I'm looking forward to seeing the comic's return. It was how I was introduced to Pepose and I've enjoyed his work since.

“Trump weighs military options against Iran, insists they want a deal because they’re scared of him” is EXACTLY WHERE WE WERE BEFORE THE WAR, except NOW IRAN CONTROLS THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT STRAIT AND IS CHOKING THE ECONOMY AND OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS TO DEATH WITH IT

I could take this opportunity to point out how refusing to hold Trump and everyone who participated in J6 accountable has lead directly to this and that is ultimately the Democrats' fault, but what's even the point anymore. I'm so tired.

Look, if you wanted your student loans, healthcare, or retirement paid for by the government I suppose you should have stormed the Capitol on January 6th.

The Supreme Court said Biden couldn't forgive student debt

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

1. Incredible breaking news and a landmark ruling out of Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that hospitals MUST not capitulate to Trump, and must continue offering trans youth care under state law. They found vague federal threats "speculative." Subscribe to support our journalism.

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

Unanimous verdict from the jury: All three claims brought by Musk are barred by statute of limitations. Elon Musk loses.

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

If you're opposed to this explain why.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

In memory of the late Tom Kane, here's possibly my favorite Professor Utonium moment, ironically not from the show itself, but from a Cartoon Network bumper. youtu.be/HMD19RaADsQ

At least six Americans were exposed to Ebola in Congo, with one already showing symptoms. The World Health Organization has declared an international emergency. Around 50% of Ebola infections are fatal.

@allisonpregler.bsky.social @linkara.bsky.social If its not too much trouble, can you spread the word on making sure that the FCC leaves LGBTQIA+ stories alone and uncensored? (If you live in the states, the deadline is May 22nd.) glaad.org/fcc

Tom Kane - the voice of Professor Utonium on The Powerpuff Girls and Mr. Herriman on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (among many others) - passed away today, due to complications following a stroke. He was 64.

The obvious talking point is "Republicans want to give pedophiles a million dollars each because they helped Trump try to overturn the election."

Took me less than a minute.

So we're clear, he's just stealing your tax money.

Hey can anyone help me out? Im currently in the negative any little bit helps

Completely unconstitutional usurpation of the power of purse from Congress. Trump created a $2b slush fund to pay off insurrectionists and to tell them clearly: he has their back if they try it again. Impeach. Convict. Remove. That is what this lawlessness demands.

FYI, Neil Gaiman appears to be lurking around Bsky again All are encouraged to block: bsky.app/profile/neil...

I know we're long past the point where this should be shocking anymore, but I still can't get over official government accounts stating that Jesus is "our Savior."

Republicans drop their defence of a murderer because he refuses to defend paedophiles.

It's genuinely gross to see Netflix supporting a studio that makes AI shorts rather than funding their own animated films and shows that they were doing at the start of the decade and having laid off many creative people. It's such a cynical move if you ask me.

FYI

The entire idea of an NDA to prevent the world from learning you've done terrible things is in and of itself an ethical hellhole, but trying to punish an abuse victim over it like this is beyond loathsome. I just cannot with this dude. This fucking fuck. Christ.

Or… Or… Now, I know this sounds crazy, but listen… KIDS. ARE. FUCKING. EXPENSIVE. Birth rates are going down because PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE KIDS.

you cannot support his work in any way anymore

Watching NPR contort themselves in various ways just to avoid calling it "fascism" is like competitive self origami.

This tweet, for a Ross Barkan story that copied my lede and reporting, now has more than 10x the views of the original. Ross hasn't apologized or acknowledged it; maybe he's just waiting for me to shut up. Without any explanation, I'm left to wonder how many times he's done this

Yes, yes, going back to the days of Louisiana elections before the Voting Rights Act will bring back "fairness" to the system. Yes. Sure.

To be clear, this is where drunken Kash Patel pulled strings to go take a recreation dive at. You're not even supposed to wear a swimsuit at the memorial.

Hi. 😊 Black American here. Norway is an almost entirely white country. The United States is racist as fuck. That's why we don't have a social democracy or, like, healthcare. Follow for more glimpses into a racist society where white people* would rather die than see a Black person succeed.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Seeing Dril enter his Reply Guy Era is the only reason to ever log into Threads

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

I have no idea when in the day this was taken. It might have got busier at another time. But on the basis of this, I have been on stage in front of larger audiences than this.

There's a 13-foot statue of Alex Haley up in HALEY HERITAGE SQUARE in Knoxville. The man has a fucking park named after him, but his arguably most famous work is too much for schools?! The absolute cowardice on display by the school board!

Woke 2.0 needs to include federal monuments to black Americans in every Confederate capital and Confederate city with a population larger than 50

Are you out of your goddamn mind

So what you're saying is Democrats are America's right wing party? Yeah, pretty sure we can agree on that.
