This aged well. Note the author.

A possum in a frantic looking pose, mouth wide open, surrounded by the words: NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR on an orange background with yellow radiating lines

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

This morning, I went to see what were supposed to be the completely unredacted Epstein files. However, some of the files were still redacted by Kash Patel’s FBI.

Here’s my reaction.

Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison:

Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill"

Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS

Especially the Reverse Victim and Offender part, except with essentially infinite resources to throw at the task.

It's DARVO, scaled up with billionaire wealth, made industrialized. Which is why it is so heavily aligned with the fascism, which *also* uses that tactic at scale.

From the right, every accusation is a confession.

An airline security card but instead of oxygen masks, it's squid. Just roll with it.

Secure your own squid first before helping others.

(I'm disproportionately proud of this drawing.)

Another good @volts.wtf thread.

@pennyred.bsky.social Just re-found your unapologetic tweet about neurospicy folks form 2022-07-19. I think of it often. So glad to see you're still writing and generally being out and proud about autism. :) There really are quite a lot of us. More than we knew how to recognize even a few years go.

Make it viral.

A screenshot of a LinkedIn post by me (Hilary Mason) which says: I’m angry, and it's hard to put this into words. Sexual demeaning and child sexual abuse material (CSAM) are not inevitable consequences of technology. It's a deliberate product strategy by X and Elon Musk. The environment that allows this to flourish has been around for some time. AI amplifies these existing flaws in the system and exacerbates the harms. This is a well-known, and pretty obvious if you think about it for a bit. We've had a disregard for safety on social media, general lack of attention and legal enforcement for sexual crimes against women and children, the absence of business ethics, a lack of product sense, a subjugation of empathy to misogynistic status incentives for tech folks. And now a leader who is taking advantage of that with no regards for the harms caused. If you post on X, please stop. If you have power or a position where you can keep these harms from being normalized, please do it.

I put this on LinkedIn because that's where I think folks need to hear it, but TLDR: if you're on X, GTFO.

Sexually abusive content is not inevitable, it is a _choice_. If you stay on the platform, you are endorsing that choice.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

And a palate cleanser:

probably a good day to turn off autoplaying video; as noted in the comments, this sometimes is reset by updates/reinstalls

It cannot be stressed enough that this is the moderate position.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons Looking at the first principles of icon design—and how Apple failed to apply all of them in macOS Tahoe

It's a dark time for design at Apple.
In addition to the transparency FUBAR, they've gone from leaders to losers in their menu/icon game.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

FUCKIN FACTS 💯

Some people are worried that if we switch to free healthcare for all, there will be many jobs lost in the billing and insurance segments.

But you know what, all of those unemployed people will have health insurance!

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.
