I am being gaslit by this guitar listing. in what universe is this a white guitar

screenshot of a reverb listing for a Levinson Blade. the listing describes the guitar as "white, 90s MIJ"). the guitar & strap are visibly blue. blue like the sky or the ocean, or a robin's egg. blue like turquoise pebble you saw when you were small and wondered if rocks were magic. blue like the feeling just before becoming awake, the blue drift through the place that leads you to the waking life to which you must return, again and again, until you don't. it's a blue guitar. there's really nothing more to say

viral poster for legendary ska band the Historic Pavers

A sign that says, "Caution. Historic Pavers. Please watch your step." There's a stick figure guy tripping over a paving stone that's sticking out of the ground. The joke is that he kind of looks like he's skanking.

Meanwhile, many of the women harmed had their careers and aspirations derailed. But it's supposedly unfair for him not to be given a second chance.

I am deeply disappointed in Image for choosing to publish new comics from Ellis without him doing that work, when he previously abused his position as a popular comics writer to do what he did.

With the conversations happening here today, I'm thinking about how Ellis gets to have a "second chance" without doing any of the work to change or even meaningfully apologise to the scores of women he harmed and manipulated. All he had to do was wait a while.

I decided I'm going to start a thread of things I love to add to now and then, just because. Music, art, games, whatever. First up: the viscacha, a rodent native to South America. They like to sit on rocks and warm themselves in the sun, which I can greatly emphasise with

A viscacha, which kind of looks like a spherical rabbit with brown and grey fur, sits on a rock and looks very chill.

The best case scenario in every situation is "Trump gives up." Like Iran. Would Iran then control the Strait of Hormuz? Likely, and that's very bad! But Trump's involvement always makes things worse. Giving up now beats giving up in a few months after publicly exhausting our missile defenses.

I used to have to investigate crap that happened in a very heavily unionized industrial setting. I wasn't management at the time. I was management's tool, but I was investigating very real, nasty shit. Employees would often bring union reps to their interviews and I LOVED it. I welcomed it.

A recurrent theme in this excellent story about China’s progress is that people there regard Trump as essential to their success, including his ability to drive scientific talent from the US www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

In Beijing, a think tank at Renmin University recently published an assessment titled
"Thank Trump," which wryly hailed his efforts to hasten the "twilight of an empire," by undermining America's alliances, civil service, scientific institutions, and democratic credibility. In the past two years, the international approval rating of the U.S. has dropped nearly forty points, according to a worldwide survey by the Alliance of Democracies; in multiple polls, China now rates higher than the U.S.
