I love Junji Ito and all but I am begging anglophone comic retailers to pick up horror manga titles by someone other than him for once. Like, we don’t need less Junji Ito, but we can get more of some other guys in there too

You're not really voting for Biden, you're voting for the people who have done some hard, truly impressive work that doesn't generate click bait hysteria headlines. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

If you've already known for like 25 years that some groups in the U.S. have already experienced living under USian fascism and your FedBook friend Jane is posting nonstop about fascism being on the way and Project 2025 existing, I understand your frustration. But alas, we need more people to fight.

I too used to be an 'oh, NOW you care' person when I was younger. I was profoundly annoyed with ppl who didn't "understand" what I already knew & then all of a sudden started caring. Then I realized that was a ME issue, not at all about them. EYE was annoyed while THEY were coming to consciousness.

All the US news headlines about France being in “political limbo” and “uncertainty” now are wild to read, because the actual vibe over here is “whatever, we got a coalition that kept the fascists from getting in control, we’ll figure out the rest as we go”

These obviously won't pass. They're equally obviously intended to serve other purposes. But there's a central point that shouldn't be missed here: Thomas's financial antics, in particular are absolutely something that should be the target of an impeachment investigation. And would in a sane world.

I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

And so however reluctant I am to vote for Joe Biden as a person, I am comfortable with the choices he has made in his cabinet, for the most part. But I'm still livid about the genocide, which is why I want to go protest the active president, even during election season.

Makes my skin crawl that these people have to spend the twilight of their lives being denied justice by people who weren’t even alive when they were brutalized and that what were supposed to be the best years of their lives was stained by an overt rejection of justice.

He's right, and Democrats in Wisconsin will need help! This is the first time since 2010 we've had anything even remotely resembling fair maps, and while there still is a slight GOP edge, there is a real opportunity for Democrats to take control of at least one of the legislative chambers this fall.

The Supremes ruled that a POTUS has immunity for actions directly related to his office, but not personal actions (without defining what those are) so Trump is trying to erase his felony convictions by claiming that paying porn stars hush money for sex is “official POTUS business,” as expected

I agree, but would suggest that that should be the retirement age for SCOTUS and Congress as well. If they want to stay in longer, improve conditions so that everyone in the country can live longer. Or just go spend your final years with the grandkids or something normal.

People keep asking me what this is in reference to, and the answer is not some singular event. It's been decades of political and cultural pressure to erode the right to free speech. None of this is new. Hell, it's been a step by step reenactment of Weimar Berlin from 100 years ago.

I got a text from supposed Dems yesterday saying that if I didn't reply saying I was voting for Biden, they assumed I was voting for Trump. If this is what polling is, it's meaningless. Most polling is terrible anyways because it only counts people who answer their phones.
