While I watch YouTube as I brush my teeth and wash dishes, 60% of the ads I'm getting. Denial there's any starvation in Gaza, and pro-Elon Starlink ads.

I don't post much about the war crimes and famine in Gaza but it's crazy to deny the obv: various NGOs, reporters, intl observers see them, daily.

We are witnessing the silencing of American media | Robert Reich From the Washington Post to CBS, companies are caving to Trump. This is how democracy dies

Shame on any media outlet or university that allows Trump to silence it. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/30/trump-silencing-of-american-media

I still return their calls!

I know!
*hmph*

Yeah, I figure airports don't count. :-)

🙏💜😊!

Yup! 😂

Kinda think I've spent time in *all* of them by now! 🤔

Though in the case of one or two, it's possible I didn't spend the night. 🤷‍♂️

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

The Men Trump Deported to a Salvadoran Prison On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been t...

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

'What do you think would happen if we combined Smile with Understanding Comics?’ Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud have the answer - The Comics Journal Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud talk to Gina Gagliano about their collaboration, The Cartoonists Club.

This was such a fun conversation!

Good advice, though in my case, I get around it by simply *redrawing* the first 40 pages after I'm done.

Same principle, but more work!

Lehrer was a huge part of my nerdy childhood and author of one of my all-time favorite lines:

“You can raise welts
Like nobody el(t)se”

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

Remember: Apocalypse is a moment, an instant, an event, a time; Armageddon is a place.

When you strip away humanity

The President of the United States on the human beings of Gaza:

"𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙚. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮, 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙗𝙖𝙙. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙗."

Welp!

Those are two wonderful choices.

Love to hear it! 💜

That's a pretty epic video.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Whoah. That is genuinely cool!

Deeply sorry to say that I'm going to have to miss Comic-Con this year due to some last-minute health concerns. Maybe next year!
