btw idk bout the rest of yall BUT i plan on living long enough to be old enough to give at least two generations of younger transsexuals the culture and wisdom they deserve to inherit from us

Is Uni even real?

As usual @petridishes.bsky.social hits it out of the park, but this was my fave. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I wrote a piece for Shelfdust about Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #2!

What Part of this is “working on a ceasefire?” Aug 9: (CNN) US releases $3.5 billion to Israel to spend on US weapons and military equipment. Aug 10 (4:45AM Gaza time): Israel targets displaced people performing dawn prayer in a school shelter, killing more than 100. A school. People in prayer.

Imane Khelif sold scrap metal to pay for her boxing training, is a UNICEF ambassador, stood up against horrific bullying, and is now an Olympic champion.

I'm sure at some point an editor told Alex Nino if he were just 10% less weird he could be a superstar, and instead he turned into some kind of space bat and flew out the office window.

Heartwarming photos and reports of Brits all over the country uniting against the far right. This one is Walthamstow and I’ve seen similar in Derby and Brighton. Civil war my arse.

GOOD NEWS: Earlier this year the requirement for US hospitals to report key COVID data to the federal government ended. 1000s of activists submitted comments to CMS, & now hospitals will be required to report key COVID, flu, & RSV data again outside of public health emergencies. Advocacy works!

Breaks the heart..

It's all very funny if you give it some thought

reskeet if you’re a silly little goose.

Me: looks at my phone in the morning My phone:

Rest in peace Terry Bisson author of, among other things, one of the funniest sci fi stories ever written (you can read it here): www.mit.edu/people/dpoli...

Ben 10

FLASH GORDON Dan's the best in the business at Pulp. That's just a fact, at this point, sorry all the rest of us. Taking on the classic comic strip (in DAILY strips no less) should be a tricky proposition but it hit the ground running and hasn't stopped since.

meanwhile, next door in a neighboring universe

King Charles is profiting from the deaths of thousands of people in the northwest of England who have no wills or next-of-kin. He has collected tens of millions of pounds in recent years. Insiders call it his “slush fund.”

Are you sure you won’t join us? The new Trekker OGN has lots of action, sure. But there’s plenty moments of quieter intensity as well. We try to serve up a nice blend at trekkerkickstarter.com

“After an 11-week investigation, Indiana safety officials found that Amazon failed to ensure a workplace “free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death” and issued a serious safety citation.
 The penalty? A $7,000 fine, the maximum in Indiana.“

Happy 70th birthday Alan Moore!

Once again: Moms for Liberty exists entirely so that white supremacists can violently follow them into community space, then pretend that their violence is "protection" of white women. This right here is about deceiving people into believing the threat is real, racial, and comes from Black men.

since we're (i think) having a big bump in new people i would just like to put out a periodic reminder that this place doesn't work like twitter and if your timeline seems barren it's probably because you arent following enough people. don't stress about who, just follow broadly and prune later on

OMG SCHOLASTIC STRIKE

A wonderful—and very comprehensive—look back at Keith Giffen's career. Can we all agree now that Keith was a creative genius? www.tcj.com/keith-giffen...

BANG, MOTHERFUCKER.

A Mississippi mother who spent 7 months searching for her son discovered that an off-duty officer ran him over less than an hour after he left the house. Authorities then buried him without notifying his family

all the violence in the world today has me doubting the possibility of the monstrous future manifesting itself being less horrible than i dread. random acts of violence dot the horizon and it will never end in a decent way. its pure shit all the way down. is violence the only way for our species?

pure grief. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

this is a great game
