Yale College Council president Alex Chen and Yale Student Body President Michelle Jimenez at the Democratize Yale rally. Lot of respect for these and the other student leaders. Putting themselves on the line, pushing back against the inexcusable actions of the admins. Be like them when you grow up.

People don’t realize how serious the situation is.

A graph showing number of Germanies over time. Losing one on October 3rd 1990 means by projection we are only decades before reaching -1 Germany in 2072

Provided we're all still here in a decade, I think you're probably right about that!

A judge who's "loyal" to the president that picked them isn't a judge at all; just a fucking stooge—and that's exactly what these people are 90% of the time. Trump's just pissed it isn't 100%.

Can't make it to my Office Hours? Cursed to live somewhere that is not Portland, Oregon? Here's some advice that might apply to your comics.

When some comics became intangible online, paper became *visible* to artists again, leading to beautiful new paper comics. Now, when some "art" becomes inhuman, *we* become visible to ourselves again. What beautiful new *human* art might be the result?

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Indeed. Every time I encounter a Nevelson in the wild, I have to take a selfie! And yes, it’s about time I visited a Busiek or two!

Yeah! And and I love that she covered the ENTIRE ALBUM.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.
