I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money.
Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.
if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.
The president is talking about mass murder...this is horrible he needs to be dragged kicking and screaming from the halls of power. Every official that isn't actively trying to do so is complicit, the blood of his victims is on their hands too!
you don’t have to feel like a bad person if once upon a time you enjoyed harry potter
you can be sad if it is something that was meaningful to you
but we know who she is now, her main goal in life is to destroy trans people, and she directs all of her money toward that end
also, while I feel like these conversations often devolve into “and it sucks anyway” I think that’s besides the point and risks falling into the “only good people can make good art” trap
it doesn’t actually matter whether it’s good or not - you still shouldn’t give her your money
ATTN: ALL MEN
It’s 2026 Use your MASCULINE TESTICLES and start calling out OTHER MEN WHO ARE RACIST MISOGYNSTIC PRICKS who weren’t raised with an ounce of decorum or are too UGLY to learn past high school BECAUSE THEY PEAKED WAY TOO EARLY and hold onto what they can
I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.
Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)
Because it goes without say, unless you outright say you reject ICE, you are choosing to endorse them by saying nothing.
You are legally allowed to say whatever, but don't get mad when people hate your answer.
BTW, fuck ICE.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
There's been a lot of talk about ChatGPT-induced psychosis and yeah seems scary but I'm more freaked out how the human brain can be so easily rendered non-functional by a little positive reinforcement. Although I guess tons of kings, celebrities, other yes-men-surrounded people already proved this
"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives
I mean isn't that why Jedi have lightsabers in the first place? They're for killing sith because using the dark side of the force is inherently corrupting.
A friend of mine is running a Battletech RPG and one of the players had custom mech for fighting in the games. So figured I'd go for a flashy look when I painted the mini. Plus a leopard cause I had left over paint.
I always find this sort of argument for capitalism utter baffling and deeply frustrating. Because Capitalism doesn't harness greed and selfishness turning it to productivity. It merely rewards and reenforces greed and selfishness.
Well, I guess we can agree to disagree 😉 I feel that capitalism is successful *because* it relies on the selfishness that comes so naturally to humans. It is, in my mind, why socialism has been difficult to install and maintain.
