Good point, I have had the internet on easy mode since the beginning. Sorry, didn't mean to deny your experience. All I meant was recalling when general consensus seemed to be that nazi shit wasn't welcome and confined to Stormfront, and it was a shock if it periodically breached containment.

Isn't that just a history of social media and how "irony posting" and "edgy humour" dragged the overton window?

it is incredibly fucked up that the UK government and police consider it a much worse crime to wear a t-shirt or wave a placard with 'palestine action' on it than to block ports and attack lifeboats

And the people of Clacton proudly re-elected Farage so he can stand there and laugh while the assault takes place.

These fascists will turn around and in the next breath tell everyone their policy of excluding and harming trans people is because they want to “protect women”.

A few facts about Water Nationalisation. 1. We don't need to pay for it. 2. We don't need to pay THEIR debts. 3. They don't invest anything, that is YOUR money that they steal almost all of, then the tiny bit they don't is 'investment'. Freeze bills, fine them. Nationalise for free.

That stupid idea of a $100M historically accurate version of the Odyssey sounds great to me. Let's find some cool old Greek man, have him sit in a chiton, and just read the whole epic poem. Cover equipment costs, and split the remaining fee equally with the cast (him) and crew (cameraman and editor)

My first thought on seeing it was that it was AI. As others have commented, it's the current phase, like Ghibli style images were before. I'm glad Shawn Tomkin shared your thread so I saw the context and had a chance to find the backerkit. Your art is great and far better than basic. Good luck!

Black text on a white page that reads as follows:

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.

If I recall correctly, Gabe Newell argued that if you make it easy to buy, you reduce the incentive to pirate. The logic worked for Netflix, Kindle, Sony etc. But now the licenses are so hostile to customers, the platforms stalk you, and everything has ads or additional fees, piracy is easier again.

I think so. Some of the early books I read were old school stories set in UK boarding schools. Each story was distinct but the characters built over time. It worked for kids so no reason it couldn’t be refined to be an effective mechanism for an adult story too.

They're also restricting YouTube but leaving Rumble... so in addition to massive overreach, it's leaving a huge pipeline straight into far-right sewage when they look for video media. This is like an own-goal that just keeps scoring.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

For most stuff, like Trump, I think you could bring someone from the '80s to 2026 and they'd be like "yeah, I can see how you'd end up here if you made every single mistake" but Sam Altman is a fucking anomaly. He's witless, obnoxious, grotesque; why even our sick society tolerates him is a mystery.

The world is watching.
4 frame comic. A guy with an American flag t shirt asks a woman with a Cochran Mamdani shirt : what do you care if Mamdani wins or loses? You're not even American. She replies : Americans have made sure through centuries of imperialism that whatever choice they make, the whole world will face the consequences. We are tired of hearing the gerontocrats standing between fascists and power telling us that the only way to defeat the far-right is to always move farther right ourselves. We want leaders who have the courage to stand up for the ideals, not political weathervanes willing to say whatever gets them closer to power,

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

People on the Right claiming the Kirk murder is an “American Reichstag fire” that justifies a massive crackdown on their political enemies is really remarkable, if you think it through: In this analogy, they are actively and affirmatively taking the side of the Nazis in 1933.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
