Been thinking a lot about Chris Hedges talks about working as a Journalist in Yugoslavia during the Bosnian Genocide The cascade of how bad shit can get from Status Quo to all out chaos & brutality is a speed I dont think we're ready to mentally admit to But it's probably worth reminding ourselves

Oh the utter decadence of adding a Carbonara sauce to your instant ramen

Recent events should cast serious doubts on CM Kettle, Juarez, Hollingsworth, Rivera, and Saka's decision to expand Seattle's surveillance program against unanimous opposition. Their lack of imagination for tragedy is at *best* colossal incompetence, and at worst it makes them accomplices to ICE.

Regarding WA state continuing to give drivers license data to ICE, despite saying they stopped: "If we can't keep data secure that we're collecting, do we have any business collecting it in the first place?"

A lot of people’s problems with injustice and cruelty is that they don’t like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong

I remember someone said that it’s funny that the liberal solution to cop violence always tends to be giving them more funding. If things are going well, it’s more reason to fund them more. And if they’re going badly, then they need more funding for trying and hiring even more cops.

The United States is the mullet of countries: online sports betting in the front, air strike in the back

I mean, true, but that shit didn’t stop you with Gaza did it, Herr Steinmeier?

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will

Even MORE autofellation from the Times: Here's how our photographer got the shots during their MARATHON INTERVIEW (did you know it was TWO HOURS?!)

Shaun Scott will always have the “2019’s Most Vindicated Man” award in my house.

Hell yeah, new operating system update - let's get everything shittier and slower in here but it looks like glass

Making art is nice, because it tricks you into thinking there’s always something you can do next, always something yet to come. But of course, like the drawings you make, this is an illusion.

Cannot express how nostalgically beautiful some of the US Acres background paintings are.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

why do the two dem leaders literally walk like the virgin in the chad virgin meme

The real question is what will Mayor Wilson do with the Secret Gym that Mayor Harrell and his bodyguards had in City Hall that they apparently never used.

More like Randy *Not* Fine, amrite? Amrite?

Lol, it's bad when the NYT accidentally has to say something honest.

Every 'radical' slogan like 'Abolish ICE' or 'Defund the Police' is going to look like saying that bathwater should be hot.

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point

HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS

oh fuck

Eight years ago this stuff was the domain of creeps and losers, too toxic for any company to support. Now the world's richest man is being rewarded for it. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Seems bad.

The true horror of Alien: Isolation is that Amanda Ripley basically relived the horror of her mother‘s life and died before her mother was revived to continue the same trauma. The suggestion is there is no teleological progress under hyper capitalism.

a thing younger people will never understand is on the early internet we used to just have files you'd just download a file to have, not to use, to share, anything you'd have a wav file of porky pig struggling to say "son of a bitch" and do nothing with it everyone would have it

Keep thinking about how you, and everyone who's ever been and ever will be is likely to have existed on an onion skin of atmosphere between a tiny rock and endless radio waves.

When every page is has more narrative boxes than speech bubbles, it should have been an illustrated book and not a comic. This is not apparent to people who have never thought that much about making comics.

Judged in terms of efficacy, Jan 6 appears to be one of the most successful protests of the modern era. You can call them hogs, make fun of them all you like - their theory of change appears to have been (perhaps accidentally) correct.

that's so crazy. i'm sure you put him in prison and banned him from ever holding office again right

as I learned from our discourse, the responsible thing to do is to mock JD Vance and theorize this guy was his lover

Garfield the comic strip was about coffee, Mondays, and lasagna. Garfield and Friends the show was about humiliation, domination, and the spiritual malaise during the late 90's End of History.

Extremely stupid, and extremely funny.

The Slop just got six feet deeper, Satya.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Inhaling oil, expelling misery, neglecting the citizen, and tormenting the other 🇺🇸

Trump's behavior here is consistent with overall US foreign policy. He's crass, and crude, but until people grapple with the fact that this is essentially all we've done since the Monroe Doctrine, there will be no fundamental change or understanding.

If you think there are 'laws' or 'rules' at this point, I don't know what to tell you. Grow the fuck up.

Yes, the president of Mexico needs to be supported because she is right. She has more guts than the Democratic Party leadership.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

An apple, rotting from the inside while simultaneously expelling misery
