You’re saying that you’re willing to take a risk that this guy is actually a Nazi because he presents with decent politics to you. And if you’re wrong about that, it’s not going to be you who pays the biggest price. So you’re actually risking other people’s safety.

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

You really expect me to believe that this guy had fantasies about all the early 20th century colonial wars the US did, but took him 20 years to know what a totenkopf was?

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average. This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

People love to talk about murder documentaries but true crime is also bout cool shit like art crimes. Here are some good documentaries about art heists:

I write this for a few reasons. 1) Accountability on something specific. 2) To model to swaths of Jewish leadership that *it's possible* to take accountability for genocide complicity. 3) To talk about repentance & repair work post-genocide. It all still matters. It doesn't stop mattering now.

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs. Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

Irregular reminder Sam Altman sexually abused his sister when she was a minor www.newsweek.com/sam-altman-o...

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory... juliaserano.medium.com/autogynephil...

Excellent.

Marvel has made a show featuring my favorite character? Wow.

If you're a vintage nerd like me, this is great news.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

it was in this moment, where the infamous white nationalist followed by the vice president of the united states shared the cartoon show that neo-Nazis had made about me, that I realized the modern world had gone mad and must end

BlueSky TOS consists of exactly one proposition, to whit: There must be in-groups whom the TOS protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the TOS binds but does not protect.

Oh, dear.

At a "festival" that happened to fall on the anniversary of Kamal Khashoggi's murder, no less.

Jamal Kashoggi is unavailable for comment, Dave- any idea why?

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

EVERYONE! FREE CALL TO ACTION!!! Vote for #iHunt: Loose Threads on Short of the Month. This is a BIG DEAL for us. It could help us secure funding for the feature. Which would be SO fun, you have no idea. www.shortofthemonth.com/films/ihunt-...

How to build a social-media site: -Build app -Let trans, sw & leftists make the platform popular -Rightwingers & centrist contrarians get attracted by the harrassment potential -Start restricitvely moderating so that original users have to flee -Now you know have yet another shit social media site!

the "abolish ICE" people were right

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

We cannot move forward or escape this nightmare until mainstream figures finally admit that there are many, many people on the right - including some of its most powerful voices - who are openly seeking violence and tyranny and exploit every situation to move it closer.

🗣️I’m going to say it again. A⚪️man killed a ⚪️supremacist at a hate rally but ⚪️folks have decided to target HBCUs. The MSM is mostly ignoring this because they love to whitewash hate and racism. This. Is. America. And please miss me with “economic anxiety“ bs. It’s not a thing.

As we honor his passing, we can surely be forgiven for taking him at his word.

The government is us and it is ours. We own it and the services are the profit it generates for us; if we demolish the services somebody else is getting the dough and that sure as hell ain't us, and they sure as hell don't have our best interests at heart.

the answer to "why has the supreme court gone insane" is the same as the answer to "why has elon musk gone insane" is the same as the answer to "why has my uncle gone insane" which is that people mostly mirror the prevailing beliefs in their social environment and they're immersed in nazi media

The new acting CDC Director (permanent director = requires senate confirmation) is one of those SeaSteading jackasses who doesn't believe they should have to live in a society

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege

Number 6 in the series "Jokes I Wish I Had Thought Of First".

They straight up called her a liar.

I don't know what to do either, to be clear: there's no ten-step program to lead us back to normal. There are troops in DC and concentration camps and masked thugs kidnapping people. Normal is dead I haven't given up on building a better world, but we can't save the old one

Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on: “We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Three years to an election and liberals will tell you that you aren't allowed to have a problem with this because we need him to stop fascism somehow, someday. That our inability to dehumanize people is a liability to *them.* Your morality will always be inconvenient for selfish, evil liberals.

Exactly that 💔

If masculinity is always in crisis, then perhaps the defining characteristic of masculinity is its instability.

The Trump administration continues to endanger humanity. From the NYT: "Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said on Tuesday the Trump administration would revoke the scientific determination that underpins the government’s legal authority to combat climate change."

In a sane world, every newspaper would run on A1 tomorrow: “IDF THREAT: IF JOURNALISTS PHOTOGRAPH GAZA, WE WILL STARVE GAZA”

Well, shit.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life. It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.
