You can't separate anti-immigrant and anti-trans politics from what is happening with Iran. When MAGA picked transphobia and nativism as its organizing principle, it selected for the capacity to treat entire categories of people as civilizational threats whose elimination is an act of self-defense.

that being said, [long, piercing shriek]

well, there's your problem. looks like god crawled under the porch and died

As I watch people who do not live in this country get real smug about how Americans have not "risen up" or whatever, I feel compelled to point out: We have and we are. People have been killed. Maimed. This is a thing that's happened. And yet millions still protest and take direct action.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Come on then, and remove him.

The 1993 Mario movie was a fever dream where Bob Hoskins fought lizard-men and everything weirdly made sense. Modern game films feel like watching a lawyer struggle to explain a board game. We traded creative insanity for a polished walkthrough.

the guys who are making all the money and turning sports into hyperexploitative gambling gig economies benefit massively by convincing us pro athletes deserve to make as little as everyone else

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

"War crimes don't hide sex crimes" Spotted in Ventura, California

The author's brazen fetish, presented with such hedonistic flair and and open pride it makes you feel a little embarassed for needing to hide your own passions behind self-effacing jokes in order to preserve a sense of safe, pseudo-ironic detachment

This month I read a book called "The Saint of Bright Doors" by Vajra Chandrasekera. I really, really liked it. The entire book was made of sentences and they were all really really good sentences.

Noting that activists, who were both morally correct and roundly vindicated on the political expediency of not committing genocide, couldn't sway the senile, bigoted president of the United States and his ossified cronies is not terribly insightful or generative.

Mr. Trump this is your lawyer begging you to please please PLEASE keep alienating the military

Today a cop came into the office "just to chat" and I was civil but not Friendly like the other gals were being. He kept looking at me like he was expecting me to warm up and was visibly confused when I didn't. I stg I saw "where's my hug?" in his eyes
