the real fantasy of #Peacemaker is the dream of getting adult friends who don't listen to your music to give it a chance and listen to your music with you.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”
Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Happy 75th, Peanuts. It's amazing to look at that first strip and realize the heart of the work is already there.
1st panel: A boy and a girl are sitting on a curb. The boy sees a figure approaching and says "Well! Here comes ol' Charlie Brown!" 
2nd panel: "Charlie Brown walks by and the boy says, " Good ol' Charlie Brown... yes, sir!"
3rd panel: Charlie has left the frame, and the curb sitters eyes follow his direction. The boy says, " Good ol' Charlie Brown..."
4th panel: The boy, now with a line over his eyes like a furrowed brow, says, "How I hate him!"

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports
Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

This was posted on the MÖRK BORG subreddit and it made me very happy. About how MB, some metal tapes and monopoly dice helped a guy get clean. Another commenter mentioned running JAIL BORG from memory. Things like this make me all warm inside.

For decades, Stan Lee was the king of comic conventions. Now, nearly seven years after his death at the age of 95, he will once again be a presence at L.A. Comic Con, this time as a hologram that will use AI to have conversations with fans.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there
This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s: One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the Gawker comments section, way back in the day. But as progressive movements swept through social media, others were tossed off Twitter and Facebook for stepping over a variety of lines, from allegations of harassment to claims of election misinformation. Pandemic era public health rules and fevered enforcement cost others their accounts.

When teenage Clark Kent (as Superboy) would travel to the 30th century to visit his pals in the Legion of Super-Heroes the Legion members pretended to be monogamous and heterosexual, knowing Superboy might be disturbed to learn that the team was really a complex mix of interlocking queer polycules.
