Hope is the things with fists.
Fight against daunting odds, because it’s the right thing to do, and because sometimes you win.

Just remember: the fascists do not have to win. It is not inevitable.

Saw this weird little guy walking across the trail in the forest preserves. I think it's a leaf-footed bug nymph. Or a Pokémon.

Who the hell thought that Liam Neeson would be a good choice for the role of Philip Marlowe?

Comics of the mid-14th century! Here's a straightened-out, lighter version if you wanna check out more details... ( h/t @lizzzs.bsky.social ) I hope most now find it obvious that this is the same art form as the latest X-Men—not an easy sell when I wrote Understanding Comics in 1993.
Early European sequential art. "Thirty Bible Stories," mid-14th century, anonymous Veronese artist (Museo del Castelvecchio, Verona)

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

When the Hillary's emails shit started, I immediately understood that the only reason it was a thing at all was the GOP would do anything to keep her from being elected President, so I ignored it. Pretty much the same with the Biden age shit.

More people need to understand that conservatives will pretend to believe whatever it takes in the moment to get to the end goal of hurting people
