I am honestly quite worried about Chicago, and begging the national press to report it as what it is: an invasion of a US city by the national guard of another state at the behest of a fascist president for purposes of terrorizing the people into submission. There is no legitimate debate about it.
i constantly think about this post
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
PORTLAND: Lots of folks have gotten out of the habit of masking. But we can get those KN95s back out for #RCCC @rosecitycc.bsky.social. We don't have a real CDC anymore, and we don't know WHAT to expect from the next variant. Let's take this one simple step to protect ourselves and each other!
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games
Offer received and accepted, funemployment ends homies. I release my employment jelly to the wild now, thank you friend.
FUCK, man.
Photo of the Three Stooges promoting the polio vaccine for kids in 1961. You know your country’s in trouble when Moe, Larry and Curly Joe understand more about public health than the Secretary of HHS.
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Normally I stomp my feet on updating to the latest Windows for "reasons", but this time I thankfully have the solid reason: I won't update while it's an "AI" rotpile. Thanks, Microsoft!
This one panel, from a single reading, cemented "I like swords" in my personal lexicon forever.
Ah, fond memories. Many of the webcomics I followed at the time just sorta... stopped. Or, even worse, never did! One aspect I loved abt 8-bit Theater is how it was allowed to end, extremely gratifying closure. Thank you for that. Perhaps that meme should have a third circle: "Let it be finished."
Would you believe this page was the launch pad for a 25 year long career of writing critically acclaimed comics? www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/e...

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

i've had this on my hard drive for literal years at this point, my time has come
Every evil act this man engages in was enabled by Democrats.

Nice upchuck, Bernadetto!
A few months ago someone on social media offered the best question to ask yourself when doing a purge: if it had poop on it, would you clean it or get rid of it? 🤣 It made my spring cleaning purge so easy 🤓
Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.
Wait, that's the phrase? Crap, I had already ordered my caterpillar costume and it's non-refundable...
Is there an inverse Spirit Bomb? Like, instead of everyone giving a bit of life/spirit for an attack, it's a Spirit Vortex (Void?) that everyone gives a bit of their will+serotonin to in concert and it absorbs the entire life of 1 person instead. If someone knows how to start one, lmk cause I'm in
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
I'm concerned that production will be lower, expecting only to serve those "at high risk"... but long COVID is a high risk for everyone so my concern isn't strong enough to not pass it on.
Shit, don't even need a chosen one: Just spam RFK Jr. from e-mail addresses like "vaccinesCauseClimateChange@hotmail.com" saying that shoving stuff up butts was a well-known and successful cure for *cough**cough* that vaccines threw aside.
Doomscrolling is a lot more fun when you're rooting for the doom
There's definitely "spirt bomb lend me your energy" potential here but I need to go to bed.
thanks to the layoffs some of them are also outside now :/
it's extra funny cause DenFur, the Denver furry con, is this weekend Chiitan I know it's short notice but please attend that and make sure they all know self defense

The first Nazi book burnings were the biggest archive of trans research that existed at the time.

RFK Jr is driving this country towards an almost certain public health disaster. If Democrats can’t stop it, at the very least they can get it on the record now that they wanted him gone and the GOP wanted him kept in. Underline how they own the disasters to come. It’s Politics 101.
I’m not kidding when I say I love a formal synthesis. This one is spot-on. Some of what’s happening is people are trying to have a historical gaze for events that are still happening. Is it definitionally authoritarian? Cannot know until bodies stop dropping. But you can know it feels authoritarian
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Federal agents showed up northeast of Lake Cushman to check identification of crew members fighting Washington's largest active wildfire.
Every day, another piece of nauseating news hits my gut in a way I thought I’d become immune to, reminding me that the decline towards fascism takes place through the actions, not just of the fascists themselves, but of weak humans who choose short term self-preservation over courage and conviction.
Do you know who might be "at risk for serious complications"? People with compromised immune systems WHO CAN'T GET THE SHOT AND RELY ON HERD IMMUNITY WHICH NOW CAN'T BE ACHIEVED What a fucking shitshow of a country.
I cant actually express in words how evil this country is

They really did the thing
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if CB knows their crac--sorry, customers too well and know that word-of-mouth after the change, then reverting as "customer knows best" crud, will get them coming back in droves.
I don't want to repost the awful stuff in that Chat GPT suicide case. But I will say that Chat GPT should be destroyed, financially and legally. The data centers should be disassembled and recycled. Sam Altman should go to prison.
I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"
I have an idea to make up $100M in market value
You mean you're not looking forward to K*POP SQUID HUNTERS GAME season 4?
Mmm, pumpkin-spice tear gas
Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.
YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos • Skin is being smoothed or sharpened • Features like ears are being altered • YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity • There's currently no way to opt out (via BBC)
It’s up to the discretion of RFK Jr to define what ”medically frail” is when it comes to potential Medicaid work requirement exemptions—which may play a huge role in deciding which chronically ill and disabled people could qualify. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The way this guy says "Chibi Anime" has completely destroyed my vocabulary.
Pritzker makes a crucial point here: Members of the National Guard have full-time jobs outside of their service and responsibilities. By frivolously calling them up, Trump is upending their lives just to weaponize them against their own neighbors and fellow Americans. It's appalling.
Sony always has the opportunity to announce-and-drop a new Horizon the same day GTA6 releases. Consistency is good!
16 year old plz 16yo minecraft youtuber can develop the skills of michelangelo Michelangelo could never develop the motivation of a 16yo minecraft youtuber
are we doing Hilter But 1% Less Bad discourse again? this is maybe my favorite discourse in the last few years. i always want to figure out what the 1% is!
A middle school I interact with is in a state with a school cellphone ban and y’all everybody in there is relieved. EVERYBODY. The kids, the teachers, the janitors. They are so relieved. Nobody is really uptight about it…except some parents.
yeah this is what fascism looks like
Trump's Presidencies have so far involved numerous Saturday Night Massacres, dozens of Watergates, and a never ending parade of Tea Pot Dome scandals. I worry that we're about to enter the "dozens of Kent State's" portion of the story.
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
A think I've been doing with the few MAGA folks in my orbit is asking them why Trump is so hell-bent on protecting Bill Clinton.
F*ck‼️ Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.
I think there's good "almost did"/"claimed"/"coulda" stuff out there for such. e.g. "A grand reveal was expected when this talk show commentator opened Al Capone's vault, only to find nothing." / "There was a brief point in history where samurai could have sent a telegram to this US President."
Honestly surprised we're not seeing more incidents like this -- both the masked men impersonating cops and the intended victim shooting masked men.
Trump's splotchy hand and swollen ankles raise new questions about Joe Biden's health.
🏆
I laugh so I don't cry instead.
You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.
The Revolution Wind farm was slated to start sending power to homes and businesses in Rhode Island and Connecticut starting next year.
Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries. Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross. Protect trans folks.
fantastic lede from sam, and the rest of it ain’t too shabby either
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
Yeah. It’s pretty important that people get this.
"Wait, how many cakes did you say??"
Video games? Ugh, unfollowed, I hope you get well soon.
we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
Tremendous crossover move right here:

Wonder if any of the people who spent decades complaining about the "PC Police" object to a literal PC policing harsh language about politicians.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
me and my friends looking at the AI bubble
This is the part where they're going to pretend every single one of us who were correct about "AI" for the past few years actually wasn't, because that would mean the media, tech executives and most of Wall Street were wrong.
The whole confederacy is getting in on it.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
