this is legitimately fascinating as an a real life demonstration of why trump is flailing

The synthesizer is, culturally, a transgender instrument.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

I’ve seen enough. God is 1) real 2) nonbinary 3) primarily motivated by a deep hatred of JD Vance

the extent to which so many men are sex pests is just baffling and depressing you can just Not Do That there is shit that's hard for me! remembering to take in the trash cans is hard! checking the calendar is hard! starting a design doc is hard! not being a sex pest: not that hard

how are your humours doing today?

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

to all who celebrate...

the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment

I don't think Kamala Harris would've threatened to commit genocide in Iran on a random Tuesday morning a month after starting an unwinnable war with them for no reason

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

Really don’t love that criticism of AIPAC is now just leading people into the most classical forms of antisemitism.

the Artemis II crew just posted a new photo. what the fuck

You know Jack Kirby's 2026 comics would be OUT OF CONTROL

10+ of "Trumpism is a rapist ideology" and he just says it out loud

i can't remember if andy weir is a webcomic guy or not. his fiction has webcomic energy.

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

anyone ever noticed how psychotically evil, cruel, and anti-human republicans are

Macbeth is the DUNE of Shakespeare plays

Andy Weir is an atavism. He's a great example of the hard science fiction fans of 2-3 generations ago who insisted that hard sf was the superior sf because it was all about science and didn't waste time with style or characterization. Or "politics."

One in five cans of Coca Cola contains a lethal dose of poison

The Spartans were a tiny parasitic class of truly horrible people in Lacedaemonia and not even THAT good at war

There's a long, bad journalistic tradition: All conservative grass-roots political movements are fascinating heartland phenomena, all progressive grass-roots political movements are ineffectual bleating. This one is written off as powered by white female college grads--the wine-moms slur, basically.

Every single loser criticizing No Kings looks like this to me

I have some news for you about doing cynical posts on microblogging websites

What if instead of being Project Hail Mary and having all these feelings in it what if it was Project Hail Gary Cooper, you know, the strong silent type, what ever happened to him?

how is this functionally different from being pro-trump

In the Exorcist (1971) book the priest has trouble telling if the girl was possessed or just exhibiting the telepathic powers common among teens. 1970s were peak of New Age, but I think the author was just a bit woo woo?

Today is the birthday of artist Bernard Krigstein (March 22, 1919-Jan. 8, 1990). He drew for EC Comics & Mad magazine, and illustrated books, magazines, & albums. Also a painter & teacher, he is best remembered in comics for Master Race, the 1955 EC Comics story about the horrors of the holocaust.

And fuck degenerative diseases. ALS, Alzheimer, Parkinson and related are taking away too fast way too many loved ones. We need way more public money and means for investigation and health care, not for stupid wars and genocides.

Sam Kieth did not bend for comics. Comics bent to him. I won't call his manner of drawing merely a style because that implies some level of artifice. Maybe not since Kirby had mainstream comics seen an artist with less filter between his imagination and the printed page.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

i expect that the Charlie Kirk respecters are infuriated by this callous response to death

I just feel like this might be a sign to retire. Wouldn’t you rather spend time with your grandchildren than with Claude or, like, Katie Britt?

even if you came up with the terribly clever 'zio' all by your little selves, people are using it as a slur for Jews, and it has been a slur for Jews for decades, and a minority group that literally needs security on its community centers and places of worship is telling you not to use it.

criticism of the state of Israel is not antisemitic and is entirely merited, but not if your criticism immediately morphs into “the US is pro-Israel because there are too many Jewish politicians” and then into “we need to impose a restrictive quota to stop Jewish control of stand-up comedy”

Forget How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way. Give me How to Draw Clothing the Xaime Way.

"Zombie" was about a bombing that killed a 3 year old and a 12 year old.

Probably the most amazing image of the night, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi forced to go to the Oscars while the US wages war on his home & people, only to encounter Shark Tank MAGA dipshit Kevin O’Leary, then looks at him like Blade looks at a vampire.

Conan: fuck AI Jimmy Kimmel: fuck censorship Javier Bardam: free Palestine Joachim Trier: don't vote for do nothing politicians The commercials: try Copilot :)

I do not get the win for KPop Demon Hunters. Animated movies should be made for me, a 62-year-old white male homosexual.

Today is the birthday of writer Bob Haney (March 15, 1926-Nov. 24, 2004). Cocreator of Metamorpho, the Teen Titans, Eclipso, the Super-Sons, & more!

Jürgen Habermas, of course, is famous for The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere (1962), On the Logic of the Social Sciences (1967), Knowledge and Human Interests (1971) and Marvel Two-In-One (1976-77)

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
