It’s cups and swords so far this year, people. By far.

We fucking have the answers to this fucking question. The answer is “more than we should.” Any hospitalization or death that could be prevented SHOULD be prevented! There is no number of dead kids and babies that is “too much” for them!

Incredible. I like him.

Could you guys please throw a few bucks at @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social? It’s going to get down to -45° windchill and they work tirelessly to protect our unhoused neighbors. They also have an Amazon wishlist if you prefer.

Baruch HaTov veHaMetiv Oh my GOD what extraordinary news please God let this be the beginning of a whole new chapter for saving lives

Carbon monoxide deaths spike during power outages. Many times, this is due to portable generators being placed too close to people's homes or run indoors. Make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. Run your generator outdoors, at least 20ft away from your home.

Flashlights (not candles). Smoke/carbon monoxide alarms. Knowing where the vents to your home are so you can clear them of snow. Do it all. We're being given so much time with this storm.

Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now.

So, I do actually go do this! His answer was basically that 4 (a majority) of commissioners have to agree to get ICE out of the WSC. He would vote for it, he told me to go find three more votes. So, tonight I’m writing a template to do that very thing. If you would like to make a difference and

It’s hard to process the scale of harm caused by *one man* succumbing to the correlation fallacy.

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

she mentions it in passing but look up 'Starlight Tours', this is a method Canadian police have used to kill indigenous men for decades

If you see these, I highly recommend picking them up. They taste like mango sticky rice, 10/10 special flavor. No regrets at all.

This is bound to be another fantastic anthology from Neon Hemlock, and it went live on KS today! Check it out! And I'm not *just* saying that because I get to do interior illustrations and (hopefully🤞) some very cool stretch goal stuff 👀.

I’ll go down swinging and singing at the same time

Hey Matthew how do you make your money Just curious If you’re trying to sell anything

If you have a Dem rep, call them. If you've called them before, do it again. They may be limited in what they can do, but it's still not a good reason for a failure in leadership and the ability to stand together as a party.

So all colleges and universities will bring back the DEI stuff they cut when obeying in advance right...............................................................................................................................................right?

I'm in a 'purple' area in a blue state, and I started showing up to local democratic party stuff last year, and at 40 have been the youngest person there by at least a decade, usually 2-3 decades most of the time. Even if you live in a blue district, showing up will do a lot more than you think.

I cannot describe the absolute tsunami of bullshit they’re trying to ram through. Utah has shown up in the streets, we had 10,000 people at the No Kings protest. But our legislature is in a stranglehold, dominated by white Mormon Republican men. And they’re making sure it stays that way forever.

I’ve got 5 to 9ing to do tonight, so bring it on

Every single piece of punditry about 2024, left liberal conservative alike, all gloss over that it is extremely clear Trump’s winning margin was provided by people who had no idea what’s going on

Lol using AI leaves people with something even worse than lack of knowledge - it’s unquestioning confidence in something that may or may not be true, or complete.

Look I’m also willing to take a share of your downstream profits, and I’ll do it for FREE.

Literally everyone who even vaguely knew what a tariff was said this when they were introduced! You don’t need a team of economists to analyze the situation — no one who lives in reality was confused by this!

"To hear someone call out “On your left” with no hope of friendly eye contact, to have to leap out of the way lest they jangle their hateful little bell at you — without those little courtesies, I become an animal. I would happily kill and kill again." www.thechatner.com/p/they-got-m...

Doing something a little different by drawing characters from the Fred the Vampire Accountant series by Drew Hayes. This is a little bit of a stretch for me because I can use photo references really well, but it’s harder to draw from imagination. Pre-teen Gideon and Sally! #FredVampireAccountant

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

New tarot deck! This is the Edgar Allan Poe deck, which might seem a but grim but if there’s one thing that can be said for Poe’s writing, it’s that generally people in the wrong meet the ends that they deserve. And we all want more of that. Reply if you’d like me to draw a card for you.

Now, now. He also got the most significant attack on public health in our lifetime.

I’m watching the 2016 Ghostbusters and I fucking love Leslie Jones so much. Absolutely perfect for the movie, and it’s such bullshit that nothing was done to protect her from the racist manchild fans who were pissed at the idea of women Ghostbusters.

Abject cowards, nothing but adult bullies who will never, ever, fill the voids where their tiny shriveled up souls used to be, even if they try. 8006

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No new pictures. Where your head at?

Weaponizing the US’s terrible public transportation ftw

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.

you don’t have to do everything, and you don’t have to do anything huge or drastic or violent or dangerous, but you must do *something*

And if you haven’t gotten started yet, there’s an online training coming up in 45 minutes that’s well worth your time, even if you never end up patrolling on ICE Watch: zoom.us/webinar/regi... These are not recorded but there will be another training on Monday (will link in the next post)

Good

I am aggressively not a dipshit who refuses to vote for any candidate who doesn’t personally tuck me into bed and give me a gentle kiss on the cheek, but I do in fact have basic standards and Newsom, years before the primary, is decisively failing to meet them.

No one should have to know this, but it’s important to share anyway. This is not how things should work.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

One positive thing is not having to hear Charlie Kirk's opinion on any of this
