Fortunately Trump is gutting the EPA so this won’t last long
It’s been a little over hundred years since fishermen were free to catch shellfish in the Boston Harbor. But now, the state has declared that shellfish from parts of the harbor can be safely caught and eaten again.

Garfield’s $3 meal

I bet dumbass GOP people think this is what restaurants pay per meal and are ripping them off.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

I wish we could just find someone to tell him that the US bought Greenland and that we need him to design a Northern White House to be built there with a 100,000 ft^2 ballroom and a coal-fired heating system.
“.. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt speak to the media after meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss American interests in Greenland.”

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

House Democrats just DEFEATED a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education."

6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.

Early Dilbert could be incredibly on point at times, and it's important to acknowledge that rather than pretend it was always terrible.

Scott Adams getting high on his own hype, emerging from his hate chrysalis, then doubling down on it, was very odd. He poisoned his own legacy well before death.

Despite wall-to-wall promotion, a cross-country tour, and interviews with top Trump officials, Tony Dokoupil’s "CBS Evening News" debut has delivered a ratings dud—and perhaps exposed the limits of Bari Weiss' MAGA-ification of the network.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.

Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

One thing that's always been true about Sotomayor is that she, more than any other justice, focuses on the litigants before her. All the others focus more on the larger legal issue of the case, but Sotomayor never takes her eye off the ball of the people involved.
It's my favorite thing about her.

For today's horribles: the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on banning trans athletes. It's the most bigoted thing they'll do this term. I'll be jotting down my thoughts here.

I was a pretty big Dilbert fan when it was getting started but I drifted away when it got same-same. Then Adams turned into such a right-wing asshole. Techbro adjacent.

I hope this is the story of how The Flying Dutchman lost a hand
For 18 months, I had to keep the secret that I didn't just voice The Flying Dutchman in the SpongeBob movie, but I also played him in live-action sequences. The hours it took flew by thanks to superb makeup artists Gage Munster & Marcel Banks who were both so kind AND hilarious. 🤣 Thanks fellas! 🙏
