Also what the fuck with the gnosticism. Does she know what that word means?

The people who complained about having to lock down for a pandemic have not once ever flirted with asceticism.

you do not have to do racism to experience “the frisson of transgression” you can simply shoplift an eyeliner pencil or cheat on your husband instead

This is false.

Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

You know how everyone thought food prices were bad the last couple of years?

I’ve got bad news.

When Hegseth got in I said there are three types who join the Guard: the former active duty who want or need to keep a hand in; the warehouseman and so forth who wants the extra money and education; and people who want to play soldier. The latter group is small, but you should be afraid of them.

The man is a legend.
He wouldn't remember me; but, we had a few wonderful emails about 25 years ago.
There is a long, great story in there.

He is offering this as a free download as an epub or PDF.

Saharan dust plume to transform UK sunrises and sunsets this week Fine sand from Saharan desert will travel thousands of miles and when mixed with rain can leave harmless coating on cars

Sharing for the line:

'when mixed with rain, it can leave deposits on cars and windows, a harmless phenomenon known as blood rain.'

not now, harmless blood rain!

You can acknowledge that the Iranian regime is brutal and repressive and at the same time say that it is unconscionably evil to attack Iran with no reason or provocation or approval from Congress. The statements are not contradictory. Both can be true.

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

"H.R. 7661 is a national book-banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people across the United States. It is called the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act” – a title that misleadingly implies the bill, or those who are backing it, have the well-being of children in mind at all."

"Whose career imploded during MeToo" is a weird fucking way to say "who was credibly accused of sexual assault, as well as physical and emotional abuse of women"

"Max Landis, who was credibly accused of rape by multiple women" would have worked.

RIP Tajana Wood
The widow of Wally Wood, she was the colorist on my run of Swamp Thing. I remember my editor Stuart Moore taking me deep within the bowels of DC's production offices in 1992, to introduce me to her.
Safe travels to the farthest shore, good lady.

Before you are two doors. Behind one is limitless wealth, and behind the other is a tiger. This is a conundrum because you fucking love petting tigers.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

State Department orders nonprofit libraries to stop processing passport applications The State Department has ordered nonprofit public libraries to stop taking passport applications, cutting off a popular local service.

This scheme to make passports harder to obtain comes as Republicans are trying to make passports one of the few documents that can be presented in order to be permitted to register to vote.
