Senior ICE officer Kody, age 32, tells me he’s been deployed away from home for nearly six months, having been sent to both Los Angeles and Minneapolis. “I miss my wife,” he said, “but I guess that’s just how restraining orders work.”

Time for dentist today. Love seeing the CareCredit number go up! Incidentally I have a bunch of stuff to sell like these prints for instance. octophant.us/gel-prints

Never been a problem a bunch of goons getting paid for just standing around couldn't solve

Llamas at home

Contemporary sculpture is way, way down my list of what I’d like sent into space

Reposting this from earlier because the original had no ALT and Its such a good picture.

Bitch I don’t even know how I generate images in my own visual style

Anyone else have the chorus of Shellac’s ‘Prayer to God’ in their head a lot lately?

I’ve been hearing versions of this joke my whole life and no one has ever implied it’s more than an absurdist non-joke and I am quite old. Also the assumption of death is odd. I grew up in places where chickens crossed roads without incident more often than not.

Meanwhile bike fuel prices have not changed at Costco.

Nobody dislikes the star wars prequels because they believe trade routes aren't important

Going to be such a time when a thousand people in a security line get to watch someone get summarily executed for not taking their laptop out of their bag in a sufficiently respectful manner

My son is so based

I'm losing it at this delivery robot getting absolutely smoked by the Brightline train in Florida 🤖🚅

If the answer weren’t spoiled in the title of the video this would be one of those ‘you’ll never be able to guess what this is advertising’ things

I know it had been too long since I’d watched San Raimi’s original Spider-Man movie because I’d forgotten my favorite shot

For the people who are very grimly declaiming that bsky is Bad At News, you know you're on the dumdum goofaround site, right?

I’ve been seeing a lot of tiny dragon moray eels lately. So cute...!!

The latest episode of The Pitt seemed a bit far fetched as I don’t believe ICE would take anyone they had injured to the hospital

Catching up on all the latest

In frankly horrific news today, at 12.50pm, Pacific Standard Time, it will be the 20th anniversary exactly of the first ever tweet. Yup. Twenty fucking years. Still, it did later give us one of the world’s great headlines...

Some day Americans will learn that ‘turn travel time into productivity’ just means public transportation

That should be me

I posted the first drawing that said ‘maybe it will happen today’ on it a year ago. Seems longer.

So I watched this short doc about the wildlife in the exclusion zone around the Fukushima reactor. Everyone thought everything would be sick/dying but they are doing great. Boars, macaques, civets, raccoons, deer, all having the time of their lives without people. Been thinking about it often.

ducks forever problems for now

One millisecond before I pushed the button this splash was a muskrat

Maybe someday ‘endangered rhino’ won’t necessarily be a redundancy

It’s the birthday of Fed Rogers, my greatest art role model

If you're determined to stan a mustachioed caucasian action star I'm happy to report Franco Nero is still alive

Few have been less deserving of widespread meme-ing than Chuck Norris

I don’t understand why we even bother with non-flying squirrels these are much better

It’s illegal to put a living person on US currency, and the Treasury Department plans to issue a Trump coin later this year. Eh? Eh?

They’re all just trying to invent The Money Machine, where they pour money into one end, turn the crank, and some greater amount of money comes out the other end—ideally with a minimum of workers or social value. See, e.g., crypo, gambling, etc.

It's so depressing seeing all these long-established and presumably quite financially comfortable actors who cannot for the life of them pass up a paycheck no matter who they're working for.
