I was completely unprepared for the threat posed by the Antifa super soldiers.

My theory is that there's a huge market for rebranding conservatism as centrism (or heyerodoxy or whatever), because there are a lot of people who politically or culturally conservative, but who are put off by a lot of the aesthetics of the modern conservative movement.

Once the base layer dried, I started stippling increasingly bright shades of green with big, soft makeup brushes.

I keep twisting and turning the brush to get random shapes. I'm focusing the light towards the middle of each panel.

I'll start refining after a couple more layers.

If you’ll be at #TwitchConNA come to our panel on burnout & what comes next.

Both Bari and MattY quit their jobs and pretended they were fired so they could promote their substacks. Neither have ever been cancelled or interesting

It sets me on edge so immediately, and I don’t even know where to start explaining it to people who do it, because how could you do it?

I am finding a lot of relatable things in Novellie’s _Why Can’t I Just Enjoy Things_ , but oh how my whole body tried twisting away from my own ears when he narrated the experience of people eating by biting metal utensils.

Me: I've a particular set of skills, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

If 2% of your country is prosecuting a war, you are in a war.

the best answer i got for this:

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

I recognise him first as Admiral Croft from Persuasion (1995), personally.

Literally all I have wanted with that argument (which, coincidentally is just a narrative version of decades of feminist economic scholarship) is that our macroeconomic data hides a lot of friction, that friction is not equally experienced, & tech economy fundamentals have exasperated that gap.

And for those who will inevitably say I'm telling people to comply with the regime or not to resist, I would respond by saying that the organizers of the Underground Railroad did not put the specifics of their identities and locations in every paper in the country and mail a copy to Robert E. Lee.

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

The GRA was passed in 2015 with very little fanfare following years of courageous campaigning by trans people. We have yet to see any negative ramifications in society - and we won't.

We simply *cannot* have a President of Ireland who speaks about trans women or their human rights in this way.

Exactly! It made perfect sense in my head.
