This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

Pat is such a bullshitter, it's so fun to watch lmao

Half Ken Loach, half Stan Lee

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

random dude texting a hostage from outside the gun-riddled building: you have no idea how much everyone out here hates you

Screenshot from BBC News live text coverage of Trump press conference: 19:27 This news conference could go on for a very long time (byline: Gary O'Donoghue, Chief North America correspondent at the White House) This is the president in his most enigmatic and expansive mood. During the campaign this used to be called "the weave" – meandering from subject to subject, often the connections not immediately obvious.

going to use "at my most enigmatic and expansive" to describe the next time I have a few too many wines

One of the most horrifying bits of Christopher Browning's book "Ordinary Men," on a group of German Holocaust perpetrators, is the fact that absolutely nobody in the unit Browning researched was ever punished in any way for refusing to participate in massacres. These guys could just say no.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

You son of a bitch I’m in

Seconding what others say - holds up IMO!

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality

Batman fans, today I learned that, at the 1915 World’s Fair in San Francisco, the Underwood Company exhibited a giant typewriter.

A London Underground advertisement for testosterone for men

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

I really wanted to like it. I reallllllllllly wanted to.

and yet

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Well, you did ask Steve! :P

I'd love some sort of a guide to the greater Pat Mills universe – Invasion! and ABC Warriors and all that!

It’s disgusting that Tony Kushner had to stand up to a man who was saying Renee Good got what was coming to her. But without that happening we might never have known that he needlepoints pillows with scenes from The Shining

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

thankfully this run is starting to get the press it's always deserved! but ann nocenti is simply one of the geniuses of our time

David Lynch saying You're all together on this planet trying to live a life, you know, a good life. Why would you torture people?

Am I the only one who has reservations about Hamnet? An inarticulate Shakespeare? A depiction of a marriage and parenting based on C21st models? A witchy earth mother who howls with grief and a male figure who by contrast channels his grief into art? All very dubious, in my book

Sorry to anyone who thought Wokeness was annoying but as we now know it's the price we pay for a civilized society

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.

The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.

This is not protection. This is occupation.

proty ii <3

not a joke i love him

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

A great way to discourage comic creatives from introducing more trans characters is to flip out every time one is introduced because they don't meet your individual criteria for perfect representation! Stop doing that!

you know how if you try and make LLMs more racist, they also end up more sexist and pro-genocide? this is the human example of that. evil isn't a single thing, if you start down one path you keep ending up at the same destination.

tweet SOON the people of Greenland will be free Attached is a video clip of a huge shopping street in snowy Greenland filled to the brim with cars on snow shoes, with the Northern Lights in the background

There honestly cannot be a satire cutting enough to make fun of Americans. What the fuck do you mean the highest colonial ideal you could imagine was a parking lot with McDonald's on both sides
