Hey all,
My friend & FANTASTIC cover artist Lee Moyer took a tumble recently. His art will be on hold for a long while. He did all the Good Intentions covers, much of Poor Man's Fight, and more. He's also just a real good dude.
If you ever go art shopping, hit up his site!

Jackasses braying about how there need to be fewer (x) depicted in their (y) because they have been interacting with (y) for YEARS and have never ONCE met an (x) who likes it are self-reporting on a cataclysmic scale, and don't even have the decency to realize it.

Not sure how relatable this choice will be, because the crux of Ebenezer Scrooge is that he is capable of feeling shame and guilt for the abuse heโ€™s dished out.

"You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

One time I asked ChatGPT to generate some code. It gave me complete dogshit which didn't even compile, so I paste just the error message and nothing else. It then responded with an entire paragraph praising "my" code, followed by hyping me up telling me how close I am to getting it perfect.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, itโ€™s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work.

Looking at my copy of Mutants in the Now/Next and realizing that you can work from vampire bats as your base animal -and- be a human born mutant and finally, an RPG where you can begin to Morb. Not sure if this is an endorsement or not actually, come to think about it.

RFK Jr. fires NIH vaccine whistleblower Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo RFK Jr. fired infectious disease specialist Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who told CBS News she was put on leave after questioning actions taken by Trump appointees.

RFK Jr fired a whistleblower, illegally. They hint at it in the story, noting she followed proper procedure with her complaints but it's a new world of Kavanaugh stops and Roberts' endorsing every illegal termination (except at the Fed). But the NIH is being gutted.

I'll put this marker down now: if we go into a shutdown and Dems actually hold the line and don't immediately cave, their poll numbers will go up

90% of the reason their numbers are so low with non-Rs is they've managed exactly zero concrete opposition so far

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

Also, this anti-union Starbucks CEO commutes from his home in southern California to Starbuckโ€™s offices in Seattle using the corporate jet. Itโ€™s a 3,000km round-trip.

His contract stipulates he needs to show up in the office just 3 days a week.

It's not fascist to call fascists fascist.

It's not "dehumanizing" to say that terrorizing entire groups of people - which ICE does - is evil.

No executive order can change these facts.

However, people *can* mess things up for fascists by standing up for community and truth. Like this.

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they donโ€™t like.
