Comics drawing of artist Rose O’Neill, sketching a Cupid-like “Kewpie Doll” on a canvas, w 10 imaginary dolls floating around her. Art by Wendy Xu for Kazoo magazine #39.

Rose O’Neill, creator of the wildly popular, & lucrative, “Kewpie Dolls,” kept a standing reservation at an NYC restaurant for any artist who needed a meal. “You can’t make art if you’re always hungry,” she said.

Certainly that is the only way they'd have luck getting my gay money back.

Blue coastal cities looking at red states: thanks for nothing

The US bombed an elementary girls school. They will do anything to retaliate. And its easy to see why. Tragedy upon tragedy.

Jesus Christ.

These ppl are never going to stop fighting back, and it’s easy to understand why.

Well if anyone can sell “Fun! Stylish!” It’s the former COO w that barber.

He’s an absolute psychopath.

She looks so … normal? But also “will do anything for approval.” And she sure did.

When I was a bookseller in the 90's we kept that book behind the counter and would only sell it to ppl over 18.

“Strange” is very kind!

He’s a psychopath. Our founders would be horrified by this man.

This man is a psychopath. Our founders would be horrified by everything he is saying.

“Punching them while they are down” like a psychopath who can’t even do pull-ups. What a waste of lives and money and any goodwill the USA had around the world. Our founders would be horrified by this man.

I do miss that one magnolia room spray.

Everything else, I can get at Costco. And more of it!

From that article, they don't appear to be doing anything at all differently? They promoted a guy from within who wants to make it "buzzy"? No explanation about why they even capitulated on DEI and Pride. Good luck, I guess.

Our taxes

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

When he says "they should have given it sooner."

Why is no one asking: Given exactly what? And directly to whom??? Since the "tariff shelf" is empty somebody please check in his cryptocoin bank.

Once their people were sold on the "master race" idea, it was easy for the fascists to make them feel that other people were of no more consequence than vermin. We think nothing of killing a cockroach. They were encouraged to think nothing of killing unarmed and defenseless men, women, and children. Many even got to enjoy it. Hence Rotterdam, Lidice, Maidanek. By all these devices, fascism creates and then is driven by forces that cannot be stopped at will. Fascism cannot stand still. Its internal and external policies are rooted in aggression. It must expand or explode. It must conquer or perish. Every measure taken by fascism-its entire economic, social, political, and military set-up-means eventual war. The war comes when intimidation and terror fail as instruments of fascist foreign policy. The war comes when other nations finally refuse further to appease the insatiable hunger of fascism for markets, military glory, and world domination. from: https://ia801608.us.archive.org/21/items/ArmyTalkOrientationFactSheet64-Fascism/Fascism64.pdf

"Every measure taken by fascism — its entire economic, social, political, and military set-up — means eventual war."

from "Army Talk: Fascism," 1945. This was given to US soldiers to understand their enemy, but now describes us.

So sad for my country. 🇺🇸

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

“They should’ve made a deal” always meant w him, personally.

“So successful”

Maybe ChatGPT (or whatever) didn’t have this information, so how could they have anticipated retaliation?

Oh, the little girls in that school.

It’s @condimentraccoon.bsky.social !

It’s the total disrespect of announcing war in ball cap really got me. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social says “bring back shame” and we could also use some dignity. I wish we had a little dignity.
