this means it is not open for transit

I think this stuff is a combination of trying to emphasize how Trump is enriching the wealthy at the expense of everyone else and the more general eat the rich mindset, but embracing it looks like short term gains for long term entrenchment of anti tax sentiment across the spectrum.

2 panel comic Panel 1 is titled “Client Feedback (2012) Red Guy sits at his desk typing on his laptop. There is a bubble on the right hand side of the panel showing his screen. A small text panel says “and the”. There is an arrow pointing to the bottom of the words with a correction box that reads: “Text is slightly misaligned.

This time the correction reads “not alphabet but who give a fuck”

A Harkonen joke, implying Shai Hulud would allow for this method of conveying spice

It's always really funny and really interesting to see who has literally never ever seen a cargo ship

Weird. “DeBiase” doesn’t sound like a Somalian name.

The First Alert smoke detector just started low-battery chirping while my kid was sleeping, but I don't have any 9v batteries lying around, so I simply removed the battery. That didn't fix the problem. So I unplugged it. That didn't fix the problem. Now it's in the fridge.

Great work, everybody.

UPDATE: There is no war, this is a war, the war ends soon, the war is just beginning, Iran’s nuclear program is gone, Iran could have a nuke in 2 weeks, Iran has no navy, Iran is planting mines, Iran is weak, Iran could attack California, oil is down which is good, oil is up which is good.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

So many red state races are something like..

Democrat: War hero with a master's degree in public policy who was caught on camera running into a burning building to rescue orphans.
Republican: Adjudicated sex pest who inherited dad's car dealership.

We need an AI that turns Rembrandts into stick figures. Same difference

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

And just so anyone doesn’t misread and take offense at this I’m talking about Andrew Cuomo. Not about everyone in New York City who owns a car. I own a car. It’s just that I realize that that car imposes costs that I’m willing to pay.

A sculpture with 76 pencils.

I just made this design, based on the "72 Pencils" sculptures by George Hart: www.georgehart.com/sculpture/pe.... George's design consists of 72 pencils arranged in a triangular lattice. His bundles of 18 pencils are arranged in a hollow hexagon pattern and are glued together. In this version, I

Here's my bottom line:

Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

I see this a lot in the church these days. Churches that are still trying to “rise above everything that divides us” are pretty much signaling to me that they’re not serious about my belovedness before God.

In other news I explained this meme to my EMDR therapist this morning and she lost her shit laughing

I have a thought about the ambient conversation.

Performative support for marginalized groups is a good thing, but it is mostly to let fuckheads know that they need to reexamine their assumption that fuckheadedness is commonplace.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Actually it’s just me going on and on about my fantasy league draft as the trapped players have to nod politely.

virtue signaling is good! it's good to signal virtue, it's good to practice virtue! it's bad to be so cynical and bitter that you can't even see that.

in a world where cruelty is being exported at scale both online and in the streets, it is extremely important to share your values and to signal to other people what you think is right.
