U.S. billionaires gained $1.5 Trillion in wealth during the first year of Trump’s second term. At the same time, they received more Tax Cuts while programs that working families rely on received Cuts. This so-called “Golden Age” is really the “Gilded Age.”

This is from the Vonnegut museum, and apt as ever.

So what level of federalism, if any, did they have in the Weimar Republic? I know the Holy Roman Empire was more of a confederation, but my understanding was that the German Empire was a lot more centralized?

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

every single political actor of note in this country is already acting as if there are going to be midterm elections, including trump. people are raising money as we speak for these elections.

we're going to need to see Dem leaders in the streets "please stop" is not working and they see it as weakness you want to help, governor? go on an ICE patrol in Stancil's Honda Fit

I still love how the tallest teenage Gundam protagonist to this date is Suletta Mercury. Giant girl surrounded by angry chihuahuas.

When you’re such a retrotech hipster that you replace your own mouth with a dot matrix printer.

Introducing Xenovenator espinosai, a new troodontid dinosaur with some fascinating cranial anatomy. I had the honour of being approached to create the illustration for this week’s official announcement. (1/3) #SciArt

This is the thing that’s keeping me going today. Gonna make work STUBBORNLY.

The realest thing ever said about working in the arts

The anti-DEI bullshit has always been simple racism barely even repackaged. Erasing Dr. Kings legacy was always one of the goals. We pretend that the segregationists lost. But any defeat was temporary and they currently control all three branches of government.

But it’s just a dinner…

I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride). Once a lab steward, always a lab steward. Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.

Look, it’s no coincidence that these brightly colored heroes were born in the 1930s.

The most awesome power of all: time theft

My next game "Endless Monday: In Progress" is coming later this year (probably)!! Penny and crew are off on another adventure, thanks to your love and support!! 💙 You can wishlist here! -> store.steampowered.com/app/2627590/...

Stumbled across fanart of the miniseries “The Pacific” on Tumblr. IDK, I’m a lot more weirded out by someone having US Marines as their blorbos than the Onceler, Captain Kirk, Char Aznable, or Jesse Pinkman.

And here is the companion piece for the previous issue! A golden skull and an ominous labyrinth... Please check them out, so many great stories! Oil pastels and digital colour #art #fantasy

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Even if one wanted to cover that story wouldn't the angle be 'hey what the hell's wrong with these people that they aren't disturbed to see someone shot in the face over a traffic infraction?'

They accuse the liberal city dwellers of hating rural people and then write an article about how rural America is super happy with moms being shot in the face three times.

It’s a fascinating thing how if an Evangelical Christian encounters a polytheist or animist they instantly transform into a Reddit Atheist.

So when Beast Boy went from the Doom Patrol to the Teen Titans and changed his superhero name, was that the first time that “Changeling” was used to mean a shapeshifter instead of a replacement fairy child?

USS Excelsior and USS Cerritos, with enough room to give everyone their own bachelor pad: one big barracks where all the junior officers sleep together. USS Defiant, tiny escort ship: everybody gets their own room or has to share with one (1) other person.

Lol

hm

Even some Republican lawmakers are in direct opposition.

Shelly and Audrey making connections, well one of them at least.

ALWAYS BULLY BIG CORPORATIONS/ORGANIZATIONS

So in the Bad Future of Star Trek: First Contact, why do you think the Borg paved over all of the East Coast and Mexico with megacities or whatever, but left the Northwest alone?

As I am often saying, the central pillar of Cantor Thought is Tarpeian Socialism, the idea that in a society of significant size, the occasional slob is going to rob a 7-11 and that's not great, but whatever, but if you're given power by society and abuse it, we push you off a big rock.

With *tallow*?? Is tallow the new Ivermectin now?

i think we need to jail company executives that say/do things like this

I feel like Megatron has had even more of a metatextual redemption arc than Magneto. Nowadays Megatron is basically robot Spartacus, but in his first appearance he was effectively like, “Our post-scarcity utopia is boring and so I have decided to be history’s first dickhead”

this is just how my mum pulls out of the space in tescos car park

‘By using fascist or Nazi-coded language, you normalise it. You make it acceptable. We know there are neo-fascist groups, voters, and violent actors in the United States; when they see this language, they only become more enthusiastic.' metro.co.uk/2026/01/13/i...

Repost this picture because the FBI has already destroyed it! That’s where we are with this government and their fascist law enforcement.
