it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

Huge turnout of 250+ people at a rally and march to demand Sound Transit build light rail to Ballard as promised in the voter-approved ST3 ballot measure.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

cheers, my uncle george is crying from beyond the grave

Post? Pre? Skeet? Tweet? Toot? Reskoot? Anything you want - you can't do it here on the BRIAN BUTTERFIELD SOCIALS MEDIA WEBSITE!!!!

Feels, fittingly and ironically, very Jack Kirby-esque but on a much larger scale

Santa Ynez California Hillside, 1969 by Eyvind Earle

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

It's good that being a rapist makes people abandon you. I just wish guzzling the money of a country committing genocide had a similar effect.

Welcome back to the Artemis II crew :) Such a huge relief watching them arrive safely!

hahahaha yessss the Great Wind-Down begins. lol fwiw, I'm pretty sure "Remove unnecessary entry points" is PR spin for "it's super expensive for people to hit our LLM, & giving it out for free til now has been predicated on the creation of dozens more data centers, none of which are being built"

Louder for the people in the back.

If you needed another reason to donate to organizations serving people in need, we're making it even easier! Truly so glad to have so many members doing what they can to support this initiative.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

to all who celebrate...

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

ohhh we've got some stone-cold stunners, folks images.nasa.gov/details/art0... images.nasa.gov/details/art0... images.nasa.gov/details/art0... images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

listen, I am trying to be reasonable here, but if you are an In The Know Political Person and you publish a memoir with damning information that you kept secret in order to get a big book advance, you should be skinned alive over several weeks

We can’t unring the bell of an American president threatening to do genocide

If you're in Illinois and you are arrested protesting Trump's illegal war and threats of genocide, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

SPACE NUTELLA

Waking up to the awe-inspiring images from NASA at the same time the US President is implying that he will commit genocide, I can't think of a better quote for the times than this one from Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. I added it to today's Earthset image:

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

One Day in a Very Long Dominion War is now publicly available. March 15th, 2375—one day, countless stories from across the war. A fully community-led Tranquility Press project. We’re incredibly proud of this one. tranquility.press/one-day-in-a...

Time for a heartwarming Easter read by comic genius Evan Dahm

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

I'm getting real tired of this kind of thing from her. Whether she's intentionally spreading misinformation for clicks or trapped in her own doom spiral, what she keeps doing is irresponsible and dangerous.

On April 10th, join host Iris Jay & cartoonists Maia Kobabe, Taylor Titmouse, and PomPoison as they talk about censorship, personal struggles with suppression, and triumphs in the contentious arenas of erotic comics and internet privacy. Open to the public! cartoonist.coop/calendar/

People (and red pandas!) always are curious about the food astronauts eat, so NASA put out this handy graphic:

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

Now that we’re all thinking about space, does anyone remember in 2001 when space station Mir was gonna fall out of orbit so Taco Bell put a buoy in the ocean and if Mir hit it everyone in America would win a free taco? Because I remember. www.theguardian.com/media/2001/m...

"We've got a beautiful moonrise and we're headed right at it." -Wiseman

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

What a fucking shot holy shit

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility AND the day that the Matrix came out in 1999, that’s just kismet.

"It’s Trans Day of Visibility but it’s also Trans Day of Have To Go To Work Anyway, or Trans Day of Who The Fuck is Hiring, or Trans Day of How Are We Going to Support All These Queers Who Are Internally Displaced Refugees Here in the States."
