Another reason the prequels sucked. I liked the idea that it was old and unremembered by most everyone.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

The ones you saw look great! At certain times of the year there is a commonly seen yellow-spotted millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana) — AKA almond-scented millipede, AKA cyanide millipede.

This story about a day of calls to domestic violence hotlines was harrowing but well done. It’s insane how many people are trapped in violent relationships and in fear for their lives.
Repealing abortion rights has made it worse.

Look this is all well and good but just as a reminder, billionaires go outside. If you try, you might find one. You can just push one in front of a bus. Bam. Trickle down theory in action.

I think people outside of the United States have no idea how grotesque this is to Americans. One of the things Americans have snottily prided ourselves on is while other countries often have an unspoken bribery system to Get Things Done It's been a KEYSTONE that WE do not DO that.

There is a brilliant "lost" verse for "This land is your land" by Woody Guthrie that I loved so much that I created a comic from it as a tribute. It's really sad how few people know about it, I felt like it needed some love.

It’s great to have stories fiddling around the least important edges of existential problems. How do we count the deaths? This many? Maybe a few less? Great work everyone. Problem solved.

Six months for each felony? Seems reasonable. That’s 17 years in prison.

I don't know if this has registered so much outside Brazil, but speaking as someone who knows the region well, and still has lots of family there: this has been unimaginably horrible and devastating. The climate dystopia has arrived, and it's really, really awful... www.reuters.com/world/americ...
