Hey what does a journalist do at work? I definitely know. I’m just asking to make sure you know.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 14h

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

For reasons undetectable by modern science I really like X-23. Any clone of a male character who is now a girl, really. Who can say why?

Also Gabby is a fun and silly foil for both Laura and Logan. LOVE HER 2 BITS.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

People are confusing their own tedious self-importance with effectiveness.

The animal costumes are a genius move. It should be adopted by every protest.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Takahashi-sensei and particularly Ranma 1/2 is maybe the single greatest influence on my art. The comedy, the cheeky sexiness, the physicality and absurdity is something I try to carry with me every day in my work. Also it goes without saying it made me gay and trans
