every major media organization is embracing the innovative "News For Babies" model, lots of bullet points arranged under headings labeled "WHAT HAPPENED," "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN," "WHY THIS MATTER," etc

seeing collapse discourse pop up, so let me say again that all civilizations collapse, this one will too, its collapse has already started and won’t happen suddenly or overnight, it’s a process that started decades ago and will continue for decades

We're recognizing the hypothetical state of Palestine but still supporting the genocide of actual Palestinians, fuck actual living things we're all about legal fictions here

In the 1880s, a third of Minnesota’s forests were old-growth forests. Today less than five percent are. The fact that this one remains is only a fluke, due to a surveying error not discovered until decades later. (No paywall)

American politics is so cool, we got secret police disappearing people and killing them here and a fully funded and facilitated genocide abroad, and somehow that’s sublimated into discourse about celebrity commentators

zero hour work week

(guy with a website everyone used 10 years ago but now you mostly hear about how it was like, molesting children for a few years till someone made a stink so they just turned that off? it had a button?) in ten years we'll all be wearing shoes with cameras in the toe (tech reporters) WHATTA SCOOP!!

america isn’t collapsing fast enough

absurd question, my dad would never put us in a car, both my parents gingerly picked us up in their powerful jaws and carried us from tree to tree

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

A Steller’s Jay today she was the first bird at the wildlife pond. #Birds

shut the fuck up Chris Hedges you dumb shit

still using the phrase "on the right side of history" in a world where there's a couple decades left of potable water

going back in time to fight Hitler by loudly telling everybody that Hitler and the resistance to Hitler are Just As Bad

Rat grasping a soybean pod netsuke, Japan, 19th century

every day it becomes more and more obvious the world is ending and everyone becomes more and more violently committed to denying this

imagine if we swarmed them in the tens of thousands, when it takes ten of them just to handle one of us we could end this within a week

I don’t have boomer complaints or millennial complaints, all of my complaints are those of an ape that has been stolen from their forest and locked for life in a cage

Included among 1931 Dracula's Children of the Night: armadillos, opossums, a bee with a little bee coffin. Dracula is adorable.

“so you’d have us live like animals!” yes

big lesson from the last week is that one dead nazi isn’t nearly enough dead nazis

"president" is just american for "king" and there's just one thing you can do with kings

congrats to joe brandon and all the purported defenders of democracy who normalized cracking heads on student protestors in order to cover for israeli genocide. you really greased the skids for ol donnie trump to formally submarine the first amendment

Remember "cancel culture" lmao. When some college freshmen didn't want to hang out with racist dudes or whatever. That was so fuckin quaint

putting a bunch of those giant Berserk volumes in a little free library

people are scared at the prospect of real resistance, they want an easy answer to make capital and fascism go away which is why everyone's clinging so desperately to one primary win in new york, but even if you could get a senate full of mamdanis the expiration date on this society has come due

the only thing that's going to work is physically fighting the fascist cops and destroying the infrastructure they rely on, which is the infrastructure of capitalism itself. people in 2020 knew this and they were talked into getting off the streets, trading riots for voting, and here we are now

I've seen people try to vote out capitalism for a decade now and it's accomplished jack shit & now that fascism's here I don't think it's gonna work any better. I've seen people do those big marches my entire life, I don't think even the people organizing the marches know why they do it anymore

there's only one way to fight the fascists and that's to literally fight them, you can't vote them out, you can't march around in circles until they go away

Superhero comics are sick as hell when Walter Simonson draws them. (X-Factor #14)

actually there should be more violence, not nearly enough violence in america these days

i cannot believe there are people on here still saying you should "sign up" and give your personal info to organizers of a protest. you do not need to do that. in fact you should Not do that

barack obama shut the hell up

listen we have to come together in a bipartisan manner and fund [looks at notes] eighty billion dollars worth of death squads

sometimes I think this is the worst website ever made and then I go on reddit

none of this shit on “Popular With Friends” is popular with my friends, my friends don’t care about this, my friends are outside, my friends are living in trees screaming at each other and throwing food on the ground as free wild birds

who’s that frog, everybody wants to know that famous frog

I honestly wish the shooter had been some radical left militant. At least then there’d be some indication someone on the left is doing something other than electoral politics and marching around in big circles

Every week something like this comes out without the corollary “and this is what we are going to do about it” report
