Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

The fact that the building now says "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" makes it sound like Trump's dead

Now Playing:

i think i have a pretty good Last Temptation of Christ poster in me if anyone's paying for one

New Data shows at least 3,800 children, including infants, have been put in detention since Trump took office. Many were held for long stretches. “There is no other way to describe it; it’s a jail for children," one parent said. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/12/17/c...

Counterpoint: Without my "Charmin Wrapped" how would I have known that on August 3rd I used 192 feet of Charmin Ultra Strong in just one session, that might be an actual record, also, as an aside, there's a limit to how long you can let pizza sit unrefrigerated and it's apparently less than six days

(cheerfully clocking in for my first shift as the prince's whipping boy) alright boss who we whippin first

Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

Libby Wrapped 2025

Best I can figure, the lifeguard is about to go off the top rope and give these girls the Atomic Drop.

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle

CELEBRATED SUMMER by Charles Forsman (Fantagraphics, 2013): just about the perfect comic for Where I’m At right now — a really sharp bit of emotional avoidance. Quite taken with this one; between this and TEOTFW, Forsman has a special way of making books that read super fast without feeling slight.

It’s pronounced Christmas jifts

tfw you’re fucking the lasagna man for lasagna

If you ever want to see more of something you read but don't feel like you can do anything about it because you're not an influencer or a publisher or a journalist, even just leaving a five star review online moves the needle. Even telling a friend "you'd like this too"!

The feeling I felt watching was familiar but I couldn't place it for a few minutes....then I realised....I felt the way I feel when I'm at a party and Cards Against Humanity comes out.

TRUMP: and this Daniel, he went into the den? MAMDANI: The lion's den, yes TRUMP: surely they ate him MAMDANI: Here's the part where it gets a little Broadway: they didn't TRUMP: Unbelievable

My hot take is that no one serving in congress should have enough free time to write a book.

”I’d take a bullet for you, just like dad did for that pot roast he heroically saved…”

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Printers and computers treat each other like they broke up the night before and you’re they’re mutual friend

wrong

There’s a simple solution here: James Bond in Hell. He has sex with the Devil’s wife, kills the Devil by kicking him out of a helicopter, etc.

I don’t understand why every Frankenstein movie has to put the laboratory in a crazy castle instead of in a plain ordinary college student's apartment like the original book.

:stares in 1929:

Starbucks workers voted to authorize a strike, they are not yet on strike. They could be on strike by November 13.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Today gives me hope. Maybe one day I will have an aloof cartoonist wife too.

indie cartoonists should celebrate Mayer more. Not only was he a great cartoonist, but editorial stint as DCs humor editor is, for my money, the best run of humor comics ever done (excepting john stanely who cant be topped).

The first Nazi concentration camps were built to ”solve the problem” of the mentally ill and the homeless in German cities. First you build it to solve one “problem“ then you expand what the definition of the problem is. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

This is epic trolling. Absolutely epic.

We Are All Poochie Now

Anyone want an entire collection of Deleter screentones? (Need to be able to pick up from Tokyo because I don’t want to mail this). I don’t think I’ll be using this and it makes me sad to just toss all these tones

The Isle of Elsi Book Three Kickstarter is running for one more week! (ending on the morning of Thursday October 30th). We've already hit the goal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon... You can still back it to pre-order the book or get discounted copies of books one and two. Thanks, everyone!

I have a new comic available from Radiator comics! Its a 3-color risograph comic that answers the age old questio: what if Victor Frankenstein had reanimated a day time game show host? www.radiatorcomics.com/shop/uncateg...

Hear @trufelman.bsky.social, host of Articles of Interest podcast, talk about her new season, where she explores the link between the U.S. military and the clothes we all wear, like t-shirts, chore jackets and more. www.wnyc.org/story/the-mi...

our "smart" coffee machine at work is broken today. I made a joke about it being related to the AWS outage but then we looked in the back and it's plugged into ethernet

"Goood werk offiseers. But surly by now de jewls, they are kilometers from heere, no? Anyvey, I have zee plane I must be catching. Chow."

Brb just writing a screenplay about a struggling inflatable costume factory in a wholesome but dying American small town that unexpectedly helps save democracy, and democracy saves it right back.

Ad from 1957.
