A digital billboard in LA reads "Guardians of Pedophiles" while displaying Trump, Johnson, Bondi, Vance, and Patel

Could also have gone with "Groomers of the Galaxy"

Pam Bondi is a rape apologist, denialist, and, by virtue of her failure to act, ultimately a promoter of rape.

Justice for Ava.
4 frame comic. 1st frame is a portrait of Ava Cordero. Text reads : In 2008, Ava Cordero, a latina trans woman, was one of the first to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of child sexual abuse and rape, for events that took place between 2000 and 2001. she was 16. 2nd frame is a drawing of Epsteins Island. Text reads : The court found her accusations credible, but decided to dismiss the case because it exceeded the recently passed maximum time within which legal pro- ceedings may be initiated for such cases.* Source: *cordero v. Epstein, supreme Court, NY county, October 10th, 2008 3rd frame is a newspaper showing Cordero, her ex-partner, and Epstein. Title reads S(he) has a history. Text reads : The accused, his allies and the press were quick to paint Cordero as delusional, mocking the idea that Epstein could have had a relationship with a trans girl because he was heterosexual. 4th frame shows Epstein and Trump. Text reads : Cordero never fully got justice. Let's make sure that her fight wasn't in vain. Too many women like her live with the consequences of what Epstein and his accomplices have done. Under the strip, text reads : Special shout-out to Eli erlick for unearthing Ava's story!

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Hubris
4 frame comic. the first frame shows a tangram swan. text reads : they call it "aI", but large language models (llm) such as chatbots are far from intelligent: they are pattern- recognition machines that churn out whatever might sound like a reply to the thing you last said. 2nd frame shows inside a data center. text reads : that distinction matters, because the technology for actual aI simply doesn't exist. the only way for llm to get better is to feed it more data, transiting in bigger polluting data centers, scavenged always deeper into our devices. 3rd frame shows a child blowing bubbles. text reads : but once the whole internet has been fed to their llm, how can these companies promise neverending growth to their shareholders? that's what makes "AI" a bubble, kept afloat by circular investments and hype. 4th frame shows a chatbot logo. text reads : llms need us to keep interacting and coming back in order to grow. they are sycophantic by design. they amplify delusions and will never disagree with you or challenge your worldview. it's ripping apart communities for a few billionaires' hubris.

Daily bunny no.3136 is going home at last
Three bunnies are standing together in a trench, in World War 1 British uniforms. Two of them have rifles. They look up to see a dove carrying an olive branch, as the sun emerges from clouds

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

Cat in motion.

#Cats #Cat #Pets
An orange and white tomcat with on orange smudge on his face begins to leap out from under a green puff atop a bed after realizing he is being photographed. A CD case is in the far right and a chest of mystery items sits on my nightstand in the far background.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.
