This is apparently just copypasta circulating among middle aged people who do not quite understand how copypasta works. Threads is the weirdest place on the internet. Every time I spend more than 5 minutes there I feel lobotomized

CHOTINER: And when was that? MY CAT: I mean at least 14 hours ago CHOTINER: Well hold on. You're telling me you haven't been fed at all today but if I look in your bowl here I see a- MY CAT: An untouched serving, I know, but if you'd let me finish- CHOTINER: Yeah, of course.

Very Jackpot

Sinclair has been gobbling up network affiliates and red-pilling their trusted local newscasts for years (see 2017 OTM story below). Worse, it was under the radar. Most viewers had no idea they were being brainwashed, or even who Sinclair was before the Kimmel mess... Maybe they will NOW. 🤞

I actually think it's off base for the descriptor of these angry young white men who think violence is cool and/or funny to be "non-political." They are making rape jokes and saying racist things and wanting to sow chaos. That's literally the Alex Jones, Steve Bannon playbook.

That's a hell of an act, what do you call it? "The Meritocrats!"

Tonight, for one night only - Ellison vs Musk. Let's get ready to rumble! Who takes the title of the shadow (boxing) president? 🥊

All the nonsense that we’re seeing right now is 100% astroturfed by billionaires. Trying to pressure everyone into believing garbage like Charlie Kirk was a decent person… when the truth is most people could give a rats ass he’s rotting.

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

They joined the government, my dudes.

CHOTINER: You say you've busted out mad - AD-ROCK AND MIKE D: BEATS! CHOTINER: You've said you want to stay real to the - AD-ROCK AND MIKE D: STREETS! CHOTINER: You're famously close with the Dalai - AD-ROCK AND MIKE D: LAMA! CHOTINER: But didn't he take CIA money? AD-ROCK AND MIKE D: NO COMMENT!

Somehow, Tanya Woo returns.

It's true. Les Miserables is DEI.

CHOTINER: So last week you said the word “strawberry” has six R’s. CHATGPT: Yeah and I want to thank you for the chance to address that because it’s a trick question— CHOTINER:—actually, no— CHATGPT: —since the word “strawberry” is spelled with a 9. CHOTINER: The number 9? CHATGPT: Absolutely.

CHOTINER: And that's alienation? ME: yeah I think fiction writing is a kind of formal rejection of know ability. CHOTINER: You seem very cool and interesting. ME: hahah thanks CHOTINER: I don't have anything else, you just seem like a smart, cool guy and i wanted people to know. ME: thanks, man

okay I think I figured this out, obviously Trump has himself never seen a vaccine administered to children, so he is just assuming that because the MMRV vaccine is four vaccines combined, it must therefore be four times the size of a regular vaccine.

Sometimes I go to Heritage Auctions and just look at old Jaime Hernandez pages. This one is from "100 Rooms." Jaime drew the top tier for the original comic book. He added the bottom two tiers added a couple of years later when he expanded the story. That body language!

CHOTINER: what’s up ME: not much dude CHOTINER: right on

You're telling me that firing everyone except incompetent loyalists has led to a petty tyrant unable to govern except through whim and backstabbing? I regard this as a gift from the gods, let our enemies quarrel

There’s a reason the 1619 Project, MeToo, BLM, etc, are all common obsessions and bete noirs for them.

Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.

It’s autumn

Debuting at NYCC: It's STILT-ZINE. Filled with pieces about my guy Stilt-Man, an infographic by Chip Zdarsky + a pinup gallery with art by @lianakangas.com, @jesselonergan.bsky.social, and others, I'll be selling it at NYCC. Not going? Never fear! It will be available later. Learn more at SKTCHD:

4 year old when he got home today: We did a drill today. Me: oh yeah? 4: we had to practice hiding from a monster and be very quiet superheros behind the legos. It broke my heart and pissed me off at the same time. Fuck the 2nd amendment, & fuck anyone who thinks America has to live with this.

well since being antifa is terrorism now i would like to hear what they are going to do about bofa

Them: Where was your outrage for [awful thing unrelated to the post they're replying to]??! Me: ... Clearly you don't actually follow me on social media where I've been ranting for years. 🙄

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"It's gauche and uncivil to accurately describe me" is a core view of today's fascists

Helioscope artist Stephen Pellnat @stephenpellnat.bsky.social working on a page for the next issue of his series UPSTATE. Look at that fire-lit staircase in the last panel!

An absolutely insane story about false confession: man reports his dad missing, police pressure him to confess to his dad's murder (lying about finding his dad's body, threatening his dog, etc), man confesses and tries to kill himself, dad comes home perfectly fine. abc11.com/post/city-fo...

Dear My Phone, My Computer, My Apps, My Electronic Devices, and so forth: Please stop asking me if I want to enable AI. Or use your janky AI tool. Or load my documents or pictures with a bunch of useless, off-putting, earth-killing AI junk. I don't want it. I SAID I don't want it. Stop offering.

Intriguing approach. 🧪 newatlas.com/disease/engi...

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

I wrote for @theguardian.com this week (also in print in this week’s @streetroots.bsky.social) on Portland’s investigation into permit violations at the local ICE facility. It’s one tool for a long process that could ultimately provide some accountability, with eviction unlikely, but in the toolbox.

Cancel paramount now. Star Trek is not a good enough reason to stay on that platform.

things kind of stink now but you basically dont have to hear that pearl jam song "jeremy" anymore ever unless you actively want to hear it. it used to be you would be hear eddie vedder hooting like five or six times a day and you were powerless to stop it

This reminds me of my favorite Noah Baumbach movie, Marriage Story

begging someone, anyone, to primary Chuck Schumer. I'd vote for a potato

This reads like one of those negative yelp reviews written by an exceedingly lonely person

“Why does guy even BOTHER if he’s not going to talk about covfefe?” Shut the fuck up

this is terrible criticism

oh my god, just the seatbelt thing alone from the mid-80's to the mid-90's was *so, so much* nonsense

look at this gentleman in repose

So I'm ordering a pack of these out of spite

Not bad at all, and I’d be pissed if I was giving Sinclair money to promote my business and my ad ran during a rerun of Celebrity Family Feud instead of the most in-demand program of the night (at the higher rate)
