Barefoot guy at the laundromat told me that he could see people’s auras from a block away and they were always either “nice” or “mean” and was like, “Watch I’ll prove it. That person walking in is mean.” And then he said hi to a woman that ignored him and was like, “See?”

I'm fundraising for families at the mpls high school where I teach. We've been hit really hard by ICE activity & are doing grocery runs every day and working towards rent relief. If you want any original art of mine, here is a great way to get it: flanland.com/fundraiser

you’re never going to find a politician that’s anti-police state any more than you’ll find an arsonist that’s for fire safety, that’s kind of their whole point

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

I personally disagree with every American politician and think that there shouldn’t be untouchable state-sponsored death squads roaming our streets.

Just found out why people don’t talk to me (they can’t afford it).

P sure the uncomplicated reason that the democrats don’t want to get rid of ice is bc their donors, friends, and business partners are all making an insane amount of money off of all this. That’s why their solution is always gonna be to give them even more money.

LA folks around Burbank: ICE is out and about in NoHo today, particularly at Home Depot on Sherman Way and near Burbank Blvd and Vineland. Be careful.

Just saw an aged Evan Dando duetting on My Drug Buddy with Jimmy Fallon and it was such a powerful performance that though I only saw 3 seconds of it, I turned off my computer and put it under my desk bc I think it’s shown me enough now.

Dude in this pic is explaining that when you buy a Jersey Mike’s sandwich, you’re supposed to hold it up and lightly kiss it in front of the people that made it to show appreciation for their work and most of the crowd is booing him bc he’s so annoying even though they agree with kissing sandwiches

I'd like to make some comics again someday maybe. Encourage me by buying some of my old comics! itch.io/s/88884/the-...

After seeing Petite Maman I started calling my dog both Petite Maman and Little Mommy (mostly in a Robert Deniro voice) and have now been doing it long enough that it seems weird that the movie isn’t about her.

Gonna support a political project where me and everyone I know can be freely murdered, assaulted, and imprisoned at any time in the hope that the perverts that already have all the money on earth can make a little more.

Ppl are likening this to abu gharib even though the idf has been doing this for 12 years, and just like ICE funded in billions of your money

we've had years now of the far right railing against the concept of empathy, not just an emotion shared by decent people, not just a basic human survival instinct, but an instinct of every social animal species on the planet for countless millions of years

This happened to me over the last couple days and I ended up liking it bc it felt like I was doing penance for the sin of posting.

Another new poster fundraising for Mark Beyer from Le Dernier Cri www.lederniercri.org/produit/beye...

Can’t believe that Gavin Newsom, of all people, has bad politics.

Have no idea how popular this game was or is, but I am often haunted by memories of playing Horse Racing 2016.

Thanks for reading my comics about realistic American family life! I'll keep making ‘em as long as I can eviction & starvation be damned. I’ve calculated it & if I raise $10k I can continue another year. All tips help, but if you can't tip no worries. Stay strong, friends. ko-fi.com/derekmballard

Just one week left before surgery 🥹 thank you so much for all the support so far, we’re so grateful for everyone’s generosity!!

US installs pedophile game show host on a whim, declares war on everywhere, including itself. Rest of the world lookin at America like this is not the wise and even keeled mass murderer we once knew.

Hadn’t seen my 80 y/o neighbor in a month and this morning she didn’t recognize me at first and was like “It’s because you have a new jacket on…and because you look much older. Your beard is white and your face is puffy.You’re all hunched over.” And then she was like “It looks good on you.”

They made me watch tv again and the local news had an ad for a gambling app that sold itself as “finally you’ll get paid for playing video games,” just before a piece warning parents that social media is making nicotine seem cool again.

Sometimes I like to leave my clothes in the dryer long enough so that they shrink but not long enough for them to dry. This way I’m reminded that sacrifice doesn’t guarantee reward. An easy lesson to forget in the laundromat

Sitting here wondering if my life would’ve turned out any different if I’d made different choices, had a different personality, was a different guy, lived on another planet, and was alive during a different time.

They should make a prequel to Game of Thrones.

Last night I smelled someone cooking garlic and pesto but it turned out to be my 30 y/o neighbor smoking weed and I was like “Oh I thought you were cooking a delicious pesto sauce out here.” And he stared at me and was like “Are you making fun of me?” And I was genuinely like “No I’m just v hungry.”

The plot of the first season of The OA.

it's a new year and I'm looking for more freelance work - I write about housing and urban policy more broadly, I've done months-long investigations as well as essays and analysis. You can read some selected pieces I'm proud of here roshanabraham.net/writing/

There’s a state terror organization occupying our cities and towns and killing our people in cold blood. Anyone with any power or profile including the notional opposition party is in open support of this and it’s time that they are all removed.

Only a society that worships death would allow this to go on

My doctor told me that in the new Avatar they keep eating vegetable dip and the dip is so perfectly rendered and immersive that viewers are getting too enthralled by it and are unable to successfully re-enter society once they leave the theater. Medical professionals are calling it dip brain.

RIP to both Bela Tarr and the dog in this video. youtu.be/QSBI3Q8KUDM?...

its liberating to realize that nobody is going to do the truly hard things in your life for you. bc then you can exercise self-reliance and try to do them yourself and fail miserably. like Oh! Okay. then some kind of third thing probably happens

I asked my dad if men of his generation also get the hamster dance song stuck in their head sometimes and he said, “Of course,” but I think he was just trying to sound young and hip.

Genuinely gonna ask the doctor at urgent care if I have Reverse-Lucy (2014) disease.

Don’t think we should be too hard on the democrats because one of the main reasons they struggle to stand up to Trump is because they agree with most of his policies and the outcome of his actions. What are they supposed to do?

I’ve devised a new workout where you do a single sit up and then immediately fall asleep for 2 mins and then do another one and fall asleep for 4 mins and you just continue doubling the amount of time you’re sleeping on the floor until someone at the gym calls an ambulance.

I dont know how else to say this other than to say that other countries are real places and the people who live in them are real.

Probably shouldn’t have designed a society that solely empowers serial killers.

I like to iron my clothes and carefully get dressed every morning before rubbing sunblock all over my pants and shirt so that I look like Ian Holm at the end of Alien.

I post this old comic every year

Forcing myself to stay up until 4pm on New Year’s Eve.

No one has ever been mad at me in my life but I thought this was funny.

I’m sitting in a parking lot outside a bbq place that has a giant flatscreen tv that’s playing Xmas music and showing disconnected slow motion clips of ai women opening gift boxes filled with golden light while smiling grotesquely and dead-eyed Santas dancing.

Have you found freedom . . . have you achieved your dream

Dreamt the other night that I died and it turned out that in the afterlife you had to eat all of the garbage you had thrown out over your entire life in order to ascend to the next plane. Now that I’m awake, I think this would be bad, but in the dream I was excited to eat so many cigarette butts.
