It absolutely is. All I can do is find some silver linings and keep pushing forward. I remind myself that the least we are responsible for is taking care of each other, and that at least helps me the good that still exists. But jeezum crow is it tough

The military obsession with AI is in large part about being able to command something to kill, with instant compliance, no rebuttal nor compunction

And then not a single soul in power doing anything to stop them from destroying everything because they are so afraid of their donor-class overlords and 17.5 imaginary swing voters also drains so much of my joy away

Please use copious amounts of sunscreen!

Having a deteriorating, bigoted pedophile and his cabal of equally abhorrent sycophants murder hundreds of innocent people and literally ruin the world because of their narcissistic insecurities is…

They planned a strike on an elementary school for months

The best thing Page 2 ever did was give Hunter a platform to write for us sports nerds, the worst thing Page 2 ever did was give the world Bill Simmons

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

photo of a sketchbook page featuring some doodles of a more realistic nidoking. What this is not a photo of is that blokees nidoking figure who really thought this was about him. The ego on this guy is out of control.

Lil bro thought I was taking a photo of him 😂

the illusion of free choice meme where a cow is looking down two hallways that ultimately lead to the same dark wall. In this case, one hallway is "writing a master's thesis about sephiroth" and the other is "writing a book chapter about the 'female' form in transformers". Both paths lead to the one true end: Writing about Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

i should have known i would end up here, where all roads lead

i wetn on bsky dot app adn said something awful and everyone yelled at me; icb the state of modern discourse that such a platform cannot withstand the tiniest breeze of a dogshit opinion

Huzzah! Here’s to many more pleasant and enjoyable tidings from here to eternity!

If you're tempted to call this "Bay of Pigs, but stupid" I need you to understand that the first Bay of Pigs was already incredibly stupid

a thing the writer of 99 luftballons didn’t take into account is that one day a world superpower would get so dumb that the object it’d fire on would be its own

It looks like you are meeting up with three metallic oracles and they offer up a riddle about your fate after you use the facilities

Yeah. The capoeira kick sounds tempting too. Especially because of the way you would force them downward. Your character is romping folks vociferously

Oh like in capoeira! My favorite character from Tekken, Eddy Gordo, does one

Are you 66 percent leg?!? Holy Toledo. In that case, you say “Say ‘Hi’ to the Tooth Fairy” and you do like a spinning hook kick to their face, like so:

Oooo, your finishing combo would be like one kick to each knee, two to the gut, and then as your opponent is disoriented, you say “Hey! You can fly!” and then roundhouse kick them into the air.

OMG that is perfect lmao

What would your finishing move be?!?

The more I look at the second picture, the more it looks like you’re a fighting game character and that is your victory pose

~ unleashes a bunch of unfortunate and terrible news on you~
And how are you doing?

Bun! We’re okay. My wife has been on the receiving end of some grade A bullshit from her school, to the point where they aren’t even letting her leave, lest they hold her credential! It has made life unnecessarily tough. But we’re here for each other, and that’s all that matters

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

Lighting a candle for you in this Cronchless time 🙏🏽
