Not only has Teenage Exocolonist kept me up this late (again), but I also just discovered I missed the Nomi plushie because I was too busy prepping backlog and/or streaming 1-2 weeks ago. (To add, the incredibly beautiful but bittersweet main theme is stuck in my head.)

We understand this correct? Project 2025 is not fringe on the right. It's just that everyone in the center and on the left doesn't pay attention to evangelicals cause y'all think they're funny and weird instead of wildly fucking dangerous. Project 2025 is dead serious and extremely popular.

Project 2025 is a creation of Evangelicals and it's the core mission of the evangelical right. It's what major evangelical organizations have been building towards for decades. It's not fringe. (I just fact checked a whole book a out this.)

100% this. It's incredibly easy for "here's this extra bit of nuance for onlookers to consider" to come across as "This is wrong *because* of this nuance" or "you haven't considered this" if you're not explicitly agreeing (especially with online discourse making confrontation equally or more likely)

Tapping again on the sign that says if you want to interject with commentary or elaboration on something you agree with, but let the agreement go without saying, you risk your reply being indistinguishable from an argument. "Yes, and." Doesn't have to be those words, but make your intentions clear.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Im the 80s, the magic word was "communist" in Korea and "satanic" in America. This latest batch of banners tried "woke" but it wasn't scary enough, so they switched to "porn." In every case, the word means "books with depictions of the types of people we don't want in society."

GooooOOOOD MORNING TURAL!

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

Okay so to be clear we are destroying power grids, the livelihoods of actual humans beings, and communication/research infrastructure for the sake of an algorithm that converts stolen data into unreliable stolen data and consistently loses millions of dollars. Just to be clear

Power goes out yesterday. "Well this'll set back my editing backlog a little bit and I'll have to do extra on Thursday to make sure I can maximize Dawntrail streamtime, but this is fine, right?" Wake up today, generator is running (but insufficient to power essentials *and* my behemoth) 1/2

These “we did a trial run of UBI and all the statistics show that it really helped in every way, now the trial is over and we’ll do nothing with that info” tests are really starting to feel like those Flat Earthers proving the earth is a globe with science and then ignoring their own findings videos

Individuals who received the $1,000/mo or $500/mo payments were more likely to find a stable, full-time job than before they received the basic income. Results showed 45% of participants secured housing, while $589,214 was saved in public service costs. "It's freedom. It's freedom from poverty..."

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants had housing.www.businessinsider.com Participants in Denver's basic income program received up to $1,000 a month. They became more housing secure and landed full-time jobs.

Dear Reporters, If you’re interviewing a theocrat who says “all our laws are based on the Ten Commandments” and you don’t immediately ask them to provide evidence and examples for that laughably stupid claim, just go ahead and quit your job. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/u...

If you like a comic and want to see more of it, YOU SUPPORT THAT ARTIST SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE the internet has collectively not gotten this, somehow

Whispering very gently into the void that if you review a comic online and your main qualm is there isn't enough of it/it's too short, docking stars hurts the creator in question who has to live and die by review scores. If you loved it and want more, rate it highly!

"I need AI to make comics, I can't draw!" Okay, but one of the most popular webcomics of all time was literally just stick figures. Another one is over 4000 strips of the exact same clipart of dinosaurs. You can make a comic. Trust me, it's really not that hard.

I'm going to be starting a third weekly series next Saturday, and polling for interest. Check it out if you like!
