I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

The interesting thing about ICE and CBP blatant lies is that it has normie people questioning what other law enforcement lies like this on the regular. It has shattered a lot of the deference people had.

I reject this only because he or someone in his audience would get off on this

Another hallmark of fascism. The Nazis went on shipping Jews and other folks they disapproved of to death camps even when the trains and tracks could have better used moving the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS and their supplies.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Everybody stop what you're doing and look at this cat I'm sitting

Colon cancer numbers are rising in the US, UK, Canada, China, Australia, India, South Korea, the EU, Brazil, South Africa etc., the exception is in women in Nordic states who are more likely to eat a diet high in fiber because of berries. Eat beans, berries and other high fiber foods. Limit booze

Every day, it gets worse and worse. From the @lrb.co.uk newsletter.

what is with these people and dogs?

Damn, @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social's got hands today.

"HOW DARE poor people loaded up with debt and who have no prospects of saving money want food that isn't subsistence level while they have an income."

The three nations involved here are supposedly going to host the World Cup together in four months’ time.

It’s Leslie Nielsen’s birthday & this is still the greatest gag in the history of comedy.

finally found this tumblr post expounding on how stupid owls are piraticoctopus.tumblr.com/post/6741867...

2 pieces I did for MARVEL trading cards, Beta Ray Bill and Fin Fang Foom. Both framed for display.

When we get out the other side of this, we should think seriously about making signs like this permanent, like the plaques in Paris that tell you that you're standing on the exact spot where a resistance fighter was shot down by the Nazis in 1944.

MINNESOTA IS NOT OK. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE TALKING ABOUT MINNESOTA… THEY ARE LITERALLY FEEDING FAMILIES THROUGH UNDERGROUND RAILROAD STYLE ROUTES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND APPARENTLY HELICOPTERS AND DRONES FLY OVERHEAD CONSTANTLY EVEN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

Some of these houses may well become museums.

The King of England is talking about criminal charges for his own brother (for his association with Epstein) meanwhile America can't even get rid of Howard fucking Lutnick

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

THREAD 🧵 The latest batch of Epstein Files are disgusting and shocking. We wanted to give the public an understanding of the most important takeaways.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.

The “don’t give the abusive and extremely alcoholic husband a reason to beat you” mentality is only normalized when it comes to One side today, and that’s just a fact

I made one of the Squid Games soldiers but ran out of pink yarn for the other two, so they have to sit in my WIP pile, half-made, for a bit. 🧶 www.instagram.com/p/DF0J7VuogJ...

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

today's incredible piece of lore is that apparently Jon Hamm is a Bad Bunny superfan and has acquired the nickname Juan Jamón

One of the core things the Epstein emails reveal are not only are the rich owner class all absolute monsters, but they’re all really fucking stupid too. Stripped of all their wealth they wouldn’t know how to dress themselves.

feels like there's been a big push to abandon anything like humanistic moral values, christian charity, or basic decency, but we're all supposed to be very obsessed with what is in our food and water, unless it's a chemical that's demonstrably toxic, then we need to let industry dump it into rivers

i think people mad about bad bunny’s performance have never been forced to consider that not everything is for you

jesus CHRIST he was PRESIDENT THEN, had been for A YEAR

ICE surge news: Minneapolis Public Schools has extended *optional* distance learning until April 6.

I cannot believe we went from "don't talk to strangers on the internet" to "give strangers from the internet camera access to your house" in like 15 years

Hey. Make your giant manum opus great epic comic that you want to make. Draw your oc comic you think you aren't ready for yet. I finally got good enough but the universe is cruel and ironic & now I have a disease that will eventually blind me & too sick to draw. Dont wait, learn as you go.

i *love* Thomas Allen’s art; he takes pulp books and turns them into pop-up dioramas. Aren’t they stunning??

He's just a little guy

I remain shocked by how much work was done after Katrina (subj of my diss) on evacuating pets in disasters relative to evacuating people without cars, or with disabilities, or with poverty, or elderly, or, or, or

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

"Income inequality is real. The rich are stealing from you in more ways than you can see. So what if you could get dick-pills and hair plugs over the internet?"

The media moved on when trump said he had a new tone because as the constitution states the president is the editor in chief of all news outlets

Still got Arcee, Jazz, Shatter, and Stinger available if you’re interested.

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

as you watch all of the rah-rah pageantry of the Super Bowl it’s astounding to remember that MAGA is so weird and offputting that they’ve apparently given football to the libs in the national divorce

My wife, the photographer, would straight up murder me if I was responsible for doing this to her and not a jury in the world would fucking convict her.

My Uncle Mac and Aunt Ruth called them “horvie-dorvies” and I’m not sure if they were taking the piss or truly didn’t know the pronunciation. Anyway, they’ve passed decades ago now, but my family still calls them horvie-dorvies.

could I just have one tiny molecule of dopamine, the merest molecule of executive function
