If voting isn’t enough (I didn’t think it is) then do more. Go knock on doors for the candidate that you like. There are a million ways to participate in democracy.

Love to door knock for Heinrich Himmler.

These “both choices bad. Better to not vote” people really don’t make any kind of sense to me.

Hey, listen. I vote every year. This year, 90% of my ballot is going to be blank, because so many of the candidates are absolutely abhorrent. But when I am presented with the Himmler / Hitler choice, I will be firmly bubbling in © None of the Above. I might even knock a few doors and tell my neighbors about how great © None of the Above would be. If I could figure out where to send my money, I could even see myself donating.

Image being unhealthy and saying “it’s going to take more than a 20 minute walk once a week to get in shape. Better not even do that then cuz what would be the point?”

Its funny, because I’m picturing you trying to recover from a broken leg with that mentality.

Republicans. Would. Be. Worse.

We will be more like China

We won’t be like China. We’ll be more insulated and divorced from Chinese media, culture, and conversation.

That’s the stated end goal. Bringing up sharp walls between nationalities in order to control the flow of information between people.

If we keep TikTok open, we risk exposing American young people to Chinese norms, ideals, and social standards. We might even be exposed directly to Chinese mass media (ie, propaganda).

This is a real security risk, as it raises a possibility that younger Americans won’t accept American mass media at face value.

Nintendo gets to do this (the Yuzu shit) because so many other developers have stopped making anything except slot machines.

Behold, the unlimited power of a fully nationalized war time economy.

No Poor Muslims Allowed

Me: “Mom, can we have New Star Trek?”

Dune Mom: “You have Old Star Trek at home”

Old Star Trek At Home

More than 122 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since the outbreak of the war.

America deserves a President Kamala Harris

How do we not have a Stavi emoji? God damn.

Well, anyway, I will see your Apolitical Stavros Dick Jokes With Celebrities show and raise you Bring Back Virgil.

They should have given it to Adam Friedland.

Somebody explain to me why Eminence in Shadow is good, because I’ve watched three episodes and it just seems like horny Batman.

I mean, the joke is going to be in the enforcement, as a battalion of Australia’s largest and roundest uniformed fascist shitheads march through the streets breaking windows and swinging at the heads of anyone sporting a Palestinian flag.

You’re going to have folks with swastika face tattoos explaining why these anti-Zionist activists just need to obey the law.

Picard was already bordering on elder abuse.

Ah shit. Have the Tamil Tigers entered the chat?

M.I.A. is going to have to make a new music video about this one.

Certainly possible that elements were AI generated. However, this image feels like it had someone putting polish on it. The symmetry - both in the setting and in the focal point of the image - plus the sharper color contrast particularly between the red of Mt. Doom and the blue of the mountains and the way that you get a real sense of light coming directly from the volcano and radiating out into the rest of the image. Someone definitely had their hands on this in a material way, even if it was just moving clip-art onto a canvas and tweaking the colors a bit.
