AGAIN: the #1 predictor of a mass shooter is violence against women. Cops perpetrate VAW at higher % (though exact # unknown ofc) than the gen population. At some point our culture must take seriously the fact that this is a real red flag. It requires hating women less, though.

Looks like I had a couple commissions fall through, so I've got some slots available. DMs are open if you want some little giant robots painted! #BattleTech

this comic is from 2014 and is one of the most singularly vindicated comics. even if it was already correct then it is even more correct now

on the road. Kid's music is terrible.

this is what the free market does, it is an evolutionary process to produce the most efficient forms of extraction and exploitation. without government legislation and enforcement to regulate this shit on both the labour and consumer side it will only get worse forever

And miles to go, before I sleep (looks around motel room) nah this is it sleep well, friends

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

they're too hung up on "oh no i have to keep up with the technology!" to also consider "is wallet inspection really a thing you can get a doctorate in?"

HUGE deal: Ted Cruz got Todd Blanche to say that, if confirmed as AG, he will review a Biden DOJ memo on the Comstock Act of 1873 that has allowed physicians and activists to mail mifepristone to states with abortion bans. Clarence Thomas called to prosecute doctors under the law @autonomynews.co

it's called fountainopause????

What's that? The woefully inequipped Hegseth continues to be an enormous piece of shit ruining the military? The Trump administration is jizzing themselves about performative masculinity? People are making shitty gender-affirming care gotchas that will not affect these hypocrites? Typical day.

a decent third space used to be “pick up your friend from their place and drive around for a while and see if there’s anything cool happening in the place you live in” but you can’t even do that any more because someone decided to attack the controllers of the strait of hormuz for no reason

PIRATESHIP USERS ➡️📦 Because of the shipping price change for rural zip codes being more expensive now, PirateShip has graciously made a list of zip codes the USPS considers rural so you can know if you're going to be charged more: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

it's funny how for decades the RIAA would carbomb teenagers for downloading one (1) song yet now these dudes are just allowed to do this shit like it's nothing

FWIW taking too much testosterone, or taking it for no actual indication because your boss wants your blood to test more manly, can be incredibly dangerous

why won't these women date me, an elderly man with a crumbling brain full of click beetles? who resembles a push-broom attached to the front of a blancmange? it must be political polarization, give me an opinion column

i am not really convinced that either mike johnson or donald trump could offer an even marginally accurate description of communism as a governing system, what are we doing here

The United States is turning into a kind of reverse Omelas: everyone is miserable except for a single child, Donald Trump, who inexplicably must be kept happy.

Didn't realize that Dr. Bronner's soap was cool like that, but I'll take it

According to the article, the company that makes these started doing so shortly after acquiring Realdoll in 2024. You know, the sex dolls. They’re gong to have a sex doll teaching children.

One thing I’ve noticed is that people who primarily tell others what to do are impressed by AI. The people who actually do the things are not impressed by AI. Gee, wonder why that might be.

Show me a comic page you love, no explanation needed.

we woke up in the night. one of the kids decided to get up at 2 a.m, go to the game room, and read till we caught them at 4:30 a.m. lil dogg, this is why you get no sympathy for wanting to nap during the day.

Mewgenics, cont.: So after starting a separate new save file to go after a missing achievement, I can say with confidence: I love it. Knowing more of the background mechanics the second time makes it way easier to deal with.

So like... we're on this. You can get iHunt goodness for dirt cheap AND you can help an AMAZING Latin American artist in need.

A true badass. Rest in peace.

A fun thread from Doc Burford

Consider picking up the ALL MY ZINES MEGA PACK available in my ko-fi shop which hits my account immediately and would be super helpful to get the last few things needed squared away. Just needing instant coffee, a 12ct case of soda, iced tea and dry cat food. I have food covered otherwise #MutualAid

I started thawing out chicken and I pray to god that I have more energy in half an hour.

And yet, the US sent the military to Venezuela to arrest their president and a dozen others, and dragged them back to the US for trial.

Oh, you've made a video game? And you want people to play it? Well, let's talk about how to do that better. How, exactly, can you make sure people care about your game and want to tell other people about it? Check it out here: docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

Seeing an article about Meta glasses reminded me of Snow Crash's take on wearable computers and HUDs. When the protagonist tries wearing more strapped-on equipment in public, his newly-acquired teen sidekick mocks him so viciously, he is forced to admit out loud how dumb fiddling with the gear is.

Definitely sticking this in all my Yelp reviews from now on.
