No, actually. We already are living with each other, including them. They're uncomfortable with some of us. THEY have to learn to live with US. If they won't, that is their problem.

When white supremacist bigots throw a tantrum because they've been forced to confront reality, there are always enablers who will say that the expression of reality is a controversy, or divisive. The implication is that we should change reality to suit the whims of the bigots. Absolutely not.

I'm working on a short story called The Last Days of Evil House about the punk house from Incredible Doom. It follows the house through different time periods - years before and after we've seen it in the books. I'm excited to finally be drawing comics again after way too long.

This is MAGA ideological imperialism.
It's disguised as a "free speech" crusade. In reality, the Trump admin seeks to coerce Europe into deregulating digital environments to enable unimpeded extremist content that radicalises voters into supporting far-right populists.

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords
yeah Bluesky is primarily a Tumblric language

If you are baffled by why the jury refused to convict the Palestine Action defendants, it's because – unlike them – you didn't hear the actual evidence. You heard what the media wanted you to know.
