too real lol

Another reason why "No Kings" is a Dem liberal psyop Besides the fact that Trump isn't a "king," us genuine anticapitalist/anti-imperialist leftists* don't simply want to replace Trump We want to dismantle the system. "No Kings" heroes made Trump happen. Before Trump, Obama was top ICE deporter!

it’s cool how every newspaper is now like “hehe bribery isn’t real when the king says so”

Apropos of nothing, Muse Score utilises Dark Patterns to trick you into paying for a paid sub, and then makes cancelling that sub as cumbersome as possible. Yuck. Boo. Gross. Get the fuck out of here.

SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the IWGB Game Workers Union exercising their right to organize following reports of union-busting at Rockstar. Our members’ union performances on Rockstar games are an integral part of the success and legacy of games like Grand Theft Auto.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

We've been in court all day at the hearing for our case against the EHRC's interim guidance. We stand by what we said: the guidance is transphobic, harmful - and legally wrong.

One way that I am racist is I quite like Fancy by Iggy Azalea.

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.

The protagonist in Mirror Dreams by Catherine Webb was one of the first I encountered who felt complex in the sense that he wasn't just a "reluctant hero", he just wanted to live a quiet life, but also that was bullshit, he was very much a hero and just a somewhat unreliable narrator.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO! tell me about a book that changed you for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison felt like a homecoming to a place I'd never been before. It was just spiritual.

Why isn’t the Trump administration being widely described as a “white supremacist administration” because that is overtly what it is?

I think about this a lot because I was not naturally a very social person and had to very deliberately develop social skills, small talk being one of them. Yeah, obviously it's nice to chat about Big things, but the Small shit is how you get there.

people bitch about small talk, but small talk — and being able to shoot the shit with a stranger — is a key fucking social skill, and while i understand it doesn’t come naturally to everyone, it *is* one that’s useful and worth working on

UNICEF says Israel blocking one million syringes needed to vaccinate Gaza children

Benjamin Lay was out there THROWING FAKE BLOOD on Quakers in the damn EARLY 1700s because HE KNEW that enslaving Africans was a SIN, INHUMANE and should end IMMEDIATELY.

I never worry about how I am perceived by my peers because I do not have peers. I have friends who support me, cowards who fear me, and fools who have not yet taken notice of me (but shall one day fear me)

Wonderful BBC archive clip about black magic in Norfolk in 1964 - soot-blackened sheep’s hearts, weird effigies, and isolated fenland villages. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWTw...

these stupid fucks keep "rediscovering" buddhism bc tech bros are obsessed w eastern religions

Blood boiling as I read this and remember all the shameless scumbags here who were parroting the NYT lies and consent for genocide, peddling racist lies about Palestinians as rapists when the opposite was the truth all along. Colonizers love projection. pchrgaza.org/pchr-documen...

Nobody ever looks up.

This is EXCELLENT.

Hey, I'm going to be honest, I've had some rotten luck these last couple months. About three different projects got cancelled, so, if you need covers, pages, posters, album art, and you like my style, please consider hiring me. Portfolio: lanelloyd.crevado.com/cover-work

This was fun to do, but, really, don't read before issue 1. Keep it saved until then.

in many ways the writers saying "oh no they killed Bond!" makes me more worried that they thought Sean Connery, Daniel Craig and everyone in between were playing the exact same character with consistent memories and shared experiences, I find that viscerally upsetting

One of my all-time favorite Bat writers could really use some help if you’re able.

such a good demonstration of how AI agglomerates knowledge through predicting text: this is every single bean recipe that you’ve ever seen in your life, all at once, complete with 1/8 spoon of cinnamon (just trust me)

If 10% of my business was based on defrauding and scamming people, and was called a "pillar of the global fraud economy", I would have some serious moral qualms about my business. Not our friends at Meta though. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

GREB is excellent comics.

Honestly very proud of my story in this book! If you like it come by my table this weekend and ill draw a bug in it for you

Two great alternatives:

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close down Quindrie Press at the end of 2026. Please read my full statement, along with information about what's next at Quindrie and an FAQ, here: quindriepress.com/closing

Very sad to see. Self publishing is hard enough, I can only imagine the stress of running an imprint. It really is time for a serious review of arts funding in Scotland, my personal experience is that it's inadequate and arbitrary. Why grants can't be made to expand on hard won success is beyond me.

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

"ALL JEDI MUST D¡E!"

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

Friends, I just bought a Yu Gi Oh portfolio for my old cards and I'm trying to decide how best to organise them? Alphabetically? Bad-assishness? Or should I let the heart of the cards guide me?

this is really all my white empiricism paper says:

always a good time to review this @katebeaton.bsky.social comic, gloriously entitled, “Every Lady Scientist Who Ever Did Anything (until recently)” 🧪

:stares in 1929:

"Employers who’ve mandated a return to the office have paid a price… S&P 500 companies had abnormally high turnover following [RTO mandates,] especially high among women, senior staff and more skilled staff." Mandates also made vacancies take longer to fill. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/07/t...

For any animator (or hobbyist pals), I'm looking for a beginners' stop motion kit for my 10 year old for Christmas. May I ask for recommendations please? We're trying not to get him a mobile phone yet (because, y'know... window to hell), so the more self-contained and analogue, the better. Thanks!
