Okay, I'm logging off! Not because things are bad. Well, actually--yes, because things are bad! The world's going to hell, and I want to follow up on a thing I abandoned because I didn't think it was in the cards for me. (The very best time to try something new is when everything's ****ed.)

Honestly there's something to be said for living hundreds of years ago when rich failsons were messing up entire continents on the daily but you were too busy farming or dying or being illiterate to know about it

Guy literally had secrets in his bathroom, selling them to foreign nationals. Calls people to steal votes. Sends a mob to keep himself in office. This country pissing all over its history to bend over backwards for this guy? This is the guy we bring down the whole experiment for?

I don't know if I should post this here or on Twitter because it's about comics but it's also about black people.

Man, I was already committed to spending as little time as possible interacting with people who hate me, but after reading that dude's Twitter account, I am tripling down on that. Life is too short.

They have discovered the Twitter account of the man who died at the Trump rally and his tweets are EXACTLY what you would expect. His last one was to Catturd.

Wild that there was supposedly a whole Disney hack on top of everything else going on. www.eurogamer.net/details-of-u...

Honestly no idea where my life is heading but I guess ill just keep on making art

Elon Musk has been outsmarted by Grimes and Azealia Banks. If any of his wealthy enemies wanted him dead, he'd be six feet under already.

Lmaoooo yeah well someone tried to kill me twice

Y'all, I cannot STAND these people. If you've resigned yourself to a second Trump presidency, then why not do what Republicans do in the same position and "break" as many things as possible just to win a popularity contest with your base? Forgive student loans! Medicare for all!

A senior House Democrat says efforts to replace Biden at the top of the ticket have stopped because, “We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency."

Trump rally shooting upends congressional Democrats' crisis over Biden's candidacywww.axios.com Rep. Dean Phillips said it would be "unpatriotic and unprincipled" to focus on anything besides the shooting.

I'm going to keep it really real--if this had happened to Biden, I'D be cracking jokes about it within 48 hours. Because that man is fine. I've hurt myself worse pulling my shoulder because "Lose My Breath" by Destiny's Child unexpectedly came on.

If this had happened to Biden, Trump would be cracking jokes about it within 48 hours, and if the shooter had survived, he'd quickly ratchet his way up to "jokes" about pardoning the guy within a week.

Watching people earn millions of dollars to run some of the worst campaigns I've seen in quite some time has been infuriating.

“The Biden campaign will draw on the president's history of condemning all sorts of political violence including his sharp criticism of the "disorder" created by campus protests over the Israel-Gaza conflict, campaign officials said on condition of anonymity.” Hahahahaha, go fuck yourselves.

Biden, Democrats scramble after Trump rally shooting upends campaignwww.reuters.com U.S. President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is scrambling for a new strategy after an assassination attempt on Republican rival Donald Trump in western Pennsylvania, including deciding to call off verbal attacks on the former president for now.

I was actually shocked, and a little annoyed, by how many people were afforded opportunities in publishing or journalism because they were already affluent. The silence is what specifically annoyed me because all this time I felt like a ****-up.

The majority of people flatly do not understand — and would be honestly shocked by! — how little money most publicly known writers make

Was he actually bullied in high school? Or is this the white version of "Black girls didn't like me because I watched anime"?

The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was bullied in high school and didn’t fit in with other students, former classmates told CNN. Here's what we know so far.

I’m in an airport again so I’m gonna take this opportunity to weigh in on various discourses that have been going on: 1. No 2. Wrong 3. Think that through for a second 4. Ridiculous

So, business as usual then?

MAGA boards are lighting up with declarations of civil war, with a NY-based Proud Boys channel calling for feds, Democrats and reporters to be “hung in the streets.”

Far-Right Extremists Call for Violence and War After Trump Shootingwww.wired.com "They should all be hung in the streets," one person wrote of Democrats, the media, and others. "War now," another wrote.

I honestly wish other billionaires were as extremely online and desperate for public approval as Elon Musk is. You might make minimum wage. You might have little to no political power. But, by God, you can get on Rihanna's Internet and hurt Elon Musk's feelings for making Twitter a racist cesspool.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

Off-topic: How in the hell were they unable to secure a location that small and remote? They got Keystone Cops running things now? I sure wouldn't want to be attending the RNC as a politician or journalist. Best of luck!

Political violence always benefits authoritarians because liberals will always condemn it and authoritarians, regardless of whether they are perpetrators or victims, will always use it to claim more power.

i’m being told it’s my duty to condemn political violence, so in light of yesterday’s events i once again condemn the israeli genocide against the palestinian people, and the united states’ active participation in enabling it.

OMG, people are so annoying. Being thoroughly pleased by bad things happening to Trump--a HORRIBLE person who literally diminished my quality of life with his presidency--does not mean I am a Biden cheerleader. Stop trying to dim the light inside of me!

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

I see that you're online right now! So this is a good moment then for you to call your rep and ask them to join AOC in calling for Alito and Thomas's impeachment. Now is great. you can leave a voicemail. easy peasy. www.house.gov/representati...

They are setting off fireworks outside and if this is for the reason I think it's for, that is rude--but very, very funny.

I REFUSE to feel guilty for laughing at things that are hilarious.
