Comic of Clark Kent and Lois Lane in an elevator. Lois comments on how tired Clark looks and Clark mentions that Mondays are his "other Kryptonite."

Superman is grateful today isn't Monday, it's really his only...well, not his only weakness...

Listen, we didn't ask for a hot and sensitive Frankenstein monster but we certainly deserved one.

Trump: "I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people... Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead."

Keep shaming every company you see using AI “art” to market themselves. Tell them it looks bad, shows they lack integrity, and tell them you don’t support stolen labor. Be relentless about it, remind them it’s unacceptable, get yourself blocked.

Why? IT WORKS. Shame em & take your money elsewhere.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

There's some fascinating crossover here with transphobia.

I remember my father explaining that I could never experience discrimination in my work or healthcare because if I did I could simply cry 'transphobia' and everyone would scurry to take my side.

Something which has never, ever happened.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

over time I believe this will end up being one of the most unpopular things the administration ever does

a death sentence for many hobbies and all the average consumer sees is that you’re taking away all their bargains

one of the few policies that has a direct negative effect on almost everyone

A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.

This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

I recently went to a McDonald’s where you don’t interact with anyone, you just go to a kiosk and then they put your order on a rack, and the thing that gets me is that nothing on the menu cost less because of it. No benefit for me! Doubt the people in the kitchen are getting paid better!

ICE Is Going to Sinister Lengths to Avoid Accountability Planes used for deportation flights are flying without tail numbers so they’re harder for activists and watchdogs to track.

This is absurd. They obviously are doing illegal things and don’t want any oversight. Shut #ICE down. ICE Is Going to Sinister Lengths to Avoid Accountability.

Planes used for deportation flights are flying without tail numbers so they’re harder for activists and watchdogs to track.
