Something I’ve commented on before is that, in addition to Nuremberg finding that the Nazis violated international law, they also found that they violated German law and the Weimar constitution (which had never been repealed).

Forget all this. The President has no fucking authority to declare war on anyone.

International law is great. It's important. But this shit is illegal as a matter of AMERICAN law

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.

Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'

None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

A screenshot of a page from the core rulebook of the tabletop RPG "Lancer". The screenshot is of a third-tier talent called "Here, catch!", describing an ability where mechs can eject superheated fuel rods as a means of attacking their enemies. Exact text follows: Here, Catch! You've modified your mech to launch its superheated fuel rods at enemies. Gain the following weapon as an integrated mount: Fuel Rod Gun Main CQB, Limited 3, Unique [Threat 3][Range 3][1d3+2 Energy damage] On Attack: Clear 4 Heat

I don't like that I had to listen to Ben Shapiro talk so much, but it was worth it to hear Scott thoroughly explain how he's wrong.

From a professional perspective, I think if you have the design knowledge to recolor and rearrange this sentence to read like "600% property tax increase" and knowingly send it to low-info voters, you're no better than a doctor stealing prescription drugs and should be shot in the street like a dog

The problem with dragging your feet on getting transit funded is it gives real estate troglodytes time to blast out fantasy propaganda like this to suburbanites

Stacey Sobelman staceysobelman ICE is offering a $45,000 SIGNING BONUS plus $100,000 starting salary. I make $55,000 as a teacher in my 8th year with a Masters. It was never true that wE dOn'T hAvE eNoUgH mOnEy to pay teachers more. It was always intentional. Education has been INTENTIONALLY defunded for decades because an educated populous is a threat to power. Read the books. Do the work. They are TERRIFIED of education.

Don't repeat right wing talking points against immigrants, poc & lgtbq communities. Stop taking corporate money. Stop supporting Israel's genocide. Stand up for marginalized communities attacked by Trump. Fight based on values not corporate consultants. Support Mamdani not Cuomo. Abolish ice.

The beautiful game (Puzzle Bobble) ✨️
A four-panel comic. In the first panel, we see a screen from the game Puzzle Bobble, with one red bubble aimed at another. Text reads: "I think Puzzle Bobble is beautiful". In the second panel, two red bubbles are colliding. Text reads: "the way the bubbles collide - a violent force". In the third panel, three bubbles collide and begin to disappear. One says, "goodbye". Text reads: "an urgent unity that saves the bubble community from the fate of a lonely death". In the fourth panel, we see Bob, the mascot dinosaur from the game. Text reads: "and there's a cute dinosaur!"

I promise you're sleeping on Puppy Truck. I picked up this ""tiny playground"" and was laughing my ass off for well over an hour. It's inventive, funny, charming, and has unique movement that's simple to pick up but has an infinitely high skill ceiling.

If you love platformers, it's a no-brainer.

“reality tv is inherently fascist” is my most consistently vindicated hot take of all time
thedailybeast.bsky.social The Daily Beast @thedailybeast.bsky.social · May 15
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

"ACAB Includes the Bathroom Police" would be a good shirt.
acollierastro.bsky.social Angela Collier @acollierastro.bsky.social · May 11
I've been deleting comments from the bathroom police but I am annoyed that people pretend to care about the safety of women when they literally elected a rapist felon president. No one is falling for your lies. We know you don't care about women. Stop pretending. It's pathetic. You're pathetic.

hindsight (1/2)
A two-panel comic with crudely drawn stick people. Panel 1: The lime green person is talking to the leaf green person and the moss green person. Lime: "I... have a confession to make." Leaf: "Go ahead." Lime: "I want to rewatch the Wizard Child movies." Leaf: "Didn't the wizard author get incredibly chromophobic?" Lime: "Yeah I just... It's nostalgia you know? They meant a lot to me when I was a kid." Panel 2: The three are on the couch. Lime: "All right, let's go." Leaf: "It's so weird how the wizard author just turned chromophobic though. Like I remember this series being pretty good for its time. It'll be weird seeing their work contrasting with their views now." Moss: "I'm just glad we got the movies for free through normal and legal means. Heh." Scenes from three Wizard Child movies. Wizard Child and the Simplistic Morality: A slightly round child with a propeller hat is talking to a child with no hat. Round child: "I am so fucking fat and greedy I am textually shown to be fat because I am greedy and also evil." Hatless child: "You are to infer my moral purity from juxtaposition with this fat child. Woe is me for our shared parent has deprived me of a propeller hat." Wizard Child and the Goodness of Wealth: An adult wizard is talking to the child, who now has a wizard hat. Wizard Adult: "Wizard child you are secretly extremely rich." Wizard Child: "I will form biases regarding the bankers all being triangular for some reason!" Wizard Adult: "Your wealth is deserved because your true parent was Good and therefore you are also Good." Wizard Child: "Now we should acquire consumer goods. Buy consumer goods!" Wizard Child and the Dark Family History: A blue-grey horse person is talking to the wizard child. Blue-grey: "No, wizard child. You don't understand. I am one of the good ones, because unlike the bad ones I don't try to spread my curse that makes you a blue-grey horselike creature to others!" Wizard child: "Wow uncle blue-grey you are one of the good ones! I forgive you for being a horse because I am so good I would even forgive horses. I sure hope you don't conspicuously get killed off later in this movie!" Oh hell no there are even more of these. Wizard Youth and the Tokenistic Relationship Dynamics: A square headed wizard youth is talking to the former wizard child, now a wizard youth. Square Wizard Youth: "Wizard child, as the only person with a square head in this entire series it is my duty to inform you that you are the savior of all people with square heads, too. Let us build a one-sided relationship that only furthers your character development, after which I will immediately lose all plot relevance." Wizard Youth: "I will do this because I am a maturing wizard youth and need disposable relationships that don't threaten the endgame!" Wizard Youth and the Escalation of Stakes: The Dark Wizard, a sort of grey-green person with a cloak, is pointing at Wizard Youth. Dark Wizard: "Wizard Youth, I have returned!" Wizard Youth: "Dark Wizard! Why are you green now?" Dark Wizard: "Evil magic made me green! I am green with envy towards all who are good!" Wizard Youth: "I will not engage with how you are clearly based on fascist ideologies and yet this narrative plays into fascist aesthetic sensibilities!" Wizard Youth and the Post-Hoc Revelations: The Wizard Youth is leaning over their Wizard Mentor, who is laying in a pool of blood. Wizard Youth: "Wizard Mentor no! You can't die!" Wizard Mentor: "It is fine, wizard youth. My death will further your character development into a wizard adult. Also, I was secretly a very very dark purple this entire time. I never brought it up so I could retain narrative approval. Wizard Adult and the Overdue Conclusion. Three panels. I am sorry. Panel 1: The dark wizard is dueling the Wizard Adult with magic beams. Dark Wizard: "Evil green beam!" Wizard Adult: "Good red beam! Despite the enormous variety of magic in this series this is what our final battle looks like!" Panel 2: Wizard Adult stands victorious over the dark wizard, who is dying on the ground. Wizard Adult: "In the end, dark wizard, you were defeated because I am morally superior to you." Dark Wizard: "I was a product of systemic failures. There will be someone like me again someday!" Panel 3: Zoom in on wizard adult, who says: "Not if I can help it. Because I am going to be a wizard cop now. The moral of this story is that all systemic issues can be solved by finding a bad guy to beat."
