BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

Like, it's one thing to buy Furry Adjacent stuff, like Big Dog clothing with questionable text, but yeah, this is just gross.

So JKR not only wasn't homeless, ever, but that 'delapidated flat' (it was a studio and she felt like she was too good for it) was roach invested and gross because she didn't do house work for four years, by her own admission. 🤢

Best analysis of Tron: Ares I've seen, and its from my comment section.

A comment from Jessie's review of Tron: Ares - "TRON is a movie about unionizing your workplace. TRON: Legacy is movie about the tools of fascism. TRON: Ares is a movie about... how hard it is to be tech billionaire running a Fortune 500 company, I guess."

Folks, don't buy this garbage. Don't let anyone drag furry into the mainstream. It's ours. Support real furry artists making fun, original stuff for you. Don't let mass marketed AI-generated garbage find a foothold in our lovingly curated weirdness.

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀

i think it was will neff who was suggesting that we start calling billionaires "pharaohs" because since it breaks peoples brains how much money and power they wield, "pharaohs" would be a quick way to understand how powerful and reality-shaping their influence is.

and i couldn't agree more.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

TL;DR: the very same people that argue that conservative provocateurs like Kirk deserve platforms at colleges are now running out the academics, because it was never actually about “free speech” or the “exchange of ideas”.

Lauren MacIvor Thompson @lmacthompson1.bsky.social · 17h

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

With Applefest over, and pickles secured, this seemed like the appropriate strip to run from a few years past. And yes, the year I drew this, while I was hunting for pickles, this some WAS playing. It seemed... so appropriate. Lol
