UPDATE: Nearly 100 migrants, recently deported by the United States to Panama where they had been locked in a hotel, were loaded onto buses Tuesday night and moved to a detention camp on the outskirts of the jungle, several of the migrants said. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

DOGE be like: “If you stop paying rent/mortgage and get rid of your home address you’ll save a bundle.”

I so enjoyed reading Yoni Appelbaum’s new book — STUCK — and have a Q&A up at Vox today about it www.vox.com/housing/3996...

The seven words you never want to hear.

"Musk Aides Lock Government Workers Out of Computer Systems" Vast database: "Enterprise Human Resources Integration" Contains D.O.B. Soc Sec., appraisals, home addy, pay grades. "We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems." "great concern" "no oversight"

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

"This is unconstitutional," I scream as the facial recognition equipped robot dogs drag me to my cell. "This goes against everything America stands for!" I shout, as the algorithmic sentencing machine condemns me to death. "This is not who we are!" I remind the firing squad of child soldiers

I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

Telling your employer to give you paid leave because they call you mentally ill is such baller shit lmao

What the fuck?

We have a lot of art on our walls, but by far my prized possession is this painting of my beautiful blue son Mega Man firing a can of PBR from his arm that my wife found at goodwill.

Immigrants are a testing population for normalization of horrific policies. If this goes thru, expect to see it deployed against other "undesirables".

Good morning! The secret to living a long life is to not enjoy it very much.

Regarding worker visas (H1-B), not sure what MAGA thought was going to be happening. This won’t be a ‘populist’ administration. They are doing what they always do: a race to the bottom at the expense of everyday Americans. Dems avoid populism, Reps only posture. Nothing will fundamentally change.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.
