It's weird how they want the valor of the past but none of the responsibility for the past's actions.

ANYWAY happy Friday! Today is a good day to get THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST and read it safely indoors! :D (Or wrap it up and give it to some unsuspecting person, I don't know your life.) A finalist for the Nebula, Hugo, Aurora, Locus, Ignyte, and World Fantasy Award! 🦊🦄🍎

Maybe the rich won't explode into loot like a video game character when they die, but we won't know for sure until we do some empirical testing.

I've published 113 articles (and counting!) on my site this year, totalling a good book's worth of text and covering everything from brand new releases to old doujin demo discs. Let me take you on a tour! 🧵 kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com

I support this level of petty 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The women in this 1964 photo of Beatles fans (yes, that's what they used) could not get a credit card at Bank of America without their husband or father cosigning. So, no. The answer, CBS and Bank of America, is no.

TIL that, depending who you ask, there's an Egyptian goddess of the written word. Depending who you ask, she's the wife, daughter, or female alter-ego of Thoth. This and a lot of free webcomics at my Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeed...

STRICKLAND: Participate in the UFC White House event? "Just to go hang out with the fucking Epstein list? I'm good, dude."

Also I really feel that it needs to be taught as part of basic wilderness survival—if you see a creepy wicker effigy, LEAVE AT ONCE. No good will come of it.

Paradise Killer and Promise Mascot Agency are _fantastic_. You buy, you play, you join with us to sing their praises!

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me! bit.ly/4aiUIKQ

Up until the cases were paused ~90 days before the elections, I can understand "We want to make sure the Special Prosecutor is independent." They should've called his office at 6:55 AM on the Wednesday after the election and booked the hearings for that afternoon.

Making the most depressing point I can make yet again: the US media is going to treat Donald Trump with far less vitriol in response to him starting a random war in Venezuela vs the sheer level of vitriol that they hurled at Joe Biden for ENDING the War in Afghanistan.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

This is the compromise? This is the bipartisanship? This is the civility? This is the return to normalcy? This is the price of winning? WHAT WILL YOU HAVE WON

Combining high-resolution mapping of foliar- and herbivore- faecal sodium concentrations across Africa, the authors show that plant-derived sodium availability constrains megaherbivore densities at a continental scale 🧪🐘🦏🦒 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Like I've been saying, SHOWGIRLS has me thinking about how Hollywood definitely has One Body and now we seem organically recreating or creating a whole new level of One Body as we are always now on camera and man Jesus fuck that can't be good for us.

When I was a teen and discovered IRC and telnet, it was incredibly, incredibly freeing and, in dead sincerity, safe compared to a real life where I was being _relentlessly_ bullied for, among other things, my autism. And I've spent literally three decades enjoying that safety.

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can become chronically ill. It’s not a choice. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. You can be the healthiest person in the world & completely disabled in an instant. It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

it’s a real weird time isn’t it

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

Buried under 12 paragraphs and 4 ads is this: that an investigation into the politicization of data was conducted not by … actually reviewing any data … but just by interviewing senior officials who disliked their chief. So more politics.

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it
