Faded color photo of a shorthaired ginger cat raising one paw up to plaintively touch a screen door as if asking to come in. The cat is outside and the photographer is viewing it from inside the door.

Years ago, I was walking home late one night, and a drunk guy was harassing me - trying to get me to go home with him, pushy sex comments, etc. After a few mins, his mate turned to him and said, firmly but not aggressively, "MATE. leave her alone, yeah?" And he did. I think about him all the time.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

Three new merch designs overlaid to show them on shirts. The top two are a stylized Robinmon with "Kill Your Problems" written on her heart. The color palettes are purple, red, and black, as well as pale blue, pale pink, and white. The third design is text reading "Bridge! We forgive you!

"After he retired to the cave prayer grew in him like a forest, sowed its seeds inside his psyche, rewilded his heart. He didn’t see that centuries had passed without him."
A Saint looks up from his prayers to
discover he’s been dead for some time
For St Robert of Knaresborough
By Jay Hulme - from 'The Vanishing Song'

After he retired to the cave
prayer grew in him like a forest,
sowed its seeds inside his psyche,
rewilded his heart. He didn’t
see that centuries had passed
without him.
                              One day he
looked up, hearing requests for
intercession, and the woods were
older than expected, the riverbanks
shifted by the years —
                                              and as he
knelt before the altar in his hermit's
church, his knees disappeared below
the edges of his emptied grave.

when he reappears in “Picard” and introduces himself as “Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko” I burst into tears like that’s it, that’s his whole arc he’s a classic Spock Archetype where we watch him strive to integrate his dual worlds and it really got me good

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

supporting trans ppl isn’t even progressive. it was the status quo. the reason democrats are attacking us is two-fold in my opinion. 1) techbros are transphobic and they want that corporate money. 2) strategists are scapegoating us for their failures on the harris campaign.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

reminder that it's not "age verification", it's "identity verification" true age verification needs nothing more than self reporting. if you say you're 18+ and you're not then that your responsibility. websites shouldn't have to care about more than that.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #9
Panel 1: Val and a blonde, pink-shirted fighting game opponent as sitting on front of a big flatscreen, a crowd gathered around them. On the screen is a fighting game showing a flying robot extendo-punching a blocking Doctor Duel in a flooded cave. Val narrates: "It's the last game in the set. I won the first and lost the second to make it more convincing."

Panel 2: We zoom in on the healthbars of the two character, revealing them both to be very low, with 38 seconds left on the match timer. Val continues narrating: "I made it CLOSE on this third one too. I'm PRECISE."

Panel 3: We zoom in on the robot extend-punching Doctor Duel, who is blocking in a crouched position, shielding himself with his white cape. Val continues narrating: "Now he's chipping me out in the corner ... and I just have to let him do that."

Panel 4: Profile view of Val's head, her face illuminated by the light of the screen, as she continues narrating: "It's just a small favor for a friend. A small concession. Really not a big deal and not a testament to anything."Panel 5: Val looks down at her hands.

Panel 6: In her hands is a PS2-style controller. She is holding the left direction input on the d-pad, in order to block in the game. She narrates: "But ... That's how these things work, isn't it."

Panel 7: Val, in mid-air in a dusty white void, eyes closed and mouth hanging open slightly, has several jigsaw-puzzle-piece shapes taken out of her form. She narrates: "Just one small concession. And then another. And then another. None of them seem that important ..."

Panel 8: We zoom in as she now has more jigsaw-puzzle-piece shapes taken out of her form, notable one of them previously where her mouth was. She opens her eyes slightly. She narrates: "Until you realize ..."Panel 9: Now instead of jigsaw-puzzle-piece shapes taken out of her, only one piece that has any of her in it remains, and it is her eye, in a state of dread and panic. She narrates: "You've conceded your ENTIRE EXISTENCE."

Panel 10: Val is now in profile again, but colored with dark greens and blues and frontlit with red. She is sweating and scowling, and he controller shakes in her hands. She continues narrating: "It's not in me. This isn't why I'm here. I want to LIVE. I want to SURVIVE ..."

Panel 11: She stands up out of her seat with such force that it almost knocks it over, a blaze of deep crimsons and yellows, and yells "I EXIST GOD DAMN IT!!!" Her opponent sits shocked, looking at the screen.

Panel 12: Doctor Duel kicks straight up, sending the robot flying backwards and depleting the rest of their healthbar, as the screen says "K.O." in big shimmering blue lettering.Panel 13: Val is standing in front of the flatscreen, both her opponent and the crowd looking at her in shock. The whole scene is bathed in red, except for Val and the screen, who are in colder colors. The screen reads "PLAYER 1 WINS" and shows Doctor Duel with a tensed, hand out, aura farming.

Panel 14: Val gently set her controller down on the seat of the chair.

Panel 15: Back-view of Val leaving the arcade proudly with her laptop bag, as Fatima reaches the tournament prize money to her over the counter with a nonplussed expression.

Panel 16: Val puts her hand out palm-down, rejecting the money, and says, with her pupil glowing red, "Keep it. I'll never come back here."

I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion
It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."
