Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:

Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.

Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.

Sitting at Mandalorian and Grogu, hoping a George Melies effect makes the Hutt come out of the screen.

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

"Move fast break stuff". Turns out it was our stuff they were breaking.

I feel like Jimmy Carter got so much bad press for a fraction of this I still hear about it. It was in Austin Powers alongside the fall of the USSR as the most important things that happened.

Yeah just like that

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

WWIII comic from DC. It shows Black Adam fighting all the world's heroes against a red sky.

The publishing of Gender Queer by Oni Press continues to be one of the most punk things pro comics have done. An important article regarding books like that and their future under fascism.

The only thing that was keeping America from fascism is a sizeable fraction of the American populace that doesn't believe that elementary schools are giving kids litter boxes en masse.

And folks - the world's oldest democracy failed that test.

like i said this when the US attacked venezuela. we are hurdling back into an extremely violent world, one which hasn't really existed since the 1700s and which nobody since hitler has really tried to enact. and it's entirely on trump's hands

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

The Butterfinger may or may not have gained sentience. It has anxiety.

The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.

And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.

They're slavers.

Casting a celeb takes some of the magic out of a cartoon character. This character is no longer as real, it's Chris Pratt's side hustle. What, you're going to deny one of life's few lottery winners a side hustle?!

Chris Pratt as Garfield is a high bar to clear,but this might be the apotheosis of giving one of the handful of handsomely paying, recurring voiceover gigs to a somewhat-known on-camera actor instead of somebody who specializes in voice acting. There was no reason to cast this guy as a CGI worm.

Further proof only idiots who don't know what the fuck they're doing use this shit
