The festival starts today, and here’s the amazing Daniel Clowes poster for it:
the common denominator is Fox News broadcasting this intolerable bullshit all day long!

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
a lot of wishcasting tonight on the skyline why don't we try a collective luck magic experiment? everybody watch Iannucci's THE DEATH OF STALIN. All together now.
How that bottle of Macallan looks at me on a Saturday evening.
Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
MORE EPSTEIN, until we finally nail the rapist into a jail cell forever!

Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa: Trump is "objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He functions as an asset." In March, British Conservative Party MP Graham Stuart raised that Trump had been groomed by the Kremlin’s security services over a period of decades.

there's a good statistics website that you can use to see each state and drill down to municipalities as well. They have section for percentage of complaints upheld that is illuminating! policescorecard.org
Jim O'Neill go first!
impressive! have at it!

This is truly one of the best illustrations of what is happening in America.
Sure, we've all read "Plot for Dummies" etc, but then go body surfing under the full moon with a giant jellyfish. Washed up on shore with the next tide you look around and it's amazing to see some bones in the right place!
Grew up in a most conservative country. Raised by a conservative family I got over my biases, I learnt to love the different, learned to condemn my homeland's atrocities, taught my parents to at least understand if not accept queer ppl U can, too. Stop persecuting queer/trans ppl

“I just sat at the drums and said, ‘Can I have a go?’ I just took to it.” — Honey Lantree #BOTD Lantree, hairdresser turned drummer for the Joe-Meek-produced (boy) band The Honeycombs. A boy band w/a girl drummer is still rare. In the 1960s it was unheard of. A wee thread on this inspiring figure!
this Mighty Boosh / William Blake conjunction keeps rattling around in my tired skull. like a pachinko ball that keeps jumping back to the top.
that was no cape... that shit was a freak flag!
Celebrate!

Good morning! #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFu...
the fix was in from day one.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
Amidst a sea of jackass clowns in this administration, Duffy really slams down to the bottom of the stupid scale every time. Wasn't this supposed to be about saving Union Station from a nightmare crime wave? But there isn't any. So ok, now it's about "managing" it better. As if!
the whole essay is a spoiler. but if you've already watched Murderbot, it's a terrific read!
appetizer?
it's all about stealing every last $ from the Treasury.
Hegseth and Trump need to be booted out of office, pronto! Our soldiers deserve better.
yes. Fox News is a treason machine.
While most Americans have celebrated the incredible achievements of the Civil Rights Act & Voting Rights Act, there have been a whole gang of hateful people who've spent decades trying to undo the work those laws did. Those hateful people & their children are now in power.
that Brereton cover!
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap
Union Station Crime. According the WMATA, "Metro Facilities" including Union Station have almost zero violent crime incidents and very few other incidents. Probably the safest place in DC! Trump and JD Vance are absolutely, undeniably full of shit. wmata.com/about/transi...
fave!

it's a vomitorium
CHURCHES ARE THE GROOMERS!
Summer ain’t over yet, Chicago 😎
zing!
definitely! back in ye olden days, there was a Liberation News Service. a syndicate where the alt-press exchanged all their content. I think we need something along those lines. but with our modern tech and micropayments, I hope creators can all get paid. my pipe dream!
the sycophants get ugly
OH GREAT NOW THE SWAMP IS WOKE www.iflscience.com/deep-in-virg...
you're right. the media has always gone fascist now and then (Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq, etc), but this jag since Bush/Cheney and the ascendency of Fox "News" has been an all out fascism machine. we need a new syndicate of reporters (who get paid to do journalism).

Love this photo of Monarch Butterflies in Ontario Canada probably Point Peel National that i went to yearly in Sept in my twenties as they gathered to cross Lake erie migrating south waited for the wind to change
yes! the DNC and billionaires will throw money at monsters (like Cuomo) in order to build up the illusion that the party is divided and cannot dare to be socially conscious. it's crap. we must unite to support exactly the fundamental platform you have described.
ugly truth. it has to be said!
the entire world has softly supported israel through lack of action — so who's positioned to rise to our aid once america justifies armed responses to the innocent citizens it deems "bad actors"? the modern, genocidal dry-run has been a huge success.
Go, Chris!
all the money to support the three jerks on the left is intended to divide the democratic vote. they don't really care about Mamdani, tbh. every sucker punch that can be thrown to take down our democracy is GOING to be thrown. it's up to us to unite and fight back!
already the sane world is uniting against fascism.
working the night shift for Dial-A-Pizza got me the cash to travel to China and enroll to finish my BA. believe me, I drove like a demon in the old '67 Falcon Futura.
sweet! happy birthday!
brutal reality. very well written. must read!
Many readers now think of Margaret Wise Brown titles like “The Runaway Bunny” as tranquil introductions to storytelling. But the books, like their author, were radical for their time.
people at Butler Hospital need to be deposed under oath. for sure.
it's a performance. they are looking for some excuse to declare martial law.
cutting off international shipping is not a good thing.
as I am unable to reply to this thread, the point is that Cuomo is a hideous sex offender. but his campaign is being used by the media to "divide" the democratic vote. it's totally false. we need to unite and get the Cuomos and Trumps out of our lives.

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
it's fine to have someone running out and kicking villains in the nads. the primary is a long way down the road. what we need to do now is unite the FULL spectrum of progressive and democratic people; get over this false division (Cuomo vs Mamdani) and stand arm in arm to destroy fascism forever!
Marc Elias nails it again! Do listen and do stand up for your rights!

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
BREAKING: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just announced he refuses to authorize National Guard deployment in Maryland. 🧵
joy for science and medicine!
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell. Listen to the survivors.
This new publication for "the left" is funded by $4 million from people and groups associated with Peter Thiel, Mercatus, Abundance, and Third Way Tom Scocca and I raged about this and related matters at @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/issue-386/
actually stripping Alex Jones of all his wealth would help.
I ended up as a buddhist practitioner. highly recommended!
