The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

Younger T-girl here, I use it, and many girls I know use it too. Given that there are many who deny that we can transition, emphasizing the reality of the fact that I’ve changed my sex is empowering

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Screenshot of a Reddit comment that says: There's a potent quote about the Hong Kong protests in 1000xResist that applies so deeply; FATHER: You remember? In the streets...hundreds of thousands marching shoulder to shoulder... Biggest demonstrations in HK history. The world watched it all happen. Heard our voices. Saw us bleed. MOTHER: So? FATHER: So if we stayed silent? didnt stand up for ourselves? They would say...this is how it always was. They would say...this is what the people wanted. But no. They can't say that. Because it has gone down in history... That we resisted fiercely. That we fought for a different future...until we couldn't. That legacy lives in us.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Congrats!!!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

the drip collective

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later

"It is unlikely there will be a protrans candidate"

Then don't expect my vote. It's that simple.

To Donald Trump and his administration:

If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

I used to get YouGov surveys back in the day, but IIRC they didn’t ask political questions all that often

A design made by Harebrained!. It's the Morton's Salt Girl logo. On the top it reads "STFU ABOUT CHICAGO." Just to the left it reads in cursive "you don't live here."

Looks like I'm gonna have to tap the sign again today

Please, find an interest or hobby that is not politics. I am so concerned about things in the US. But that concern should not consume your life to the point where you see someone’s post about sports or movies and think “how can I make this about politics”

I’m not the first to comment on it, but I’m getting really sick of seeing posts on here about normal stuff or serious non-political news, & then the replies are inevitably filled with people making it about the US political situation. The situation is bad, yes, but not everything has to be about it

I’m a big fan, but please do not use AI. There are plenty of artists who you could commission to do the same thing but better, and at lower environmental impact. Further, you wouldn’t be tacitly endorsing the theft of actual artists’ labor that occurred when they trained these AI models.

“Vance or Newsom” is not a choice we have to make. Instead of demanding trans people vote against themselves, how about Democrats nominate a candidate that represents all of us? We’re over three years out from the election. We do not have to settle for Newsom now.

He’s not a candidate fighting for ALL of our rights though. He’s backpedaling and caving to the right on trans rights, and that should be disqualifying.
