Seeing this comic get brought up again, and I don't think I'll ever stop feeling overjoyed that it's been able to help even a single person.

Someone was killed at a homeless encampment sweep in Atlanta last night BY a city truck.
The city killed them. They didn't check the tents!!!!!!!!!!
Heartbreaking. A day after MLK's birthday, a block from Ebenezer Baptist where he was minister, a homeless person is killed by a public works vehicle as the city clears an encampment.

“why aren’t you at The Hague?” is a great question, every other journalist should be asking Blinken the same thing

In regards to the Neil Gaiman story it is actually very normal to want to hang out with the person who raped you again before you process that it was actually rape :/ sorry!

The Neil Gaiman stuff isn't just bad, it's multi-part docuseries bad, it's known for this first and his previous career as a writer second bad

the first morning of the fires when the sky was black with smoke, i went outside to see and a neighbor, also looking, called out to me and said “storm clouds! rain’s coming, that’ll be good!”

Hasan and Caroline Kwan are talking to the incarcerated firefighters while they are on their downtime. Prisoners who are risking their lives battling the fires for pennies on the dollar, sleeping on forest floors at night.
Twitter hates outside links in posts, but he is currently live, here is a short thread of clips.

I know people have said this but want to underline — disasters like the LA fires just show me over and over that people want to help each other so badly. it’s our natural inclination and we live in a place that stamps it out on a government level, but it doesn’t change the desire

Oh it turns out the story about the firefighter budget in LA being cut is wrong. It was *increased* by $50 million.

Now’s a good time to remember California JUST voted to keep unpaid/criminally underpaid prison labor (slavery) and that a lot of the people affected by that vote are the ones fighting to save our city right now. npr.org/2024/07/18/nx-s1-504…

Karen Bass, the Mayor of Los Angeles cut the Fire Department's budget massively by $18m, to fund LAPD even more despite all the data showing they definitely don't need it.
Now She is talking about praying for the brave fire fighters when she's the one who kneecapped them.

It is really quite astonishing how bad Covid actually was. So many people want to either forget it or claim the world overreacted but it was an extraordinary disaster.
After almost five years, the estimated global death toll for Covid is somewhere around 20 million, making it one of the deadliest outbreaks of communicable disease in human history. pbs.org/newshour/health/5-ye…
