"Chemistry, as we all know, is about mixing different agents and reagents and seeking a reaction, that friction on phosphorus. (Interesting that another word for ‘character’ is ‘agent.’)"

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Words included in my Nuremberg script: kill, murder, suicide, hanged, genocide, Nazi, holocaust, Hitler. The video is still monetized. Using bullshit algo-compliant words like unalive, sewerslide, mustache man, etc. is not just embarrassing - its NOT EFFECTIVE.

Happy #InternationalTranslationDay! Keep AI out of translation!

Hate how this decade is defined by everyone having to treat deeply unserious people as if they are serious. We’re ruled by toddlers and reading the future in the shit stains on their diapers.

Narcissus and Goldmund but they're gacha characters or something like that...

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

By inventing the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee unleashed everything from A.I. slop to tech monopolies. Can the 70-year-old computer scientist rescue his creation from the forces that now dominate it?

Cis folks, I realize I ask for your help a lot -- but please, please call your Senators. The Republicans are looking to limit access to gender affirming care for patients of ALL AGES, and they're using the looming shutdown to do it. We need your help. See the thread for more info.

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

Had the pleasure of drawing this for @jacobgeller.com's new book "You’re Not Overthinking It", published by @lostincult.co.uk

this is that thing i was saying last week about the loss of a moral element in politics - vavuely centrist people scared to ever say "I don't care how popular it is, it's still wrong"

Happy Michaelmas!

i love ta-nehisi coates so much

this is the thing, from top to bottom. we had maybe the best deal any country has had in history. our decline is a series of people voting to throw that away because they cannot understand that it is a good deal

Realized ill be working 14 days in a row on top of studying full time……. I need an addiction

I drew this cartoon in 2005. Two thousand freaking five. Twenty years ago.

it's alright kid you'll get it one day

you dont need to have a sex drive to let yourself be a pervert. you dont need attraction to be a pervert. as it was said in an image i saw recently sometimes its just for the love of the game. sometimes you want to use sex as a medium to explore shit and thats ok

doing a comedy podcast about James Bond movies has led me to some strange places anyway listen to Kill James Bond wherever good pods are found

Day before payday: I am not spending money needlessly this month. Day after payday: ordering large burger and dirty fries and ice cream when there's food in my fridge

Shame was the reason open gutter racism was not acceptable to most for a while. In a country with robust speech protections, it couldn’t really be otherwise. The present asymmetric sensitivity to shame is bad, not something to accept as inevitable.

A quadrillion times this, PLUS No one is doing well right now, hetero relationships tend to hinge on women doing all of most of the emotional labor, and I suspect that a lot of women have decided they simply do not have the emotional bandwidth for that at the moment given *gestures broadly*

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

ME ON A TRAIN: Oh no, I accidentally clicked a video with sound! Oh god, people heard a second of loud sound from my phone. I have torn the social contract. EVERYBODY ELSE ON TRAIN: Shit yeah, train time, time to watch the loudest TikToks

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

COME AND SEE #noimnotahuman #ninah

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

Remembering a classic

The lurch rightward on trans acceptance wasn't organic, it's a pogrom being initiated by the rich as part of the execution of fascism. Fascism is all about shrinking the boundaries of the national in-group to constantly create an internal enemy to scapegoat and distract from the real problem.

So it's finally happened, there are rumors that I used AI on the cover for James Rolfe's new book, Gnome Cave! I did not, and I will never knowingly use AI in any of my work, creative or otherwise. Now I will break down how I painted the cover (useful tutorial maybe??) 1/12

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day! On this day one man prevented the apocalypse.

keeping it in the group chat

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

Left: Wow. We need gun reform. Right: Wow. We need to put the left in concentration camps. Media: Ok. It's time for the the left to bring down the political temperature here. Enough is enough.

So much of what I read from the center left amounts to "what if the powerful did nice things for us without us having to make them" and folks, that's simply not how it works

Me whenever people start talking about declining fertility rates or gender relations

Hornet if she was an encounter in Hades II! #silksong #HadesGame #Hades2

I feel like I buried the lede. Here's the bathroom on the R/P FLIP, which rotates 90° & floods to produce a stable instrument platform. The toilet swivels. But honestly, you should see the *kitchen*.

You had me at hello

it's almost time 👻

I am LOVING the new Animorphs covers. They keep the spirit of the originals but add a whole new level of organic flow/dynamic motion.
