Cookie recipes will say "makes 3 dozen," and I invariably wind up with exactly 11.

The closest I come to the Dem leadership saying "X atrocity is a distraction from kitchen-table issues" is my firm Superbowl belief that the final score is just a distraction from the fact that the old Patriots logo was superior in every way to the current one.

I read this post with an orange cat napping at my feet.

This is just one of the best comics pages ever drawn.

We should bring back biplanes. Frankly, I'd feel safer on a flight knowing there's a spare set of wings.

Today is the birthday of writer Bill Finger (Feb. 8, 1914-Jan. 18, 1974), who took Bob Kane’s initial idea & developed it into the Batman we know today. He also wrote the first appearance of the original Green Lantern, and cocreated Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, Lana Lang, Wildcat, Riddler, & more.

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

35 years ago today: Troy McClure made his first appearance on #TheSimpsons. “Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment” first aired February 7, 1991.

Finally watching a movie that's rattled around the back of my brain ever since catching a snippet of it on cable circa 2000.

Republicans in December 2024: You have one month, degenerates😈 Republicans in February 2026: When the left tells us to "cry more," this is an example of comedy that isn't funny because it "punches down"

Spending a snowy morn pondering which is worse in a platformer, the obligatory underwater level with a wonky swim mechanic, or the obligatory ice level where you slide on every horizontal surface.

"You would get fired for this at any other job" is so direct and clear.

I'm in @mcsweeneys.net today writing about The Big Game

Book in Mouth, New York City, by Jeff Mermelstein American, born 1957 1993 More info: https://www.artic.edu/artworks/159908

This is the most correct opinion on this site.

Christ, @markey.senate.gov, get off the kiddie porn app. I know you have to represent all us Bay Staters, but who exactly are you trying to reach on the largest repository of CSAM?

When I heard @ericafails.bsky.social was making a Harley and Ivy comic, I had very high expectations, all of which are being blown away with each issue.

Self-criticism, 1892 by Philip Burne-Jones

It's a niche '90s sci-fi complaint, but the Jem'Hadar always make me use the wrong punctuation in "Hork-Bajir."

Accidentally pulled an extra sheet off the notepad, so you all get a Monday morning doodle of the first random phrase that popped into my brain.

good morning everyone. the president of the united states is a demented pedophile who shit his pants on national tv but you still have to go to work like everything is normal

GO GET HIM, ZATARA

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration

Idk if trans kids these days know this but back in my day you could just walk into a RadioShack and walk out with one of these puppies

Several years ago, I predicted that he would eventually shit himself publicly, and that his followers would start intentionally shitting themselves to show their support. Ball's in their court now.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

Magik by Bill Sienkiewicz #XMen

The entire 'we can't win' nonsense is such bullshit. The people who led the anti-apartheid movement, Solidarity in Poland, the People Power Movement in the Philippines, and Diretas Já in Brazil all faced far longer odds and worse oppression than us and they never gave up. Fuck doomers.

A side effect of prominent Dems lending their names to fundraising spam from different groups is that it feels like Beto O'Rourke is stalking me, and changes his number every time I tell him to stop.

Calvin And Hobbes by Bill Sienkiewicz

Funny that the the guy who was like “Black Swan is not influenced by Perfect Blue” after trying to obtain the rights and meeting the director would be really into a plagiarism machine.

Maybe the news of the week has broken me, but this had me laughing so hard that tears were streaming down my face while I gasped for air.

i have never felt less inclined to donate to political campaigns in my entire adult life

Kids these days take for granted having different kinds of lettuce. Back in my day, the whole produce section was iceberg lettuce. Only in the late '90s did scientists finally make a breakthrough with the invention of romaine lettuce, which quickly became the most fashionable of foodstuffs.

I am reminded yet again of the time I started watching "Mother!" and got ten minutes in before saying, aloud, in an otherwise empty apartment, "Yeah, I get it, Darren" and turning it off.

I don’t know what to do with the fact that Scott Free found out about Jesus thru an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical

Soon, all the films in close proximity to it will also be THE THING. Within the year, all films in the registry will be THE THING.

I don't believe in karma, but Bolsonaro having hiccups that require medical intervention is some of the strongest evidence I've ever seen.

Tag yourself. (Obviously, I'm the one in the middle.)

One of the most remarkable things about Columbo as a genre is that it's a solid genre rule that Columbo (and Dog) are never, ever in any danger, nor are there ever any personal stakes for Columbo, ever

Goddamn, this rules.

Amongst other things, sending ICE, the ostensible enforcers of immigration to the US, to the Olympics in Italy is abandoning all pretense that they are anything other than a private army for the administration.

At the very least, have the dignity to say that no funding will be discussed until the full Epstein files are released.

My lunchtime reading today.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

Every day, I wake up, take a shower, have a cup of coffee, clean my feathers, climb to the top of my black spruce, and sing my song that tells everyone whose spruce this is
