For another thing, it's a fearful loser slogan. It's an extension of 35-40 years of loser Democratic politics in which all they care about is not being called commies by Republicans. Guess what: they're gonna call you commies anyway, so maybe fucking stand for something.

Messy isn't always bad!
Like I said in my comment to you yesterday, I got the writing done and started the drawing of my first comic thanks to your Comics School! The thing that tripped me up the most at first was feeling it shouldn’t look messy. Now it’s that my hands don’t work because of PsA. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Free (horrible idea) for a jingle, Adidas – just drove past headquarters and this crashed into my head directly from 1981. “Adidaaaas Adidaaaas Adidaaaas Adidaaa-as!”

Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days
This is the second largest payout from a private university to the Trump admin yet, second only to Columbia’s $200m

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

An old client of mine tricked me into recommending a Portland brewery for one of his “friends in Portland”, who turned out to be me. 😍

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

I don't think that the internet was ever filled to the brim with only useful, verifiable info, but it was at one time a vast repository of knowledge. AI articles cannibalizing the web is the opposite of knowledge collection. It takes what once was knowledge and refracts it into something useless.
the internet is now a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy and so on

little-known fact outside the beltway but this past year The Handbasket has become THE outlet read by (and leaked to by) civil servants who have something to say, please kick some $ or get a subscription if you haven't already
today instead of buying barely discounted crap, get a paid subscription to an independent media outlet! a little $ goes a long way towards supporting a free press. 🗞️

drop links to your own or your faves in the replies so ppl can easily sign up (bonus if you add a couple words about why it’s good!):

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?
