I’m sticking with cartoons and memes today. It all is so grotesque.
Then this…
And finally some MAGA porn:
That last one may cause you to wash your eyes with bleach after viewing.
This cartoon explains the Groypers.

Ugh…it all makes me sick.

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

I am so depressed over everything. It is overwhelming.
I know. It’s hard not to be overwhelmed by all this nihilism and nastiness.
Was there even an autopsy? Isn’t that necessary for the prosecution? It seems like they released the body so quickly.
I find it highly ironic that right-wingers are now asking for “political correctness” in response to Charlie Kirk’s hate speech. Isn’t treating speech like this, normalizing horrid behavior when it’s labeled as speaking ill of the dead? Should we rewrite our textbooks about Hitler, Mussolini, George Wallace, Saddam Hussein, Stalin, and Mao, and other icky people, just to refuse to speak ill of them because they’re dead? I don’t get it at all. Who even thought of that don’t speak ill of the dead, old school, behave-shaming meme?
I used to be Methodist. Here’s my take:
https://www.patheos.com/blogs/thebalancingpath/2021/02/speak-honestly-of-the-dead-even-if-it-means-speaking-ill-of-them/
Elsewise, we start sounding like this … I better speak badly about Putin now because when he’s dead, I’ll be breaking some ancient Greek saying.
I’m sorry students if I have to speak badly of Pol Pot since he’s dead, but we should learn about what he did in Cambodia.
You know, George Wallace did questionable things to black people while governor but we must’nt talk about him… speaking ill of the dead and all is not allowed
Yeah, let’s talk about the hypocrisy in those piety performances … sounds a lot like Political Correctness to me.
“How the concept of “don’t speak ill of the dead” is typically utilized is fraught with dismissal and erasure. Every time someone problematic dies, it is nearly inevitable to hear statements of “don’t speak ill of the dead,” but who does that idea serve? What benefit does it have? Certainly, if we want to learn from the past and honor those who have been harmed by people now deceased, we must speak honestly of the dead, even if being honest means speaking ill.”
So, doesn’t not speaking ill of dead Hitler erase the Jewish community or what?
I guess they’d prefer people like me just die. I’m a cancer survivor. Had my treatment at a research hospital in Nebraska and lived despite the prognonsis. Both my surgeon and the doctor who developed my chemo treatment were highly skilled researchers in the field.
How the Trump Administration Is Dismantling America’s Cancer-Research System
Here are the takeaways from The New York Times Times Magazine article on how the cancer-research system, which has helped save millions of lives, is under threat in one of its most productive moments.
Since President Richard Nixon declared war on cancer more than 50 years ago, America’s cancer-research system has been a triumph of government-funded science. Although some 40 percent of Americans will still get a cancer diagnosis at some point in their life, this sprawling research system — which reaches into universities all across the country — has yielded decades of minor breakthroughs that has saved millions of lives and improve the quality of life for those undergoing cancer treatments.
Today, with the benefits of decades of accrued knowledge and new advances in technology, cancer researchers are on the brink of further breakthroughs that could enable doctors to detect possible tumors earlier and treat them more effectively and with fewer short- and long-term side effects. But the Trump administration’s sweeping cuts to American cancer research are putting the entire system — and with it, future progress — in jeopardy.
For my magazine article, I spoke to 50 members of America’s biomedical-research establishment — medical-school administrators; government-funded researchers; former directors and current and former program officers and officials at the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute.
Here are the key takeaways from the full article.
