BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

GUILLERMO DEL TORO & MIKE FLANAGAN: Well...we think maybe the classic horror novel should be different... STANLEY KUBRICK: You think "maybe" it should be different. How do you think "maybe" it should be different? DEL TORO & FLANAGAN: ...a nicer ending? KUBRICK: a NiCeR eNdiNg???

Both parties actively endorsed Andrew Cuomo and he STILL couldn't beat a vocally pro-Palestine, pro-trans, socialist, Muslim immigrant. The vindication I feel IS a part of that obvs coz I'm a petty little cunt. But I mostly feel intense joy and relief that another way has been shown to be possible.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Hey everyone! I am gearing up for the first print run of Malatona, a political intrigue set in a fictional 17th century province. Back the project here (¡disponible en español!): www.kickstarter.com/projects/mak...

Let me be clear — there are contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP while we are in this Republican shutdown. But what is Trump doing? He’s doing everything in his power to withhold these benefits, making Americans go hungry.

Why is this deepest cut I’ve ever read…

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

No disrespect to the people who worked on it, but Stranger Things the cartoon looks WILD and feels like such a bizarre, “uh oh the kids in our multi million dollar money machine got too old guess we have to pivot to animation!” for me to ever take it seriously

What's funny to me about people like that is "$30 an hour is too much to serve me coffee but 1 trillion dollars to tweet all day is deserving"

1/11 Play in cold-blooded animals Review of evidence of play in fish, reptiles, and amphibians. It is less common than in mammals, but it does exist. Here are some examples and descriptions of how the authors explain it. (paper) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

elon musk should be tried at the hague, what else is that institution for if not for shit like this

I know there’s a lot to worry about in the world, but don’t forget to consider your local pet food bank when making donations too! A lot of people forget during food crises that people have pets in their family to feed too and neither they nor their animals deserve to suffer or go without food!

"The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's problem"

Some good-ish climate news.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Notice how Mamdani starts answering the journalist by leaning over, then ~crouches~ so he is ~meeting the journalist where he is,~ talking to him face to face and not literally looking down at the journalist, which is what a lot of people would do.

just remember

A hill I will die on is that this is a stupid reason to go to the moon.

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

The hero we need for this moment

#BREAKING: According to new reporting by Coca-Cola, the company's plastic use has surged by over a BILLION pounds in just five years. We need urgent, bold action to tackle this crisis, including a major shift to reusable packaging. https://oceana.ly/47HdVTn

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!

“We have a future” is really hitting me hard. It’s been so demoralizing to see the entire power structure of this planet reach consensus that there is no future. To hear AOC contradict that, to hear Mamdani with some fire in his belly, honestly is like the food that makes me realize how hungry I was

Re-upping this on the news of Dick Cheney's death. A man whose life work will go down in the fossil record.

meanwhile the words: "Every time one of these murderers dies w/o having faced consequences for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death." 🔥🔥🔥

Read that again. .01% of parents deny their children access to school libraries because it is literally .01% of parents creating the moral panic and spreading lies about books in school libraries. Yet there are schools COMPLETELY BANNING LIBRARIES FROM THEIR ENTIRE STUDENT BODY.

"What should poor people be allowed to eat?" seems to be a burning question for those who aren't poor, have never been poor, and can afford to eat what they like, but want to keep poor people from eating anything that tastes really good. "No fresh meat," said Iowa, a few years ago.

Women in comics have a very different experience breaking in and staying in and having career support than men, and that’s a problem for the industry now and for its future

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

As a NYer, ”real” “small town” America now looks like a sexual freak zoo run by genital-obsessive xenophobes who make women into living dolls and shoot each other. Mamdani’s NYC (and mine) is a safe, wholesome place where neighbors help each other, do scavenger hunts, ride bikes, and birdwatch.

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow

finally caught up with this recently on the (longstanding!) recommendation of my partner & i think it’s one of the most compelling ensemble character studies in webcomics. just a super high level of craft all around

I was talking to a younger local artist who's having trouble figuring out specifically what he wants to do, and you know, it got me thinking about what a dadgummed boon it is to have a very specific lane down which you intend to travel. 1/

I’ve been trying to figure out ways to help raise money for food banks so I’m going to giveaway a 1 year sub to @fangoria.bsky.social (out of my own pocket). Just show me a receipt that you donated at least $10 to any food bank (DMs are ok). I’ll notify the recipient on 11/3! #HorrorFam let’s go!

“I Thought I Heard Your Voice Just Then” is a new eight-page comic drawn by @jlaguff.bsky.social and written by myself. You can read it below or purchase it on a pay-what-you-want basis on Itch.io (which I recommend, Bluesky compression being what it is): hagaipalevsky.itch.io/thoughtiheard (1/2)

as someone who was on SNAP four times let me tell you it would be *phenomenally hard* to exploit, they put *a lot of effort* into giving you *as little as possible* and are horrendously understaffed if someone has managed to abuse the system they are Danny Ocean and you should respect the hustle

The Kickstarter campaign for my first solo comic, DREAMHOUSE launches tomorrow! I am equal parts stoked and anxious. I've got 104 followers on the project, I would LOVE to get to 150 by launch tomorrow. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.

Sometimes people say a game has a good story and it turns out the game just has a story.
