UCLA illegally fired me as DEI Director. Why? B/c I posted truth about this bigoted piece of garbage after he died. Please consider helping me keep my head above water, until my lawyers reach a fair resolution with UCLA. My pack and I could use your support: gofundme.com/f/waiting-for-justice-auvzc

Fresno's historic dive bar, Uncle Tom's, and why it's called that
Uncle Tom's is a century-old Fresno institution with a long history and a name that's worth explaining.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

3 panel comic titled “Logging into Bluesky”

Panel 1: 
A Pink Guy bursts into Bluesky wearing a t-shirt that says “Fun”. His little face looks so happy.

Panel 2: 
Six Bluesky users turn to look at the Pink Guy. They all look dour and angry because they have been overdosing on the discourse. Having the current state of the world mainlined into their veins for 22 hours a day has left them real grumpy.

Panel 3:
Pink Guy slowly removes his t-shirt and quietly says “sorry”. He won’t soon forget that Bluesky is the home of Serious Discussion. If he wants “Fun” maybe he should log into the Barney the Dinosaur forums.

Well that's a farewell to the guy who likes to paint Los Angeles banks on fire. I was sus when he first posted the first painting with no explanation but the likes make it pretty clear!
Instagram post by @paintwithalex with 4 paintings. 3 are banks in flames, 1 is a classroom where a teacher has protected the antisemitic "happy merchant" comic on a screenAlex liking comments: one says RIP Nick Bougas, one is the happy merchant illustration Screenshot from Nick Bougas' Wikipedia: 

As a cartoonist, he used the pen name A. Wyatt Mann to produce racist and antisemitic cartoons for the white supremacist newspaper WAR in the 1980s and 1990s, though his authorship was not confirmed until the 2010s. These cartoons are widely used as memes by white supremacists. Under the same pseudonym, Bougas illustrated Michael A. Hoffman II's Holocaust denial comic Tales of the Holohoax: A Journal of Satire.
