Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
Important thread I’ll admit i was unaware of the scope of what they have been doing It’s enormous
Catherine Rampell@crampell.bsky.social · 2y agoA new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.
Mel Blanc screams are like Greek fire, we lost the technology to make sounds like this
@jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social Other than comics and books, is there anything else you enjoy, Jeff? I’m hugely into watches, silent films, retro video games, emulators and older tech from the 1930s–2000s, and old TV shows. I even geeked out over a old Tandy PC and a Centipede arcade machine lol 😂
Flock is trying to recruit ARTISTS on job recruiting sites. I saw this while helping an artist friend look for part-time jobs and nearly vomited. “Visual storytelling” — What in the Leni Riefenstahl is this shit?
Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

Toss@stevenspoints.bsky.social · last mo.I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Dolly Parton and Tim Curry died on the same day. Both inspired, brought joy, brought communities together. I'm genuinely so upset. May they both rest in peace.
Tim Curry has a number of amazing performances (Congo, anyone?) but this here's a favorite.
Tim Curry is escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism.

been trying to figure out what it is people want youth to Do with every activity and space being taken from them, internet starting to be walled off, but adults not liking them at home either and i think the unstated desire is "some kind of constantly running summer camp, but one we don't pay for"

This is amazing news. I still think we should brand everybody who ever worked there with a cattle iron but it’s gone.

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

I haven’t seen *any* coverage of this and worry people have just become numb (or are too distracted by the World Cup, Knicks, etc.)

Another old painting from the archives. This watercolour dates from around 1964 when I was still at school and I don't remember the location. I might have just made it up. This is a survival from a heap of artwork from when I was a child but most of them disappeared. Glad to have one or two left!
see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
