your intermittent reminder that the left/right axis is a spatial metaphor, not a reality, that the "centre" is not in fact a moderate middle ground but rather the *centre of power & privilege* protected by the vulgarly overt antisocialists operating on behalf of the polite paternalist antisocialists

...LIGHT?! ...But why...

I’ve seen this mentioned before, but South Korea is the first country responding to the mistreatment of their citizens how I’d expect them to… I bet they won’t be the last now that there’s a template.

Absolutely galaxy brain giga-genius shit to be relitigating "Defund The Police" while literal secret police are ripping families apart and the LAPD are busting up protests against the national guard being mobilized to occupy US cities. You're right man, police funding has clearly worked out great

Hey man, can you think of anything happening right now in the US that's a direct consequence of decades of unchecked and unquestioned police overfunding and narratives of needing more and more police everywhere? Anything at all?

In every creative industry, (every industry generally tbh), you've seen project direction completely subsumed by finance, tech and marketing people with no background in the field who are completely divorced from/ignorant of the realities of production. To a much greater extent than decades past

The fact that blockbuster VFX/CGI were often higher quality and cheaper to produce decades ago cannot be blamed solely on inflation, the culprit seems fairly clearly to be management treating post production as an afterthought subject to the endless whims of marketing teams and executives

More broadly, VFX bloat is at least 90% a result of poor planning, poor management , and execs/leads generallu treating artists and studios like a black box they email to receive infinite executions, revisions and costly minor variations around the clock and on demand

i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed

Okay I guess I can see why this new logo is controversial

The answer to "What happened to [social justice movement]?" is pretty much always "it was suppressed by violence." Official and otherwise. Far from the only way repression works (read the investigations into the co-option of the formal BLM org), but it's a major one.

Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)

It’s been 4 months since I made this comic and I still get people calling me a degenerate for it. And somehow, every time I go on their accounts it’s full of the most mid, non-challenging art on the planet.

1. NSFW of all kinds stopped being tagged out of fear of getting your account nuked. This made using the site in public near unusable, as tag filters no longer worked. More people saw NSFW content as a result, including kids.

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

For the uninitiated, here's a snippet of what I do when I'm inspired

FAQ: "so are you out as trans to your family?" no. "haven't you been on HRT for like five years?" yes! "how does THAT work?" my friends, it just KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER.

“Has abandoned the Democratic Party” should be considered applicable to anyone pulling similar pandering to fascism, like going on right wing podcasts to throw trans people under the bus, you know, anything like that…

This is so fucking vile

John Lithgow and Nick Frost selling out and helping fund the death of countless trans people to put on a Spirit Halloween costume and play pretend at movies that already exist is such a cursed encapsulation of modern western culture.

So there are FOUR types: architect, gardener, LLM thief, and credulous twit who valorizes the thief.

Democrats don't seem to understand that if they don't start picking some hills to die on, pretty soon there won't be any hills left

It’s Bastion Theory, motherfuckers! The left/right axis is a bollocks spatial metaphor, the “moderate middle ground” is a lie, and centrism is alignment with the centre of power and privilege.

This is a pretty good bit

well she did not consider pedophilia inappropriate so what does this even mean

John Waters and his Baltimore pals would always applaud, quietly and politely, whenever the title of a movie appeared in the dialogue. 👏

if you’re on the left, the question of “should you be on a platform consciously designed to turn people to the right” shouldn’t be some head-scratching dilemma

Some pages from my comic WIP ‘Sharper Blades’, a story that asks what could be changed with a sharp enough knife.

Other Gen X do remember that those John Hughes teen movies were just movies, right? It’s not just me? And the adverts… they were just adverts. We didn’t actually exist in golden colour grading with pop soundtracks. We existed in dull boredom with the impending threat of nuclear holocaust and AIDS.

I will say that there's a lot to recommend the Lancer third-party scene's adoption of public domain works for cover art, like the recently released Blood Money supplement which uses Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to great effect pigsriot.itch.io/blood-money

Fuck it. It's Bell Canada

What ideas has silicon valley had other than phone? The other one is "Instead of going to lots of websites you just go to 4 now and they will get worse over time in ways that make you feel insane"

while smiling! Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world. Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate; Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

here is the Jewish cultural perspective: you don't get an education in order to become rich. you try to make money so that you have more time for education, the greatest and most reliable joy in life. this is like complaining that raising children or falling in love isn't better paid

whenever i hear the gen ai argument that it’s great for people who can’t imagine things i feel like i need to bring up i genuinely have hypophantasia

Would it kill you to smile (OC, he/him) [this is one is really close to the heart with lots of love in it, enjoy ❤️]
