you live in a boxcar *one time* and they call you "the boxcar children" forever

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“

Remember Garfield Minus Garfield? I feel like this version of Christianity is Bible Minus Jesus

Isaac Bashevis Singer being interviewed about the Super Bowl

In 1979, the “New York Times” asked Isaac Bashevis Singer if he planned to watch the Super Bowl.

I thought this was counter-programming for the half-time show? Are they not airing it at the same time?

I converted to Catholicism a couple weeks ago. Here’s what I think Jesus got wrong.

Ooo, I need to see that one. My favorite is Grand Budapest Hotel, but my appreciate for his movies in general is certainly growing.

Some of you never read watership down as a child and it shows

Prayers coming your way!

Welcome to February. As a reminder, under no circumstances should you make major life decisions this month that are not strictly required of you.

Got fired from my marketing job at the anti-deforestation NGO for pitching my “Mourning Wood” campaign.

Every time the roads get icy I think of you now lol

An old tweet of mine from 2021 saying “We used to have Gingerbread Men in this country. Nowadays all we have is Gingerbread Them. Retweet if you support nuclear war with China”

Government accounts just post like this now and that’s how policy is made

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate

Can magnetic fridge poetry show contrition. Do dice feel pain. Is this calculator my friend.

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

Think of them as celebrating the end of 2025

Blue 5.5x8.5” zine with pink cover image of Far Side “Cow tools” cartoon but the cow has Dennis the Menace’s head. Title text: Dennis Tools

Cartoon: Dennis at the door holding a hose, pointing behind him at a kid washing a car, his mom looking on in distress Caption: "Sally, this is Larry and his brother, Eddie.... Larry used to be an only child until the gardener hacked him in half."

Cartoon 1: Dennis in class whispering to classmate Caption 1: “Now here comes the barbaric finale.” Cartoon 2: Dennis at church with his parents talking to the priest Caption 2: “Wow, this place is really packed—or maybe it’s just my compound eyes.”

Cartoon: Dennis looking at a globe with two other children Caption: “Of course, long before you mature, most of you will be eaten.”

My gift to my other brother was a 28-page zine of Dennis the Menace cartoons with captions from The Far Side, inspired by the time a newspaper in Dayton repeatedly switched the captions for The Far Side and Dennis the Menace

It is very telling and also heartbreaking that, to a man like this, love means a willingness to do harm for. I don't think this man's father ever showed him love.

I hope everyone has a cozy night with their loved ones this evening. I won’t, though, because I have to head up to Nakatomi Plaza thanks to my flippin’ boss scheduling the holiday office party ON CHRISTMAS EVE WTF (🧵)

Impressive! What a great game!

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Are you looking for a last minute gift for a game designer in your life?

CATO INSTITUTE:

Despite DOGE slashing jobs, government spending in every month of 2025 “was greater than in every other year .. An observer who did not know when DOGE started could not identify it” on a chart. 🤡

Downloaded it and played the tutorial, it's fun!

Can I ask what the discount is? I don't see it listed.

Ah yes, how I always get my information on how much the things I buy cost: the news.

Any thoughts on which set you prefer? From my brief time playing the app a bit it seems like some focus more on tempo, some on card advantage, etc.
