In just over 20 years this has gone from scifi narrative to open national policy.

Possum jar in the works

I just listened to this song for the first time. This, *this* is why AI will never be able to do what we do. To do the things that we can do, one must understand what it is to be alive. Today's music 🎶

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle…

Friends, it’s time for a Tool show.

This man is a multimillionaire. He doesn't need the money. What he needs is to continue to abuse this woman. This is a public form of the same humilation and financial domination he subjected her to in private. Public abuse.

This is Colossians 3:18-19. A couple of verses later in Colossians 3:22: "Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not with a slavery performed merely for looks, to please people, but wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord."

Fentanyl doesn’t cause delayed effects. If you’re in the car with me and you “slump over” I’m gonna assume you’re having a very different medical emergency unless you were snorting or shooting dope in the car. Fentanyl also doesn’t cause anterograde amnesia after Narcan. Alcohol and other drugs can.

It’s a particularly satisfying feeling to be walking into a rock festival at the same time that my estranged, extended family is starting their regular church service

These armour studies have been great for getting me out of a creative funk! All done on Procreate @procreate on the iPad Pro

I want to repost this one million times

At a cheese truck: A small human (3?) is given a cheese toastie and promptly shoves it down the front of his shorts. Dad, deadpan, chest shaking from holding in laughter says: "Yeah, that's not sandwich storage, mate." Small Human wiggles a bit. "Yes it is!" (5)

Why do they need The Odyssey to be an overwrought fascist-coded masturbatory fanfic to Western Culture (TM) when 300 is right there.

They brought their dog! #SonicTemple #Sublime

They claim there's no viable solution to maintain the radio operation, despite having 700 affiliates. www.wcax.com/news/2026/03...

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.

REP. @votegloriaj.bsky.social: “I was like this can’t be real, but it is. I went to the website… House Republicans are just big ol’ racists and don’t care who knows it.” Gloria confirms what we said — White male Dems (except Powell) still have committees, Black & Female Dems were removed.

my self-published novel got a lammy nom for trans fiction that i’m still reeling over! queer moby-dick in space 🪐🐋

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

A pop-up has opened in New York City displaying every page and timeline from the Epstein files. Anyone can now walk in and read them for themselves.

guess what, if you join a protest, you’re criminally responsible for everything anyone does.* *you’re not, this is a bizarre conflation of civil vicarious liability with criminal law

honestly I think that the GOP's platform has always been exerting social pressure. they do wildly unpopular shit and just move like it's popular and THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. dems could take a page from their book. exert some social pressure on the whole "human rights are cool" front already.

Time for #SonicTemple, y’all.

17. The left wants doomerism? I asked. Here's his reply and the rest of our conversation. www.editorialboard.com/the-democr/

11. Appeals to their self-interest will have limited effect if they are not accompanied by an ethical reaction. The Democrats need to get evangelical on these people, not only with a unifying moral view but a media infrastructure to transmit it.

10. The problem is there's no way to seem reasonable to Americans who desire freedom from consequences. To use the old cliche, Trump voters wanted to touch the stove. What they didn't want was the first-degree burns.

8. The problem is that whiteness causes ruin, even for those who vote for it. You can't have one without the other, but they didn't believe it, because, to them, whiteness *is* prosperity. What they're mad about now is their own desire backfiring on them.

3. These pendulum swings may seem comforting, as they suggest a kind of equilibrium at the heart of the American electorate. They should not be comforting, as they enable America's worst instincts.

seeking input from trans people please i am cis & need a house mate here a trans house mate is just fine by me & surely there are some trans people looking for an option. so i want to make that known BUT i don't want to sound like "chaser seeks prey" any guidance? [the chickens mostly stay out]

I just don't think democracy is formally compatible with an apex court that views itself as unanswerable to its coordinate branches and which exercises its docket control so to hand down unreasoned judgments that reshape congressional elections in favor, consistently, of one party over the other.

The WSJ employs a lot of actual journalists but if you are one of them it's important for you to know your bosses and your colleagues in the opinion section prefer you personally to go to prison for doing your job than for trump to lose

more relevant than ever really

Totally forgot I’d drawn this, but Tumblr just reminded me Liz Berube homage, 2021

Come July it’s a genuine go-to-jail crime for a trans person to piss in a bathroom in Idaho and I’ve still seen literally zero discussion of it in broader media lol. We simply don’t matter

They are fucking creeps, I wouldn’t leave my children alone with *any* of these regime assholes

Influencers. Ugh.

#bakedrhymes A love of art Belies a joyful heart A love of music A brilliant mind But a love of poetry Reminds us There is beauty In the agony Of every penstroke Suffering Is simply A state of mind

“ooou uuuuoh you don’t have to be left wing to be punk!” all you’re doing is joining in the aesthetic of playing sloppy If that’s all it is to you then you’re a fashion punk. If you actually have real punk principles then you wouldn’t be right wing or even medium conservative

Extremely worth noting - the Black Zine Fair was a masks-required event! And hundreds of folks came and wore masks and had a great time! This is a doable thing, y'all!

Furry baby dinosaurs!!
