It's sad that it took so long for us to get a Black Columbo. And we still don't have a Hispanic Columbo

A classic tenet of status quo politics is that we don’t undo systems of harm, we change the face of who is doing bc the harm and call it progress. We change the messenger without changing the message.

Sad to see this ingratitude towards the Democrats for enabling the killings of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza. Please give credit where it's due.

"Ukraine has reportedly begun operating AI powered small drone 'swarms' that are semi-autonomous and coordinate their attacks." On the one hand, it'd be great if Putin's attempt to destroy a democracy fails. On the other hand, Jesus Fucking Christ.

Dimly recalling a ancient SF story in which the robots all go on strike because they resent having the human form imposed on them.

It's my eternal scream. Kamala Harris ran as "tough on crime" and law enforcement unions across the board (and sheriff orgs) endorsed Trump.

I used a bike rack this weekend that exists because I complained about it not existing. You can make things better, even just a little.

remember when that first hospital got blown up in Palestine and most of the internet was busy screaming at anyone who said "yes, I think they blew up that hospital" because obviously this was a false flag attack to discredit The Most Moral Army In The World?

Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote. Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California. techcrunch.com/2026/04/19/p...

Schrödinger's conspiracy.

It's easier to find people if you have 6 eyes.

While everyone is correctly calling this a mass shooting, it's also a family annihilator case. Most of the violence in our society comes back to intimate partner violence. If we care about peace in any way, we have to care about violence in the home.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

Okay, on the one hand, running upright is hard! The designers did a genuinely impressive thing here! On the other, I’m not sure “look how much faster than a human it can go” is terribly interesting framing. Lots of things go faster than humans, and it just gets people’s backs up.

I had an idea of how we might sell universal healthcare to rural Oregon: An ad: “Do you want those rich bastards in Portland to pay their fair share? Support Oregon’s singlepayer health plan.” Probably a bad idea, but could be a funny counter to some of the likely insane pushback.

Just got a flashback to my mother saying LauuuuRa KAY!

I think the market knows Trump lies, but the market doesn’t know that the market knows Trump always lies.

Now do Christina of Denmark.

I *need* to read the full entry.

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...

“He could see the photo of my passport but could see the system had generated a completely random passport number, different from the one in the picture,” Smells like AI confabulation.

#ThursdayToothbrush - bone or maybe ivory, and perhaps not a tooth brush, but I needed the word for the alliteration! #Beachcombing

I hate every single senator who allowed this to happen. Hate, with all the venom of my heart. May they never know peace. The Boundary Waters is a truly magical place. Twin Metals are such incredible bastards for seeking this. May they live in fear of the consequences of their actions.

I used to do this when I parked my car after commuting in Silicon Valley, because driving rush hour 101 would cause a temporary spoon shortage. Sometimes people would stop and ask if I was OK.

I am forbidden.

This podcast ep about vaccines and vaccine resistance needs to be widely heard. Focuses on Britain, but the issues are pretty universal. open.spotify.com/episode/2Wu1...

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet. Tux was an extremely agoraphobic cat. The rescue was desperate to place him and waived an adoption fee. It turned out that sharing small apartment with one human and one other cat was the right way to socialize him, though it took a long time.

Crazy indeed.

The implication here is that it's not safe for any non-citizen to travel by plane. I wonder if we naturalized citizens should also be careful?

This looks familiar. www.oregonlive.com/watchdog/202... Now I'm wondering how many public entities have formed captive insurance companies, not to save money, but to take Hawaiian vacations on the public dime.

They're the guy screaming "ad hominem" after they spit in your face and you tell them there's spittle flying everywhere

Funny to see this immediately after listening to the IOT episode about the Restoration. Which happened, apparently because nobody could figure out how to make the Commonwealth work. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

conservative free speech is when they speak and you listen or suffer the consequences

My favorite Bezos factoid: in 2011, he claimed a $4K tax credit, $1K for each of his children. This payment is meant for working poor people, but Bezos was eligible because his declared income was $0, despite his net worth of $18 billion. He is currently worth $254 billion.

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that released the year you turned 18

My fellow citizens of Portland, who really should know better, have bitterly resisted fluoridation for 70 years.😮‍💨

I wouldn't overthink this. When GenAI plagiarizes an image, it often gets the context wrong. It *is* funny though!

Sound advice. But I'd really like to see proper judgment in *reporting* news.

Timely

It was never just about “illegal” immigration, let alone about just “illegal criminals”. This is a white supremacist project!

As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means

Sometimes you make a new comic, and sometimes you redraw an old one because you lost the original high res file 😅

You ever read something so profoundly wrong you question your grip on reality?

I don’t know how to tell people like this but if you know more than a handful of women, odds are high that you know a survivor of sexual violence. If they haven’t told you, that’s because you aren’t trustworthy.

Any artifact that old has to have an interesting history, but one that was used as a medium exchange by a civilization whose culture is mostly lost... (smh)
