Captain Torture
A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

tumblr user nitewrighter posts: Me: I don’t get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I’m like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities.

They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

My speech at the vigil.

“No one can Save Everyone. But everyone can save someone. Look for who you can save”
Thank you for having me to speak, while I wish we were gathering in joy rather than in mourning. I am touched and heartened that I see all of you out here with us today. Because that's what we need at this moment. To not be isolated, not be alone, but to be in community with each other. My name is Fae Weichsel, I am a union member and organizer, I was born into a union family. I've been active in my union for over a decade fighting both for queer rights and labor rights. I know the power in collective action, in community coming together for a common good. That is what we need right now, solidarity with our trans brothers. Solidarity with our entire trans community. Solidarity with and from not only the queer community but the entire community. It is a scary time to be a trans person in america. I know it, you know it. We live it, I am speaking to the choir today. We know the harm that comes to our community. We've all had to help fellow trans and queer kin heal, recover and process this harm and often trauma. Now is the time that requires action. If not us, who? If not now, when? If not here, where? But what are we to do? What are we to do when we are beset on all sides? It's a time to look at our queer and trans history. Our community history is one of struggle and strife but also? Of victory, we did not get better treatment by asking the cops at stonewall nicely. We did not get HIV medications by being patient, we did not get AIDS treatment by being quiet. We did not get PrEP by "being good" we got it by acting up. Silence Equals Death. Its true. Hyper Invisibility is not a shield, and hyper visibility is not a sword. These are things we know, we are a community that comes from all walks of life, so many varied backgrounds, we know the meaning of family. Various reasons and circumstances make our community one deeply familiar with found family. Many of us have extended found family networks. I have brothers, kin and sisters, with whom I share no blood. "Blood is thicker than water" no. I reject that. The quote is about the blood of the covenant being thicker than water. I am in covenant with all trans people. I cannot and will not let them go alone in this world we find ourselves in. All trans people are family. I want to read the words of Linda Norquiest, Sam's mother, in regards to trying to find her son. "At least Sam could possibly hear my voice and know: 'Mom's here. Mom's looking" We need to be each other's family and look for each other and continue to keep looking out for each other. Make sure your family is safe and ok. Check in on each other. Form stronger bonds between us. Because together? We have a power greater than the sum of its parts. To take a term from our queer history. An army of lovers cannot lose. A lot of us are afraid. I will tell you I'm afraid. But you cannot be courageous without fear. Being courageous involves being afraid, and acting anyway. Not in a dangerous reckless way, but not letting fear rule our lives. If we can conquer the fear within ourselves to transition to show the world who we really are? Then it is also on us, and I mean also my cis kin here as well. It is on all of us, to conquer the fear within ourselves, to show up and be there for our family in this time. For us trans people to stand up for ourselves, and for our cis comrades to stand with us! We have a long fight ahead of us. Something I like to say and I would like to leave you with is this thought of mine. No one can save everyone But everyone can save someone. Look for who you can save. Thank you for your time.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

Dear media:

Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.

It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.

Focus on those.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

Well, food is about to get a lot more expensive, and I manage stress by info-dumping, so I'm gonna share some of the survival strategies I learned spending my first 30 years food-insecure:

First: Cooking in large quantities and freezing some for later is more cost-effective than cooking every day

A message from inside the OPM.
A posting from Reddit from someone inside subverted from the inside by a bunch of trumpist officials, who have pretty much pushed the career workers to the side, and are setting themselves up for more mayhem when it comes to federal employment. It's pretty discouraging.
