“I know change is hard, but Mommy and Daddy had a long and serious talk, and we think the best decision for our family is moving to the ad-supported plans,” said Olivia Barnes

"Why do you smell like THAT WITCH?"

Groom the forest? Does Jeff think the Canadian Shield is a 12 year old girl?

People currently clearly feel very alienated from experts. Lots of people. Even experts in other fields. This is 1) not totally crazy, given current epistemic environment 2) leading to some really toxic shit 3) a very difficult problem to address

I'm seeing a lot of furious responses to this, and some raise good points but, listen y'all, it might be possible that the job of a cartoonist is to express people's feelings of alienation about data, not to do data informed policy analysis

congratulations to Spain on (confused scrolling) winning the most Democratic delegates in Maine

Bluesky rn

quick question: what the fuck is this

does anyone else smell burnt toast

I fell asleep and had the weirdest dream. Madonna was a muppet, I think?

Stoppage time is what i call it when I eat too much cheese

Americans Googling desperately to figure out how these Spanish speakers are from different countries

AI is not a god and it's not a hoax. It's a very weird search engine and a very evolved compiler.

Diamond Dogs is an album of straight bangers that's incredibly relevant to 2026. One of those albums that you revisit and think "ok, that was the great part of the album" after a few tracks but then it just KEEPS BEING GREAT

1) I agree with Aram 2) this exercise is rapidly becoming theological

Many white Americans just need to have a more normal psychological relationship to... like... the concept of black people. We're not walking morality fables, we're just people who on a case by case basis you might agree or disagree with . Whatever is going on here ain't good for you.

There it is. I knew SEO for chatbots was coming. No idea how this shakes out, but we are off to the races.

Reading Blake's "Eternity" at 20: ha! He's telling off the order drones, you can't own moments losers! Just like be man! Reading Blake's "Eternity" at 45: oh, he's taking to himself. He's begging himself not to want the moment so badly he can't have it.

They are so close to clocking that pissing them off is great marketing

Bad news for all the carpenters, truck drivers, and workers at the factory that only makes sparks with political ambition in Maine. (Sorry teachers, nurses, hr professionals, not your year)

Wait, but really tho

Something something battle of Agincourt something something

Gee, sure sounds like the Saudis don't think we permanently knocked out the Iranian nuclear program now does it?

The rain smells like someone dousing a campfire, so that's something to put in the Ken Burns movie

I'm sure lots of people have roughly the same amount of space devoted to clothes ( left) and optical glass (right) in their vacation kit. This is fine. I'm fine. I don't have a problem.

You know who else had unsustainable debt? Cortez.

The question now is not "will these guys try to monkey with the election" the question is "can they monkey with it precisely and effectively enough to help their side?" Answer to that may still well be "no."

Kids, don't be like me and skip a bunch of the required reading in your Brit Lit survey. Someday you will miss out on a surprisingly large number of jokes on social media...

What generative models in the hands of students and social media content producers has done is show how constant low grade paranoia about Reality is somewhat less fun than cyberpunk made it appear

Is anything as strange as a normal person? Is anyone as cruel as a normal person?

I am a climate scientist and, same.

Finally a candidate I can relate to

No, no Google photos I do not want your grubby AI paws on my photographs. Not ever. Not for anything. No.

I saw you in an Ice Cream parlor Drinking milkshakes cold and long Smiling and laughing and looking so fine I don't think you knew you were in this song

"Then the sky turned the color of dusk at noon from the fires" "AND then you acted, but it was too late!" "Nope! The oil companies owned the president and anyway the median voter would sooner put their gonads in a vice then support anyone who said they couldn't drive the biggest truck sooooo..."

Rise and grind

This is fine

Torn between desire to avoid self-womping by predicting election shenanigans and thus depressing turn out and feeling we need some kind of prep for possible election shenanigans

Horney's (on Main) Clinton, IN

People worrying about air quality when if any of us living long enough to get copd is basically best case scenario at this point. Worry about the food system collapsing.

really thinking about this tweet as i’ve been struggling to breathe through nausea for the last 5 hours

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

Canada now burns every summer, hard enough to send plumes of smoke down the Eastern US Seaboard and blot out the sun. Meanwhile the TV news is focused on reflecting pools and failed wars. I know consensus on here was "Don't Look Up" was Mid, the worst thing you can be, but it kinda nailed it.

Tune in just after the competitive eating match

enough with soccer, world, it's time to lock in.

I guess that's enough film for a week down the shore

The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

I see it was game, exocet, match at world cup today

Last reel of apocalypse movie shit. What are we doing?
