Portland protestor frog costume: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge pepper balls?

Morpheus from Matrix movie: No, Frog. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

I think this is the best meme ever made personally. So good I have it saved in my phone 4 times.

Panel 1:
Frog- mom can you give me money to go to college
Panel 2:
Mom- to get more knowledge?
Panel 3:
Frog- yeeees.
Panel 4:
Text - actually goes to Jupiter like a boss (the frog is pictured headed to Jupiter)
Panel 5:
Text- Stupider time.

The President Threw a Coup by Hyejeon Jeon (Greenfield)
£4.00

A friendly neighbourhood comic artist’s life is turned upside down when the president decides to declare a martial law.

The President Threw a Coup is a very personal recollection of the three-hour martial law in South Korea that took place on December 3, 2024.

25 black and white pages (page numbers refer to comic pages only and do not include covers or extras).

President Yoon declares martial law.

"We will eradicate the anti-governemtn power and normalize the country."

Character: Is this for real?
In 2024?

South Korea suffered under multiple dictatorships in the 20th century. But by the time I was born, it was all over. It was something that my parent's generation remembered something that shouldn't be forgotten, but over nonetheless,

Yet here we were, I knew the shit was real when I saw the videos of soldiers trying to break into the National Assembly.

Everything felt surreal. The helicopters, the fully armed soldiers...

31 black and white pages. This pdf includes both English and Korean editions of the comic; each edition is 31 pages (62 pages in total). Page numbers refer to comic pages only and do not include covers or extras.

As an attempt to eliminate gurrilla forces at the time, allied troops-including U.S. and South Korean forces-relocated civilians into concentrated villages known as strategic hamlets. They conducted search-and-destroy operations under the principle that "anything that moves is considered an enemy," designating all regions outside those zones as hostile However, despite the fact that the villages of Phong Nhi and Phong Nhut had been classified as "safe zones" by the American military, around 11 a.m. on February 12, 1968, Soy Korea's Blue Dragon Unit 1 carried out a massacre in which approximately 70 civilians were murdered.

Surviving villagers testified that South Korean soldiers stormed in, killing anyone on sight and setting houses on fire.

Character off screen: Yeah, but still...

drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.

The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.

This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

maybe i’m naive as hell but if Marvel Cooke can see the thru line from slavery to day labor, why does it feel taboo to acknowledge today?

polly @pollyguo.bsky.social · 3d

in this literary journo book i’m reading, there’s an excerpt from Marvel Cooke’s “The Bronx Slave Market” that describes her experience getting day laborer work (the “slave market” in question) and gdi i’m gonna try and never let any hos convince me the struggles aren’t all intertwined again

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
