okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

They have taken physiotherapy sessions, psychologist sessions, and now pallative care. All lost to us since Christmas. We just have to sit and wait for Ali to... well...

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Hilarity as the D&D party all chimes in with misdirection about why we need to investigate several taverns in a new city. "It's a pub crawl…" "bachelor party..." "for our Dwarf…" "he's getting married…" "to the lord…" "of dance…" "and joining a nunnery…" "an all-singing and all-dancing nunnery."

Zero spoilers, but the composition of the shots in this week's Severance are just... wow. Some fascinating framing and juxtaposition.

And medication.

Guys please ffs don’t let him take the USPS, you will never receive your mail again 😖

It's wild to me that you can be one of the world's richest people and not be overwhelmed with compassion and the need to better people's lives. But I guess the people who get that rich aren't the kind of people who feel those things.

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

When I said I'd love a week where I'm not busy from 5am to 11pm and still somehow wind up behind on everything, I didn't meant that I actually wanted to start each day at 4am. Time, my eternal enemy.

I will watch that Cher Uber Eats video 1,000x and never get tired of it. And I will NEVER order Uber Eats 😆 But I will listen to a lot of Cher.

This is an official NZ parliamentary petition to remove charity status from NZ's Destiny Church, a hate-fueled organization that engages in frequent acts of terrorism against fellow Kiwis. It takes under 30 seconds to fill in. Support has increased 250%(!) since I signed it a day ago.

Wild, how in the macro of one of my nations it can be one of the worst days of my life, but in the micro of my own family it can be one of the best days of my life. I think I will remember this one for a long time.

Oh my goodness, the stories of terminations are pouring across my feeds by the dozens now. So many amazing, selfless people who wanted to dedicate themselves to serving the United States and its land, who were doing important jobs. This is one of the worst days of my life as an American citizen.

Today I got to teach Kid Krisis "Every Good Boy Does Fine" and "FACE" at the piano for her music theory homework. One of the best days ever.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

The stories pouring in from Americans who dedicated years of their lives to public sector science jobs being unlawfully fired are incredibly heartbreaking.

I cannot believe this is real and not a social media fakeout. Pure evil disseminated by the White House's own media account.

[Dog in a burning room saying, "This is fine."]

RAINN and other groups are quietly removing trans people in a bid to keep their federal funding

Not sure which is worse: An artist I love tours Australia on a tour without a ton of production design but doesn't stop by NZ. OR An artist I love tours Australia and visits NZ but only plays Auckland.

My brain is just NOT today.

Wellington's weather finally cracked this morning, and after a solid week of somewhat uncharacteristic heat and humidity everything is damp and grey again as it should be. (Pity the gorgeous week didn't hit during summer break, but such is the capricious Wellington weather calendar of sub-seasons!)

For Reasons, my latest for @comicsxf.bsky.social talks Trudeaus & comics where Canadians fight Americans. "How easy it’s historically been to convince Americans that Canada is whatever they want it to be will probably keep troubling me for at least the next 4 years." comicsxf.com/2025/02/17/m...

In light of recent shifts in intracontinental relations, @annapeppard.bsky.social examines her Canadian-ness and Marvel Comics' history of presenting Canada and the Trudeaus comicsxf.com/2025/02/17/m...

I have been going non-stop since bouncing back from my sick days last Thursday morning. Literally, this is the first MINUTE since then when I haven't been under deadline for something or asleep. I wouldn't have it any other way! And now for 43 minutes of blessed downtime!

NZ Residents: It takes just 10 seconds to add your name to a Parliament petition to remove Destiny Church's charitable status. Literally, just first name, last name, email. The church is a violent gang and should be treated (and taxed) as such.

Every episode of SEVERANCE I watch I get farther and farther away from accepting whoever Marvel casts as Jean Grey.

Kinda wild how the most consistently violent mob in NZ is a "church"

As someone who was injured and reported it to police I think it’s interesting the article says otherwise. There were multiple assaults, blood drawn, assaulted teenagers etc. The article really undersells the vibe.

I love Kid Krisis having her own phone so much because I never again need to arrange a kid hangout for her. It's not so much that I *disliked* it, it's just that I am NOT A PHONE PERSON and calling/texting would never happen and then I felt like a deficient parent for not arranging stuff.

I hate this reality. I'm so sorry, Dr. Renner.

Tapping the sign wearily

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
