Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

To share some happy news, which is sort of counter to most of the news it feels right now. A new (and sadly final) season of #SolarOpposites has arrived. It is one of the best shows. Highly recommend it.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

“Parliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.”

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

After Trump got his Covid shot, he chose to fire the scientists protecting the rest of us from diseases.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are! The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee). Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas. I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

So I packed a small hiking bag inside a bigger checked bag for this little trip we are taking. That’s normal right? People do that? 😂

Signalgate 2.0, this time not about plans for attacking Houthis in Yemen, but sending the 82nd Airborne to Portland, Oregon

DHS cameramen film their assault on tackled protesters.

You can see how their cameramen document their violence. This is about content creation. For the last one, I had to search my files for a photo of this moment that didn't include the face of a pained or screaming protester, but for clarity: those are tackled human beings on the ground.

Sorry. 🫂🫂

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

I’m tired of living in unprecedented times. Would love me some precedented times right about now.

We are ruled by bloggers, podcasters and con-artists. And they are all maximally WEIRD people.

Far side cartoon: an ape is grooming another ape and says “Well, well–another blond hair. Conducting a little more ‘research’ with that Jane Goodall tramp?”

Except from an article: “Well, well–another blond hair. Conducting a little more ‘research’ with that Jane Goodall tramp?” When the strip ran, the Jane Goodall Institute was not amused, promptly drafting a cease and desist letter. Larson maintained he had no ill will towards Doctor Goodall. At the time of the controversy, Goodall had been out of the country, but saw the cartoon for herself when she returned–and loved it. Goodall instructed the institute to drop the issue. In the aftermath, Goodall reached out to Larson, and the two became friends; Larson even licensed the cartoon to the Institute to produce a t-shirt that was then used to raise funds. Goodall even went so far as to write a preface for one of The Far Side’s collected editions.

When I was a kid I was completely obsessed with reading about animals (Zoobooks hive rise) and idolized Jane Goodall. And now I also love that she was good humored and loved jokes about and even drag portrayals of her. RIP! 💚

Welcome back and glad you had a good break.

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

Will ICE get paid during the shutdown? Will they get the ridiculous perks ($50k sign on bonuses and student loan forgiveness)? Asking out of pure ignorance and potentially excitement.

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

The biggest reason for longer waits is staffing shortages, which are driven by more people leaving healthcare practice than entering, esp nursing, due to bad management practices (often related to private equity).

This administration’s immigration policies will significantly worsen these shortages.
