Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

this milquetoast liberation theology is a start but it’s a day late and a dollar short. if leo wants to send a message he could place ICE members under interdict and excommunicate catholic members of the administration, including SCOTUS. no salvation for kidnappers

yes yes this is likely because harrell’s politics are not “democratic” they are “rich guy”

oh my god

In case you missed it (I did), What We Will Use As Weapons, quilt of school supplies teachers will use for defense in a school shooting--profound art and winner of MQG Best in Show 2024 www.quiltfolk.com/journal/one-...

worth noting: spd requires 720 hours at the academy and *generously* 880 hours overall before putting officers on the street. uh excuse me, but i think we should have job requirements for cops that are even half as strict as for social workers (3000 hours of supervised experience) #seattle #ugh

spoken like an old ass white dude who only knows the mlk that other old white dudes talk about. if only dr. king had said something like, "A riot is the language of the unheard... [America] has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met." wait shit

once again I must tap my own sign

one of these days we'll get around to investigating why so many of bruce harrell's appointees turn out to be absolute dogshit #seattle #oneseattle

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

oh thank goodness

i might use stronger language but this is a start

While we’re on founding fathers, I think people actually *underrate* the Gothic horror of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was his slave, she was also his dead wife’s much younger half sister as a result of Jefferson’s father in law raping *his* slave.

OpenAI is featuring a "Looksmaxxing GPT" that provides "PSL ratings" for photos. It will rate people as "subhuman", and advise men to get invasive procedures like jaw surgery to "increase their sexual market value" among women, who it describes as "hypergamous by nature".

“About an hour later, two ICE officials came the waiting area and said the members of Congress, and only the members of Congress, could go in.” i’d sure like to know exactly what happened during that hour @jayapal.house.gov 👀
