In rather good news today: the Pentagon press corps near-unanimously gave the middle finger to Trump and Hegseth.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

Stop saying she was tortured. You are the only one saying it. She was mistreated and abused. That does not meet the legal definition. Just stop spreading lies

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

Malachite tries, bless him lol.
(Mal belongs to @absoluterubbish.bsky.social 💜)

You'll see more of these two in our upcoming comic!😈

#OC #Comic

Two panel comic from top to bottom: Malachite the male dragon nymph ghoul is standing next to the old, female lemur detective Bosley who is having a smoke. He is wearing grey plain shirt and trousers and his sage green wings are folded next to his shoulders. Malachite got shoulder long hair in brown and white, small horns and dark eyes with ice blue center. Bosley is wearing a dark coat and her white ear fluff is tufted and wild as always, and she got a tired expression. Malachite says: "I'm learning to do small talk to put people at ease", while standing straight up and down, towering over Bosley. Next and final image he continues: "Would you rather be taxidermied or be a wet specimen- wait don't leave." Bosley is seen walking out of the picture, a trail of cigarette smoke after her.

Honestly, I'm really proud of that D7 guitar. 🤘🏻

star trek lower decks fan art illustration of Mariner holding a bass guitar in the shape of a Klingon Battlecruiser. on the guitar the words say "this machine kills petaqs." which is a Klingon riff off of Woody Guthrie's guitar which had "this machine kills fascists" written on it. this is the black and white version.

A half body colored sketch of an exhausted but smiling ferret, eyes closed and hair mussed, holding a mug of coffee bigger than his head.

A half body colored sketch of that same exhausted ferret, glaring at the viewer through a squint, looking deeply annoyed while still holding that massive coffee mug.

A half body colored sketch of an anthro ferret looking very attentive, writing with furious speed in a notepad; smoke is rising from the pad as he writes, pencil a blur.

A half body colored sketch of an anthro ferret, pencil pressed to pad but no longer moving. He still has an attentive expression, but is asking “Dawg what” to whoever he was listening to.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

When learning something, one of the most important resources is a person who will tell you "no, you are wrong, you are not making sense, what you are saying is meaningless," to keep you from going further and further wrong without knowing it.

Chatgpt tells you what you want to hear.

Chatgpt won't. It'll mindlessly regurgitate an answer-shaped object statistically similar to what the user entered, assembled from a vast ocean of stolen words.

The user can spin out endlessly, totally unmoored, with zero clue.

Even the worst human teacher or author would be better.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.
