So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.
Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

A redraw of the very first comic of Reuben and Afon.
Afon has undergone careful instruction prior to his current situation. Reuben kind of already knew those weren't EYES, in the sense Afon didn't use them to see, but he didn't know they were... like that.

I can’t hit on “he shouldn’t be considered a candidate” harder than this, but I will add that he’s done less than nothing for the houseless community, actively made it worse for middle/poverty level families, and the reason why the dems will still put him up is because he protects the richer classes
USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair.
USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries.
They are giving you actionable information.

Important for people to realize that like 30% of all the bad stuff in society is already explicitly illegal it's just not enforced.
Three delivery apps, including UberEats, will pay NYC delivery workers $4.6 million after they violated the city's minimum pay law.
The Mamdani admin will announce the settlement today, which comes after enforcement action taken by the city.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Twin Cities rapid responders have set up a "filter blockade" at 34th and Cedar and are calling for volunteers and donations. This is a new tactic developing over the last week: community is allowed to pass, but ICE agents are stopped/slowed before they can terrorize our neighbors.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

I cannot stress to people how much this actually matters. Authoritarian regimes largely exist in formerly democratic societies when they have convinced people to hand over power to resolve “unsolvable problems” that the democracy “failed” to do; their continued existence is dependent on this.
authoritarian regimes are actually more sensitive to public opinion than democratic ones because they do not have a reliable mechanism to reset their legitimacy (ie actual elections)!
How is it that so many people think that authoritarianism is a way to bypass completely public opinion?
