'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

The US proclaiming all of the Western hemisphere is "ours" is insane.

When your long time tattoo artist starts posting GenAI videos

This is such a shame JoE has been great outlet for #GraphicMedicine over the years

Thanks, I hate it kykernel.com/119934/news/...

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

My phone has full optical character recognition of 47,000 photos. I can search individual words. I cannot search three words in quotes. Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests. And now we have this.

There are lots of things that the bible sends mixed messages on - it's why theological debate exists. But the one thing the christian bible is pretty consistent on is, "fuck them rich people."

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

Who is even the audience for a Crumb comic in 2025?

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

Today is the 9th anniversary of the day Maggie stole an entire pecan pie and got drunk from all the sugar. Happy Purloined Pecan Pie Day from our family to yours!

Good. Now stop panicking us constantly.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

And this is *before insurance premiums skyrocket in January.* truthout.org/articles/ave...

Don't excuse my language: What in the actual fucking fuck is this take

People being willing to normalize pedophilia for Trump shows there's no line they aren't willing to cross.

Lol I made a slidedeck for a class visit that I didn't need; good job on overpreparing me!

Wrestling comics are cool. You want to be cool right? You should pick this one (and book 1 if you missed it) up! @jonathanlondon.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/gee...

While I remain really pissed off there isn't a legal way to watch Andor since we cancelled Disney+ ... seems like it remains a good call. Yikes.

Today's good thing: finally had a lunch meeting with a couple of folks that we haven been trying to make happen for OVER A YEAR

So... @everylibrary.bsky.social's Legislation of Concern graphic shows things getting even worse these last two years. At least, in terms of horrible bills attempted. Most fail to make it out of committee, so there's that. 2023 vs 2025 www.everylibrary.org/billtracking

Hard to imagine why

Hi everyone! @graphicmedicine.bsky.social will be tabling at @massmice.bsky.social this year (December 6 - 7) and I would love to have some help with the table! If you are in the area and think you could help out for an hour or six, give me a shout please! www.micexpo.org/events/mice-...

If I never have to hear someone claim "performative reading" is a thing again, it'll be too soon. Just shut up. You're making the world worse for thinking like this.

I know it's not the same but watching this unfold while people continue to shrug at Binienda getting an email tip about Monfredo and ignoring it and then literally being photographed with him at her victory party. It's pretty rage inducing.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Getting Amazon ads via Library Journal promotions is a special kind of hell

I went on a reading-about-kindness kick last year - I really liked a pedagogy of kindness by Catherine Denial. search.worldcat.org/title/A-peda...

Every other thing we order, or have ordered in the last 6 months, ends up delayed for manufacturing or shipping reasons. Or both. Are we great again yet?

Most recent is Clear, by Carys Davies. I think it will stick with me quite a while.

The Smith of Wooten Major

A bunch of stuff by Kurt Vonnegut, though he's maybe more humane than kind? Timequake or If this isn't nice, what is?

I love Alexander McCall Smith's series (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Scotland Street, etc) as there's an underlying belief in people's kindness. The fact that every Scotland street book ends with poem about community and love. That Mma Ramotwse often offers forgiveness rather than punishment.

Have a soft spot for Callahan's Crosstime Saloon.

Congratulations by the way: some thoughts on kindness, by George Saunders, though it is a commencement speech made into a tiny book. I do like it a lot and think of it often.

I can't remember how much Rebecca Solnit's The Faraway Nearby focuses on kindness, but it has at least one passage on the role of kindness in fairy tales that really resonated with me.

How is ANYONE looking themselves in the face while contemplating a no vote when Thomas fucking Massie is this loudly a yes?

Every new bit of info I see reported from these files is something that would've been a month long scandal before. Now each one gets... moments. On social media. Then... another. And another.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

It is hard to get over that the Q-Anon folks spent years feverishly looking in pizza parlors for the cabal of rich, elite pedophiles and it turns out THERE WAS ONE, right in front of their noses, which they failed to identify and instead voted for three times in a row.

"Unchecked, the fossil-fueled data center expansion could account for 10% of US economy-wide emissions and 44% of the power sector emissions allowable to meet the US climate target under the Paris Agreement." #medlibs 📚 www.commondreams.org/opinion/clim...

It’s critical that AI become part of global climate negotiations—not as an escape hatch for how it could save the planet, but as an urgent threat to people, wildlife, and the atmosphere, say Jean Su and John Fleming of @biologicaldiversity.org.

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.
