Happy birthday!!

Cover of Psychopomp Part 1 by Zack Loup. It says "When You sing the crossroad blues... the devil will dance with you". A group of anthro characters; at the forefront is a greaser dog smoking a cigarette and smiling at the viewer. Behind him is a sad looking cheetah lady playing the guitar, a handsome coyote drinking coffee, a grinning hyena lady with a snake around her neck wearing a tophat, a dapper old dog holding a book and looking serious, a black cat holding up a crystal ball, and above them all looms a weasel wearing robes. Behind him is a glowing red occult symbol. There are various floating chunks of land, houses, a church, a bar, gravestones, a car, and a railroad crossing against a night sky.

Cover of Cry Coyote by Stray Songdog. A retro neon sign of a purple coyote crying big blue tears surrounded by saguaro cacti. Behind it is twilight and a big yellow moon is rising.

Hey y'all, it's my birthday! My wish is for you to check out my webcomic Psychopomp and/or my music, because I work really hard on them and they're very dear to me!

Anas Al-Sharif أنس الشريف @ This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so l could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah's will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where l am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend-patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom. 3:25 PM • 8/10/25 • 675K Views

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

My car is absolutely stuffed with random belongings, including 8 jumbo vacuum sealed bags full of faux fur. I'm driving to Atlanta tomorrow to get the key to my new apartment!

Israel has been systematically killing journalists, medics, and aid workers.

Hey guys, I REALLY need to get sales going. I owe 800 on my car in 2 days, and thats not even counting the 1600 left to go this month..

PLEASE consider getting something! Or share/boost! ;;

yeah saying this shit is just supporting:

-Anti-Trans Bullshit
-Voter Supression(them trying to raise it up to 25)
-And all sorts of other bullshit they want to justify.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Here's the bill btw
Call your senators and tell them to shut it down

What you say: “Would you make this for me? I’d pay you the material.”
What it sounds like: “your time and effort and technique mean nothing to me”

As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act Amid rising electric bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household and business ratepayers from the costs of feeding Big Tech’s energy-hungry data centers.

Has your power bill gone up?

ChatGPT might be part of why.

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios.

They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them.

Your worst art made with no money and no tools but your own brain is always better than the best art you can make with any AI.

The amount of Ai slop that is showing up as learning content for toddlers on YouTube kids is disturbing.

I just turned on a baby’s first 100 words video that I had assumed would just be a person reading the book. But it was an Ai genersted child’s voice miss pronouncing words like pear.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

I didn't know either. I asked a friend who knew what it meant.

This means Mastercard in particular is actively afraid of people bringing up Riot's connection to them negatively.

I think people should raid Riot's official livestreams and start spamming things like:

"#SaveSpeech from Mastercard!"
"MASTERCARD HATES THIS --> (.)(.)"
"#stopkillinggames"

and more

Some of them do, or something similar. At Dragon Con it's in the schedule as "friends of Bill W" IIRC.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We ARE at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

It sounds lovely! I just took early retirement and it's strange. Every day feels like Sunday but Monday never arrives.

Long distance hugs. I hope your vacation is peaceful!

We need to normalise, and dismiss these fuckers with "the bigots are lying again."

A lot of Palestinians managed to access things like sugar and cheese yesterday because the prices fell quite abruptly and the shops managed to fill shelves again. Now is a really good time to donate so they can stock up. If you're overwhelmed by the number of people in need, just choose randomly.
