Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz references Tiananmen Square, invoking the theme of standing up to Musk's Teslas to call on American defiance.

It's been over a week since I logged off socials and stopped reading the news compulsively. My mental health temperature has come down. I am happier. I have done more pottering about in the garden, reading, playing Witcher3. It's all 5 stars. My goal is to do the rest of the year. We are allowed.

Another blow to climate science news.

Kleptocracy or Oligarchy, it's all a Siphonocracy. MAGA really did their overlord's bidding for NOTHING - just a fleeting feeling of superiority and will get loss and harm at every level in return. Every one a chump, gull, mark, mug, patsy, soft touch... simply duped. #played

Literally the same day Politico publishes an article arguing pfffft disinformation is no biggie I find out RFKjr is an AIDS denialist and come on, people, for crying the fuck out loud.

Elon was horrible long ago but the always-online brain rot he exemplifies isn't just something that afflicts Bond villain billionaires and MAGAites. All around nice, smart, people are being pulled into rabbit holes and rage and cycles of self-promotion. Log off more.

In case we still need to clarify…

I wish I lived in a country where Mitch McConnell, John Kelly, Bill Barr and John Bolton had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, or Anita Hill.

I was going to be a former angel - but got into dads razor xmas eve and shaved my eyebrows off. Apparently angels have to have eyebrows, who knew?

Worldwide christian-pedo-clubs do yearly self-forgiveness before next year's go at ruining the minds and lives a fresh crop of children. Why not just be whipped through the streets naked while we all yell "SHAME" and pelt them with veggies as past their use-by-date as their anachronistic rituals. 🫥

Indeed, this is where we are.

Any time the perpetrator of a terrorist attack has a social media profile that says very directly that they’re a far right accelerationist, the headline is like “BAFFLED COPS PONDER THE RIDDLE OF SUSPECT’S MOTIVATION”

What does it say that this took me zero time to understand.

Them: ‘Dana, now that the orange felon will be back in office, maybe you should tone down the gay a little.’ Me heading into 2025: ‘We ride at dawn!’

This is shocking.

Just a reminder 💚

The stars - The Stars. Run!

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

This cover is more like it.

Speaking of nuclear power - I saw the Satsop Nuclear Power Plant while in Washington state. With massive cost overruns, it was mothballed in 1983 before it produced any electricity. This white elephant still stands because it's too expensive to pull it down.

This genuinely scares me, as an Australian Jew The refusal to accept legitimate criticism, and the awful accusation that legitimate criticism is antisemitic, is, imho, among the leading drivers of antisemitism, and paints our community in a very negative light. It’s what I feared from the envoy

If someone's primary function as a leftist is curation -- dividing leftists whose politics are good enough from those who should be condemned for their insufficiencies -- plz understand, that's brand work. That's not organizing. It's not building anything. Those people aren't offering you anything.
