You'd be surprised how many self-proclaimed "ultra liberals" are really "I don't want my privilege to be intruded upon".

YES THIS YES THIS.

So my Monster sculpt just earned a staff pick on Sketchfab which means it's featured on a feed that goes out to about half a million users. I feel like I've arrived

Hey, that's really cool! Congratulations on having the quality of your work recognized!

Minor typo, meant to say compulsive, not serial.

I would say that both are accurate.

Lightning vagina is a thing apparently.  Also not as cool as it sounds.

More like SUDDEN CROTCH STAB STAB STAB.

I hate that shit.

A coolant hose snapped/melted/tore off, so I removed the broken bit and crammed the hose back on without its sensor, or whatever, and now I'm back and beer/bed.

You are a magnificent beast.

Right on, P3nT4gR4m!

Happy to be of service! 

I LOVE this one.

And luxury taxes... if I have to pay a luxury tax just because I buy a yacht, why don't other people who don't buy yachts have to pay it too? Not buying a yacht is no excuse to not pay taxes!

What really burns me up is that cyclists don't have to pay gas tax. And don't even get me started on how not everyone has to pay business taxes... why should some people be exempt just because they work for someone else?

UK's Farage 'person of interest' in Trump-Russia investigation: Guardian

"One of the things the intelligence investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved," the Guardian quoted one source as saying. "If you triangulate Russia, WikiLeaks, Assange and Trump associates the person who comes up with the most hits is Nigel Farage."

"He's right in the middle of these relationships. He turns up over and over again. There's a lot of attention being paid to him."

Damn, it'd be hilarious if this investigation opened up a whole rat's nest. 

That's probably the most relatable Frankenstein's Monster I've ever seen, short of the first film adaptation. He actually looks sad, and not just dumbly horrific.

Damn, he's quite the artist, eh? At first glance I thought it was a giant pug shit, rather than the pug itself. Second and third glance later It's still what I'm seeing. So the bull I always thought was rough as fuck. Proportions off by a fucking mile and legs that bear no resemblance to the animal they're attached to. The little girl on the other hand is pretty fucking tasty. Impressionist for sure but dripping attitude and conveying the emotion clear as a bell, compared to a bull which basically says nothing beyond "I'm mean and if I was a real bull I wouldn't be able to walk cos I don't have any shoulder muscles." Bull might have had "integrity" but it certainly wasn't anatomical.

Little girl wins the sculpt-off from where I'm sitting

Agreed, the girl is the best piece of work in the trifecta. She exudes defiance like an unmowable dandelion.

Really, despite its anatomical flaws (looks like Toro the bull from old Looney Tunes!) I quite like the sense of movement, or impending aggression, the bull captures.

The dog, on the other hand, is shite from a shite artist.

Everyone else is invited to post their own resources and thoughts here as well, and they don't have to be limited to racial issues; any issue of social justice is appropriate, whether it be related to race, sex, gender, orientation, or ability. I'd love to add a collection of links to articles on how to talk to people about the ways toxic masculinity oppresses men, for example.

I might have gone right on thinking that the Charging Bull is a symbol of patriarchy via capitalism if he hadn't so thoughtfully and articulately deconstructed its symbolism by informing us that "the bull had integrity". Which obviously, Fearless Girl not only lacks in herself, but also detracts from Charging Bull, robbing that former symbol of raw unbridled masculine dominance of its own integrity and emasculating it by virtue of her very existence diametric to it, just as women do to the male artists themselves simply by existing.

Annoying "Yappy Dog" statue added to Fearless Girl and Charging Bull installation, to symbolize ineffectual whining of MRAs.

There's just so much here to point at. It's like a piece of art.

Seriously.
