Given that anyone with a brain ought to recognise how many “national dishes” were impossible pre-Columbian Exchange, it’s nice to finally see pushback on the inherently ethnonationalist/racist claim that some cultures have “authentic dishes” and other “parasitic” cultures only “steal” them

If you’re in New York go to the NY Public Library and check out ¡Wepa! Puerto Ricans in the World of Comics. Some of mine and Carla’s comics are in display. The entrance is my María cover in the arch and a panel from Paracosm behind the logo.

Word to the wise: do not fly internationally into Logan. All of the major public detainments of Legal Residents and Citizens at airports have been out of Logan.

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

That’s probably theatrical, but they don’t differ significantly in length.

It’s worth checking out the alternate endings on YouTube afterwards

If the Palisades Fire suspect goes to trial, he’ll be one of the first people in the U.S. to have his ChatGPT history used against him in a criminal prosecution. I spoke to tech and legal experts about the future of digital evidence:
