canonically, in The Young Pope, Jude Law uses his divine, entirely real connection to god almighty to ask Him to smite a corrupt nun in Africa who is siphoning funds from the charity she runs for starving children and she dies that very night. in my heart of hearts i believe Pope Leo has this power

*guy cheering on nuclear war voice* why aren’t people having babies?

A risograph print of a unicorn sitting in an alpine meadow full of various wildflowers found in the pacific northwest. A purplish mountain looms in the horizon
Risographed this one after some difficulty - this print is now up on my shop! kendrap.com/shop/paradisepark
There's a yellow roller mark that I couldn't fully remove from this run, so I've discounted the riso print.
Perfect digital prints are also available if that's your jam

Chapo Trap House: All politics are sexual pathology and the sexual pathology of the right is rape.
The critics: PSHHHH that's too simplistic, this is a land of contrasted motives and complex individuals.
Reality:
The highest quality video of the moon was just released…

After a while you learn a thing or two about living: that evil rarely arrives with horns or thunder. It arrives politely, with folded arms and a soft voice saying that couldn’t have happened. It arrives in the shrug, the careful doubt, the way someone studies the floor instead of your face. You learn that empathy is not a gentle virtue. It is a blade. It cuts through denial, through the easy lie that people are mostly harmless and monsters are rare. Empathy demands we look directly at what people do to one another. Many refuse. Because if they believed you, they would have to admit the world is capable of terrible things. And that is heavier than your suffering.
A Thing or Two About Living.
After a while
you learn a thing or two about living:
that evil rarely arrives
with horns or thunder.
It arrives politely,
with folded arms
and a soft voice saying
that couldn’t have happened.

adam says it much more succintly. the american right will happily impoverish the united states and make it an oversized backwater if it means they can dominate women and minorities and play act as a master class
Imagine being a decent, normal, everyday guy named Markwayne. You're just going about your life, trying to be a good husband to your wife Pfluanna and a good dad to your kids Brandoug and Kirkaneezer, and then along comes this piece of shit
According to ABC7, some demonstrators did not disperse after the end of the march in downtown LA, and chaos ensued. Lady Liberty was among those arrested
Could not be a better representation of what is going on in our country than this photo

DO YOUR STRETCHES AND THANK ME LATER
Listen, I give the Democrats a lot of shit. But they played this hand. I mean it was one of the stronger hands of minority party can have, but I know there was a lot of pressure from everyone except their base for them to fold.
It is nice when they listen to us.
Just saw a post (with disabled comments) expressing surprise at how mundane all-gender bathrooms are.
Get out of your USA bubble and visit Europe sometime.
My wife at PDX: "I know we're back in the USA"
Me: "Oh? How?"
Wife: "The bathrooms are an absolute pit"
Yep.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.
I’ve never seen a picture of a chicken go harder than this
The World Cup in the USA is going to be far more unsafe for visitors than the 1936 Olympics were.
Looking up at stars, I know quite well That for all they care I can go to hell But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How would we like it were stars to burn With passion for us we cannot return If equal affection cannot be Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give damn I cannor, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. If all stars were to disappear or die I should learn to look at an empty sky And see its total dark sublime Though this might take me a little time. W.H Auden
“If equal affection cannot be,
let the more loving one be me”
No idea if it’s true but it seems extremely likely.
