The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

We need to get on yelp and other rating sites and COMPLAIN. Goodwill is awful. It was designed to HELP a community. Prices at Goodwill should not inflate for any reason!

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money? Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

Anderson Cooper: β€œSo it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”

Answer: β€œYes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

A lot of good came out of ECCC. Because of my time with ECCC, I was invited to manage the RTX Guardians for 12 years. And now I get to manage the LightBox Expo Fireflies <3
I miss ECCC and will always be a Minion at heart...but it will never be like it was
And I have a hard time letting that go.

Between RP's terrible treatment of its employees and shows AND they way they see attendees as mindless walking bags of money breaks my heart into a million pieces. Top that with the dying days of Rooster Teeth and you've got the formula for nearly eviscerating my entire professional identity

The weekend of ECCC always has me feeling melancholy

On one hand, it's the show that got me into convention work and has brought me lifelong friends and unique experiences and meeting my heroes.

But all of that was taken away by the company who owns/runs the show now.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Bluey episode: The Weekend

When Bingo tells the leaf bug as it flies away "Good bye. Have fun. I'll miss you." makes me cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. because I would say something like that to every animal I saw when I was a kid
And I still do that as an adult.
"Bye, little one. Be safe out there."

Baldwin was blacklisted from certain conventions because of his views and the way he treats folks in person at shows who don't align with his beliefs. He cpuld be resucing baby animals and I still won't watch based on what I heard come out of his mouth at a con.

That picture includes two characters who were killed off, an actor who passed away 10 years ago, an actor with retch-inducing political views, and three-maybe-six actors who no longer need this show to call themselves successful.

Not included: the creator who's since repeatedly shown his whole ass.

The ONLY reason I'm sad to not be at ECCC this year is because I'd love to have Kyle MacLachlan sign an Agent Cooper and an Overseer MacLean photo for me.

ALSO - I hope that Alex Hirsch has a good time there and you all are kind to him

I can't help but think this was intentional - to make society decrease the severity of a word that can describe a crime or mental illness by making it cute, quirky and positive for capitalism.

There is something uniquely disturbing about the trend of making the word "obsessed" seem less dangerous than it means.
It's a huge marketing tool - I'm literally obsessed with this product
But what if someone is obsessed with a person or drug or ideology that brings legitimate harm?
