We feed you. They hunt us.

💥 Check out the new Graphic Novel PICKS OF THE WEEK for this Wednesday, June 11th!

Hi, pardon me, hello: mass protest in the face of fascism is a great idea and in fact the only thing that works to actually combat it. anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. sorry, i cannot anymore with this shit. do the fucking reading!

Still bangs.

"who was president in 2020" remains the most difficult question in the world for a sizable chunk of americans, professional commentators included

My most unhinged Mario opinion is that all Toads and Toadettes were once normal humans who got infected with the Toad fungus, and their short stature is because their bodies are starved of nutrients while the mycelium construct their intricate caps to disseminate more spores

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

bc the whims of the powerful can be unpredictable and unlimited in an authoritarian state, there is a saying among state bureaucrats and other professionals in myanmar which translates roughly as: “don’t do anything, don’t get involved, and you won’t get sacked” my.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%80%...

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

“Thank you for the party, I could never stay” - RIP Sly Stone, one of the greatest to ever do it youtu.be/wj5VODa-eTY?...

Popped into Dragon’s Lair comics in Mililani, O’ahu and signed all their ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN. Go grab them while they last. But sorry, if you were looking for back issues of ARAK and ARION, those came home with me.

Her name is Rosie: "A lot of vendors are undocumented and can't be here today. So those of us who can, we gotta show up"

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

I burst out laughing the second this vehicle’s name revealed itself

It's a time-honored tradition to steal Mugler (F/W 1998)

Honestly I think if this place was actually irrelevant we wouldn’t have to deal with the same freaking editorial every week for an entire year and a half

This is true, and the other thing making it feel personal is that it clearly IS personal for Stephen Miller, who grew up here in LA and hates everything about it, because LA robustly hates the kind of person he’s always chosen to be.

This is, without irony, the modern version of Cronkite saying Vietnam was unwinnable

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

Like seriously. I know to a lot of people it sounded like a far-left rallying cry before, but if we get through this, we need to Abolish ICE much like a democratizing Germany got rid of the Gestapo or the collapsing USSR got rid of the KGB

Look I’m sorry if I am touching on a hot-button civil rights issue in the Mario Kart universe but I just have to say it: I do not think they should let Bob-Ombs drive cars on public roadways

I only count the ones in which I have purposefully spent a night, so under that criteria, 23. If I count “driven through it on the way to somewhere else,” then 29 (or 30 if I count getting stranded in the Dallas airport overnight one time).

I would simply like to talk to the person at Microsoft who decided that Teams would interpret every opening parenthesis followed by the letter I as an intended emoji, thus fucking up what gets typed after it. I would like to talk to that person, with my hands

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I thought a drip in your house was a BAD thing

Wow sounds like it sucks

50

My BF went out and, against the odds, managed to find another so we could each have one. He is a king. Okay, goodbye forever to the real world, see you all on the Kart tracks

Releasing this strip mere hours before it began.......what did Haus of Decline know

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

Rift Widens Between Elon Musk, Anyone Who Ever Met Him

happy pride everyone!

It’s all blogs and it always has been blogs

between Elon's ransacking of the government and Palantir's government contracts I feel like there's a pretty good chance they *both* have the nuclear codes and they *both* have all our personal data
