a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

An Army Corps project could wipe out one of Florida’s last thriving coral reefs The fate of one of the last thriving coral reefs in Florida may be imperiled by plans to widen the shipping channel leading into Port Everglades.

The US army corps of engineers is considering, right now, what would be the largest destruction of coral reefs in US history. To make a port slightly bigger.

People know this, right?

I don't mind the grey in my beard or the few coming in on my head. But I have one grey hair in between my eyebrows. I keep trying to pick it off and then realizing oh wait, that's attached...

Four panel comic. 

First panel has three people. One of them is wearing a MAGA hat and yelling at the person on the left.

Second panel, the person being yelled up holds up his hand with a "+2 mental health block" caption. The MAGA dude disappears.

Third panel, the remaining person who was uninvolved says "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with..."

Fourth panel, the person who was being yelled at initially holds up his hand with a caption "+2 Mental Health block" and the person who said "typical lefty" disappears.

World Central Kitchen head José Andrés confirms Israel has closed Gaza’s borders indefinitely and warns the NGO will run out of food this week. The group is currently cooking about 1 million hot meals a day.

Hey @democrats.org, Are we paying attention? Hmm...We want progressive candidates, with values, who will fight. You don't need to be Republicans just because that party has been lost to MAGA.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

It's really hard to explain this to anyone who didn't grow up in the evangelistic Christian cult that is mainstream American religion, but when I tell you these people won't listen to logic & don't care about saving lives, in part because they want World war 3, I mean that quite literally.
