Tehran has a city population of ~9.8 million people with a metro population of ~16.8 million. It is the 12th most populous metropolitan area on the planet. NYC is 11th at ~18.8 million. It is larger than Istanbul, Los Angeles, Lagos, Rip De Janeiro Moscow, Paris, Seoul, Lahore, Bangkok or London.

A couple of knights in ink I've been doing character concepts for a client, and these knights have been my morning warmups before starting work

Shout-out to Dirty Pair for saying trans rights in the 80’s, and also for envisioning a utopian future where 10% of all people are trans

🐊 It is world croc day! 🐊

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Have just become aware that an online store have sold a couple of pieces of clothing with this design on them. When I made the print-ready files available for free, it was so people could print them out (on stickers, tees, whatever) for their own personal use. Not (NOT!) for profit.

it's amazing how many people read some AI guy go "look gunn agrees with us" and everyone went "well I just hate gunn now" and not "sorry can I see a source?" like, ya'll, really, no wonder we're cooked! you just uncritically repeat cropped screenshots of selective edits like and act like giving up

Look at this fucking FLOP

Holy shit. DHS just detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a candidate for NYC mayor, as he was observing ICE arrests in court.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

For those outside NYC, Brad Lander isn’t just a mayor candidate, he’s also the NYC Comptroller—the chief financial officer and auditor of the biggest city in the country.

don't even use "ICE" anymore. Just normalize calling them the gestapo.

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

Electoral take: in New Jersey, Ras Baraka surged in the last month and outperformed the polls by 10%, more than usual, which you can attribute in part to the arrest he had

"You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens who are asking to see a judicial warrant." NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander being arrested *along with a member of his NYPD security team* by ICE.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.

"Moments ahead of Lander’s arrest, THE CITY asked him why he was inside immigration court... rather than out talking to voters. “I don’t think there’s any place that’s more important to be right now than bearing witness and trying to stand up for the rule of law,” Lander said. "

I’m sorry—is it typical to put public servants in headlocks while arresting them?

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

hi, cis folks! the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people! if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

For those who think evacuating Tehran is possible based on #Israel’s warnings, which are nothing but a performative act. It would take weeks if not months to evacuate Tehran. What’s represented here doesn’t even come close to capturing the full size of #Iran’s capital city.

New painting underway!

Okay so what I'm gonna be doing on my Patreon for a while is brainstorming ideas for a fantasy TV show influenced by Farscape (especially its approach to puppets and prosthetics). Sketches, character notes, storyline ideas, episode synopses, stuff like that. patreon.com/gorangligovic

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

GO GO POWER RANGERRRRRRRRRS! Here's my official set, i was real happy with it :-)

Second official art I did for Lunacid: Tears of the Moon I did this piece to compliment the first piece of artwork. Thanks @/akumakira.bsky.social #Lunacid

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

This is insane. Republicans have lost their damn minds.

Rank-and-file Republicans are genocidal lunatics, and this isn't even new information. Anyone who lived through the 2000s knows.

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.

I live in a world where I am supposed to just accept that this sentence exists

This reminds me that “I am apolitical” is by default a deeply conservative position, and nobody’s particularly keen to interrogate it

without fail whenever a leftwinger is close to winning or wins a democratic election centrist media talks about democracy being on the brink of collapse

At 23% already! You folks are amazing, thank you! Art streams will begin on Wednesday, I'll post the link once I go live. If anyone else would like to get their hands on a Pride doodle, check out the link below for more details :D ko-fi.com/thebeardlybe...

A lot of people questioned whether or not the Resistance TM still had the juice but this is the third-largest protest day behind BLM and then the Women’s March.
