Gonna pack some for lunch at the office along with some pickled veg on the side to cut the richness and a thermos of milky tea.

It's OK, tho: I make pork 'n' beans last night! White northern beans and smoked pork neck, with some onion, garlic, tomato, cumin, paprika, molasses, mustard.

Like $2 a serving for 10 servings and literally better than 90% of restaurants.

I have to admit, running a business like Iron Circus isn't easy, never HAS been easy, but lol it's so fucking rewarding. It actually does my soul such good. Knowing for a fact I am doing my part to provide the world with genuinely Weird Shit it needs.

Anyway, off to the ICC offices on a Saturday. πŸ™ƒ

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

This is massively presumptive on my part, just projection, BUT: Matt and Trey are both married to Black women, and I have to admit, as a person with extensive personal experience in what being married to a Black woman can do to a white guy's worldview? I am ENDLESSLY curious about the angle, here.

so many cool, inventive and interesting animated projects none of you even knew were being made for the past few years just got shitcanned because of this netflix/wb merger

When you're like "geez there's no animation jobs" "geez there's like no new shows anymore", this is why

Anyway: If this year has taught you anything, I hope it's that white supremacy is fake as hell, fails without support, and requires extensive enforcement and blatant acts of favoritism and exclusion to survive.

All-white/white supremacist spaces, political, social, and professional, are a choice.

Remember my skeets a day or so ago about Japanese medical schools altering the admissions test results of women so they wouldn't have to admit them?

Yeah.

Opening panel to Murder Wears A Mask.

Opening panel to Murder Wears A Mask.

The tales that accompany these are about people whose day was saved, even lives saved, by the fact that their flashlight batteries didn't give up. The tales aren't always great, but the opening panels are, even in B&W copies.

In the 1950s, the world went after comic books for having material that was too intense. You'd never see anything like that in the Sunday funnies of the time...

Except for in the Eveready battery comics ad campaign that ran at least 1950-1960.

For real, this weird idea that the new stuff is evidence he's somehow "changed" into this?

When google glass came out in 2012, they felt the need to at least pretend, there were probably people involved in making them who really did believe they were good for more than sex criming.

Now, 13 years later, Zuck doesn't even bother with that pretense. None of em believe in legit use cases.

The image shows a fantasy scene with two characters. On the left is a man with short dark hair and glasses. On the right is a woman with long white hair, wearing a light dress and surrounded by glowing elements. Many hands are reaching out to her. Above the woman is an infinity symbol with a heart in the center. In the background are digital elements and patterns that create a technological fantasy atmosphere.
