Shout out to the lady I met on my way back after coffee, who was walking her big chunky black cat on a red leash. The cat's name was "Kisses of Death", because apparently she wanted to name him something badass but he just likes to give kisses. Kisses of Death, thank you for brightening my week.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

We started a war with Iran and four days later we have reached the stage of desperately trying to figure out some kind of crazy A-Team plan to win a war with Iran

"LANTERNS" probly has a lot to prove to certain parts of the fandom, following on the heels of more 'back to source' features like "SUPERMAN." But it's not as though doing "GREEN LANTERN" as a topical two-hander road story is somehow unprecedented...

I'm 43 and that's generally how I explain why I know so much older stuff. I just say "I watched a lot of reruns as a kid".

Yeah, "STRANGER THINGS" is particularly egregious about this after Season 1. All their stuff is too new. They don't have hardly any 70s junk around, even the poor kids, and those nerds would have deeper hangups especially about music.

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

In the age of Trump, we sometimes forget that a good message like this is the right thing to do.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

This, for the love of Pete

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Today's webcomic page continues serialization of EMPOWERED vol.12 with the opening chapter's title page, which will soon prove a tad deceptive: www.empoweredcomic.com/comic/volume...

In our quest to get my wife Canadian citizenship, we have to prove that our marriage is genuine. I just checked Bluesky for a few mentions of her and OMG, I have been documenting our whole relationship on here for years! That's lucky!

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

American Jews have been TRYING to tell folks that yes, AIPAC is evil, & fuck them, but Christian Zionists in the US outnumber Jews IN THE WORLD & have risen to power in all areas of our government, & they want to bring the End Times (& kill all the Jews btw), AND THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

We have done this *multiple* times with different middle eastern groups and *every time* is has ended up making thing horrifically worse.

Osama Bin Laden didn't come from fucking nowhere ...

We bombed a country with absolutely no thought or planning to getting our own staff to safety and now we’re just sending them cutesy little jokes about how they’re probably fucking like rabbits while trying not to get killed.
