cool kevin

this is why i make art. and that includes hellgatecity.com. if you encounter a show that you connect with and enjoy, please do tell the creator(s)! working in the digital realm can feel impersonal and isolating. these sort of kind words are deeply rejuvenating.

Check this out.

I love dogs but if canines forced a human into acts of bestiality we should disqualify those pooches.

selling out to the tech industry comes with a good payday

From @blakewexler.bsky.social : “United Health Care wrote a letter TO OUR BABIES denying coverage for our twins stay in the NICU…” 🤔 😳 #MedicareforAllNOW

ANTHROPIC: Our son loves humanity and for the low price of trillions and trillions of dollars will usher in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity! OPENAI: Our horrible oafish son is hacking web sites without our permission. ANTHROPIC: (eyes narrowing) Our son is also evil

Spain won multiple times against Argentina in this game. They out-passed, out-played, out-cooperated, and out-worked a team with so many cheating advantages, overlooked fouls, and free kicks. The Trump curse is real. The fascist curse is real. Amazing victory by España!

Trump regime wants you to believe that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo who spent 35 years in the U.S. building homes, raising a family, and contributing to his community suddenly became a cop killer. That’s BS. They murdered him like Renee good and Alex pretti. This is what fascism looks like.

being in the DSA is fun because you get to spend most of your time helping people with social anxiety canvass for democratic school board candidates and then go online to see people with blue wave emojis in their bios compare you to pol pot

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

Credible allegations of sexual assault cannot be ignored. Voters in Maine deserve a choice for US Senate that doesn’t force them to make a moral compromise between sexual violence or corporate servitude.

after hearing the latest Graham Platner accusation, i'm convinced: we need to abolish the Senate

The sexual assault allegation against Platner looks credible to me. And he should obviously do the right thing. The chorus of vitriolic I-told-you-so folks attacking Mainers seems dubious. OK. Say we get a DSA member of good character w/ the same policies ME Ds voted for—you're 100% on board now?

Haaland reps the norse viking energy I know well from the manga Vinland Saga--making me a full viking authority. Not hard to imagine Norway going all the way with this team. As an honorary Brazilian, I am crestfallen. But also this is my first time watching multiple soccer games since 2nd grade.

Brazil v Norway is so far a game of superhuman goalies.

This Day in Labor History: July 5, 1935. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the National Labor Relations Act. This created real labor law and allowed unions to survive. Let's talk about the most important labor law in American history!

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Happy 250th & mournful remembrance of the 4M Native Americans genocided and robbed of 98% of their ancestral homelands by our colonies and nation, which relied deeply upon enslaved Africans. Genocide, slavery, and tyranny suck. Free Palestine. Free us from wage slavery. Impeach, convict, and remove!

Giving us 5% of a company that's $27 billion in the red is like offering up your berth on the Titanic right after it hits the iceberg.

absolute cinema

DSA candidates are still a tiny minority in government, so keep calm and carry on. Wait till we uncap the House and sweep 300 new seats, win the 2028 Presidency, and vote to admit D.C. as 127 states of 30k people each to amend the Constitution and fix all the crap centrists let fascists do. #DSA

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

Nope. 1) Reverse Project 2025 and prosecute every crook involved. 2) Congress admits DC as 127 states of 30,000 people a piece. 3) Amend the Constitution to lock in democracy and one person, one vote. All it takes is a simple majority and courage.👇 harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

Brazil vs. Japan World Cup game in Houston, TX, 94° F, 34.4° C, 53% humidity. Is the most dangerous opponent here Brazil or climate change?

Dang this Brazil v Japan WC game is electric. They're both going full bore. This feels like it could go either way from moment to moment. If all games were like this I might turn hooligan.

HAPPY PRIDE! FUCK ICE! FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE!

Mamdani walking in the NYC Pride Parade!!!

The thing is, Mamdani's position is the only correct position for anyone who truly believes in the universality of human rights, not to mention the best framework for a durable peace. And people keep asking him like he's some sort of freak for holding it. And he keeps answering. Good for him.

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

The next administration of the USA will be making a huge mistake if they don't rename the country The United Socialists of America. #USA #socialist #union #america #politics

This was still up after Darializa beat Espaillat by 2,300 votes and a few percent. We're told by neoliberals that markets are the ground truth, but they get manipulated and gamed all the time. Their reason for being is profit for their owners, not truth or prediction. People carve paths. #DSA #truth

It's NY Primary Day!

Vote today Tuesday June 23rd in NY: dsa.nyc/vote #vote #nyc #socialist #darializa

Da fuck?

We can’t let AIPAC buy another seat in Congress.

Tomorrow (TUE June 23) is Primary Election Day in NY. Vote! I say vote for Democratic Socialists* and candidates endorsed by Mayor Mamdani so we have friends in D.C. committed to holding the powerful accountable and fighting for working-class folks. But, VOTE! * socialists.nyc/candidates/ #NYC

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

Happy Father's Day! Nearly every one of us shot out of our dad's dick into a life-or-death swimming contest and emerged a champion. Onwards.

His toughest opponent yet turned out to be photosynthesis. #AlgaeGate

I do not want a deskilled proctologist, brain surgeon, or literally anyone whose job is to stick stuff into my body.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?
