Lindsay Graham pitching Kharg Island invasion at the White House. He stands up and slowly writes the words IWO JIMA on the whiteboard, pauses and puts a cross stroke on the first "I": TWO JIMA. Everyone applauds.

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.

It's remarkable how perfectly this awful story is similar to The Dreyfuss Affair, from the banishment to a cruel tropical prison to the world's worst and stupidest people refusing to let it go even for decades after he was freed.

Mueller absolutely saved Trump’s ass. He’s just too stupid to realize it. That’s the irony that’s screwing us all. The institutionalists keep institutionalizing while Trump sets about destroying them.

I don’t believe that anyone could feel the way i do about this deal

a billionaire must never make a decision because the billionaire can never be held accountable

Kind of like the way every individual is advised to cut down on frivolous buying and save for their future, but also if aggregate consumer spending decreases the economy tanks.

Sigh.

Whole lot of "What if the law wasn't the law as it exists and was instead some horrid thing I just dreamed up" in the quoted column.

lol any way 💅

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find. Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Me watching Hector walk out to fight Achilles by himself

This is some Fawlty Towers-type shit

It might not the most exciting are of reform, but reigning in Big Data (both the corporate and governmental flavors) is absolutely necessary.

Average Bsky poster: "We must inaugurate a Second Reconstruction with blood and fire." Average Democratic politician: "We are in a war for the Republic, which is why I propose a 23.7% tax cut." Average liberal columnist: "For too long the transgenders have blocked research into the racial IQ gap."

This is the conservative pitch to most Americans: Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.

Important reminder of the true meaning of Saint Patrick's Day

I think ultrawealth removes so many of the constraints faced by normal humans that the few remaining limits feel absurd. Like: "I can buy whole industries, why can't I put my dick into anyone I want?" "I rented out Venice for a weekend, why should I have to die someday?" "Why CAN'T I own people?"

NEWS: Six months before the Trump admin began bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts. State’s energy division got completely DOGE’d. And with it went the people who knew how to plan for a global energy crisis.

The Menswear Guy claims another couple of victims.

There was an SNL bit from 1996 where Bob Dole (played by Norm Macdonald) said he wanted to dig a tunnel back to the 19th century, in contrast to Bill Clinton's motto of "Building a Bridge to the 21st Century". This is now our official policy

These screenshots are goofy, but they also show why Mamdani (and Dems in general) need to keep banging out Content even after elected. Because otherwise the media gets to make up a guy to get mad at and convince everyone else to be mad at him too.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Sound guys really weren't doing the KPOP Demon Hunter ladies any favors

friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

Ugh. Fine, whatever. Just leave the real ones somewhere we can find them and we'll add this to the list of your shit we have clean up.

"And of it did do a lot of harm to the US economy it would be Joe Biden's fault. Also asking me that question is Woke"

It's monstrous hubris to be handed a system that you're de facto on-top of, and decide to just shake it up on the assumption that you'll be even more on-top in whatever comes next.

If you don't have the right to repair or alter, then you're not the vehicle owner

I'm sorry that your sworn testimony is causing you reputational damage.

[At the consultants rally] What do we want? Crowd: MEANS TESTING! When do we want it? Crowd: THREE TO FIVE YEARS AFTER APPROVAL OF A LENGTHY APPLICATION!

"government can't deliver so you might as well not pay into it" is nothing more than a suicide note for left and liberal governance

nobody wants this shit. we want the taxes we do pay to go to schools and healthcare instead of being used to flatten buildings full of children in Iran. how are you so bad at this

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

FINALLY! An announcement! I’ve only been waiting since last year!!

They're like Don Quixote if he sucked ass in every way

I'm fine with comics being a gateway to reading, but this did make me remember that as a kid who hadn't been into comics, I basically spent one full school year reading a friend's Official Handbooks of the Marvel Universe. So prose *was* a great gateway to comics

Ron Turner's The Daleks is one of the most *beautiful* strips ever made. One of those I-can't-believe-human-hands-made-this comics.

I've been seeing a lot of posts about plans, and strategic goals: regime change or whatever. But I think that for a sizeable chunk of the US leadership, this right here is the whole point: to blow things up for the spectacle of seeing them explode, and to make content about it

Babe wake up, new form of aluminum just dropped

Whoever is the next Secretary of State is going to have some big shoes to fill.

The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low. At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals — and that they were pointless: “An appeal is not available to review an underpayment.” (Published April 2025)
