ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Bumping this now that Ezra Klein is back in the news

the brain of the median voter needs to be studied for science

... couldn't. Recall. Who. He. Voted. For... Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

They had a show in the 90’s called Taz Mania where Taz had a family that dressed like humans which establishes that he wasn’t actually a wild animal but just sort of a weird naked guy

The issue is not whether 'Britain is far right' but why far-right politics have become so normalised Rather than accepting this is a bottom-up, people-driven push, I argue that we must look at those who have the power to shape the agenda and public discourse www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

Writers, don’t miss submission periods closing between September 30 and October 3! Opportunities are open for both full-length manuscripts and individual works: www.clmp.org/programs-opp...

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

thinking about getting this variation. i have the matching pin already.

What the fuck?

saudi arabia really is just a sportswashing empire at this point. first they bought all the sports, now they’re buying the publisher that makes the biggest games about sports

One thing about never-Trump Republicans, during Trump II particularly: They understand that the world they knew is dead. They have no investment in either reviving the former GOP (because they understand it's impossible) or maintaining the pre-2016 Democratic Party (because it's not their party).

God this sucks My favorite cc0 stock photo site, Unsplash, is now just DROWNING in AI slop whyyyyyyyyyy

More content. More. More. More. Why have a nice meal when you could eat a thousand stale cookies with questionable ingredients? Yeah it tastes like garbage, but there's more, and it's instantaneous. Fuck AI.

Climate change is a hoax. Right.

yeah no this is genuinely like, a really bad mark on gaming fandom in general but even today people laugh it off and try to frame it like they brought it on themselves because "sonic fans are just sooooo weird" even now people feel enabled to go way too far at a whim

It feel ridiculous now, but I knew some goth kids at the time that were getting hassled by school faculty for wearing black.

I remember when the Columbine massacre happened and very serious media and political figures deliberately hid the fact that the shooters were neo-Nazis and claimed that they did it because they were bullied (they weren’t) and that they wore black clothes. Just thought I’d mention that

KMFDM was specifically named in the press, if I recall correctly. Satanic panic was fading but the devil music angle really stuck, at least with the parents in my area

And right before the one-year anniversary of the shootings, I was given a weeklong suspension and had to go to a district hearing to see if I'd be long-term suspended or expelled, all because I was a goth weirdo and this was the conservative-Christian Midwestern suburbs

Now this is passed, it's so funny to me that not a peep of it was mentioned by the fake @AltNPS account lmao. It was a nationwide day of protest at national parks (including former JA incarceration sites) and they apparently didn't know about it. If you're still following them, they're frauds btw

It is :) #art #illustration

samnee commission give me strength

I dunno how many people have heard the news about the wrestler who was attacked by a famous MMA guy’s son this weekend, but he’s a friend of ours who helped train and wrestled with my husband at Knokx Pro, his family has set up a GoFundMe for his hospital bills & loss of income while he recovers

btw this was inspired by @jimzub.bsky.social's list! i tried not to repeat his tips so definitely check out these as well

come hang with us at the Hingham Barnes & Noble! Emily is so fuckin smart and she's gonna ask me a bunch of smart questions

"We will use the donated money to replace the books AND BUY MORE LIKE THEM." Good job team!

I missed in the early reporting on this lawsuit last week that it’s led by the Miccosukee Tribe

Here’s better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting

The Democrats' latest betrayal is deja vu all over again for anyone who's aware how quickly the party embraced, and later expanded, Reagan's war on drugs. I recommend Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. I consider it required reading. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New...

"Democratic-led states and select blue-leaning cities fought back in court and saw money for public health efforts restored — while GOP-led states sustained big losses."

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

I’m lowkey obsessed with blurry, soft edges lately. The smudge tool has a chokehold on me.

The Republicans took twenty horrible fascistic strides forward, and soulless bozos want us to celebrate how they want to walk it back a couple steps

This is also generally the case with readers, by the way

You love to see it

Yoooooo

same for artists. no artist is burnt out because their workload would be less with AI or their project managing software could be assisted by AI. we’re burnt out because our work is not respected enough. what we do is seen as disposable and replaceable, rather than valuable.

A 1955 writer casually dropping a “Germans tended to go along with Nazis just like your all-American wife goes along with segregation” is both the answer and the question for “how we got here”

While you were sleeping, Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey flipped a ruby red state Senate seat with a 20 point swing against Trump, breaking the GOP supermajority. If you’re wondering why Republicans are rigging maps, this is what they’re afraid of.

Wondering what to say to your kids when they come home from school today? Here are ideas from the American School Counselors Association: www.schoolcounselor.org/Publications... . Care for yourself too - if you feel really rough, call or text 988 for emergency support. 988lifeline.org

A progressive Democrat flipped a staunchly Republican seat in *Iowa*— won it by 10 points, in fact— by running *As A Progressive* focusing on issues of education, and making housing, child care, and health care affordable. Stop running to the right. Stay left, and fight.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
