I know the feed is bleak, but please have a brand new lamb picture. I wasn’t expecting this one, and he might be a premie, but his mom is great and he is eating well.

The thing about the hypothetical machine that would let every Idea Guy see his concept turned into a finished product is that most Idea Guys have a genuinely dogshit understanding of what would make for a compelling piece of media. Conceptualizing something audiences actually want to see is a skill.

I just found out that Maria del Carmen Abascal who was evicted from her flat, has died - the landlord should be tried for murder and all the cops as accessories. From the fascist who gave the order to the thugs who brutalised her and dragged her from her home www.democracynow.org/2026/10/8/ma...

"In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.”

Octopus Punch

Alt: Octopus Punch. An almost rock-colored octopus is motionless in a crag of rock at the seafloor, next to a purple sea star. A fish approaches, and the octopus, with an almost human motion, reaches out an arm to punch at it. The fish moves off-screen quickly, making it look like it got punched out.
