This cartoon about gay traumatized child soldiers killing God is extremely right-wing shut up

Surprise, surprise: countries that have suffered under dictatorships don't think playing dictator is cute and edgy. In Spain you can't bray about loving Franco and then whine "so much for the tolerant left" to get out of your richly deserved ass-beating.

(people do things)
"FUCK YOU, THOSE ARE THE WRONG THINGS"

...is quickly becoming my least favorite discourse.

Why don't you draw some more phallic symbols in there J.C., I'm not sure everyone has an Arrow collar and a boner yet

Two handsome men, one smoking a pipe, the other hefting a golf club. Their Arrow collars are immaculate.

I know this because before we were supposed to be panicking about inflation (which always sucks but had not changed significantly) we were supposed to be panicking about the trade deficit (which was not a problem but "deficit" sounds bad)

I'm terminally online and I have no idea what the hell any of this is. I don't even know why they're using the Subway sandwich font, I don't want to know, I'm out. Good luck explaining this to my Boomer dad who hates everything

These guys are invariably anime nerds and yet have not absorbed the basic anime thesis that every story can be improved by making all the characters cute girls

BREAKING: Burger King workers are on strike in Oakland due to pregnancy discrimination.

The store cut our coworker’s hours because she is pregnant and asked for accommodations to ensure a safe pregnancy. 🧵

The guest list for your show's big debut should contain few to no names that make me say out loud, "They're not dead?"

Cut to him saying that after talking to her, he immediately realized she was the next Edison Jesus Einstein and of course he signed off on it.

I don't understand this skill but it really works. 2/2

There's an amazing bit in one of the Theranos docs where Holmes's thesis advisor, an older woman, wouldn't sign off on her thesis because Holmes clearly didn't know what she was doing. So Holmes went to another professor, an older man. 1/2

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Not a documentary, but Downfall is a real feel-good movie these days. Just three hours of Nazis finding out. You only feel bad for the kids and Hitler's dog who clearly doesn't want to be there.

I got my best grade for the paper on the movie I only watched half of (8 1/2, I saw 4 1/4) because I left to catch a talk by Calvin Trillan.

I was a wild woman.

I had a film class at 8:00 AM the morning after the weekly screening of film class movies, which meant watching the movie, hurrying back to my dorm, dashing off a response paper, and optional sleep. I got so damn good at writing under the wire.

Imagine the hellworld where a pregnant woman could get medical treatment and an immigrant could ALSO get medical treatment

They could even be the same person
