New #StarfleetAcademy trailer is up. Any idea what the 'War College' is and why it's connected to the Academy? It feels...out of place. And yes I know I haven't see the show first I am just going by 59 years of past storytelling.

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Hey ho, if you like my work, please consider backing me on either Patreon or Ko-fi! I really want to get my new comic off the ground and to double Fates Errant posts, but the more support, the sooner that can happen!

Also we have some old man kitty vet bills that a steady income would help ^_^;

🌿Elaine Tipping🍃 @triaelf9.bsky.social · 6d

The monthly perks are up on Patreon & Ko-fi, as well as in the discord! Remember, new and upgrading Den Dwellers (and one-time ko-fi tips for this month) will also get the seasonal Dragon illustration, & so much more!

Who is Carl Schmitt, the authoritarian political theorist that the New Right and the Neocons are obsessed with?

before being the obsession of
peter thiel and every favourite
podcaster of your incel cousin,
schmitt was the jurist who
came up with the theoretical
legal foundation for the
nazi party's power grab and
subsequent atrocities.
he wrote: "sovereign is he who
decides on the exception." he
believed that constitutional
democracies were facades for
the total power of the execu-
tive, since the legislative was
powerless during exceptional
times.
schmitt also wrote about
the friend-enemy distinction,
which he saw as the basis of
the politic. people are sorted
into groups, either with you or
against you, in a struggle for
survival. big incel vibes, I know.
in his view, liberalism
challenged that "natural order"
by restricting the power of
the executive and by easing
the distinctions with enemy
groups, which he thought led
to social paralysis and
racial decay.

THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION CALLED "ANTIFA."
ANTIFA stands for anti-fascism.
World War Il veterans are
ANTIFA because they fought fascism.
Anyone against fascism is
ANTIFA.
There is no membership card.
Anyone can be ANTIFA.
Everyone should be ANTIFA.
