An illustrated cartoon shows a person swinging a wooden bat into the leg of someone trying to walk past them. The text above reads, “How to kindly explain to someone that picket lines aren’t meant to be crossed.”

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

Michele hates party dudes, confirmed

I like that town you're from. I heard if you don't like the weather, just wait an hour in that town you're from. It is SO confusing to people NOT from that town.
I heard drivers from a different town fucked up the traffic in your town (unless you're from that town that exports all the bad drivers).

Reject AI "Art" Resist the ceding of your soul

AI music is a disgrace, an affront to art, and something for us all to reject wholesale.

Not only does it hurt artists, it makes our lives far worse and threatens that which makes us human.

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused.

I'm a sucker for his rotoscoped stuff: Waking Life, A Scanner Darkly.

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now.

But there's an even more important reason...

Hey everyone,

I hate asking again, but the movers we hired ripped my family off. Quoted us about $4k then extorted another almost $4k. I’m sick from overwork, will have to miss work to recover and we’re down a lot more than planned.

Every time Hot Snakes comes up in one of these I turn green with jealous rage.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

A Little Ska, a Lot of Thanksgiving Memories The stereo cabinet in my living room is mostly silent throughout the year. My late mother spent a pretty penny on the system, right down to its premier turntable. Before it wound up out of commission ...

One of the grossest main episodes to date. The bottom-half open casket bit is an all-timer.
