Masked ICE goons in the North Hollywood neighborhood are conducting raids. A man was handcuffed and thrown to the ground by a group of goons. A bystander tried to discard what appears to be a bottle of pepper spray goons dropped on the ground - one of them pushed him and aimed his gun at his face
Another DC golf course hearing means it’s time to brush off this one again

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/o... I know recommending an Ezra Klein essay in the NYT is violating *two* bluesky taboos... At least for me, at my level of "I try to avoid learning about or thinking about AI but I'm increasingly aware that I should probably think about it more", this was useful.

One of the worst commentary performances I’ve ever had the misfortune of listening to from Champion, Dixon, & Le Saux today. Utterly incapable of reckoning with how that extremely talented team ended up on the pitch together.
I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

"For six years, I’ve sat in the center of what many call Brooklyn’s political game of thrones — a place where power is coveted, alliances shift overnight, and battles erupt without warning. Some joked I was the Mother of Dragons, holding fire in one hand and strategy in the other." LOL WHAT
