It sounds like they rushed the Qatar jet and it doesn’t have all of the defensive countermeasures needed to transit potentially hostile airspace. There’s no realistic way to read this other than a threat-driven aircraft choice.

I like this take even better 😏

I honestly don't know a lot about him. But, while he shares some positions with other politicians and got Sanders' endorsement, I didn't lump him with other Democrats of any stripe I also find it difficult to believe he was the only New Englander who ran with those positions. Also that 'stache!🙄

Yes though I gotta say the Hartman-as-pretending-to-be-senile-Reagan sketch is just flat out one of the best sketches in the history of the show www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5wf... bsky.app/profile/squa...

If Platner had won, then he'd have turned out to be another John Fetterman but without a stroke. Now he's Plan B: fuck up the chances of any replacement that could win Either way, could have been a mole.

Later we'll find out that Mitch McConnell was actually starting to pull through until they exhausted him with all those 20-minute conversations

A nice remembrance of the late great Gerry Conway by @zachrabiroff.com for the @comicsjournal.bsky.social.

Batman with eyes is like Reed Richards with a beard. It’s about to hit the fan, and we all know it! Detail from Jim Aparo’s DC Classics Artist’s Edition, and Brave and the Bold 108.

"It’s a warning about what happens when people in positions of power smugly, arrogantly, callously make the decisions that insulate them from culpability." 1970's Colossus: The Forbin Project is so much more than just a cautionary tale about AI...

This strip is, no exaggeration, a formative element of my life. Read it young; remembered it forever.

One thing I like best about this is representing the voice of God as many sort of chaotic voices out of phase with each other

RIP Louise Lasser, who was (her husband) Woody Allen's comedy partner prior to the also-recently-deceased Diane Keaton. Here is her in BANANAS, and her timing is superb "No, it has nothing to do with The Fact that you're short, & nothing to do with The Fact you're not bright enough..."

"But what if we tried to claim the disabled are a myth?"

In fact, he says "communism" to a generation that has no emotional associations with the word at all, and then point at Mamdani and say that's communism, then he actually makes it more attractive.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Farage really thought he would have this all to himself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXYc...

Will Trump ever run out of his own feet to shoot? And this is another example of how keeping HIM safe is far more important to him than keeping AMERICA safe.

All these billionaires are out here trying to live forever. Meanwhile the rest of us...kinda sort of...

I've driven through Nebraska on my way to the west coast a few times. It's a horrible state to pass through, especially 27 miles of slaughterhouses in the middle, the smell of the shit of terrified cows so thick everywhere even a car's AC system can't filter it out www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB5t...

Well, that's a cover story that begs literally every question www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0BR...

Particularly as none of these are conference calls. It appears that they want us to think McConnell set aside twenty minutes apiece with every R member of Congress.

Maybe he shouldn't have been bragging how much he's profiting from the presidency.

I never knew this was collected! Somerset Holmes was a treasure that I collected from quarter boxes back the day. A big influence on my work in Black Widow :)

The twist is going to be it's not really gasoline
