fuck every reporter in that room who, after that answer, did not interrupt her every remark with "Quiet, piggy!"
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

No notes.
The officer was "heading for duty" Wednesday night when his "weapon discharged and he accidentally shot himself in the testicles" in the station's parking lot, records show.

Gonna build a Raspberry Pi running only an Intellivision emulator, housed inside a gutted Intellivision console, with the actual Intellivision controllers, that has the full catalog of every Intellivision game ever made & precisely ZERO of my IRL friends will care or want to play.

fuck every organization, brand, and media outlet that still posts and "advertises" on X.
An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.

Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

U.S. legislators: "Soldiers and sailors, if you are ordered to kill someone and you believe the order is unlawful, don't do it. Remember your oath to The Constitution.
U.S. President: "Kill the legislators."

Am I missing something? Anything at all?
I still have characters left, if so.

Do yourself a favor:give yourself the gift of this brilliant hour. The volume & layers &progressions& recursions of jokes that stand alone but also loop back on or modify each other act as a kind of force multiplier of funny in the most delightful way. @myqkaplan.bsky.social knocks it outta the park

How are we ever going to unfuck ALL of the things they've fucked beyond recognition? There will have to be a whole new "Department of Decency."
Uh. This just in.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

My senator, with the proper energy.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

It's crazy that Erwin Schrödinger is known for the cat thing, and not his equation that solves all of reality. Crazier still that nobody talks about how he was a MONSTROUS PEDOPHILE and predator who felt that his own genius should grant him a "get out of jail free" card. Dude was vile.

The limitations of the 4 color separation process and cheap paper, along with the "hand-off" to letterers created a visual language & form that is more immediate & enjoyable than high-fidelity printing and digital composition. The older comics process made a more solid thing, in the end total.
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

This looks like a cartoony scene from a dystopian Cannon Films movie from 1983.
Donald Trump’s meeting with Mohammed bin Salman was a grim update on the status of the political change in both their countries, Graeme Wood argues:
Trump’s Self-Damning Response to a Legitimate Question
The president scolded a reporter for “embarrassing” Mohammed bin Salman. But MBS seemed less aggrieved than Trump.

Remembering my friend Steve Lightle, on his birthday today. He was a brilliant artist who LOVED his craft, but beyond that, he was a kind, decent, good man and a loving dad & grandfather, gone far too soon. 💔

The most disturbing part of THE TERMINATOR is that Sarah Connor falls in love and does it with a guy who is wearing a filthy, poop-stained, vomit-encrusted pair of pants stolen from a hobo.
