100%. Plus, they're elected officials who are supposed to be working for us, the people. That's the job. If they won't even do that basic a thing, well, then they get confronted where they get confronted.

STOP MAKING LIVE ACTION VERSIONS OF CARTOONS AND GO BACK TO MAKING CARTOON VERSIONS OF LIVE ACTION MOVIES

Hey, alongside contacting your representatives, this seems like another thing worth putting a bit of your time into and sharing around. If we could get "reputational risk" taken off the table, even in this current climate, that could create a chilling effect on these kinds of policies

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

most of my anger towards dems is they repeatedly invoke this trope and then do not govern, either in majority or minority, as if it was true. whereas i actually often do believe it and believe the responsibility to act like it’s true extends past the first week of november

It's the beginning of history - and an era where we'll see thorough tests of the assumptions of the AI bubble as a result of the war in Iran and the economic and social chaos to follow. It's time to stop using the past as a guide to what happens next. www.wheresyoured.at/the-beginnin...

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

You don't have to look for some roundabout explanation for why they would claim this. He's just thinking of "Tomcats" aka the F-14, which we sold to Iran more than fifty years ago. He's thinking of the wrong weapon system, that's all, and nobody is correcting him, because everything is stupid now.

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike I’m not at GDC but I am on the market! If you need someone that’s been doing gameplay animation for 17 years—senior to principal level—with experience leading and directing, hit up your boy. Our best years are ahead of us! New reel coming soon.

Attacks leave dead vs killed

Real heads remember.

I want yall to know that everything happening in the Epstein files is as American as Apple Pie. What I mean is literally everything those affluent white men and women are doing to children is the same exact thing they did to slaves during the American Slave Trade. Welcome to my TedTalk.

Sunday's attack brought the death toll to at least 157 people since the Trump administration began targeting alleged drug-smuggling vessels, in early September. n.pr/3Ntcd1X

I think this needs to be the energy everywhere. Destigmatize requiring someone disclose whether they're right wing or not before engaging with them. The time for fucking around is over, screw "let's not make everything political" "let's agree to disagree" respectability politics garbage

This went on for decades and was his *REPUTATION*, and it took women coming forward to say something to stop it, not anyone who was around him and enabled it. The culture of animation to prop these men and shows up on pedestals, to teach people to shut up and work, is responsible for this trauma.

There are too many stories when women enter studios or work places of 'that guy' who is somehow has been getting away with it, and is in power or is protected by the boys club. You have to conform to fit in, to not be trouble and 'dont speak up' is taught in schools, conditioning everyone for this

In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Short thread.

Truth!

Before and after a good night of sleep. (chapter 4--> chapter 6)

I also recommend if possible to find whatever humor you can. Make fun of these people. Lampooning them doesn’t discount the seriousness of their actions or the destruction of their works - it undermines their power and status and names, and lightens the soul www.wheresyoured.at/make-fun-of-...

I think we need people to start listening to new experts that said this many years ago

"The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranian [children and civilians] who think they're going to live"

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites. Yes. A MILLION. This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything: www.scientificamerican.com/article/ramp... 🔭 🧪

ICE isn’t arresting the “worst of the worst.” By their own numbers, most have no criminal history whatsoever. Tearing people away from their families and lawyers doesn’t make us safer — especially when we don't know who's being detained or why. Massachusetts deserves answers.

"Why do you have to make being gay your entire personality" is always said by someone who's made being straight their entire personality

Let’s look on the bright side, at least the subhed acknowledges the theory of evolution

Idunno about y'all, but I'm doing my best to make Republicans cry whenever I can. Don't care if we just met or I've had the misfortune of knowing them all my life, I'm using every sick truth I know about them to make them cry. If the truth hurts it's on them to change.

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas. I had to reply.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

Again, Murc's Law is not a constitutional provision. Yes, Schumer & Jeffries are feckless relics of a bygone era. Yell at Democrats. But a major reason the Republicans in Congress aren't doing anything is that they face ~no public shaming & ~zero questions every day about why they're doing nothing.

Here's the thing: I would tax 900 billionaires to hell and back for literally no personal benefit. We could set that money on fire for all I care.
