the answer to his hypothetical about a five year old American citizen is his party would like to deny it food and healthcare if its parents are working but poor and that the party would like to tear gas the American child if the parents take the kid to do free speech incorrectly

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

While you were “making friends” and “having fun outside” as a child, I was clipping and cataloging (and recataloging, apparently) daily strip comics in photo albums. We are not the same.

Good morning, Blueskies! I've been back in the shop here & there, but I'm doing a half shift today & will be here until 3pm. Do not come out in the cold if you are not REALLY BUNDLED UP, but if you can handle the temperatures, I hope you'll come visit! -kjc

art buds: I’m trying to get my life together and that includes finally buying proper art portfolios for all the gorgeous pieces I’ve accumulated over the years of my career. is the ITOYA brand as good as the internet reviews would lead me to believe or is there Secret Better Alternative out there?

Oh she’s phenomenal. This is Sophia Chang.

the one (1) good labubu is located in highland park

reference “humor” is the absolute most immediate way to put me off of any creative endeavor

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

Me on every single flight because I’m too cheap to ever pay for wifi.

making stuff is important. making bad stuff is often the first step towards making good stuff; but mostly, it's important because it means you're making stuff.

Most Heated Rivalry coverage has been focused on what young people, particularly younger straight women, think. I cover aging and decided to ask older gay men about their thoughts. I found: A founder of what may have been the first gay hockey blog, a wedding cake shaped like a Zamboni and more.

I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

I love reading my Friendship Newsletter (three days worth of slack messages I fell behind on)

🎶babes don't threaten me with a good time🎶

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

And how every woman needs to decide what they are willing and able to sustain--physically, emotionally, psychically--in order to not just advance, but simply remain in their chosen professions long-term.

More than one.

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else. newrepublic.com/post/206088/...

If you'd told me, a decade ago, that the rising concept of the 'influencer' would one day serve as a transmission belt for the elevation of subliterate clowns seeking to provoke pogroms in exchange for promotional deals with online betting companies, I'd probably have said, "That tracks."

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

A lot of people are choosing to miss the point here which is not “Every problem is super easy to solve and democrats refuse to do it” but that when there *is* a simple solution they will insist it’s much more complicated and the simple solution is impossible.

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

"What’s so special about the romance genre is that it doesn’t have to smuggle its character arcs into some kind of larger plot-driven package. The character work is the story engine in a way that’s singularly rewarding...And few shows have explored that as purely—or as carnally—as Heated Rivalry."

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

Jeffery Epstein collaborated with major figures in tech like Peter Thiel to target trans people, especially trans women. This thread is about how I & many others have been directly affected in the tech industry by this coordinated campaign of transphobia & hatred.

Look animation is the bane of modern financialization. Its slow, expensive, and requires specialized knowledge. Its also always popular. They can’t help but try to destroy it along the way. But it never dies.

here's my entry!! #Comics4Liam

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

Man, JPL was so great

Can't be exaggerated: every bully believes themselves a victim. Even Hitler! Even US slave owners! It's part of the psychology. There is no amount of power or privilege that can ameliorate it.

There were many things that resonated in this Ta-Nehisi Coates interview, but “you don’t get to say Well Actually Palestinians Voted For Hamas So They Asked to Be Genocided and then turn around and be like Um We Didn’t Vote for THIS in the US So It’s Not Our Fault” was a particular standout.

every time i see some new attempt to Streamline and Optimize our Lives i think about this kurt vonnegut quote that does rounds. we're dancing animals! not everything needs to be optimized! sometimes a tedious task creates an unlikely opportunity to learn something about yourself! or for joy!!
