Turns out the @nytimes.com “Biden should drop out” take is stupid and wrong. I’m shocked.

This week: the very first video Stupid Comics, with special guest, Poindexter the VTuber! The usual text format returns next week, but in the meantime sit back, relax your reading muscles & let Poindexter tell you all about Superboy's split personality. misterkitty.net/extras/stupi...

great, one more thing anime cons have to worry about

Two attendees with an anarchist flag hijacked the panel and flashed their breasts to the audience before being taken away by security. I've never seen anything like this at an anime con! Tatsuru and Kawa-D took it in stride, cracked jokes about it being a hazing for Kawa-D.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

I think this is part of his plan. Break the LCBO so privatization goes full scale. Which is fucking absurd. We get BILLIONS from the LCBO. That helps all of Ontario. Huge revenue with an entity that pays employees well? THAT IS HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO WORK.

I once wondered why Doug Ford was so obsessed with getting beer and wine into convenience stores. Is going to the LCBO particularly difficult for him? But I forgot that the Beer Store and the LCBO are *unionized* and ah, there it is. Good old-fashioned union-busting from Tories, it’s all they know.

Turnips, please remember that **Galen Weston's cousin** is on the board of the LCBO. All LCBO decisions are meant to: - Benefit Loblaws and the big box stores - End unionized jobs - End revenue sources for the province The bust out continues. www.corruptario.ca/fords-obsess...

here’s a fucking marker: biden does not step down, trump loses. make your arguments against it, but that’s the baseline you would expect if you don’t read the times and the atlantic writers shitting their pants in public. show your work, and i will show mine.

cover by Dan Baker (RIP), and that's a really early "The City" strip (probably unauthorized reprint) by @derfbackderf.bsky.social

Want your anime fanzine with a heavy dose of underground comics vibe? We've got the July 1992 edition of Psychommu Gaijin, one of the longest running anime fanzines around. This issue takes a look at Akon 3, a look back at "Minicon" and much more. archive.org/details/psyc...

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Sure I have 3 copies of "Let's All Sing With The Chipmunks", I can stop any time I want

Yup. I don't care for Biden, but he has my vote if only to ensure that we don't end up becoming 1940s Germany 2.0. Because the Supreme Court just gave Trump and his ghouls carte blanche to do exactly that, and I know how that movie ends.

“Oh but Biden—“ Is not Trump. That’s how you end the sentence in the reality in which we live. It sucks and we need to change it, but your choices are the Damp Waffle Administration or Project 2025. That’s it. Sorry.

I don't usually go here. But anybody saying they aren't voting biden or whoever the dem pick is can shut the fuck up. By all means keep pointing out his failings (i do), but realize you are complicit in fucking yourself and everybody else on the PLANET if you let the Republicans take the Presidency.

finished screening six hours of classic anime on twitch and now I just want to watch Dirty Pair episodes all night

Dave takes a catgirl-bikini leap into the Anime Central 1999 program book at this month's Let's Anime! letsanime.blogspot.com/2024/06/rose...

Rosemont: 1999letsanime.blogspot.com Japanese animation, anime, cartoons, manga, 1960-1990, Tezuka, Miyazaki, Ishinomori, Matsumoto, Yamato, Gatchaman, Star Blazers, Captain Harlock

he got a novel out of missing a light switch he thought was there, and casually, as an aside, predicted a static future of recycled, stagnant, artificially maintained popular culture, smothering a world of uncomfortable truth

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

NYT: Joe should quit, he stutters Philly Inquirer: Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here

God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Boardwww.inquirer.com Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

it's unsurprising that making the same arguments as clueless ageists, Trump campaigners, and Putin operatives gets you lumped in with clueless ageists, Trump campaigners, and Putin operatives, but there you are

Months ago—when there was time—we asked to get the conversation going about setting Biden aside. We were criticized and accused of ageism and accused of secretly working for Trump and for Putin. Now you same people are sweating and panicking about whether Biden can be replaced.

six hours of vintage anime happening tomorrow at twitch.tv/terebifunhouse! #anime #princeplanet #astroboy #candycandy #greatmazinger #cyborg009 #anneofgreengables #stophibarikun #armorhuntermellowlink #panzerworldgalient #bavistock #blackmagicm66

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

I'm not depressed about politics. In 2016 I realized this is the fight, we're in the fight we spent our youth sitting around whining that we'd missed out on. We were in that fight before 2016 and we didn't know it. We know it now. This isn't the time for doomsaying, this is fightin' time
