It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

“Not in Our Name” Full-page ad in the New York Times September 19, 2002 “Let it not be said that people in the United States did nothing when their government declared a war without limit and instituted stark new measures of repression.”

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Vance’s grotesqueness aside, the whole thing is one of the most horrific acts of betrayal ever committed by a democratic state against another. Just a moral abomination and a permanent stain on everyone who supports it

The goal is death. People feel bad and aghast at the murder of fellow human beings; which is why the first step is dehumanizing people, where what happens to them is not considered any more troublesome than flattening empty soda cans. Once they're non-people, anything that happens is fine.

Kodansha announces a new English translation of HANA NO KEIJI by Tetsuo Hara (FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR) (and Keiichiro Ryu). Hell, yes. 26 chapters were translated back when Raijin was around but never collected. Now do FIST OF THE BLUE SKY.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Once you realize that Trump and all the MAGA Republicans are working for Russia and Saudi Arabia, not America, everything they do makes sense.

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Not to be overly pernickety against Welker here, but the shock at the suggestion that Russia would 100% occupy sections of Europe is a little indicative of how the US at large misunderstands the threat Russia poses. Putin’s Russia has been occupying parts of Europe since it invaded Georgia in 2008.

I met a brother who has photocopies of the first several months of the Conan the Barbarian newspaper strip. “Would you like some scans?” “Would I?!? 🤓” These are the first four strips in the initial post-origin arc. Latter part of September, 1978.
