Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

Six Ships. I'm very much in the Chris Foss school of thought when it comes to colour, rather than SW or ST.

This will never be me - I bought an M4 Mac Air just before my book tour - but I think the premise of "device hoarding" here is ridiculous. With every major purchase, buy as well as you can and then use that thing until you can't use it any more. That's just sensible.

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

Treehoppers are wild! Like someone hit the "random" button on the character creator.

Look at this weird bug, Cladonota apicalis. from Ecuador.
Now imagine a horse shaped like this, or a wolf!

Why do treehoppers have such weird shapes?
It's a mystery! But we have some ideas.

Lack of communication, conflict avoidance and grudge retention will be the death of friendships.

Address issues, find resolutions and forgive. If you are unable to, just call it off and go your separate ways. Don't let the rot fester.

Bari Weiss thinks CBS’ path to relevancy is more Alan Dershowitz. We couldn’t make it up if we tried

She also clearly says something we have said for years: all media has a bias. “charismatic centrism” is just her way of being very clear objectivity is a myth as she plans to Newsmaxify the network

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.

I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

Just because I'm the writer/director of TADC doesn't mean I deserve all the credit for everything. There MANY times when a board artist or an animator will come up with a detail or shot that elevate the themes/characterization in a way I didn't even think of, and I'm like "fuuuuuck that's genius..."
