I usually hate "Watch this conservative dumbass get OWNED!!!1!!" vids, but this one is so deeply soothing and satisfying because El-Sayed says so calmly and eloquently the kind of things I usually get too angry to articulate in my own interactions with such people Watch!

TikTok suspended the Musk film account and Meta froze the No Kings account - it's almost like letting fascist-aligned oligarchs own all our means of communication was somehow a bad idea.

it seems to shock the New Zealand government that Peter Jackson, Taika Waititi, and the Conchords etc all emerged from the same city in the same span, which coincidentally is when Wellington rent was dirt-cheap and there were heaps of empty industrial buildings around

... and, in general, less car-choked streets and more amenity rich neighbourhoods - then being able to *strategically* utilize the street right-of-way to create these things makes incredibly good sense.

Universal Basic Income isn't free money. It's a return on the value you've already created. Your labor, data, behavior, and knowledge generate wealth every day. The economy figured out how to monetize you without paying you. That's what needs to change.

Here's a lil thing I made a few years back for Halloween 🎃 featuring Ratatoskr!! Posting it here now for @ryannorth.ca to see

A chibi version of Marvel Comics' Ratatoskr wearing plastic devil horns and winking at the viewer

Chibi version of Ratatoskr sits on an animal food bowl that is full of candy. There is text saying "Loki" on the bowl, but it has been crossed out with red paint, and a chibi version of Loki is sulking on the left side

AIOTM was maybe my high point in everything I've done, but was incredibly demanding and relied on me having some kind of life to do jokes about, which is not really the case now I have kids. But yes, I think there was a point where that one could have made the leap and been one of the first podcasts

It’s important to never forget Russia has a GDP smaller than Italy. Just Germany and the UK together have a population as big as Russia. Add the rest of Europe? We dwarf it. Putin’s entire strategy has always been to divide & peel off bits of Europe… but a Europe that sticks together? No chance.

A redraw of the i nice panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman snaps a rifle in two over his knee.

He says "THIS is the weaponnof the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

It is very funny how the First Amendment is constantly invoked to mean "I can say whatever I want and you have to *accept what I said*" rather than what it actually means, which is closer to "I can say whatever I want and you can call me any name in the book in response"

Collective action means exactly that: collective action. If you stand to gain from its fruits, you need to also bear its burdens as far as practicable... Not that picketing is burdensome, it's normally a joyful experience. Some of my best friendships in my Bristol days were forged on picket lines.

From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."
