I know you folks likely hear this about a lot of comics and other works but
You should read this comic.
It starts with a woman stealing her brother's ship and identity to study sea sponge :3 And then somehow the possible end of the world gets involved.
It's also super queer???????????????

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

i don't think the U.S. political class ever had any intention of taking climate shit seriously. it was a delaying tactic until they felt like they could get away with simply ignoring it. our entire government is made of people who just want to loot the public coffers and run.
I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Chicago needs to remember every one of these alders, and support people who rise to challenge them next year.
Reminder that just this year Alds. Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares introduced an ordinance to rollback protections to once again allow CPD to work with ICE if they claimed it was related to any gang, drug, or prostitution activity. Nine other alders supported it.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

My greatest worry with dismissing Musk et al as misunderstanding the source material is that it ignores the actual connections and parallels between DnD's construction of race and the history of race science. They are not inventing racism where there is none, they can see the game for what it is.

The idea that the US was not a co belligerent in the war on Gaza more or less requires that you just ignore the evidence as it exists
The United States expended 25% of its entire missile defense capacity to prevent Israel from facing consequences for its war of aggression against Iran! The US Navy pushed maintenance schedules back years to kill Yemenis on behalf of Israel! They poured F/A-18s into the Red Sea for Israel!
I don't want to directly quote tweet but there are apparently still people who think the US is somehow only "indirectly" involved in the genocide in Gaza. We've spent probably $50+ billion to make sure it happens! American soldiers have killed and died making sure it continues!
