My partner's parents are Cuban refugees, she has birthright citizenship. Two generations back my great grandparents on both sides escaped the Holocaust. My whole family is the product of birthright citizenship. Always remember that Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito tried to break up your family.

THE BAT AND THE RAT

An America where working people can make ends meet, live comfortably, afford healthcare, and have aspirational lives. But billionaires can’t become trillionaires. That’s the nightmarish dystopia Democratic Socialists envision.

The Texas State Board of Education just voted to make reading Bible passages mandatory in public schools statewide. This isn’t just pure fascism, it’s MAGA’s version of Sharia Law.

There’s only 1 reason why you wouldn’t comply with this.

Also, heatwaves will not stop at some max arbitrary temperature threshold. We will see extremes rise - what happens when these events are 125F/51C in locations with little to no cooling infrastructure? Or when these events co-occur with power outages? Just a nightmare.

TikTok's latest illegal 'life hack' seems to be 'dispute credit card transactions for free stuff' and legality aside I am here to beg you: Do not do this to small businesses. It really fucks them over in ways you may not be aware of beyond stealing from them (which is, to be clear, what this is).🧵

Jibri would have called. "Get ready to feel old," he'd have said. Then we'd have talked about movies for over an hour.

The A24 Ai bullshit makes things way easier for me, I don’t have to make an excuse anymore to my hipster friends on why I haven’t watched the latest one.

80s sci-fi directed by John Carpenter #filmsky

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

I keep seeing book banners framed as concerned parents. I've talked with dozens of political operatives who ban books, not a single one of them has been a parent of a child in said district. If they have offspring at all, they're 47 years old, and have been no contact since the divorce.

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

ICYDK, I do not actually skeet for a living That is not a thing (yet) I founded and run the biggest comics pub in the Midwest, and it specializes in The Strange and Amazing plz follow it here It's Juneteenth, you have to 🥰 @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social

The implication of this "New York Times" headline is that "goy" is simply a slang term used by Generation Z now, no longer attached to antisemitic implications. I think this is not only wrong, but rather dangerous for the newspaper to be printing.

Weed guns NOW!

'One member who voted against the curriculum questioned the reliability of “Maus” and other books in the curriculum. They wrote that the books are from “extreme experiences whereby the very nature of the authors’ writing calls into question their validity.”' www.idahoednews.org/news/nampa-t...

Horror Channel, Dread Central, Tromaville, and Brian Posehn forums. Posehn once shared his writing process with me. "If it's funny to you, it's funny." Cool fucking guy. 🔥🤘🔥

“It’s not our job to make it OK that we’ve spent so much on this technology. It’s our job to produce more capable humans.”

This is what passes for public education in my state. From Bible lessons for third graders to myths about preachers "casting off their robes" to fight the American Revolution. Kids, teachers and parents all deserve better than this.

ah. it's because observing ICE brutality legally means you are antifa and therefore a domestic terrorist. of course. we love Never Being Done With This Shit I Guess.

Premiering now! Electro tunes are on.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

So no one gets to see it?

Easy Rider remake, but at IHOP: "You know, this used to be a helluva good omelette."

No, YOU couldn't make Blazing Saddles today.

Congratulations, Knicks! Hard-fought and well-earned.

Yikes.

Here we go again.

Pass, pass, pass, dunk. My kinda stuff.

Shaq watching the game, wishing he could haze everyone later.

I like the early Spurs lead. I don't like the over-reliance on three-point shots. They're great when they work, but the Spurs' assists are more impressive.

Flat-out: if your IP goes through Paramount or Amazon, I'll skip it. I won't even pirate it. What am I missing? More legacy sequels and remakes? Originals that make me check my phone after five minutes? Hard pass.

It's an objective fact that Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He intentionally caused the deaths of millions of people. There's no caveats to this, no alternative explanations, no defenses, no missing context; that was the sole reason for doing what he did.

The trad wife is a social media influencer’s interpretation of a mid-century male ad exec’s notion of an aspirational figure. The dudes who dream of marrying one have a better chance of dating the Loch Ness Monster

No, I don't want to "ask YouTube" a goddamn thing.

James Talarico on the personal attacks against him: “Those nicknames don't lower the cost of groceries, gas, utilities, or insurance. I'm going to keep talking about the things that Texans actually care about, and I'm going to keep proposing solutions to make their lives better.”

Stanley Cup, once again. It's good to watch a game where I don't have a dog in the fight. Especially not a dog that blows a 29-point lead.

My group chat is people who've been posting into the void since 1996.

Didn't Homer Simpson go to college with these guys?

New York City — while SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic are preparing to launch landmark IPOs tomorrow, protesters joined in Times Square for their walkout.

I'm disabled with lupus. I have brain fog. I have to avoid sunlight. I feel horrible all the time. That's in addition to a host of other medical problems. I don't need AI to DJ, produce music, record voice overs, write, draw, or tell me what to think. Fuck this tired-ass argument.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only as long as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

i reiterate my consistent position that if you add me to a group chat i will call the police

I remember when “Obama watches too much basketball” was a criticism that was lobbed from the both sides of the aisle.
