Found a set of cartoons I did from 2021 of “Asian-style Americans,” satirizing those so-called “Asian-style” recipes that qualify their ethnicness with the addition of an “Asian ingredient.”
Rather proud of these.

“Get off the phone!” took on new meaning today, and it was just me futilely telling my little baby to roll off of the phone she was on top of while I was in the middle of a call.

Some of you talking about how Ilya showers so much so it must be OCD need to take a step back and consider that the baseline of which you are judging against as "so much" - i.e. your baseline - is that you are dirty.

interestingly some of my interviewees (Chinese feminists) have the same critique of a certain type of anti-CCP dudes (Chinese dissidents), that is they hate a particular regime but don't have compassion for the oppressed

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

During the 2019 Hong Kong protests, Marco Rubio fashioned himself such a passionate friend to the demonstrators that some really fancied him net-net a force for good.
He’s a fucking snake and always has been.

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.
