Why does his tail go through his shirt?

WHY does his tail go THROUGH his shirt‽

So much progress in anthro fashion thrown away 😫

Even doing absolutely nothing else is better.
A four-panel comic by Vsemily (@sitandsai). In the first panel, a trans person is minding their own business being happy, declaring, “I *love* being trans.” In the second panel, they are set upon by a fiendish villain, who challenges them, “You! Justify your happiness to me!” In the third panel, the villain persists, “Debate me no-” but they are interrupted by our trans hero with a polite but firm, “No, thank you!” as frickin’ laser beams shoot forth from their eyes and cause the villain’s head to explode most satisfyingly. In the final panel, the trans person carries on their merry way, while the villain is left to smoulder.

Gee, I wonder how this could have happened...
Clip from reporting by CNBC: "Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Tuesday said that as much as 30% of the company’s code is now written by artificial intelligence. “I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,” Nadella said during a conversation before a live audience with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg."

They couldn’t even convince a Trump stooge that it was legit…

📰 Texas Tribune
Screenshot of a paragraph from a Texas Tribune report on the overturning of Texas’ gerrymandered map, highlighting that the opinion was written by a Trump-appointed judge: ““The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics,” U.S. Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote in the ruling striking down the new lines. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map.””

It’s gonna be hilarious when they’re racing to cash out again…
A two panel meme. In the top panel, a man reacts joyously to the headline, “SoftBank sells its entire stake in Nvidia for $5.83 billion.” In the bottom panel, that same man is visibly bothered by the article text that SoftBank is investing $22.5 billion in OpenAI.

Oh hey, I’ve seen this one before…
Skeet from Unusual Whales: “BREAKING: OpenAI is requesting US government support to help guarantee financing for the massive investments in AI chips and data centers it needs for expansion, per Bloomberg.” Skeet from Unusual Whales: “BREAKING: Deutsche Bank is exploring ways to hedge its exposure to data centers, per Bloomber[g]. “It’s looking at options including shorting a basket of AI-related stocks and buying default protection via synthetic risk transfers.” Steve Carell as Mark Baum in “The Big Short” realising that the reason Wall Street was being reckless with America’s housing market and financial system was because they knew the government would save them while millions of ordinary people paid—literally and figuratively.

It’s Declaration of Independence posting hours. #NoKings
Text of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, **Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it**, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that **Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes**; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. **But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.**”

It's such a mystery!
Two panel meme. On the top, a goose stares warily at an off-panel ne'er-do-well asking, "Why are tensions rising?" On the bottom, the goose is giving chase to the fiend, asking, "WHY ARE TENSIONS RISING, MOTHERFUCKER?!"

Reminder in the face of legacy media's wilful ignorance that the core of fascism is the union of capitalism and authoritarianism to protect and enrich the elite.

That's why Mussolini called it "corporatism" and Hitler sidelined/murdered all the socialists when and after he took over the Nazi Party.
Screenshot of a passage from NPR article, "Trump is tightening the screws on corporate America — and CEOs are staying mum," that reads: On Monday, a columnist for The Wall Street Journal warned that Trump is "imitating [the] Chinese Communist Party" and transforming the U.S. economy into something resembling China's government-controlled "state capitalism." It's a mounting worry shared by other business experts. "It is a huge concern," said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a Yale University management professor who regularly speaks with CEOs. "This 'Marxist MAGA' movement keeps expanding more and more, taking control without the resistance of private-sector decision-making," he added. "So that means we have winners and losers based on cronyism."

I feel like this actually describes every Alt-Right/Nazi influencer...
Screenshot of a passage from "Who Goes Nazi?" by Dorothy Thompson, published August 1941, which reads: "I think young D over there is the only born Nazi in the room. Young D is the spoiled only son of a doting mother. He has never been crossed in his life. He spends his time at the game of seeing what he can get away with. He is constantly arrested for speeding and his mother pays the fines. He has been ruthless toward two wives and his mother pays the alimony. His life is spent in sensation-seeking and theatricality. He is utterly inconsiderate of everybody. He is very good-looking, in a vacuous, cavalier way, and inordinately vain. He would certainly fancy himself in a uniform that gave him a chance to swagger and lord it over others."

This was the first piece I commissioned of Pyke, and one that I think remains among the best at capturing his general vibe.

Sadly, none of my previous sonas ever got art :(
