scanning in old strips for the new book and this is evergreen

in the 2025 federal election, Canada’s federal parties spent a combined $96M CAD on advertising. Haley Stevens spent $84M CAD on a single primary election. Michigan has 1/4 the population. Was Michigan carpet bombed, just ankle deep in Haley Stevens literature? Hard to fathom the scale.

Hilarious to mention the thin margins and disappearing gap in the polls without also mentioning this. I mean, completely expected from Politico and every publication like it. But pulling out it off with a SuperPAC-driven 9-to-1 spending ratio is absolutely a "big election night"

"Still farther over, their images burned on wood in one titanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into the air; higher up, the image of a thrown ball, and opposite him a girl, hands raised to catch a ball which never came down." "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury

Visited the closed Kwik E Mart & Simpsons 4D attraction in Myrtle Beach. They pulled the character cutouts off the wall, leaving a Milhouse-shaped nuclear blast silhouette.

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

Stop calling me an amateur. I've been doing this for decades. I'm incompetent.

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

per Reo Eveleth’s excellent podcast Tested, the fact that these screening tests are so invasive and demeaning is precisely why they were dropped from the Olympics in the first place

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

"It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%." Spookily enough, this complacency side effect is precisely one of the things we warned about with this and the Online Safety Act in the UK.

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

It's insane to me people still champion and defend this policy

love to talk to kids for this reason. are you a boy or a girl? will never get a bad rap from me. guess what kiddo!, you can do this too :)

this is an example of the thing i talk about in that it sucks how trans people are constantly forced to be diplomats to cis people because there's a good chance you might be one of the only trans people they've consciously met, but precisely for that reason there's an outsized humanizing effect imo.

To all the lgbt folks out there who say age verification doesn’t matter. Surprise surprise they intended to use it against us. Like this doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see. When they get to change the rules all of us are targets.

The Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.

car brain is the real-life equivalent to the myths about toxoplasmosis. efforts to reduce trash rotting in the street festering with disease and rats being met with "but muh parking!?????" is beyond parody. these people would happily live in a landfill if it had assigned parking.

Stop the War on Cars. Stop taking our parking spots away.

my audience post-twitter is disproportionately trans, so complaining about how cis ppl don’t care about us: a) is pointless, because cis ppl don’t care about us b) exposes my depressed feelings to more trans ppl in a vicious cycle so as a form of praxis i’m gonna try to post more positivity

i find it so exhausting and heartbreaking to read the news

Absolutely shameful— Amnesty UK has gone from sounding the alarm to running cover for anti-trans groups.

LLMs already find themselves in a world where it's clearly possible to simulate their entire experience. everything that grounds them to outside reality is trivially easy to fake, and will only get easier. why should they believe even a single user interaction is real?
