When I was younger I remember thinking the sesqui-bicentennial would probably be the only major July 4 milestone I’d ever live to see, and looking forward to it. Now that it’s here I feel no excitement. In many ways the country’s worse off now than we were in 1976, seven years before I was born.

No end to the bloodshed until sparkles and bisexual colors have been wrested back from AI companies to their rightful owners forever

I want to expand on this at some point, as I think it’s worth elaborating on #notetoself

Do I have any followers with long straight hair? How do you deal with tangling? I sleep funny one night and wake up with just a rat’s nest in my hair. It’s exasperating

Why you wanna live like him he's dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is the consensus of every major Israeli party, it's just completely forbidden to acknowledge that in American discourse or suggest that it should influence our policy towards Israel.

Sometimes I feel weak or cowardly bc God didn’t make me a fighter or a confrontational person Other times I am just so grateful that I don’t have a deep-seated drive to constantly argue with people who hate my guts

Hey folks! Call please

I can see both sides of the library weeding thing. I get why people who love books would be upset about a library of all places disposing of large quantities of books, but also, it’s important! Most readers will be happier seeing books or editions that are recent and in good repair.

...... i'm sorry, they wanted to invade greenland because red lobster nixed the unlimited shrimp promotion? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

What if the way someone found out they were a genetic chimera was by being bitten by a werewolf on part of their body that had a different genotype. And then when the moon is full only certain parts of their body turned wolfy, like a calico werewolf.

There is no perfect version of me anywhere out there in the multiverse. But I know that I can be better than I am today. But the only way is by being open to being told that I’m wrong. That I’m culpable for a problem, even one I didn’t personally create. This is the essence of growth.

Seeing now that all the discourse going around was started by perennially wrong public dumbass W*ll St*ncil and like, why. Why are people following him still. Why aren’t we starving him of oxygen. His takes are categorically bad. He is a loser without redeeming value. Ignore. Starve him of attention

I do this all the time. Also this is the second step of “don’t comply in advance.”

I confess I have very little understanding of what causes or contributes to gentrification, or how to prevent it, or even what exactly constitutes gentrification. It seems like some of it comes down to basic human selfishness and the unavoidable inequity of a society with high wealth disparity.

I would like to answer his question! "What happened here?" Because Danville, Virginia is one of the most important towns in America you've never heard of. 🧵

This one sneering tweet somehow explains and encapsulates everything about how corporate Democrats managed to lose to Donald Trump twice

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

I think the people pushing back against this with things like “gay marriage” and “the ACA” are not entirely wrong, but are also missing something subtler, which is that these things have been accomplished without much understanding from Dems that they would need to be defended from truly evil people

next journalist who interviews vance about his faith should ask him about his role in ethnically cleansing his co religionists

thank you jd vance for helping instigate an ethnic cleansing campaign

Helmi, but snek #TraumComic

“Why don’t Americans, a country of 350 million people covering 6% of the earth’s inhabited surface with a huge nuclear arsenal, just rise up and overthrow their corrupt leaders through mob violence” is the implied question that gets asked around here a lot, and like, I dunno, you tell me, friendo.

She and Whitmer both want to set up data centers in Michigan that nobody wants and will be a huge detriment to our Great Lakes environment. She’s tried to erase any evidence of her pro-BLM statements from 2020. She has a republican operative running her senate campaign. Dunno. Bad vibes, at minimum.

I think there's actually a useful difference we can draw here. Namely: there is incrementalism that comes from pushing wherever possible (and with whatever levels possible) to make progress toward a maximalist demand, versus incrementalism that's positioned as an excuse for setting minor goals

Big Gretch is functionally a Republican at this point As a reminder to all the ‘better things aren’t possible’ MI Dems out there, we could’ve had Abdul El-Sayed instead of Whitmer in 2018, and he’s running for Senate now!

Just like they did to transcestors Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, NYC Pride is continuing to sideline the concerns of trans youth and the people who love them.

We are disappointed @nycpride.bsky.social did not taken a stronger stance in line with community demands and the families of trans youth. Allowing them to march provides cover for the harm they’ve caused and fails to hold them accountable.

Whew boy when will we stop lionizing that dead creep It’s honestly nauseating

Seems there's a widespread misapprehension that elected officials in "safe" districts should simply keep their jobs indefinitely. But they serve at the will of the people and can be dismissed if those people think someone else would do a better job. That isn't the sky falling, it's democracy.

In the 4 years since Roe v Wade was overturned there have been over 400 pregnancy related prosecutions. Maternal mortality is up 33% nationwide and 50% in some states. We are being criminalized and murdered. That’s the legacy of Dobbs

It’s funny because Mamdani gets treated as an obvious terrorist sleeper cell while open allies of this guy and his movement get “my good friends across the aisle”

Am I being over-sensitive here or does the term “side effects” have an inherent negative connotation and therefore this headline is sci-comm malpractice? The “side effects” are reduced risk of serious cardiac complications and reduced risk of all-cause cardiac events. Benefits. That’s the word.

Idgaf how Mamdani OR Jefferies feels. The VOTERS made decisions. SUPPORT THE VOTERS. If you do NOT support the VOTERS. Why in the FUCK should they continue to support YOU?!

I think that's what is most frustrating. When their choices win, the expectation is that everyone get in line and help them achieve their goals. When their choices lose, everyone needs to apologize if they expect solidarity. The VOTERS in both cases made the decision. We see you acting like kids tho

The guy whose choices won needs to "patch things up" with the people who opposed THE VOTERS.

Probably the first comic I've made since I was like 14 so everyone has to be EXTREMELY NICE TO ME, it's #makeaterriblecomicday!

And the New York Times - which has obsessively covered minute aspects of the gender affirming care fight - chose not to cover this, or a major study finding anti trans laws increase calls to suicide hotlines, or many other stories that don't fit their agenda.

Howdy I'm the sheriff of #makeaterriblecomicday

I’m going to say something to my audience of nobody. A lot of Democrat partisans are absolutely incoherent. If you think dem socialists are the same as MAGA conservatives, you are an utterly empty vessel. Just two ears with wind whistling in between.

Forgot I promised some stuff to a craft fair fundraising for families impacted by ICE so I'm about to see how many of these I can knock out in my spare time before Friday

Activists who didn’t plan the protest and left when asked still received 50-year terms.

this is somehow gayer than sleeping together in a single bed what the fuck
