Jeffy from family circus is drawing tells his dad to hold still or he won't get him right. But he's drawing the promo poster from the movie The Snowman, which has a crude sketch of a snowman and it says "mister police. You could have saved her. I gave you all the clues"

Omg, it's the same person who was mad that the word "racist" got put in the headline of an article about Trump telling four American women in congress to go back to their home countries

No, you don't gotta hand it to him for possibly getting the third Biden cease fire eight months late after tolerating a mass starvation campaign and demanding a little ethnic cleansing and enormous bribes as a treat, and only because Netanyahu surprise bombed the chief bribe facilitator.

So basically this is Iranian Hostage Crisis 2.0, just with a 9-month delay in the payoff for no particular reason.

Il Pomodoro @dabenner.bsky.social · 5h

This seems like confirmation

Then Mr. Trump won the presidency back, and the Biden administration was determined to get a cease-fire in place by January, before it left office. It drafted a peace plan, much of which was quite similar to the “20 point plan” Mr. Trump recently issued. There was slow progress: More than 130 hostages had been released by the time the January cease-fire took place.

“We handed over a cease-fire that silenced the guns, had hostages coming out and aid going in, along with a day-after plan to make it permanent,” Mr. Blinken said. But when the new administration took over, “the moment was squandered,” he added. “Israel and Hamas went back to war for eight months.”

Israeli officials tell a different story. Mr. Biden was a lame duck, they noted, and disengaged. Mr. Trump was a known entity, less likely to lecture Mr. Netanyahu in private or public. They put their money on a new president, and a new negotiating team

My son just showed me this one

Xkcd comic of stick figures in front of a huge tree

One says "Did you know the mighty redwood is actually the same species as broccoli and kale? It's just a different cultivar."

"Wow!"

Caption: every year or two, botanists add another plant to brassica oleracea and see if anyone calls them on it."

Jalapeños on top is a weird choice

Picture of the O'Spicy. Possibly a tortilla wrapped around stuff, including spicy chicken tenders, something called samurai sauce, jalapeños, fries, and cheese nuggets. It there's also a melted slice of cheese and more sliced jalapeños on top of it

It's striking that even in the defenses of Bari Weiss's broader thing no one ever says that she or her website does good work. Even the people that admire the success she's had selling lite reactionary shit to rich old guys top out at "people do seem to like it." You could defend Jake Paul that way.
