If you don’t know this series it’s some of the best (and weirdest) big picture SF around.

Pencil logo sketches by Jerry Dammers for 2Tone, 1979. On show from Saturday at the new V&A East museum.

This is an amazing comic, and it's all up here for free, get to it:

Trump and Vance vs the Pope is battle of they both want to exterminate me and everyone like me so best case scenario they destroy each other I guess Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

But of course the consequences are only leveled at women, who must protect themselves from rape by abstaining from any activities that could establish them as equals to men.

We’re the bad guys for pointing out that men often rape women AND we’re the bad guys for suggesting that not every man should be treated as a would-be rapist the second he invites a woman to drink with him or go into his room.

Glitter made of eucalyptus cellulose?!!! Oh my, when that big moment finally arrives, we definitely need it all 💎🌷⚡❇️✨✨✨

I'm particularly pissed off because *something* happened to my sales in November. My Barnes and Noble links stopped working and I lost sales of my new book because it took D2D TEN DAYS to say it was published. And Books2Read never picked it up. Well, going direct and with Ingram. I've sold more

If you're still in line to do your taxes, STAY OFF TURBOTAX. Use free tax USA!!! It's way better! www.freetaxusa.com

an incredibly important project by Connie Walker — most Canadians don't know that the government has an archive of 38,000 residential school survivor testimonies, which are slated to be destroyed next year www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

the first of my bimonthly salon columns for April is about these two amazing books!

I hope FOX Sports is watching TNT and noting that we do not, in fact, have to insert Alexi Lalas into women's soccer.

Please, i hate to ask but can we send this around again. The sooner I can get this taken care of the sooner I can get back to work. I can barely stand sometimes for the pain.

clavicular? sneako? are we living in a dick tracy comic??

It feels like shit keeps happening and nobody is in charge. It can't be Trump. He's incompetent. And most of his cabinet of cronies is as well. How does any of this shit work if people can just do whatever they want with no consequences?

Down a weird rabbit hole and ended up in Demi Moore's apartment in St Elmo's Fire. Am I dead?

The other thing is that in a gig economy there is no degree that promises a good career anymore, not because you should have studied computer science or social media management instead of history or Russian literature, but because there are no careers

The same people being denigrated by economy bros were right about ICE and Israel and even the rise of Trump before the economy bros, but committed the two sins of being right before it was convenient and not couching all their language in soft faux-academic wonkspeak. Something to consider!

Hey all. Yet another affected by d2d's Acme-inspired incendiary new policy of charging for accounts that aren't cranking out the sales The thing of it is: i've sold a grand total of 57 books across *three years* on d2d (basically every ebook sales platform except amazon) More than half were free.

I can’t comprehend it. These are the folks who have created the first visuals for every. Single. Marvel Studios film. Ever. A really small team of people, some have been there for over a decade. They are a HUGE part of Marvel Studios’s success, to just be let go like that? I got no words.

Found out about biodegradable glitter because of a thread on Reddit where people want to be ready when It Happens. Now I’m struggling with choices. Which one would you carry around to spontaneously celebrate?

As a therapist and a healthcare worker, chatbots are becoming a public health crisis, and I’m tired of hearing people who don’t see the harm every day explain why this is totally fine and just like people pearl-clutching over cellphones. It’s getting worse and we haven’t scratched the surface.

3 to 5.6 million feral wild bees

Making events into public memory is a cultural technology you have to do on purpose and repeat over and over. The fight to keep hold of the truth never ends it's generational and idk, maybe we're bound to lose in the end. But I have to believe we can do better than we did in the last six years.

The covid amnesia shell game happened DESPITE THE DATA, in part bc we never had a reckoning or real memorialization The *moment* we replace this regime, they will memory-hole everything they did. If we don't keep clear records and then make them into public memory, they'll get away with it.

according to MPD, being in public spaces is illegal

OM had the kind of day at work where she's watching the Lafayette AIDSburger scene over and over.

Laugh at them MORE

this is what i loved about their 4-0 against spain, completely wrecked them with a quarter of the possession. it was masterful.

Very happy to see @gabino.bsky.social writing about the new collection from @pintsncupcakes.bsky.social! locusmag.com/review/every...

YESSSSSS

Gov. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia has signed into law a bill to end tax exemptions for a slate of Confederacy-related organizations in the state.

Two things: 1) Finally seeing a picture of this clavicle dude has given me the biggest Lex-In-Flash’s-Body-With-No-Idea-Who-This-Is moment 2) It’s going to be extremely sad if this guy inadvertently killed himself by being mad at women, mad at himself, and extremely body dysphoric.

Thread. You wouldn’t believe the number of wrongful convictions and manufactured evidence created to force a plea to a lower felony. Right now, we concentrate on the Death Penalty & Life w/o parole cases for overturning wrongfuls because those people are in peril. But lesser wrongfuls are common.

One other thing that bothers me about dipshits like trump and vance is they are such rank amateurs and incurious dumbasses about every single issue and yet still pontificate on the most obvious shit like they have some incredible insights

I think we should give him the opportunity to show us how well he survives in the open ocean

Is this the incel who was just humiliated on Australian 60 Minutes? They all look alike.

I had not heard about this at all. Big Luigi vibes. via @qasimrashid.com lets-address-this-with-qasim-rashid.ghost.io/all-you-had-...

When I’m doing deathbed karaoke but I think I see Nicole Kidman in the corner of the room

If the worst thing you can imagine is being laughed at? *shakes head and walks into the ocean*

This was so terribly predictable , and is tragic on so many levels

This is amazing... Dr Ioannidis (9 April 2020): "I would say that COVID-19 will result in fewer than 40,000 deaths this season in the USA." Dr Howard: "The USA reached 40,000 COVID deaths the next week."

he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.

The Senate is back this week. Call your senators now and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop... For more information: www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

The SAVE America Act isn't just about voter suppression—it's also a surveillance bill forcing states to hand over private voter data to federal agencies like DHS, who could use it to detain or deport people—even citizens—based on unreliable data.
