Bay Ridge is the best

Good luck to everyone taking the bus today. @mayor.nyc.gov, shovel my bus stop!

This guy's been the main character for 10 years despite being corrupt, incompetent, pedophile, racist, rapist, traitor, war criminal and would-be autocrat. Because we're governed by cowards and the media treats him like the voice of "Real America", we've been burdened for what feels like eternity.

Zohran, shovel my bus stop!

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me. It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Some people are going to swear, “this isn’t what I voted for.” It is important to remember that some people are liars.

The federal government is keeping this from you; they are keeping away cancer vaccines; because they want you to die.

Nicole Malliotakis was one of the 140 members of Congress who voted to throw out out the 2020 election results. She continued to challenge the results on Jan. 6 AFTER the insurrectionists were cleared out of the Capitol

If folks were honest with themselves they would understand that the point of AI is to inhibit your ability to think. The end of human thinking is the goal of those who create AI. This isn't even a secret, I suppose.

Carlos Beltrán was supposed to get a hit and that guy in the fourth row was supposed to be crushed to death by a stampede of fans rushing toward the field.

One thing most people don't understand is that we in the US enjoy greater wealth funded by other countries because they assume we are a stable and relatively friendly hegemon.

Some sources, plus the call for comics if you want to participate.

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.

This is gonna sound harsh but you gotta stop talking to these hicks out in bumfuck towns. I know these people. They know less than nothing, it all comes from newsmax and facebook. They live in a fantasy world and everything they have is because of the cities they hate. They aren’t real Americans.

There's a big bunch of fantastic art in this week's newsletter! You can check out the whole thing over at www.hireillo.com/Srx Art by Sue Todd · @kalakal.bsky.social · @beccathorne.bsky.social · @kristinagehrmann.bsky.social · @johnwtomac.com · Julia Allum · Chris B. Murray

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

It's #PortfolioDay so here's four client projects that I've recently worked on and like a lot!

Happy #PortfolioDay to all who celebrate. My name is John, I’m an editorial illustrator. See more work at johnwtomac.com

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

more and more lately i’ve been thinking, christ, they’ll murder you for any reason, they’ll do it for no reason, they’ll do it while your back is turned or while you’re driving away. what incentive do i have NOT to laugh in their stupid fucking hog faces

Art from 2018 because time is a flat circle

Ok, this is worse bsky.app/profile/heba...

If you still for some reason post your art on Twitter - they added "edit" button to every image, which opens AI prompt letting anybody to modify it and post as their own.

There should have been an effort to expel the ~140 reps who still voted against certifying the 2020 election results even after the failed coup under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Dem. leadership's failure to treat the GOP as the domestic enemy that it is has doomed us for decades.

After they cleared the Capitol, Congress had to go back to vote to finish certifying the election. More than 100 Republicans, including my Rep, Nicole Malliotakis, continued to challenge the election results. It was a mistake not to expel all of them from the House.

A rejected New Yorker pitch from 2018 that was eventually pickled up by the LA Times (but didn’t run) a year later because time is a flat circle.

Substitute "bike lane" "public plaza" "open street" "road diet" "busway" "traffic calming installation" etc for "congestion pricing" & the headline still works The freakout always precedes the benefits, and is proven wrong on the ground @gothamist.com

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Whether it's destroying a nation or murdering a Black person, all the US government has to do to quiet 90% of liberals opposition is to say their victim was a bad guy.

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

In 2026, city employees should emulate Zohran Mamdani by marrying an illustrator or cartoonist so they can have access to the city’s health insurance plan

Why I’m leaving New York By The MetroCard

One weird thing about the Mayoral Block Party tmrw - there is a concentration camp at 26 Federal Plaza, where our neighbors who have been kidnapped by the regime are held before they're ferried off to other parts of the concentration camp network

It would be better if the City of New York had a tool for removing snow from sidewalks and bus stops instead of offloading the responsibility on adjacent property owners.

you should be allowed to throw a brick at people doing antisocial things while they’re driving
