today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason
A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.
Jimmy Beast stands in the foreground. He smiles only with his mouth. At least three of his victims are trapped in an energy cube behind him.
And what rough Beast, its hour come round at last,
A photo of a light-colored cat with a gray face and ears and wide blue eyes. Unknown forces are holding up to the cat’s ear the handset of a beige antique-type touch tone phone. A rectangular speech bubble with a jagged tail has been drawn on the photo to indicate it is the sound coming out of the handset. Words inside the bubble read, ‘Maybe it will happen today…’

FÊTE-ALITY
Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless
The future will be better, and it will be beautiful, and it will be because we didn't give up.
It's cheesy, but it's true.
A recurring monthly donation for $26.25 to Trans Lifeline in honor of Toddd Nugent.
I don't know what's so sad about a tiny bit of trans solidarity unless you're transphobe yourself.
I set up a recurring donation to Trans Lifeline in your honor so at least something productive comes out of today's bullshit.
A post from Abominable Crease reading "You could say that you don't support politicians who don't believe in trans rights. You could just do that. Right now. No one's stopping you. A better world is possible, and even your obstinant ass can be part of it. Go do something that's not getting yelled at on the internet." Below, a response from Toddd Nugent: "None of your ideas result in a better world. I am almost 100% sure they world result in a worse world. So I will not be taking your advice."
Guy who really, definitely believes "For me, saving trans lives is the highest priority."
You could say that you don't support politicians who don't believe in trans rights. You could just do that. Right now. No one's stopping you.
A better world is possible, and even your obstinant ass can be part of it. Go do something that's not getting yelled at on the internet.
Telling trans people that if they work real hard maybe they can have some rights back in 5-10 years sounds like a day off ass move to me.

MAGA is indeed a serious problem, but the existence of the institution is also a serious problem.
We should not abide the existence of a "law enforcement" department which kidnaps US citizens because they're brown or have accents. We should not abide the existence of those who say "papers please"
here's this vintage jeopardy clip with ken jennings
"What do you want the Dems to DO exactly?" is kicked dog behavior. Elected officials are not meant to do insider trading and occasionally give a 4/10 speech about civility. They are an expression of the values of those they represent, you're damn right I expect up to and including physical action.
I felt this way about Wuthering Heights - if I knew it started off with an upperclass twit repeatedly making a fool of himself it would have shot to the top of my list
I immediately rewound when this happened to make sure this was real. So perfectly dumb. So good.
Just go into any Rouses and tell 'em some doofus sent you
Greetings from my posting lair
You can be a part of raising 20k for this incredible organization - please join me in giving if you are able.
Better yet, set up a recurring donation for 2026!

Goddammit I hate this shit so much. These miserable fucks can't find empathy for human beings but are ready to declare the software that agrees with you no matter what sentient beings.
