a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Lie on the floor while the bath is filling. Win-win.

Congratulations! It's nearly impossible to find work out there.

No, sir. DHS has to go. Root and branch. It was purpose-built to empower authoritarians, and we were better off without it.

Incredibly illuminating to compare income and hours worked across countries and states for ***the bottom 95% of earners only***. The typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less

One of my friends was a herpetologist at the local zoo and she had Stories about feeding the pythons. She got a little careless one day and reached too far into the enclosure and the next thing she knew it was wrapped all the way up her arm.

🚨 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ELECTION UPDATE 🚨

🚨 YOU MUST VOTE AT YOUR ASSIGNED PRECINCT 🚨

We are hearing that NEARLY 1/3RD of Dallas County voters are being turned away from polling locations because they are NOT at their assigned voting locations. #VOTE

You and me both!

Oh, goddamnit.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why they hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.

feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Hobbs' work in the Three Musketeers (1973) was a masterclass in fight choreography. My gold standard for swordplay on screen.

I get it. I truly do.

Why do you idiots keep pretending you're dealing with a political party that's acting in a spirit of bipartisanship? They're a pack of fascist thugs, a criminal syndicate masquerading as politicians. Everyone *except you* gets this. If this is the best you can do, step aside.

Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon

this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's cliché to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.

A kawaiiju, as it were.

Started work on a new novel last month. Still trying to wrestle the first chapter into shape. Beginnings are always the hardest for me, as I try to get a solid foundation of character, setting, and plot woven together. Making progress, but it's hard work.

"We'll be greeted as liberators."

Yeah, about that...

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

THIS. This right here. And it's been going on since the 80's.

I mean, seriously... what's it gonna take?
