If you're THAT desperate for furry game, remember that there's tons of indie furry devs out there who are making them with love and passion.

Don't feed the Corporation Slop.

Vaccine-supporting Cassidy declines to speak against RFK Jr. But Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, did emphasize his belief that vaccines are safe.

He betrayed his oath as a doctor and voluntarily supported a man whose insane policies will kill children, all for the sake of power, MAGA, and politics.

I hope he is shamed for life.

They’re doing eugenics right out in the open now, largely because Trump, RFK Jr, Dr Oz and the rest of the fascists have been pushing a eugenicist agenda since they seized control.

It’s white Christian nationalism and it’s dangerous.

Disabled people are not β€œimperfect”.

We are also not expendable

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I found an even deeper level that’s to be avoided because it’s knowing the class and Siren sound of the Soviet fire trucks used in response to the opening stages of the Chernobyl disaster.

(And yes HBO did use actual preserved Soviet autos for their miniseries)

Are you ready?

I wanted to make a fun holiday ad for Coca-Cola in the spirit of their old Holidays are Coming commercials.

So I sat down and made this beautiful picture, and it looks really great.

A comic illustrated with pen and watercolor.
A stoat or long-tailed weasel has grown their snowy ermine winter coat. 
Panel 1: Stoat: "Everybody! Look! Look at me! Stop what you're doing and look at my beautiful winter coat!" 
Panel 2: (stoat realizes something): "I mean... erm... never mind! Don't look! It's camouflage! Pretend you didn't see me."

Someone forgot how to stoat.

Sorry for writing so much about this but here is an example with papers …

People pointed out that β€œcomorbid with Autism” was a negative term as comorbidities are diseasases and such AND pointed out the largely accepted and acceptable replacement term β€œCo-occurs with Autism”

Neurotypicals are evidently very ignorant on the basics of trains and train sounds given they made the Vorkuta escape in the og Black ops CoD with a diesel’s horn, and the train was being pulled by a p36 express engine with no tender

I don’t know where the term β€œSpecial Interest” was coined or how but I don’t associate it with with negative and see it as superior to:

- highly restricted interest
- fixated interests
- Abnormally intensity focus

Etc …

Whereas since then dumb/stupid/idiot have evolved into describing not smart actions/behavior regardless if the guilty party has an intellectual disability or not (such as the Charge of the Light Brigade).

All that said, r*t**d is a word that has aged like milk left out in the sun

Yeah words have a habit of evolving their meaning over time with or without the memory of the actual og context being remembered.

In fact words like dumb/stupid/idiot were made framing not smart/intelligent as being directly a result of mental disability.

You feel like a self-righteous crime lord upset his dreams of total power fell through despite all the violence and fear you directly caused pondering your future and hallucinating another person while the public around you are completely oblivious to the monster (you) right there among them?

This is on par with another headline that galls me every time it pops up: asthma inhalers are ruining the environment. Like, buddy, can we talk about why so many of us need inhalers in the first place? Corporate polluters: Sorry, we're too big to fail, so stop using your inhaler, commoner!

The Kellogg’s Eugenics of the early 1900’s was one of the inspirations for the Nazis holocaust. The Nazis just didn’t carry on the tradition of eating bland corn flakes cereal to act superior to fellow whites

The point here is not that every person who was suspicious of the Covid vaccine or wondered about the origins of the pathogen or who likes to eat beef tallow chips is secretly a Nazi. The point is that conspiracism is a powerful cultural force with dangerously reactionary political effects.

Welker: Do you think that Trump is a fascist?

Mamdani: That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today.

Welker: You’ve called him a despot. Do you still believe Trump is a threat to the democracy?

Mamdani: Everything that I’ve said in the past, I continue to believe.
