not “emo adrien’s design is fucking ugly” and not “you’re just upset he doesn’t look like a teen model you can crush on anymore” but a secret third thing. the idea is cool but it looks awful in the 3D style of mlb

If Sid Abernathy had grown into an adult, would he look like Mathew McConaughey 🤔

@fellow europeans (and the rest of the world), here’s how your country voted on the UN resolution for immediate ceasefire in Gaza:

Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary: against

Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden: abstained

Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain : in favour

Additionally, EU leaders couldn’t agree on calling for a ceasefire, and settled on much tamer language:

Quote: Spain’s Pedro Sánchez, whose government holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU, had led calls for a humanitarian ceasefire, but senior diplomats said countries such as Austria, Germany and Sweden feared such strong language risked undermining the bloc’s support for Israel’s right to self-defence.

Europe cannot claim to stand for human rights, peace and democracy and let the indiscriminate killing of civilians continue.

Call you representatives, email your president or chancellor or prime minister, idc, please use your voice to change their minds. If we’re divided our voices are inaudible. If the EU was united in favour of a ceasefire, it might have a small chance of influencing the US, which in turn is the only country that has any sway with Israel.

Can we all just agree to stop pressuring creators to have the most diverse cast of characters as humanly possible at the expense of their story?

Like, yes, maybe I don't have a lot of female characters, maybe I don't need an equal amount of male and female characters to tell my story Gary I don't have time for token characters

I'd like to add on my favorite detail about the voyager!

The voyager holds the brainwaves of a woman in love.

Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan met while working on the voyager and had developed feelings for each other from that time. They were purely co-workers and friends, but from one single phone call from Ann it changed everything.

She called Carl to tell him she had found a piece of music to add to the record, and somewhere along the lines, the two became engaged to be married.

Ann later had a better idea to take the electoral impulse of a human brain and nervous system and make it into sound, in hopes that someone could be able to use that data to hear her thoughts.

Only a few days later after the engagement she went to get that recording, and what was she thinking about? How she was in love with Carl.

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

EDIT: Y'all OOP is not whitewashing and brushing past the crimes of the fucking Taliban, they're simply pointing out that unlike the American elite- who have never suffered a day in their lives- terrorists like the Taliban usually go through some radicalizing event caused by poor life circumstances. That absolutely does not excuse or condone the horrible things they do, of course.

Also, Somali pirates and the Taliban were explicitly mentioned because this comment is in response to a couple of their former hostages saying said groups supplied them with soap and toothpaste, which the US government refuses to give to migrants. You can stop misinterpreting and derailing this post now, thanks.

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Wherever you are, Lyra my little summer star, I love you always! Thank you for being the best thing in my life.

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.
