Abolish ICE in Chicago and Everywhere

I love this for us, she says as she reaches for the jar of Catnip For People

Democrats in four states seek to bar ICE employees from future civil service jobs Bills aim to make ICE employees ineligible for jobs in law enforcement, public education and state civil service

Car ads (and, tbh, real estate website ads) seem to be operating in a worse dystopia than the one I live in... Everything they're selling is blatantly horrific?!
A smidge of convenience in exchange for a lifetime of bondage.

Thank you (genuine) for triggering this getting stuck in my head

I have soooooo many questions about this, and for my mental health, I'm not looking into any of them.

Is there a version with alt text?

Wild that the administration not only didn't bother to make a public case for war with Iran leading up to it, but doesn't even feel the need to justify it after the fact, either

"Locations in gray indicate no available appointments currently. Additional appointments become available daily at 6:30 AM."

Almost every DMV appointment in the Chicagoland area is gone by 6:45am. Unconscionable.

I am so angry about the "AI literacy" branding. If refusing to engage with the plagiarism/brain smoothing/sycophancy device means I'm illiterate, I guess I'll have to console myself with the real books I *can* read

Any Democrat in a position of power should oppose this loudly and immediately. Make antitrust laws a campaign issue. Fight it every way imaginable. Do not hand over mass media to a creepy dad-son dyad who want to cozy up to an increasingly loathed president bent on maintaining power illegitimately.

Well at least now that band name is back in my brain after a decades-long hiatus

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

THE ANTI-TRANS BILLS ARE A GENOCIDE IN PRACTICE

They are trying to make it IMPOSSIBLE for trans people to have a public life.

THEY’VE BEEN SAYING AND NO ONE WOULD LISTEN

"We can argue whether the citizen enforcement idea is good. We can argue about whether the bike lanes should be better designed. We can argue about whether there should be more loading zones. But we should not — we cannot — say the lives of pedestrians & cyclists are just the cost of doing business"

The brilliant and hardworking editorial staff of The TRiiBE have unionized, and are asking supporters to sign letters in solidarity with their request to be recognized:

A federal super PAC funded by the sports betting company DraftKings, American Future, said it was spending at least $85,000 supporting Andrade, who had nearly $147,000 on hand at the start of the year. And Andrade is one of four Illinois statehouse candidates receiving support from a new group funded by the social media giant Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads, that spent more than $22,000 on digital ads and mail for him. That group is working with $750,000 from Meta, according to state campaign finance records. Alvelo-Rivera had less than $32,000 to start the year, but then he received more than $72,000 from the Chicago Teachers Union PAC and $30,000 from the Illinois Federation of Teachers political committee this month.

Yikes. I didn’t realize who all was throwing money at Andrade.

Ahhhhhhhh shit, dude. I'm sorry for your (and the world's) loss

Kash Patel the hockey suck-up? Yeah no that tracks

if you actually enjoy getting mad about shit you already knew there is a person you can talk to about that and often their fee is at least partially covered by insurance if you have insurance.

Somehow the plagiarism machine has not seen the 1983 movie that we all immediately thought of?

A digital illustration. Seen mostly in silhouette (with some hints of detail if you zoom in) we see Sisyphus in his classical Greek togs against a reddish orange background. He is working very hard to shove an extremely large, roughly spherical boulder up a very steep grade. Large letters carved into the side of the boulder facing us read ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration of Skeletor as depicted in the 80s He-Man cartoon. For those unfamiliar he is a a blue man with a fantasy bodybuilder physique. He wears a cross-body harness with some little bones at the center and a matching purple hood that frames hood face which is somehow just a yellow skull. Here he is seen yelling up to the sky and shaking his little blue fists at the heavens. Cutting him off at mid-abs is some gleaming 3D lettering in the style of the Masters of the Universe logo that reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Some digital hand lettering swooping out into extruded 3D shapes from the right to left and angled down a bit. It’s colored in very mites tones of grayish-blueish-pinkish with some faint yellow glow behind. Of course it reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration of a bunch of three-dimensional, chunky-serifed letters going at different angles. The letters are being surrounded/clutched/supported/penetrated by a lot of fat, shiny tendrils in a number of different candy colors that are twisting around themselves and the letters and this is all riding together out of a bluish fog at the bottom of the frame. The letters are being held such that the still spell out ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
