60% of murdered women are killed by their men but the great freedom-loving chainsaw-addicted bro in charge of Argentina is offended by the legal concept of femicide - and is erasing it from the statutes. The manosphere, fascism & austerity are on the march, hand-in-hand.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center. How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down? How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?
