I'm constantly responding to messages with "no worries!" but honestly, for some of these folks, I should really just be texting "WORRIES"

HUMANS: At last, we've created godlike artificial intelligence that will tell us how to live forever!

AI: You could start by vaccinating against deadly diseases

HUMANS: ew no

A set of four cake pops that read HAPPY VALENTINES DAY; The first has 
H, VA, and D; The second has A LEN A; the third has PP TIN Y; the last has Y ES <3.

A cartoon below shows a very sad hamster holding up the one that reads PP TINY

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Bounty hunters lurking in bathrooms. There's truly no end to the GOP's predation.

Friend: "How's your knee?"

Me: "Oh, it's borked. Like, Swedish-Chef-level borked."

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Love that the party of "every teacher should be armed" and constant assault rifle photoshoots with the whole family is also the party of "a protestor carrying a gun is grounds for execution."

There are so many things to be furious about right now, but the silence of the second amendment militia bros as federal goons straight-up murder citizens in the streets over peaceful political dissent will never not grate.

A friend was apologizing for screaming about the state of the world, and another friend responded "but if we all scream together, it can be a battle cry."

I've got a new band! We're called Rabbit Prince, and we're female-fronted post-hardcore with a dash of musical theater. Our demo is now up on all your favorite streaming platforms, and I think it's some of the best music I've ever worked on, so I hope you'll check it out!

Jazz used to mean semen. Rock 'n' roll meant sex. The history of American music is people naming genres LET'S FUCK TO THIS and then 50 years later it's playing in the grocery store.

And also: shit, I'm sorry to hear that mine was relevant for you. :\

Body cams do nothing if there's no consequences for evil. That's just, like, scrapbooking for fascists.

When posting your outrage, don't forget that you can copy that text into an email and send it to your reps. Let them know that you are not, in fact, primarily motivated by grocery prices.

It only takes a minute, and might help push some fence-sitting politicians into actually fighting.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

I know some have been a little unnerved at the aggressive following and noisemaking tactics of the observers. What they don’t realize is that it’s necessitated by what ICE is doing. You have seconds and you need as many eyes on them as possible, and as many people trying to get key info as possible.

They don’t know who they’re taking because:
-they don’t talk to them
-they’re random pedestrians

It is literally indistinguishable from a kidnapping when you see it, except there are so many of them, and they are more heavily armed and armored than any kidnapper would ever be.
