If they want a revolution, they would revolt.

They aren't. They're running, poorly, in an election, where they will be 100% ineffectual and their message, if it's heard at all, completely forgotten.

Back in the 70s my mom went to a Halloween party as Aunt Jemima. It was in poor taste even back THEN.

They aren't running for a revolution, if they were, they wouldn't be on the ballot for an election.

It's all performative nonsense.

They do need to win an election to end capitalism, because they have no power unless they win.

They can literally do absolutely nothing to accomplish their goal unless they win, but then since they mathematically can't win either, all they can do is yell impotently into the void.

They aren't going to end capitalism if they don't win.

The best they can hope to do is take votes away from Harris ensuring a Trump win, which is 180° the opposite of their message.

On the ballot in 19 states totalling 220 electoral college votes.

Who wants to tell them you need 270 to win?

Oh, they didn't ignore it, they endorsed it!

Cheaper than a ground up design. But I think you can start the clock until someone uses a grinder and cuts the gun right off.

"io9 has reached out to Max for comment and clarification on the removal, and whether or not the departures were intentional updates to Max’s catalogue or if, like the recent situation with Over the Garden Wall on Hulu, an oversight that will be corrected."

Artwork doesn't re-Photoshop itself accidentally. This was all intentional.

Substack blogs are not vetted news sources. I don't doubt the story, but the community needs a better source.

Carlin used to joke about the India / Pakistan conflict. "Ancient hatreds with modern weapons!"

 

For those who missed it, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel, it appears to be over for now, but who knows how long?

 
 

"The man destroyed the large blue and white Porcelain Cube at a busy private opening for the exhibition “Who am I?” at Palazzo Fava in Bologna on the evening of September 21. Local police arrested a 57-year-old Czech man who has been identified in Italian media as Vaclav Pisvejc, a provocateur and self-proclaimed artist known for targeting important works of art."

 

"The bag could have been there a day or two or maybe just hours, but those salty morsels of processed corn made soft by thick humidity triggered the growth of mold on the cavern floor and on nearby cave formations.

“To the ecosystem of the cave it had a huge impact,” the park noted in a social media post, explaining that cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organized to eat and disperse the foreign mess, essentially spreading the contamination."

 

Paranormal pants.

 

"The Alberto Gonzales who authorized torture and war crimes under the George W. Bush administration and then said 'I don't recall' 50+ times under oath when questioned about it? THAT Alberto Gonzales?"

 

Really you don't need to read more than one chart:

If you vote for anyone other than Harris, you're voting for Trump:

 

Happy 10th Anniversary to Doug and Kamala! Now that he's opened that particular door, there is a non-zero chance that voicemail gets played tonight. ;)
