The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Dan Rather represents an era when journalism wasn't as polarized into political groups. I miss those days. 😭

At a certain point it became
Unfashionable for poets to care about
Meter. they just started writing
Whatever they wanted
Into a vaguely poem-like shape.

Whatever happened to sonnets?
Are rhyme-schemes trying too hard?
Or did we forget to teach people how

PANEL 1: A shot of jack-booted stormtroopers parading down a street. In the far background, two figures are ducking on a rooftop. PERSON 1: HMM. That can't be good. PERSON 2: They'll probably come for us soon! PANEL 2: Closer in on the roof, PERSON 1 is MATTIE. She sits up a little bit and pulls up her phone. MATTIE: WAIT. I have an idea. Yes! PANEL 3: MATTIE, turned away from the edge of the roof. She types on her phone. The SECOND PERSON still peers over the edge. SFX: BINK! MATTIE: OKAY. I have canceled my subscription to, I believe, the correct tv and movie streaming service, that should fix all this. PANEL 4: Same shot, MATTIE turns to the other person, who turns back to her. MATTIE: Any change? PERSON 2: Not yet…Try another one maybe?

When I watched a smiling Lionel Messi applauding Trump’s cartoon villain bloodlust, I thought about Muhammad Ali going on international television to deliver his poem condemning the Attica prison massacre, telling the world that fascists would never conquer the human spirit.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Two colour illustration of Barad Dûr, with Sauron's eye at the top. surrounded with the ring inscription in elvish. the sky is red with sparks and ash floating in the air, the tower is above a fiery chasm. The front doors are glowing red with silhouettes of chains and armouries. A cloud of ash conceals the horizon. This will be a banner and riso print first. Digital prints coming later this year.

This guy (@glutelord.bsky.social) is correct about a lot of the discourse around "looksmaxxing" and so much of guys' ideas of what men should look like, and he should keep saying it.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

Ink drawing- a fairy queen stands staring at the viewer. In one hand she holds a scepter, in the other she lifts her heavy skirt slightly. She is standing in a bramble of blackberries in front of a tree. She has big moth wings.
