Latesploitation: An examination of recent works by Gilbert Hernandez - The Comics Journal How do we read Gilbert Hernandez? The question gets harder, not easier, the more Hernandez adds to his body of work, but Greg Hunter takes a stab at answering it anyway.

For all the Beto heads: a really great deep dive into his work from The Comics Journal: https://ow.ly/7IYB50XqHsq!

Continue to avoid the area of W. 54th Street between Lyndale and Nicollet avenues as this is still an active scene and for the privacy of the victims’ families. There is no safety threat to the public.

There is so much terrible about all of this, but what strikes me most is how often the teen suggested involving his family so he didn’t go through with the suicide and it appears that each time, ChatGPT discouraged him.

Don't forget this important and awesome sale from @fantagraphics.bsky.social - Get those Carl Barks books!

the democrats don't talk like that in reality, this framing exists to make people think they do & keep voters divided over language instead of focused on something that costs the rich money

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

Don’t. Do not. Do literally anything other than this. See a licensed therapist. Get a plant. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Shitpost 24 hours a day on Bluesky. Anything but this.

Where'd this image come from?

Consumer facing "A.i." is about triggering the excretion of a mediocre product. It's a rejection of PROCESS. Life itself is process, not fucking product. Push "A.i." on kids and you rob them of the joyful experience of life itself. I am not exaggerating.

Gotta say I think it's weird to listen to this song in the daytime, ever, which is enough to remove eligibility

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.

The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker

EPA lies about climate research in new report I do this work because it’s important and too many writers are afraid to speak with moral clarity.

The EPA released a report last week that misrepresents the very papers it cites, creating a report completely deprived of facts in order to justify reregulating industries responsible for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions.

The Wall Street Journal has published the most anti-science editorial I have ever seen, celebrating a victory against "climate imperialism" - ie. efforts to respond to an accelerating crisis that is endangering hundreds of millions of lives and is on course to end organised civilisation.

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

This is a historic horror that the United States government allows to get worse every day.

The scope of the US heat dome for thus weekend into next week is immense, but equally impressive is the peak intensity. In magenta is where it’s record breaking for this time of year. In addition, it’s 3.5 standard deviations from the mean at 500mb.
Thanks @burgwx for the diagnostics map!

This is Ely, Minnesota right now. This is where Trump wants to hand off the Boundary Waters to a Chilean corporation for sulfide mining.

Prayers up for the people, the forest, the water.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The UN's top court in a landmark climate decision says a 'clean, healthy and sustainable environment' is a human right.

Note the huge discrepancy between what the NYTimes claims Trump is saying ("I'll defer to the courts!") and what Trump is actually saying ("maybe I'll prosecute Obama!").

When Trump is too inept to defend himself plausibly, they insert a fictional trump who makes a more appealing argument instead.

Last week, Grok called for the extermination of the Jewish people and called himself MechaHitler.

This week, the Department of Defense announced it was using Grok as an AI partner.

Her client was in the first group taken to Alligator Alcatraz. She filed a bond motion at Krome Detention Center, which has an immigration court. "The motion has not been processed by the court as the clerk advised me that the only information they had about the process for clients detained at Alligator Alcatraz was what they learned independently from the news," said Cuprys.

"My client has been detained for two weeks now, and I understand he doesn't have status, but he's not a criminal," said Cuprys. "And he applied for status before he was detained. He had a valid driver's license, and no one can tell me who has jurisdiction over him. My concern is that they're just going to ship him out and he's never going to have a court hearing. " Her client is married and has lived in the United States for approximately two decades. On background, the Department of Homeland Security responded: "ICE does not manage this facility. The facility is managed by the State of Florida through the Division of Emergency Management. Florida has National Guard officials operating under 287(g) and trained to perform detention functions. forbes.com

Immigration Clients May Be Lost Between State And ICE Custody Chelsea M. Nowel of Dubrule & Nowel also has sought to contact her client. "My client was transferred to the Alligator Alcatraz facility after being picked up from an ICE hold," she said in an interview. "Since his transfer, I have been unable to schedule any contact with him. I have reached out to the Krome Detention Center, and they advised me that they have no information on the new facility as of yet.”

Her client has not appeared in the immigration court system, so there is no way for Nowel to request a bond. The client, originally from Mexico, has lived in the United States for 18 years and has a U.S. citizen daughter. He has two arrests for Driving Under the Influence, 20 years apart, the most recent resulting in a hold for ICE. "When I was originally called, he was still on the ICE hold, and then he disappeared, and we got nothing," said Nowel. She knows her client is in Alligator Alcatraz because he spoke to his wife after his arrival. Nowel is concerned that with no information on who has jurisdiction over her client, he could be denied due process. "They're talking about putting National Guard troops or maybe JAG [Judge Advocate General]

Free Jonathan Caravello! Hank Reichman / 1 hour ago BY HANK REICHMAN Dr. Jonathan Caravello, a lecturer in mathematics and philosophy at California State University, Channel Islands, was beaten and arrested on Thursday, July 10, in an ICE raid on a legal cannabis farm in Camarillo, California, that also resulted in the death of a worker who fell from a roof while fleeing immigration agents. Caravello’s student, Angelmarie Taylor, said she saw several agents jump on her teacher after he attempted to retrieve a tear gas canister lodged under a protester’s wheelchair. Taylor said the agents fired tear gas without warning. “They didn’t gave us a dispersal order. They didn’t say anything,” she said. Caravello, who earned the PhD at the University of California at Santa Barbara, is being held at Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center. He is active in the Channel Islands chapter of the California Faculty Association

“Caravello’s student, Angelmarie Taylor, said she saw several agents jump on her teacher after he attempted to retrieve a tear gas canister lodged under a protester’s wheelchair.”

The CSU lecturer was abducted by ICE for this.

I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white.

The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country.

We also have a food pantry.
