You know, to paraphrase @kenwhite.bsky.social , if you joke about some things, it’s kind of like ‘ironically’ fucking a goat.

Sure, you may say it’s for irony or performance art or to be provocative or whatever, but at the end of the day, you’re still balls deep in a goat.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Reprisals against commentators on the Charlie Kirk assassination - Wikipedia

Okay too many to turn into an article cataloging the firings/persecutions and Wikipedia is on it, of course. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reprisa...

He still had this up *after* the story about the Young Republicans group chat with the Hitler praise was released.

the government needs to stay shut down until the authoritarianism is meaningfully constrained or Republicans break the filibuster

Jeffries: "The effort to mischaracterize the rallies that are gonna take place all across the country is part of the continued right-wing disinformation machine that is failing to persuade the American people."

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

This is the lesson of 2025

this is kind of a trinity of their ballads that destroy me

You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over

It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over

i wouldn't necessarily call myself the most constitutionally ai-hostile person there is but the specific way they've rolled it out has made me a borderline neo-luddite. "oh we can't do this unless we steal." well now i want your company to burn

suddenly reminded of when Garbage (the band) was playing at the local theater and the pub just became the most black t-shirt, belt carabiner key crowd I had ever seen it was like a Yellowjackets episode in there

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

Rapid amyloid-β clearance and cognitive recovery through multivalent modulation of blood–brain barrier transport - Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy - Rapid amyloid-β clearance and cognitive recovery through multivalent modulation of blood–brain barrier transport

🧠 Alzheimer’s reversed in mice

A new study found that injecting nanoparticles can 'remind' the blood–brain barrier to function properly again, restoring normal brain activity in mice. Human trials could follow within years.

A black cat is watching the scene from the lower right corner.

In honor of Edgar Allan Poe's 176th deathday, here are a few of my recent pieces inspired by Poe's works 🫀

“We have to have discourse”

THEY SHOT A PRESBYTERIAN WHO ASKED THEM To pray WITH A PEPPER BALL IN BROAD DAY LIGHT

do you still think these people need yo be saved before they are stopped from harming people?!?

Trump: "Portland is burning to the ground. It's insurrection all over the place. It's Antifa...the politicians are afraid for their lives. That's the only reason that they say there's nothing happening. And you've seen it. The place is burning down, and they pretend like there's nothing happening."

Hell, I see this pop up in Warhammer groups semi regularly now.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I was completely unprepared for the threat posed by the Antifa super soldiers.

Once the base layer dried, I started stippling increasingly bright shades of green with big, soft makeup brushes.

I keep twisting and turning the brush to get random shapes. I'm focusing the light towards the middle of each panel.

I'll start refining after a couple more layers.

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.

BEHOLD, THE HORROR BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION ... WHY AREN'T YOU TREMBLING WITH FEAR? Smash.
