Seeing another round of hope vs. despair discourse play out in climate circles, so allow me to once again put a plug in for rage.

Folks: Platner's accuser is a Republican because *Platner* was a Republican until about five minutes ago. Again, red flags all over the place that this guy was not a good candidate for a high profile Senate seat were ignored because he falsely codes as a working class white man.

What's wild is how upset the edgelord left got over this comment despite the fact that we've heard the literal exact same thing from the Bernie camp from the start. Also, they seem to love feigning being upset over Republicans winning, but did everything they could to undermine Biden/Harris.

Republicans: We’re so pro-life, we’ll kill every last one of you to prove it.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Nuzzle the kind. Bark at the ignorant. Bite the rich.

HR rules prevent me from adequately describing the ways that I hate Outlook and what should happen to people who run it. I would rather use semaphore with ragged confederate flags than Outlook. I would prefer to use a cup and string where the string is heavy twine and the cups are shot glasses.

Yo, if you designed the controls for the batmobile in Arkham Knight, I hope you develop incredible explosive diarrhea at every social function you find yourself in, and the bathroom is always locked. Fuck you.

I do not understand the people who think this post is an opportunity to argue that in fact "creates nothing" isn't fully accurate. Allow me to tell you collectively: fuck off. But I'm willing to work artisanally as well and tell you each to fuck off individually, because I'm that kind of human.

My wife, "I can't deal with 7 loads of uncut wood out in the ditch" Me, "That's not what I heard" And now I have to build a doghouse to reside in.

Maybe it's maybelline.. but perhaps it's perhapselline

The reason I’m in favour of immigration and against the current policies isn’t because demographics mean that we need it for our economy - though that helps. No, the reason I’m in favour of it is basic human decency. These are human beings, not statistics.

I love this

holy shit he actually conceded folks, they tell you they’re invincible they tell you they’re inevitable they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting and absolutely none of that is true

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment. Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/phin...

we don’t owe the “why didn’t she report it” crowd a single response

Scalding hot media literacy take: The "villain" is often the shadow of the hero -- a dark reflection, a part of themself the hero is unwilling to address -- which is why the villain is often more charismatic than the hero and also why good villains usually have a point.

How it's going.

April Fools jokes in the style of joking about the president's death will not be funny. It will only be funny if he actually kicks it. In which case, I fully support renaming it April Fools, sponsored by Donald Trump.

Girlbosses are valid and good

And now we wait.

Hasan Piker is a piece of shit, and if that's the best you can do for your movement, you're fucked. And rightfully so.

A crucial part of Project 2029 has to be performative trials and draconian sentencing for Trump administration officials up and down the organizational ladder. Treat all of them like Timothy McVeigh so that the gravity of their criminality and treason become enduring images in American history.

Civilization has had to drag conservatives into the future since the first ape decided to stand up and talk with another.

We're going to send a lot of kids to their death because a geriatric idiot wants his poll numbers to go up.

It doesn't escape notice that the folks who say we'll never be able to live together are working around the clock to make sure we can't.

i don't much like platner for the same reason i have rapidly come to dislike annie andrews and the same reason i don't like newsom — values matter, and throwing out homophobic or misogynistic or transphobic "jokes" display contempt for the values the overwhelming majority of party voters live by

No, Rocket Money, that is not "an unusually large transaction." That is my health insurance premium.

This dude has me on a list as "An actual Nazi", and friends and neighbors, that is an incredible swing and miss.

Imagine being Billy Joel right now, having to add a whole stanza about how, y'know, okay, maybe we started a few fires, and holy shit is this latest one completely out of control.

MmHmm

Lastly, they are for the soul of your nation and your cause. Limits on war preserve humanity. Mercy transcends violence. After the fighting, there has to be something more. Rules of engagement and the laws of armed conflict protect you; abandoning them is dire.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes: Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

A soldier in an unpopular war -- People you'd have thought could help you to end the war and save your soldiers saying the most vile shit to you imaginable, equaled only by the vile shit war supporters say when they find out you went but don't support it for whatever reason. My life since 2003.

They absolutely cannot fathom that people just want to serve their fucking country as nonpartisan civil servants because they themselves are completely incapable of doing so. It’s inconceivable to them. There is no service ethos. To them, everything is only a means in service to the pursuit of power

I would like to not be ruled over by podcast and crypto betting bros any longer.

bibi is just descriptively correct and the next dem needs to just sever all ties with israel. defense, trade, all of it. even thinking on utterly cynical grounds: israeli political leadership and overall politics is overtly opposed to the american left-of-center project

Pete Hegseth here showing exactly why he was a failed mid-level staff officer.

“Just quit and go to prison” say the people who won’t take direct action against ICE, who continue to pay the taxes that pay for bombs and concentration camps. You want OTHER people to go to prison for your ideals. You want OTHER people to firebomb the Walmart.

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Private commission. Detail. The figure is Derwent colored pencil with flecks of white ink and the background is oil.

Fuck this administration and everything in it and who voted for it.
