graphic design shitpost: Stick figure of human leg with the knee labeled "monetizable knee"; stick figure of digitigrade leg, with the knee labeled "uncouth zoophile knee"; text: Ankle unrelated, "we are very smart" - payment processors. Separate graphic on other half - illustration of a doggy, text: Woof woof! I am a representational, animal-shaped character! A hot one, some might say. People are often attracted to me, which make sense - I am depicted with human-like behaviors, and am often drawn as a representation of idealized or exaggerated human experiences. I'm not just a talking dog - I can be a representation of the artist's aspiration to be more playful, more confident - or of something they already love about themselves. Animal-shaped characters have been a part of human expression as long as we have made art - and that tradition will outlive the powers which seek to control and divide us today. Er, grr bark, I mean.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Exit Condition On Alderson Loops, Billionaire Cruelty, and Living Inside the Trap “Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.” — Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks[1] I. The Loop In computer science, there ...

I spent the last week writing up this essay on what it means to be trans in this moment. What it means to live under authoritarianism as the scapegoated minority of the moment and how it feels inescapable as an infinite loop.

HUGE.

This has been pointed out many times (including by Evan!), but it bears repeating that this is the same playbook used to sow suspicion on vaccinations and the existence of climate change.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

These are some of the biggest SubscribeStar content changes to pay attention to. And yes, this is explicitly due to payment processors

This is also part of why we do not get to speak for ourselves, they see us as ill and in denial about it, not as rational people so it does not matter how much we express our suffering in their eyes we are doing it to ourselves

Hegseth drove himself this morning, I see

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

You can judge a family by the company it keeps.

That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press

Home security systems are safety theater. They make us feel like we’re in control, but they don’t actually reduce the risk of violence.

If anything, they’re a part of a broader, predatory industry that exploits our fears and *increases* the risk of violence to keep us spending money.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

The United States gave Netanyahu billions of dollars to fund the genocide in Gaza.

Now, Netanyahu and Trump are teaming up for an unconscionable war with Iran.

The American people are sick and tired of funding atrocities to appease Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: three witches stand around a cauldron while one of them stirs. Panel 2: one of the witches adds a scoop of pre workout into the pot. Panel 3: the three witches are getting absolutely shredded in the gym.

If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor."

I have, multiple times.

I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person.

It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.
