its something. www.ala.org/news/2025/05...

Tired of ads & hype for chatbots whose owning companies have stolen real humans work and continue to have paque privacy policies. Just so we can generate false citations & shitty images. Yeah, those are really worth burning down more of our forests, for sure 😶 #sotired

This is a fantastic oral history of the last 10 years of NLP and AI. www.quantamagazine.org/when-chatgpt...

i'm mostly not out here just to repost memes, but this is in fact a photograph of me soooo

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

First spotted this hawk on campus in January. Glad to see it sassing about around campus today! Think it's a red eared hawk

A movie you watched more than six times, using a GIF

Nice flowers from earlier this week. Early #flowerreport

This is Tuna. You have once again taken him to the vet instead of the park. Fool him once, shame on you. Fool him twice, even more shame on you. 13/10 (IG: tunathekahuna)

Share a movie scene that lives rent-free in your head

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Whenever I'm feeling down, I just think of this high-as-hell dog I met outside a taco shop in San Diego.

Fieldmouse Press, a terrific small comics publisher, is being clobbered by Trump's idiocy. Its spring catalog, printed in China and en route, is now being clobbered with a 54% tariff. This could sink the company. Fieldmouse is worth supporting.

The ACT UP protests were incredible and emotional. St. Patrick Cathedral's Die-In. Throwing loved ones cremated remains on the White House lawn. Crashing into offices demanding answers, interrupting live broadcasts, not mincing words. May we be this brave and imaginative when we have to be.

I 100% believe Gene woild get trapped in a claw machine and then write an opera about it #bobsburgers

ChatGPT consumes so much water and energy each week that it could power entire countries for YEARS and folk act like you told them to kill their selves cause you want them to write their own emails and not to steal art. 😂

A reminder of the time, in 1991, an ACT UP subgroup (later named TAG) covered bigoted NC Senator Jesse Helms' house with a giant fabric condom. Activist Peter Staley wrote about his brainchild www.poz.com/blog/in-memo...

You can rewatch one show again for the first time ever

Not a boycott but an action! Double, triple use your public library this National Library Week! If you don't have a card, I can look up your system's info for getting one. Lmk! #libraries #savelibraries

Here’s an explainer re possible impacts to the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS). It “enumerates which programs are "shall" programs and duties, meaning that they are mandated by Congress, and which programs are "may" programs, meaning that they are discretionary for IMLS”

The pandemic is over for no one. Any of you could be disabled by long covid at any time. It doesn’t have to be this way

Fuck everything

Post a meme made by you

The way I just gasped

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
