i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose

Our food is still better and nothing can ever take that away.

“In his Instagram post, Encina thanked Gomez, the Getty photographer, whose presence on the train he said was ‘quietly reassuring.’ In the interview, he said seeing a photographer there gave him some comfort because someone was documenting what was happening.”

I think it looks more like Bernie, Warren, et al. lost a checkers game to a toddler

Seriously. If you've ever spent any time in the left, you've met a Graham Platner

No one remembers this anymore I guess but there was an entire movement of women staffers from the Bernie 2016 campaign who organized on the eve of the 2020 campaign to beg Bernie to take a proactive stance against the systemic sexual misconduct they'd experienced on the 2016 campaign

Going forward, Nazi tattoos are a dealbreaker. Right? Right?!

Just saw a photo of Sam Reid before he played Lestat, with short hair and normal people clothes. We need to immediately pass a law banning that man from cutting his hair or letting any straight man dress him. This is a matter of national security.

My favorite male physical comedians are probably always going to be Dick Van Dyke and David Hyde Pierce, in that order (unless i happen to be rewatching Frasier). But the more I see him in stuff the more convinced I am that Ryan Gosling is my very solid #3 pick.

I love Diane Morgan, but now I love her even more. I wonder how that happened ;) Photos by Sane Seven. More here: www.instagram.com/saneseven/p/...

In 2012, California started adopting major progressive criminal justice reforms. Since then, the state has seen historic drops in crime, with homicide now at historic lows. Remember this when right-wing propagandists screech about crime in Democratic states. 🎁 www.sfchronicle.com/crime/articl...

Kind of remarkable that so much of the discourse is about the dangers of extremism in the Democratic Party.

who could possibly have seen this coming except for everyone who saw it coming

I don’t want to hear any BS from anybody saying “Platner was the liberals’ fault” or “he was the left’s fault.” I’ve been yelled at by plenty from across the lib/left spectrum for opposing Platner. There was widespread denial of the obvious asshattery of this man.

Really bummer that Trump got involved with Team USA at this year's World Cup. We all saw what happened to the Knicks. I'm afraid USMNT is not much longer for this tournament

If you want a list of the “liberal” or “left” folks who’ll MAGA or whatever its equivalent is within 3-4 years, keep an eye on who’s still backing Platner. It’s not about issues for them. It’s about domination, even when they lose.

This thread is shoe leather journalism

I will say again that I really need a list of everyone who supported Platner post Nazi tattoo because I probably had most of them muted but need to know so I can yell at them if I ever encounter them elsewhere in the future

All part of the current admin's erasure of essential US history: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

By the way, on any level, this is what you have to prepare for *any* time you are attempting to build community, political or otherwise. Trump is a special adept at this, but any successful project inevitably attracts attention/money grifters and you need to protect what you've built.

I mean Mexicans just make everything more interesting and fun.

Mission accomplished

Whoever Maine Dems choose to run now, it should be someone who can harness the youth energy and the desire for change that propelled Platner over Mills. Shenna Bellows and Troy Jackson are the clear candidates. Bellows has got the relative youth and fight needed.

And like, let me be clear WHO these folks are. They are for the most part white failsons (occasionally faildaughters) from privileged families who leveraged family connections to get microphones and platforms. They fetishize working class and falsely believe bigotry core to working class identity

I literally kept James awake last night because I was laughing in bed, thinking about this meme.

Europeans know FIFA is corrupt, but that corruption usually stays off the pitch. Dodgy sponsorship deals, ticket allocations, world cup hosting etc is one thing; corrupting the game itself is something else.

Video thread - the evacuation of the Great American State Fair on July 4 took well over an hour. A little after 6:30, they started to shut down the main stage. People largely stayed in their spots as the automated message announcing the fair was closing played on repeat.

There's long been a contingency of the left that is fine or worse on Nazi shit. Chapo Trap House amplified several of those voices via guest spots (hosts from Red Scare, Cumtown, TrueAnon). When Proud Boys first marched here, Philly DSA told its members to skip the counter demo.

Trump's entire thing is finding the bright spots where people have found a way to come together warmly, identifying a zone of grievance within it, and swooping in to ruin it all by amplifying the grievance and casting himself as savior. It's always more pathology than ideology

I will say once again with love that it does not take a particularly high level of character discernment to understand that a Nazi Tattoo Guy is bad news

No one in Antifa was backing Graham Platner lol, what

Platner is finished and needs to drop out immediately, while the race to beat Susan Collins can be saved. I wanted to believe his past, as bad as it was, didn't have to define his present. But it's clearly not even his past. This is just who he is. What an absolute disaster for the people of Maine.

Ugh my anxiety, truly putting the PANIC in Hispanic.

Good reporting here. And all (most?) journalists know that when a reporter does the heavy lifting of exposing an instance such as this, there are almost definitely many more that won’t leak, that will occur where there aren’t journalists. This is likely a practice, not an extraordinary exception.

I really fear for the collections, it would be entirely on-brand for the admin to sell off "woke" pieces and pocket the proceeds

It's a coherent preference because the working class famously includes neither women nor Black people

On this day in 2016, 32-year-old Philando Castile was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop for a broken taillight in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.

There can be no tolerance for sexual assault now that there is too much sexual assault for people to shrug off now

IT'S UP! An article about the rain-soaked disaster that was July 4th in Washington DC this year, including all the videos I couldn't upload of the sad and angry crowds, plus details that didn['t make the thread. Please check it out if you would like to!

"Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps where everyone said solar made no sense, and the plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleys" www.ecoportal.net/en/switzerla...

Preserve it in amber, this is what 2026 is

No—the people “at fault for Platner” are, first, Platner, and second everyone who made excuses for Nazi tattoos, followed by those who made excuses for lying about Nazi tattoos.

It's even more embarrassing than a psy-op, these guys truly believed that the base craved a rape Nazi. As a treat

I think that Americans bush-lawyering the fifa rules they have just read for the first time will only make them more beloved among other nations

I agree with bluesky's warning label, quite right, I apologise for posting this filth and have covered up naughty bits.

Westerners go to Russia on special visas for anti-woke rightists, and are surprised to find out that living in a dictatorship isn’t all it’s cracked up to be (and, amusingly, are unhappy to realize that Russians are totally fine with abortion) www.bbc.com/news/article...

This might be even bigger news than the red card. Need a Trump angle? Same day he intervened in red card Trump admin announced end to decades of subsidies for solar & wind.

I really need to log off, I would love to live in a world where my nervous system wasn't constantly derailed by terrible men doing terrible things

I think I’d go with “long game mass murderers.”

The first editor of The Family, which was the first book about the org, said I needed to rewrite it with more “experts” on the group (there were none) presenting “both sides.” I told sr editor I’d withdraw manuscript & return the advance. She agreed & we threw out the other guy’s edit.

The media; "Today is Bikini day because it's the anniversary of the invention of the bikini in 1946!" The past; "You wot mate?" #NationalBikiniDay

The way to avoid this shitshow in the future: don't nominate candidates with Nazi tattoos. It really is that simple.

Lmfao, "schumer made me do it"? Fuck off to hell

All of us who went through all the stages of #metoo and the sexual assault accountability in politics blip, trying desperately to post our nervous systems back into regulation

Covering up fash stickers in Sydney. We've got a bunch of copies of these and numerous other designs. If you're interested in buying a mix pack of radical slaps, check out: radicalstickers.bigcartel.com

Platner has long been a red line too many crossed: just as we accept no “heritage” confederate flags, no Nazi shit you “didn’t know about.” They’re the same thing. If you fell for it in good faith, ask yourself why so you don’t get played again.

Idk I think sexual predators might just be over-represented among men generally

MAHA panel at the Great American State Fair has kicked off with a joke about the journalists (derogatory) in the crowd.

We are a deeply unserious nation

People who don't teach full course loads should shut the fuck up about teaching and workload. This is true K-12 and higher ed. I am sick to death of people who haven't done the job opining on the profession.

I have just fucking give up trying to guess when anything bottoms out because nothing makes sense anymore

I will say again that Warren showed her true character applauding Trump at the SOTU and this Platner stuff should be the last nail in the coffin for Cult of Warren

I will also say more broadly that WHATEVER your particular choice of political parasocialism, this is a good moment to repent. We only ever elect targets for organized pressure. Never saviors

it does look like we may be nearing the end of the short, strange saga of Graham Platner, politician Susan Collins may be the luckiest woman in politics rn

Integrity is all that matters.

ICE's transformation into Trump's personal secret police force is now complete. www.wired.com/story/ices-i...

The minute any kind of “influencer” or “coach” on social media uses fat-shaming to push “discipline” or equates obesity with “making excuses and having no goals” (as if a six pack is the only goal a human could possibly have) I block them. You can promote fitness without mocking overweight people.

It's a good night for the Will Stancils of this world to shut the fuck up

If you were wondering who is up at midnight washing child vomit out of an eight foot long stuffed boa constrictor. The answer is, me

Someone having a Nazi tattoo, & self-evidently lying about the Nazi tattoo, makes them someone who lies about Nazi tattoos. So if you can’t say no to that shit, the Proud Boys have a polo waiting for you.

Or does the therapy so he can learn the speak and then weaponize it against abuse targets

The thing about dudes like that: they never feel like fucking assholes. Even when their fucking assholism is demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt

Yup. I'd already lost all respect for Warren after she made a show of reaching across the aisle to Trump, to the point of applauding a shared policy point at the SOTU. But if I'd had any left, the Platner endorsement absolutely evaporated it.

Come on USA, and also fuck Donald Trump.

I also just wish that we had enough faith in one another to realize there are plenty of good people in every community who could run for office and serve the public. You don't need a rock star or a savior. No candidate or elected official, no matter how much we might like them, is irreplaceable.

Calley Means keeps making pointed remarks about journalists in the crowd who write about Bobby Kennedy. I don’t recognize anyone, but I guess someone here has really pissed Calley off. Kind of weird since there’s 29 people here, and a handful of them are related to another speaker.

Now what does he want??? (And don’t say “He just loves you” because that’s exactly what he WANTS you to think) #DailyChester

Maybe now we can also mention the endorsement for the white supremacist conspiracy theorist, the way he channeled Protocols of Elders of Zion, his silence in response to an explicit Nazi endorsement? Not because Platner was himself a Nazi; because he was, & is, a disingenuous opportunistic asshole.

Chuck Schumer has spent more than 20 years claiming the Founding Fathers called America "God's noble experiment." There's no evidence any of them ever said that. Why does he keep lying about it? www.friendlyatheist.com/p/chuck-schu...

This is the primary reason I've never seriously considered getting involved with DSA, incidentally. There are a lot of individuals in DSA I like, and a lot of local DSAs doing good work. But as long as nationally they have people like Brace Belden in leadership... hot nope.

Feeling pretty validated about the heavy skepticism we showed toward Graham Platner when we covered the state of his campaign last month. This one proved to be a little bit controversial with some of our listeners, but our reservations were instinctually correct. www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

It was a red fucking line too many crossed: no “heritage” confederate flags, no Nazi shit you “didn’t know about.” They’re the same damn thing. If you fell for it in good faith, ask yourself why and don’t get fooled again.

I know what I could have been if I'd stayed and stayed quiet. It just wasn't worth it.

Nine years ago today, tens of thousands of protesters faced off with over 31,000 police during the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. Despite relentless police violence, demonstrators drove them out of parts of Hamburg, creating liberated zones. We reported from the fray: crimethinc.com/hamburgg20

“Since 1776, the United States has received about 130 million immigrants—a legacy that the Founders fully expected and would have welcomed.” As a proud American immigrant, I absolutely adore this tremendous piece by @davidjbier.bsky.social and @cato.org.

Can't stop thinking about this Iron Age bathhouse. I kind of want to built it in my garden. And I hate saunas. Still want this. Its steamy. ciagalicia.com/proxectos/sa...

We've prepared a zine version of "Gays, Crazies, and Motherfuckers," exploring the crucial role that anarchists played in the Stonewall Uprising, the Gay Liberation Front, and the movements they inspired. You can order a copy—or download a PDF to print your own—here: crimethinc.com/zines/gays-c...

Hey, Senator history ignoramus. The founders created a secular government b/c they had seen the horrible devastation of Europe's internecine religious wars, in which Protestants & Catholics tortured (for the glory of god) enemy soldiers wounded on the battlefield by pulling out their intestines.

I don't forgive him enough for both of us

It’s probably better for everyone that I refrain from commenting on soccer. But it seems to me that if there is not a common red line drawn against this, it’s really game over in terms of fair play, trust, enjoyment etc. yes Trump and FIFA are corrupt but come on Team USA don’t spoil it for everyone

god grant me the self-awareness to know I am a piece of shit and the wisdom to never run for public office because of it

Trump has not ruined international football. FIFA has. For decades. Yes, the bluntness of Trump is mindblowing but this is FIFA business as usual. Not only in autocracies. Look at the massive corruption in how Germany became host of the 2006 World Cup. An event we still refer to as Sommermärchen.

Creationist Ken Ham is furious over coverage of Ark Encounter's 10th anniversary. One news outlet copied and pasted his press release. Another outlet interviewed a scientist and added context. Guess which one angered him? www.friendlyatheist.com/p/ken-ham-is...

As I say in my book, Bryan Johnson is DEFINITELY going to die.
