That's why Lovecraft was so scared of him. Miscegenation.

what are words for when no one listens anymore it's no use talking at all

The oligarchs funding Trump, and Trump himself, are all-in on AI. You might as well be driving a cybertruck. Philosophically and economically, when you use AI, you support Trump.

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc. F*ck It, Let's Make a Website Part 1 is now live ✨ Go here to read: bit.ly/filmawPartOne More info below 👇

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

a good thirty percent of this ongoing culture war is the dumbest most resentful people on earth going TRIGGERED LIBS?? over behavior that is normal-to-pleasant because no one has ever liked them so they don’t actually know what friendliness looks like lol

Beating this drum still as things break down around me that I have to replace. I have an interview coming up, so there’s that to look forward to.

News orgs must stress this in their coverage. The president does not have the power to overturn a constitutional right and the Supreme Court is behaving STRANGELY by taking up the question as a real controversy

Tim Walz became nationally famous for calling Republicans 'weird' because no other public figures or media orgs these days consistently call out aberrant behavior or strange ideas. (This is how the anti-vax movement eventually gained control of the CDC and FDA.)

Biden never slept through meetings but Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about how he was too old.

I don't think Netflix should get to eat anything else until it finishes all the prematurely cancelled shows on its plate

please, please help.

"Demeaning" trans people is exactly right. Their goal--and what they're most able to easily achieve--is our humiliation. The imposition of indignities. They also hope that, as humiliations often do, it exposes us to ridicule. Perhaps even violence. (e.g. forcibly outing people on their IDs).

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

Heres the issue. If it happened today, fingers crossed, no current dem would say anything but the most flattering bullshit about him and his legacy of fucking us like he probably fucked that horse

Kicking off my holiday season with one of my most treasured personal yearly traditions: Listening to a 10-year old podcast clip of @theisb.bsky.social describing the magic of Santa Claus as a cultural concept, that still makes me cry a decade later. #JeffLovesTheHolidays

This is the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen.

Why, yes, it *is* the 22nd anniversary of my comics blog, because I just can't seem to stop doing it: www.progressiveruin.com/2025/12/05/s...

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

Technically speaking, these two are the same character. Comics, everybody!

SCOTUS is incentivized to find any way, make any ruling, that will help them keep Donald Trump in power. Expect them to continue to do so. There are no other criteria.

“What’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the constitution is actually just one big paper bag test

it’s so blatant how obvious this setup grift is

someone (not me, I'm off the clock, maybe later though) could ask the senator what happened to the last website she said was the premier sex trafficking site

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This is ALWAYS what the TikTok ban was about. It was never about China or “child safety.” Same for KOSA and these other “online safety” bills in congress right now. The goal is complete and total control over online speech and independent journalism

this thumbnail will absolutely be a punchline once this shit implodes

Reposting this one more time. I have until the morning to raise $700 to keep our room. I’m sick and have no sick time and have to go to work tomorrow. I need to try to secure our lodging thru til I get paid next. Anything anyone can spare would be tremendously appreciated!

She's a philosopher who misunderstands what "performative speech" is and thus should never be taken seriously by anyone.

people thought Judith Butler was exaggerating before but she's been proven right, i think

Just a note to everyone else who has moments of doubt about what they're doing, whether they're capable or talented, just remember that some of the dumbest and privileged fucking people in the world are walking around with all the money and never once consider how unbelievably stupid they are.

Can't think of a single perverse incentive here. Sounds great! Should definitely be partnering with news organizations!

Here's the important thing: mandatory online age verification is a major threat, but it's not a done deal. We saw major disagreement in Congress during the House hearing yesterday, and there is rising opposition to these misguided policies. We need to get louder. www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

holy shit I didn’t check the # but it’s so emblematic of how Not Doing Well we are that the Biden rule is characterized in this article as “significantly” reducing climate emissions while also stating it‘s equivalent to taking 165,000 cars off the road…by 2050. THE US HAS 280,000,000 CARS

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Fucjin R+22 to R+5.6? In an off year election?? In a district gerrymandered to fuck to keep it republican?? Fuck yeah, TN07, y'all done good. Swinging a district like that 16 points is hard goddamned work so y'all go have something to eat and get some rest.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:
