What's Scarier Than The World We Currently Live In?

Yeah I'm a socialist because socialists are trying to make things better. Retweets =/= endorsements. He/him. Performative male without the milky drinks. This likely won't stop anyone, but don't read everything online, especially social media, as serious?

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

This is just the plastic straw hysteria all over again, and it's ableism at its finest: Blame disabled people instead of the corporations that are actually wrecking our environment, that way to poor widdle CEOs won't have to deal with people telling them to fucking STOP KILLING THE PLANET.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

they believe ai can be "creative" bc they think artistic people just copy stuff already around. but what actually happens is you live for 20+ years, say, study, learn, practice, read, create, start a new project, & then on a 2 hour walk an entire unique idea pops into your head from nowhere. Sry.

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that β€œthe rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean β€œanybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills!

We need you!

It's all right, except the artist occasionally over-focused on Ollie's lips.

To an uncomfortable degree...

It's been a running gag for a LONG while that Ollie's specialty is very VERY spicy chili.

Enh. IIRC, all you really miss is confirmation that Ollie IS working directly for Waller...

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

every time i am ever critical of bluesky it's because i enjoy my time here, have nicely made a home for myself, and want the place to succeed. i'm on my hands and fucking knees begging them to stop walking into rakes like please for the love of allmo just look down at the ground to avoid the rakes.

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago.

I think it's starting to be forgotten that joining the National Guard was originally a commitment to to serve in unforeseen emergencies, almost always natural disasters. You might get called up every second or third hurricane season. The second Gulf War changed all that and now... now, what is this?

There really should be more casual conversations like that in comic books. Especially when you consider how many people have died and come back...

Another coincidence (and the costume has a lightning bolt on the chest!). Larry was a contemporay of Jay Garrick. It's POSSIBLE Air Wave inspired Barry's look, but there was like eight years between Larry's final appearance (before the Silver Age) and Barry's first, so that'd take a looooong memory.

So having a second Hal Jordan running around was intentional. But ... now that he's a time displaced Hal Jordan, son of the original GL Air Wave (so these two Hals are at most cousins of some stripe, now?) the timelines don't quite line up, but there's leeway.
