From the tempest fury, the spark ignites! He/him. Stealing the golden disk to go back in time and stop humanity evolving doesn't seem so bad now, does it?

Do. Not. Travel. To. The. United. States.

Desperation. They hear the siren song of "if I throw other people under the bus I might be spared". It's stupid, but as the pressure gets more extreme more people's brains will switch off

It's a very crowded field but TCW may be the most intellectually incurious pundit out there, it's just a never-ending stream of mush.

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

This is why protests work! At some point the administration has to ask itself if having a city on fire for days and spending millions to send in the National Guard and exhausting all your cops is worth kidnapping some random girl for waiting tables on a student visa.

How on earth can the UK sanction two Israeli ministers yet — at the very same time — continue supplying weapons to the very government they serve? The UK’s position is becoming more absurd by the day. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Now all we need is for Jim Carrey to show up and make them all dance to "Cuban Pete."

Mark You have always been free. You have always written whatever you want You own your own publishing imprint What are you talking about you mop

I'm not sure there is a more perfect example of how cancel culture, at least how folks like him define it, doesn't exist. Because he has spent the last...decade? Fifteen years? Consistently making comics with some of the best artists in the business with lucrative publishing deals "Cancelled". Pfft

Arcadia, CA going all night against ICE and they are asking people to show up. Honk your horns, bring your drums and noisemakers

Always an Onion article.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

🚨BREAKING: Georgia Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN four State Election Board rules concerning certification and hand counting ballots last year. A big victory for GA voters and a stinging defeat for the RNC and election deniers. www.democracydocket.com/cases/georgi...

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

Cops trying to describe a hellscape: "They are insulting the president and smoking a legal drug"

It’s so much worse this time. It might not be clear if you don’t live in LA, but the supposed “riots” are tiny. They’re nothing like George Floyd in 2020. Protests are happening in a few blocks downtown and as resistance to specific ICE raids. This is 100% pretense for fascist subjugation.

Total coincidence I’m sure

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Damn 😶

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

It sure is easier to grapple with a director being a piece of shit when their movies all suck.

🚨Locals🚨 Reports that ICE agents are staying at the Hilton in Glendale. 100 W Glenoaks Blvd, Glendale, CA 91202 Large protest planned for 6:30pm, let's get these scumbags out of our city ONLY WE PROTECT US

Remember when Obama and Biden both had opportunities to close Guantanamo?

an additional negative impact is that people who work at places that insist on a flat, 'neutral,' authoritative voice also think their way is actual good writing, and they'll actively go out of their way to talk down to people who write with personality at all

What's funny is this tells me that executives are the real ones replaceable by AI more than actual creative workers.

O ominous!

this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

I couldn't NOT do this.

"Snyder’s fans announced that they plan to boycott the movie by watching it only three times and dedicating a mere five months to creating YouTube videos about it."

Zack Snyder Fans Worried New Superman Movie Will Show Him Rescuing Someone hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

The sad but hilarious thing is, these wouldn't be too far off from the actual comments the Snyder cultists say.

People fucking hate Project 2025. People can't stand Musk. People don't want tax cuts for rich assholes while they get kicked of Medicaid. No surprise, people also don't like a police state that raids schools + shoots protesters. Their program is neither populist nor popular. Keep protesting.

Show up. www.mobilize.us/nokings/

Oh no! Who could have seen that coming? 🤦

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

Weird Al has released fourteen studio albums and ten of them are older than ICE.

When you start critiquing the behavior of the oppressed in service of appeasing their oppressor, you have already surrendered power to the oppressor to set the boundaries of what behavior is acceptable

Credit where due: Newsom’s team found one, count it, one other example of when this statute was used in the past. To deliver the mail.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

lmao

In Celebration of Pride Month Aperture Science Abducts First Gay Test Subject hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

paying $8 a month for an AI service so you can ignore and yell at its answers

Democratic elected officials should be out leading protests against Trump's authoritarianism. They need to start acting like our freedom, lives, and way of life is on the line. They are.

NOW: 500 LA solidarity protesters are trying to March from the Texas Capitol to the local ICE processing center three blocks away and are being blocked by Austin PD.

ICE ran out of water in less than a day when confronted by a peaceful protest in LA. The fascist threat from trump is paper thin and 100% dependent on people not pushing back on it.
