also worth noting that Art Spiegelman's "Maus" had been serialized for at least 4 years by the time this came out. The two works should be read alongside each other

we love Stella

we love you, Stella

this is exactly what I saw from Queens but wasn't able to capture with my silly little phone camera, ty Molly it's perfect

This is what I’m talking about when I say these signs and locked doors are coming to a city near you.

I was unfamiliar with your and your team's work but am very glad to have learned of it; I'm especially interested in how men's ideological commitments shift in response to life events, and am currently reading the "Theorising Young Fatherhood" briefing paper

DSA: "Maybe we don't *want* Mr. Popular in our [not a] party! Hah! We don't need him! Unrelatedly, it's SO stupid that we aren't more popular. Which leads to my next point: will Mamdani's lies hurt the Democrats' chances to move rightward? The DSA is on the case!"

Really don’t think it can be emphasized enough what an INSANELY promising technology mRNA vaccination has proved itself to be and it’s beyond infuriating that it is under active and sustained attack by the most powerful people on earth

it's funny that parents try to keep up with slang no matter how dumb it is and despite the fact that they will never, ever be cool

I mean I read that he grew up in Nigeria but I have a hard time believing he would either contradict Trump or that Trump would take a more moderate position during this outburst if the kid advised him to

isn't that kid Lebanese?

they are angry that people are defending themselves. they consider that illegitimate.

now there indeed is a nickname for "Enrique" that's quite awkward for any English-speaker to see in print

These are concentration camps they're talking about. Any "prison" or "jail" that holds people who haven't been arrested or charged with any crime, who haven't been given due process, is by definition a concentration camp.

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.

you could use the banana. but you don't use the banana. why don't you use the banana?

I think Howard the Duck might be a kappa?

there's an interesting tension in the personage of Superman between the kind of soft power that a reporter has, in the respect of uncovering and publicizing realities inconvenient for the traditionally-powerful, and the fantastical and hard power a Kryptonian on Earth has

*he's* not going to call the ghostbusters, he's telling the listener (1) how to recognize the signs that they need to call the Ghostbusters, and (2) explicitly stating that when they see those signs, they should call the Ghostbusters. It's like you didn't even listen to the song, jesus christ

Screenshot of an article headline "AI layoffs to backfire: Half quietly rehired at lower pay" with "at lower pay" being highlighted

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.

@moreperfectunion.bsky.social there's a big error in this post, please re-check it

mistake in post--far more than 4 million people.

American people simply refuse to understand this because they've been conditioned to assume a paranoid mindset about poor people--that poor folks are like an army of scam artists. There is a class in America dedicated to constantly scamming us and stealing from us, but it isn't poor people

this is a profoundly, sanctimoniously tendentious misreading of Tolkien. LoTR is a mythological epic; there are no categorically evil people in it, but there are enslaved monsters who used to be people (orcs/goblins) but were corrupted by evil deities, and people supernaturally influenced by same.

Trump and his allies will use this moment to arrest, brutalize, and destroy the lives of hungry and starving people, a group in which people of color will of course be disproportionately over-represented

In NYC, @governor.ny.gov Kathy Hochul announced a food emergency, said state will allocate an additional $65M to help avert loss of food stamp program looming Saturday for nearly 3M New Yorkers, including 220,000 in Western New York, who will lose their food stamps due to government shutdown.
