After all that setup, "people on airline flights are fat" is a pretty underwhelming punchline.

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

Thinking about Wikipedia articles I've written through the years. I think it's neat that I got to write the article for my favorite artist, Gregory Blackstock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory... Image source: gregkucera.com/represented-... (What I wouldn't give to own this drawing!! 😍🐦)

REI has strayed dramatically from its roots. For the last four years, the "co-op" has run an intense union-busting campaign using the same anti-union law firm that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Trump use to fight against workers' rights.

Arkansas wants to develop a policy that ties library funding to whether or not they have "sexually explicit" materials for minors. You have until June 7 to submit your thoughts if you're in the state. This is going the Alabama defunding-libraries route. arkansasadvocate.com/2026/05/08/p...

If you invite thieves to dinner, they’ll steal the silver.

Last week @dodecahedron.bsky.social made this when I was feeling very bad. I want y'all to have it, too. Has alt text and everything, ready to copy, download, quote, etc. Because it's true! Be excellent to each other.

OK, this is kind of amazing?

“The president understandably expects full loyalty from a vice president,” said Marc Short, who was chief of staff to Mr. Vance’s predecessor, Mike Pence. “But in my experience he doesn’t really set up his vice president for political success afterwards.”

Contractions with 3 words: -she'd've -wouldn't've Contractions with more than 3 words: -y'all'll've -they'dn't've

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Hey libraries! You don't have to either ignore genAI or promote it! You can resist! Anything less is a violation of our Code of Ethics and Bill of Rights.

Luigi nooooo

But tell me again how gender is fixed, innate, and binary.

Looks like it’s time to broadcast this

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

Kurt Loder's withering condescension toward people like Jewel and Courtney Love hits a little different when you realize he was 50+ years old at the time.

"The SBC’s governing documents allowed for the removal of churches that had female pastors or affirmed homosexuality. But when Doyle and other activists pressed for scrutiny of churches with known abusers on staff, SBC leaders said they had no such authority."

While we're on the subject, all these right wing guys write "best-sellers" because it takes about 10K pre-orders to be number one on the NYT list your first week, so their rich patrons just buy palettes of their book and voila, John Q. Nazi is a NYT #1 bestselling author. But no one read his book

"Plan C works to transform access to abortion in the US by normalizing the self-directed option of abortion pills by mail. Our vision: A near future in which the ability to end an early pregnancy is directly in the hands of anyone who seeks it."

34 years ago today, April 30, 1992, the final episode of The Cosby Show aired on NBC. Fox aired a repeat of #TheSimpsons on the same night, but it featured a new piece of animation after the episode ended referencing the final Cosby and... wow.

"It’s obvious that the entire cast, comprising stars like Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Miles Teller, Larenz Tate, and more, is unable to connect with the story; their dissatisfaction manifests in a collective readiness for this experience to be over and forgotten forever."

I made you a botanical history comic. I don't consider myself a comic artist but every now and then a comic idea comes to me and haunts me until I make it. I made this one with pencil, archival ink, and watercolour pencils.

The new passports are crazy y'all

like...now is the moment. make the positive case that immigration is good and that the problem is not that people are cheating but that our laws are so restrictive people are put into impossible positions, which harms them and us.

This is what Going to the Archives is all about.
