The irony here is painful. Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name. But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased. Exactly how disabled people often are.

Today’s bit of process/ work-in-progress is page 6 from Batman: The Last Halloween #9! I really struggled with Mario’s pose there in the background of panel 3 ✍️ 😅 Auctions for this page, & the rest of the first 12 pages for the issue, end TOMORROW (Sunday 11/9/25) www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...

I'm noticing a pattern that explains some (not all) reply automod actions: a brief response worded in a way that could be interpreted as personally directed at OP. Phrasing such as "you are" or "you're" or "your" with a negative or neutral sentiment tends to cross some arbitrary threshold

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Buster (now in Ancient Rome) looks at his rival's horses (1), then at his own (2-3), and reacts appropriately (4).

I think the most disturbing thing tactically is that the Trump regime and possibly members of the DOJ itself are intimately involved with the J6ers and their allies to this day.

Important to remember: If the worst of the Epstein stuff had already been released, there would be no reason for Trump to keep fighting it. If he’s trying to stop it, there’s a reason why.

My friend through school and a while after was one of the best artists I've ever known, but was stuck for a name. He drew a guy who handled a bullwhip, and was thinking "Whipmaster," or "Whip-Man," or, anyway, I suggested "Jack the Whipper," and he never mentioned the character again.

"This might cheer you up," said the doctor, who began to read a verse. "This is just to say I have eaten Pagliacci's plums..." "But doctor," his patient interrupte

I work at Taco Bell but what I really want to be doing is living on the road in my tiny house with a dog collecting adventure stories

Sweden is awesome

I guess I'll use a No Kings selfy for a more recent portrait pic for a while.

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

It's so unbelievably gratifying to hear it rain its ass off out there after I raked leaves for an hour and a half in the morning. Makes it feel even better in retrospect to get that done.

OMG! I just got off the plane in Asheville and RFK Jr. Was boarding and someone passed by him and said “quack”

This made me wonder about the etymology of quack. “…short for quacksalver (1570s), from obsolete Dutch quacksalver (modern kwakzalver), literally ‘hawker of salve’”

I swear, Murray purrs. Doesn't go "purr purr purr," but his breathing takes on a recognizable sound whenever he's happy protoplasm.

If you aren’t comfortable wearing a mask all the time while out & about, please consider wearing a N95 (or similar/better) when: - at healthcare facilities & pharmacies. - on airplanes, public transit, & similar. - in particularly crowded settings. - in stores (especially those with pharmacies).

Would also like a setting so that when I click on a movie here, it plays once instead of forever. A setting, because I'm sure there are folks who want the forever option.

Paul Krugman only reads blogs and that is why he, unlike everyone else who has been in punditry for decades, has never lost his mind

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Fools! Did you think I'd wait around for you to catch up with me, like a Republic serial villain? I shitposted 35 minutes ago!

Hidden in the U.S. Senate bill to end the government shutdown is a provision that would ban hemp-derived products like THCA, delta-8, HHC, THCV and CBD nationwide. In WI, this means 100s of small businesses, 1000s of jobs, and millions of dollars of economic activity are at risk of disappearing.

The thing about Danny Kaye is that I'm not all that into him, but, like Mickey Rooney, he could do so many things and do them so well. With Rooney, I believe you could invent a musical instrument and show it to him, and he would show you how to play it.

Raked and raked. I raked until I was as tired as you can possibly get in three minutes.

"To think that realistic fiction is by definition superior to imaginative fiction is to think imitation is superior to invention." Ursula K. LeGuin

"2017 Grandma said I couldn't watch this movie, but I asked 2023 Grandma, and she doesn't care what I do."

"Turns out the real loved ones were the fakes we bought along the way."

Too much fun. How can raking leaves compete with THIS?

repost from memory: "We've programmed an A.I. with the wisdom of Gandhi, the patriotism of Lincoln, and the compassion of Mother Teresa." "Incredible! What does it say?" "We should invest in Acme gold bricks and buy Kellogg cereals."

I just blocked this account, but-- Oh! If there is still time, I would also like to mute it.

Chuck Jones should be forever celebrated for (along with Michael Maltese) the Ralph Wolf / Sam Sheepdog series, with its time clock and lunchbuckets, making a profound statement about work. Indeed, the sight of the adversaries plopped next to each other at lunch makes a statement about politics.

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon. 77 million people voted for this.

Well, we have a house guest. I must remember to fold the end of the toilet paper roll into a point, so they'll think we have maid service.

MAGA has to make peace with supporting a man who partied with a pedophile and is now doing everything as President to cover up the release of the Epstein Files. Innocent men don't behave like Trump.

The NY Times just moved Glenn Thrush around like the Catholic Church shuffles predators around

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Oh yeah! Fun fact that doesn't get brought up much!

5/ criminal conduct of other members of the conspiracy. But to fall back to the common tongue, NOT GREAT! I mean, they tried to help overthrow the election. Now they want a $1M cash payment. No different from these various J6rs and Flynn and the others who also want a taxpayer pay off. Fuck That.

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/

There's a Russian disinformation network operating from Mastodon to push content into BlueSky, it's a few hundred active accounts (they also exist directly on BlueSky natively too). It probably costs more to run than the value it provides to whoever runs it, tbh. cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog...

They are, right now, considering new rules to limit what we can say in public and share information on our conduct with the police. Now. This is what they are doing. While we console panicked students and try to put our work back together. senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/under...

Sorry, I’m sure I sound abysmally negative in a celebratory moment, but it’s important to know that UC admin have fought us every step of the way as we attempted to stand up for our university. It’s become very clear to many of us that they view the values we cherish as impediments to their work.
