I've never understood some men's obsession with having children (especially male children) as a form of leaving a legacy. Especially since those same men rarely want to help raise those kids. An individual person isn't a monument to your DNA. You didn't actually accomplish anything but reproduce.

At a time when billionaires would be all too happy to replace artists with AI slop, I think it's important to celebrate artists like Drew Struzan.

If you've seen a movie poster in the past 30+ years, you've seen something he did. A true master of the craft.

She tried to be edgy.

Chloe walking mysteriously in a heavy wind while wearing a torn cloak looking edgy. However, the strong wind pushed the cloak into her face, ending her short lived edgy phase.

Art trade for The rabbit follower’s OC, Ryoku

She’s a green mint color ghost in a traditional green outfit, she’s winking at the viewer while sticking her tongue out and making a silly ghost pose.

She’s surrounded by cherry blossoms in a solid green background with some white and dark green shapes

Princess Peach, Daisy and Rosalina from Mario Kart World

All girls are standing next to each other as if they were taking a photo together in a sky blue party like background with orange, pink and cyan confetti surrounded them. Daisy o the left is winking at the viewer with her tongue sticking out while doing the peace sign, Peach in the middle has both eyes closed while making a heart with her hands at the viewer and Rosalina on the right is looking at the viewer while having both her hands gracefully together

Artwork of my original character Poppy swinging on a rose swing in a rose outfit created by lalamlou.bsky.social as a gift for me, there’s many colors of pink, red, purple, white and purple

Adelita Grijalva won her Congressional race fair and square THREE WEEKS ago.

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat her is an absolute disgrace.

Seat her now. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Who is Adelita Grijalva and why hasn't she been sworn in to Congress yet?

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

NPR and PBS posting puff pieces and still losing their federal funding should have taught the other media outlets about the futility of bootlicking but alas

When you close yourself off from everything because it's all "woke" and "DEI", and that you favor authoritarian uniformity... You become flavorless, and your lack of any real love and actual happiness also shows.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people.

It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people.

Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people.
