They find out some of the gold in Fort Knox is missing. Not a ton, but enough that it makes a bad headline. A RW comic creator draws a strip where Elon builds a space station to act as a more secure orbiting upgrade. Elon RTs saying "Interesting... KnoxX 🤔" His fans rejoice.

pretty incredible protest outside SpaceX HQ

Somewhere out there, there is a reader waiting for your words. They don’t know it yet. But they will. And you owe it to them to keep writing.

TV news is dying because the entire medium of broadcast and cable TV is dying, and streaming is not interested in news as a business. This is from me from last year: prospect.org/culture/2024...

Frankly, the leadership of the right is against the idea of citizenship altogether. "Gold cards" for the wealthy and precarious work visas for everyone else are their ideal state of affairs. Expecting civic participation (outside of donations) or any kind of public services? That's communism.

Damn this got me good. youtu.be/fpsjiCQYss0?...

Some people will look at this and only see how foolish it is. But what it also is an attempt to set up a blameless, unaccountable arbiter by inserting automation into a “decision making” process. And tbh I wish more people at more news outlets would call that out.

I like crullers because they make me feel like a grown up.

I imagined how goofy the shoulders would end up looking, giggled, then immediately drew it because I needed to see it made real

Every once in a while, my wife will just sigh real hard and say "it's only been a month"

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

"The mania we are seeing will only grow. And every politician and every pundit and every personality telling you to sit back and wait for the wheels to come off is giving you incredibly bad advice."

*making a typo spelling a character's name Geraald* wait wtf why do I suck and like this better

I just...I need people to stop taking "IQ" seriously as a concept. What is it they think they're talking about here? What inherent, measurable trait do they imagine this number represents?

ICYMI, @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's "Must Read Short Speculative Fiction" column for January includes @mariocoelho.bsky.social's story from Reckoning 9, "We Will Not Dream of Corals"! "[T]his story felt like perfect timing with the current state of the world." reactormag.com/must-read-sh...

Many of the things attributed to error or lack of understanding are neither.

The "boring stuff" is important too.

“The Enemy” this is probably my favorite card I’ve drawn in this entire deck.

This is a lot of words to say" I care about access more than any other part of my profession" you need an editor

*hits record on talkboy* Day 4 since The Event. No other survivors found. Limiting myself to one can of beef, and one jar of carrots, per day. The Men In Black soundtrack is the only comfort I have left. I didn't realize there were other songs, but there are. *pressed stop on recording*

Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity features piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, and governments www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...
