there really is no bottom with these folks

Wonderful color artist Tatjana Wood died 3 days shy of her 100th birthday… her work within the limited palette of four-color comics was always impressive and added mood. Important to remember as modern comics reprinting often relegates original coloring to the dustbin of history.

This man is America, and anyone who says otherwise can go jump in a lake

I made this point in class the other day. Until Congress changes the name, it's the Department of Defense. It's not hard. Pete Hegseth can call it whatever he wants. Uncle Drunky's Funtown or the He-Man Warfighters Secret Clubhouse or whatever. No one else should feel the need to follow him.

Yeah, no kidding. they're so gullible and brain poisoned someday they might even fall for some cynical grifter making up ridiculous lies about productive immigrant workers eating pets

how long before we get landmark designation for every building like this one cc @nextdoorsv.bsky.social

Holla at your sickly archmage boy

Between this and the Zima this show was really pioneering product placement

Watching a video and “90% of the units in this building are AirBnBs” is just cursed

Time for some chromatic dragon Krynn style

Early 90s called they want their terrible malt beverage back

traveling back to 2016 to tell people that the Teslas still won't actually drive themselves ten years later, but check out what Elon will be delivering

This is truly evil

I feel like the level of rounding here is just too much

There's way too much nonchalance about the fact that California is hurtling toward electing a MAGA governor, even if 65% of its voters vote for a Democrat in the primary. Harold Meyerson reports on the top-two primary setting conditions for an election at odds with voter preference.

Your Ring camera can scam passing dogs and compare them to databases of missing dogs and that’s heartwarming and there are absolutely no sinister implications that’s why the guy in the button-down and Dockers is soothing

Is a Spanish-language performance appropriate in Santa Clara city, Santa Clara County, Alta California????

Somewhere among you is a young person with the potential to be the next James Baldwin, but they are now online writing: "Is cortisol-maxxing via monk mode more EV than SMV chadfishing while mogging moids in mixed-use nightlife zones?"

Getting sick of seeing Kalshi ads; turning everything into a big casino without even the positive externalities of funding economic activity and paying salaries. Just endless streams of money speculating on … anything. Why not just name the company Gamblor.

A small landlord is a person who rents out their basement apartment in their house. A person who owns a building is just a landlord-landlord.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Strictly for my Ninerz

holy shit, you mean to tell me that people were committing crimes with the thing whose single use case is crime

My HVAC system keeps getting louder and I have absolutely no idea why.

Call me uptight but if you are in a position of public trust you shouldn’t be filming videos about life-and-death questions like you’re a side character in a mumblecore indie film about finding an abandoned couch on a Portland sidewalk. be serious or hide. don’t be unserious. we have real problems.

wake up babe the right is doing drapetomania for white women engaging in race treason bsky.app/profile/hann...

Finished it; I learned quite a few things I hadn't known. Obviously the perspective on the White House is skewed, but it seems a decent slice of history to me.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

The subject line of course read “Delenda est ICE”

My note I sent to both of my Senators:

Kyle Rittenhouse traveled to another community with an assault rifle and the cops threw him a bottle of water and said they were glad he was there.

Tonight the President is hosting a private screening of a vanity movie the countries corporate oligarchs made for him to show their fealty to him while people hide in fear or get gunned down in the streets by his secret police.

Generative AI is not just the instrument and aesthetics of fascism, but it has permanently sewn itself to fascism in a fucked up human centipede of scammers and grifters and guys who've long ago forgotten how to think.

Thank goodness everyone spent months deciding that the Chinese were stealing our data so we could switch to good old patriotic American data stealing

my entire thing is helping folks understand the often-complex ways in which Elon Musk is doing immense real-world harms, and your brainless "lol he gay" posts are an attempt to divert attention from those harms toward free-floating homophobia you are literally doing his work when you post that shit

public perception says mainstream media is sensationalist, lusts for scandal, will make anything up to sell papers and get clicks etc., and then this particular president does like 10 scandals a day and mainstream media insists on describing his actions in the most uninteresting way possible

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

Watching IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT and uhhhhh

The other thing about normalizing gAI use in higher ed is that we are teaching our students that they cannot trust their own creativity, their own thoughts and brains, their own skills without having it reshaped/shellacked/transmogrified by LLMs. We’re setting them up for failure and dependence.

The fact that Vanity Fair hired Nuzzi after she *admitted in her book* to helping RFK get a role in the Trump administration is one of the most damning indictments of elite media I've ever seen. Not only is VF sweeping it under the rug but no one else in elite media seems perturbed by it either!

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

exactly this. do you correctly view MAGA as an evil force that jerks off over murdering women and flash banging babies, which must be crushed and destroyed forever? Or are you still clinging to a dangerously naive delusion that these creatures can be won over with the Power of Debate?

@weratedogs.com Suggestion is free, would definitely buy

@mytruantpen.com @spurioustuple.bsky.social started this book today; I mean to finish more books this year

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.
