My friend just dropped a new X-men fanart

The best arcade game ever is back on home consoles. Truly, balance has been restored to the universe.

The primary function of a bloated ICE budget, concentration camps, mass surveillance, occupation of cities, takeover of airports, etc. is to get all their ducks in a row and set up a national infrastructure for enforcing a draft

I’ve teased this long enough. It’s time. To set clear expectations, I’ll be dropping page batches at irregular intervals, as I’m able. My intent is to package pages as complete “scenes”. This first batch is 7 pages, and will cover the opening scene of the story.

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.

Worldwide orders accepted later this month. I’ll post something here, promise

Here's a massive scoop from Ed showing OpenAI has been lying about their revenue for years

House Dems got the new Epstein emails from Epstein's estate not Trump's DOJ Same with the birthday card Even though DOJ certainly has them in its Epstein files If Trump has failed to release those docs, what else must he be hiding in the govt's files? Polaroids? #StopJohnsonsEpsteinCoverUp

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.

I just had to explain Mardi Gras and Carnival to a student using cartoons (Princess and the Frog and Rio) to explain it to them. Do people just not know things anymore?

Aaaand it’s FINALLY October. Let’s kick things off with a little X-Men themed Thriller homage! That said, I’ve got plans for the entire month, with plenty of art to share, and maybe even a little contest! Full details coming Friday! #xmen #magik #halloween #thriller #kittypryde #jeangrey #zombies

Full list of the hundreds of European politicians calling to deploy EU resources to protect the aid flotilla from Israeli attacks:

So, weird/fun thing happened at work the other day: Someone found a short sword, possibly a wakizashi! Overall, this has been a pretty weird week.

We went on lockdown at work. It was weird. Everyone was safe, but it’s still weird. I hate that we are growing numb to this.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Welp, it’s time to publish this: Bluesky Moderation has affirmatively dropped the ball with respect to allowing the transgender community on this site to protect itself. I have a blocklist, titled “Transphobic”. You can’t see it. Bluesky Community hid it.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

It is galling that a man with one neurological disorder is making life hell for people with a different neurological disorder. Other than that, I don’t care.

Kurosawa and Mifune had that shit on

The Breevort/AI thing is even funnier/sadder/maddening when you find out this basic shit is what impressed him so much with AI. Wtf is it with boomers/gen xers thinking AI is fucking magic or something?

I need to convince myself to fix my bike.

“Sad confirmation: The renowned association of genocide researchers confirms that Israel's actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide under Article II of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948). 1/2”

Ultimately it's just a good use of time.

Francesca Albanese 🇪🇺 Amid a genocide, Europeans must know: Israel is the second largest per-capita recipient of EU start-up funding via EUeic EU institutions will have to answer for the ‘innovations’ that have aided Israel’s assault on Gaza. But right now, this program must be stopped.

So apparently, I still am pretty oblivious to when people are flirting with me. A lot of the time it has to be pointed out to me or the realization hits me hours later.

She’s an Irish national. Is No 10 going to make a similar threat to everyone outside Britain who supports PA?

Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.

Next month for poetry book club we are going to read a book by a poet I don’t care for, in fact I LOATHE the one, tedious and exhaustingly long book of poetry that I read by her. However, this will be good for me, which is why I enjoy this book club.

This is tied up in the idea that in the United States there are no poor people, there are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires (to quote Steinbeck). The right in the US has done very well in selling the myth of the American Dream, and mostly to the detriment of those dreaming of it.

Paul Dama left Nigeria after being kidnapped in 2018. His detention by ICE now feels like “a second kidnapping,” says his sister. “I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined. The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

Finally, a united nation.
