youtu.be/lYCy3Rq8F-Y I really try not to be that type of film YouTuber who spends nearly a whole episode raging, but sometimes you get a movie like this that just really pisses you off on a primal level.

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

Masking at conventions makes so much sense I don't know why we don't all do it. The chances of getting get sick at a con are so high we have a cute little name for it: "con crud." That its easy to get COVID at cons should come as no surprise. Why would you not want to protect yourself and others?

Not even News Nation is buying Mike Johnson's insincere bullshit.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Since I seem historically bad at this, maybe I should ask, what do you think my art is worth? Note this is not including specific stuff like comics, thumbnails, character sprites etc. Just regular art.
Painting I made a bit back, recreating a public domain photo of a couple. In the original the couple are wearing floral shirts, though mine is a bit abstracted. The lady is wearing a straw hat and a lacy crop top. Another Public Domain photo recreation painting.

A lady in a yellow pollo shirt Three ATLUS characters: The Nahobino from Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, The Demifiend from Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne and Raidou Kuzunoha and Goto from the Devil Summoner games. An oldie but a goodie. A drawing based on a lego minfig of a lady with bright pink hair holding a white electric guitar with a bright pink lightning bolt decoration on the guitar, and on her face.

I can't stress this enough: opposing birth control isn’t a fringe position in the anti-abortion movement—it’s the norm. 'Mainstream' groups like Students for Life say so explicitly on their websites!

But because mainstream outlets don't report on it, most Americans don't know

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

"The hate crimes figures...recorded falls in hate crime in three other groups including sexual orientation (down 2%), disability (down 8%) and transgender (down 11%.)"... They went down because they don't record them correctly as hate crimes.

This is likely a *direct* result of the Labours attacks on trans healthcare.

Streeting should be sacked, and both he and Cass should face criminal proceedings for manslaughter at a minimum.

There is no separating the work from the artist.
So you have to decide: do you support trans people, or is your HP ‘fix’ too great to give it up.
It’s one or the other, you can’t do both.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

It is true you can't trust Israel or the US but you should probably be aware the ceasefire doesn't begin until Saturday or Sunday and Israel has a long history of intensifying bombardment until the official starting point of a ceasefire.

RIP actor & Chicago native Ron Dean.

He interrogated Dr. Richard Kimble in THE FUGITIVE, he dropped Andy off at detention in THE BREAKFAST CLUB, he was shot by Harvey Dent in THE DARK KNIGHT, he was Marty Crane's poker buddy on FRASIER, and so much more.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

These are beliefs.

Please stop defending them as universal truths.

* That humans are strictly male or female with no overlap

* That gender is derived from ‘sex’ alone

* That sex is defined by just one biological indicator

* That sex cannot be changed

Ever wondered how you would've reacted to the rising tide of fascism back in 1930s?

I believe you now have your answer, and I'm willing to bet it isn't nearly as heroic as you once thought.

Annals in sane-washing. When I checked NYT, WSJ, Politico, and WaPo for a story abt how Trump invited PizzaGate guy to the White House and declared an end to the First Amendment, this single story that mentioned it was on top of WaPo. Now it's buried.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
A story headlined, Trump builds case for deploying National Guard to Chicago, Portland The president said he would pursue designating antifa a "foreign terrorist organization" and called for Democratic officials in Chicago to be jailed. President Donald Trump on Wednesday looked to bolster his public case for deploying the National Guard to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, cities where he claims Democrat politicians have failed to protect journalists and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from people whom he sees as left-wing domestic terrorists.

Trump said during a televised meeting at the White House that he would pursue designating antifa as a “foreign terrorist organization” — a label that would allow for key financial and legal penalties because foreign entities are not protected by the First Amendment. Proponents of antifa — a political protest movement composed of unaffiliated groups — militantly oppose fascism, right-wing ideologies and are often anti-capitalist or anti-state.

Trump also repeated a call he had made earlier in the day for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, to be jailed, accusing them without evidence of “failing to protect” ICE officers who have been sent to the city.

His statements and other remarks given by top aides during a 2½-hour event laid out a legal and moral case for the administration’s push to send National Guard troops into U.S. cities. Designated foreign terrorist groups can face financial sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department. The Justice Department can prosecute supporters under enhanced charges of providing “material support” to a terrorist group.
