Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

I have never seen Trump looking genuinely delighted before

1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mxthh...

Today's hot "I Wish This Could (Have) Happen(ed)" Take: In a universe where they were both still breathing, I wish I could have got John M. Ford and @terryandrob.bsky.social together in the same room, and shown them 2025 politics and said to them, "...Write us a collaborative novel. PLEASE." 😁

The Thanksgiving Cylinder: It’s not just tradition, it’s praxis!

One thing future historians are going to notice very well is that both times the US came to the brink of destruction in the two and a half centuries after its founding, it was at the hands of men who wanted an unlimited license to rape and get away with it, not only legally but socially.

“I’m a cryptocurrency!”

trust is neither given nor earned. it forms naturally between people who share the experience of having listened to Skinny Puppy at or after 3 am in the dark by themselves

With the 50th annivesay of the loss if the ship being today, this past weekend I got kind of obsessed with trying to cover the haunting Lightfootballad as a synth dance track; make it a club banger without making it cheesy or disrespectful. klack.bandcamp.com/album/the-wr...

Trading places with Elon would be like waking up as a cockroach and the worst part is that you would have traded away your knowledge of Kafka and the literary grounding to make sense of said experience.

This is one hill I will die on. Under no circumstances should the current POTUS be allowed to send out checks to the hoi polloi.

Insane Clown President

That’s just it. In the Democratic Party, the question isn’t moderate or leftist right now. It’s whether or not a dem understands that the old political playbook for dealing with the right is obsolete.
