Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?
Ah-ha! We found the true definition of "ultra-processed" food!
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.
Two cats warily watching one another from different levels of a cat tower
Everything is awful but these two are finally starting to play nicely together.
Utah Legislature in Session
PSA: You don’t owe anyone an explanation about the health reasons why you are wearing a mask.
Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society.
Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.
It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.
America right now is an airplane that the crew is actively trying to dismantle mid-flight while at least half the passengers are sitting bare-knuckled just hoping we somehow eke out a survivable landing. (The other half are, inexplicably, rooting for the dismantling.)
I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.
I am so incredibly certain that we will outlive them and make sure they are remembered accurately; as tiny, desperate men gasping for relevance in a world which does not want them and has never needed them. but I resent that we have to think of them at all.
like GOD we all have better things to be doing! lives to be lived! art to be made! gay sex to be had! perfectly ripe stone fruit to be eaten! and yet I have to know the names of people who are not worth the air it takes to talk about them!!!
really tired of having to keep tabs on what the most miserable, petty, small-minded people on this planet are doing because rather than address their own deficiencies they've decided to endanger everyone else
Screenshots of the “you are sheltering enemies of the state” scene from Inglorious Basterds
when I have to pretend I’m not sheltering John Oliver in my basement but the authorities can hear him yelling about rat erotica through the floorboards
Here are cartoons I’ve done about Gov Cox over the years
I’ve been covering him since he was a wee Lt Gov
There are few political observers as familiar with him as I am
See if you see a recurring theme 1/
What an expertly called shot
This campaign has produced the best ads/content of any Democratic campaign I’ve covered since Obama ‘08 and it’s not really close.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
Real tired of “those aren’t real Christians.”
Yeah… they are. The history of Christianity is pretty clear in that regard. Religion has been willing to marry itself to all manner of horrific shit, if power is the reward. As paths to power go, the only thing special about it its effectiveness.
UPDATE: I've posted the judge's ruling and we're getting reaction from the legislature here: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah
the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.
I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.
This is why Utah is the nation’s fraud capitol. More gullible per capita than any other state
kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.
Do not give this woman a dime of your money.
1. Do not watch the new show.
2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts)
3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith.
