they are so monocultural and ubiquitous now that it's genuinely thrilling to see people wear skin-tight pants!!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

The stopgap measure being voted on today to try to avoid govt shutdown includes a provision that could strip ALL federal funding from any institution/facility providing access to any form of gender-affirming care, for anyone of any age. Call.

We will grow old together.

Thanks for the responses everybody! It's always so lovely to be reminded just how talented and wide-ranging the comics community is, and I'm excited to pair as many folks as I can to the projects we'll have moving forward. ๐Ÿฉต

(Still accepting replies -- feel free to share with folks you know!)

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

Never been an easier argument to make in support of art.

Artist: "I make things because I like to and because I care about the people/self-expression/the creative spirit within all of us."

Company: "I had my computer make a weird and meaningless picture to try and sell a shitty product."

Seeing those awful genAI Sk3tchers ads everywhere sucks, but it's been doing wonders for my imposter syndrome. Like, why am I cautious about sharing my work when a multi-billion dollar company is willing to push the cringiest slop?

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and heโ€™d still have a job.

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from โ€œcivil warโ€ and โ€œblood in the streetsโ€ to โ€œwow guys itโ€™s just a sad tragedyโ€ when it becomes inconvenient

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously"

No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

This is it, truly. A very clarifying moment to be alive during, living and loving in spite of the depravity. What's essential stays and everything else - let go.

Until I know for sure that WeTransfer isn't training models on user content, I'm withholding my usage.

WeTransfer says files not used to train AI after backlash Some social media users had threatened to delete their accounts after WeTransfer's terms were updated.

After a quick look re: my last repost.

Needless to say, I am *deeply* skeptical. The theft of copyrighted work for use in training generative AI models has become so commonplace. I've lost all trust on this matter and have a "prove it" mindset when it comes to terms like these.
