Fan of fantasy, sci-fi, critters, and spec-fic critters. I follow you if you're interesting, or friendly, or you helped me beat up a Nazi in one of BlueSky's dark alleys.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

To be clear: the new, near-exclusive emphasis on natural causes of climate change on the U.S. EPA's website is now completely out of synch with all available evidence demonstrating overwhelming human influence on contemporary warming trends.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate so the people who built Colorado can take back control of our healthcare, our homes, and our futures.
Working people built Colorado, we deserve a government that finally works for us.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Can we talk about Steve Bannon helping Jeffrey Epstein behind the scenes a fraction as much as we talked about Hunter Biden's corruption?

Countries are now joining forces to tax extreme wealth, private jets and polluting companies.

Today, I ended up drawing fun art just for myself. I *wanted* to draw a page, but I've found that being 11 months ahead on Patreon very occasionally makes drawing a new installment unsatisfying. Still, I do have grand designs for this thing, and it ain't gonna create itself, is it?

What is next for MAGA?
I wrote about the MAGA civil war, the dynamics shaping this ugly struggle for supremacy on the Right, what Trumpism without Trump might look like, and why MAGA is likely to emerge more ideological and more radical.
