Him: well what's your big brain idea to eliminate food assistance fraud?

Me: universal food assistance

Him:

Me: because there wouldn't be a system to cheat, everyone would just get a check

Him: and who does that benefit?

Me: family farmers and human beings who rely on food for nutrition

Him: what about rich people?

Me: what about them?

Him: you would give them food assistance too?

Me: that's what universal means

Him: you can't do that

Me: yesterday you said I couldn't tax them and now you won't let me feed them either?

Him: they can afford food

Me: then it should be fine to tax them

Him: but if you tax them they won't have as much money

Me: I'm willing to offer universal food assistance

Epstein Backed ‘Billionaires’ Dinner’ Network of Prominent Anti-Trans Figures:

(The network in question also tried to discredit women who accused powerful men of rape. Transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, rape culture: it's all part of the same phenomenon.)

Patriarchy in action: The Epstein files showcase the private behavior of a male ruling class. They network, joke & trade info. Women on the periphery do the office & sexual housework: organize the men's calendars, arrange food, grace a table & provide sex. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int

Fun Fact: The uber-classic theme from the original film "Shaft" (1971) -- written by Isaac Hayes -- doesn't have a single lyric until a full three minutes into the composition!

"Shut yo' mouth!" ("I'm talking about Shaft!") "Then we can dig it!"

This week's comic: "Polarization" is a reality-obscuring weasel word

"Polarization"

IT'S A COMMON REFRAIN THESE DAYS.

NATTERING NOGGINS HOSTS:

THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS THAT AMERICA HAS BECOME TOO POLARIZED.

YES, IT'S SO SAD.



BUT THE TERM "POLARIZATION" CAN BE A FORM OF BOTH-SIDESING THAT OBSCURES SPECIFICS.

ARMED EXTREMIST: I'M HERE TO STOP THE TRANSGENDERS FROM DESTROYING THE COUNTRY.

TRANSGENDER PERSON: I PREFER NOT TO DIE, AND SOMETIMES SHARE THIS OPINION!



WHEN A MOVEMENT BECOMES EXTREMIST, DO WE REALLY WANT TO SEE THE OPPOSITION AS PART OF THE PROBLEM?

MAN: ANYONE WHO HELPS A 10 YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM GET AN ABORTION SHOULD GO TO JAIL!
	
WOMAN: THAT'S BARBARIC AND I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO FIGHT IT.

POLARIZATION ALERT




WOULD THIS BE BETTER?

MAN IN MILITARY GEAR: YOU WILL DO AS I SAY, SUBHUMAN!

LATINO MAN: I WILL POLITELY ACQUIESCE!

HOW NICE! NO MORE POLARIZATION!

Big Tech does care about us. They care about us the way a livestock slaughterhouse cares about their livestock.

Epstein's corrupting influence was global in scale. And in Europe, where there are comparatively more sane conservative parties than the Republican Party here in the US, his business associates are actually being investigated. politico.com/news/2026/02/06/e

Mozilla is going all in on AI. More and more. Cue The Imperial March.

@salyavin @lauren This is the beginning of the end. It's unimportant to have the toggle. Nobody was asking for AI. Completely a top-down decision. The core mission has been lost. I hope I'm wrong...

This makes me so sad especially as all others are basically chromium under the hood these days and I want more than one. I also like firefox addons. This could finish off mozilla in my opinion.

My preference: Old internal combustion engine vehicle with a manual transmission and zero integral connectivity. Excellent.
