If you had to design an efficient way to breathe, what might you do? Would you model after human lungs? Fish breathing? An iron lung??? Hands down, I would model after bird respiratory systems. Here’s why. 1/6 ⚛️🧪

“I first knew something was getting into the pens when I found a tattered, bloody pair of jeans tangled up in the razor wire, and I’ve heard tell of nearby farms getting picked clean by RFK Jr., so I went and bought me a guard dog in case he ever comes back,” said Lindon Trelby

An administration run by zealots and oil-soaked sellouts, engaged in an epic act of national economic self-sabotage.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

The new acting Secretary of the Navy, Hung Cao, who is replacing John Pelan, is a theocratic loony who thinks California is infested with witches. The only thing the Trump administration shows *any* aptitude for is filling its job openings with unqualified kooks.

This.

Sound eerily familiar

NEW: This might be the perfect visual metaphor for the war in Iran. Courtesy of today’s Virginia Tech Spring game.

Large BEV commercial trucks are now outselling diesel commercial trucks in China for the first time. While the world electrifies, the US is squandering resources to fight over expensive, dwindling, polluting, fossil fuels. 🧪💡🔌 ☀️💨💧🔋 www.electrive.com/2026/01/23/y...

I haven't seen the news media mentioning this one one today. It's not like Trump hasn't already made an ass of himself when it comes to the Catholic Church and the Pope.

Oh my...

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz to unblock the Strait of Hormuz is peak Trump foreign policy.

UK's Scariest Water Ride Challenge with Brad and Tom Pollen

Chinese carmaker BYD unveils a recharge as fast as filling up with petrol. And no need to wear gloves. Certainly not coming to a forecourt near you in America because the fossil fuel giants and their puppets in government like making lots and lots of cool money from easily-conned petrolheads.

"A whole civilization will die tonight.” The President of the United States posted this about Iran. I worked national security in that White House & in the Pentagon. You do not talk about war like this. Ever. It's Reckless. Dehumanizing. Dangerous. And innocent people will pay the price.

Better hurry!

Just a quick reminder that Ronald Reagan yanked the solar panels off the White House. If America had remained on the path Jimmy Carter set us on, nobody would be talking about the Strait of Hormuz or gas prices right now. Republicans have been fucking America and the world for decades.

That’s an oldie but a goodie.

BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the state’s version of the SAVE America Act, which would require voters to prove their citizenship status and remove student ID as an acceptable form of voter ID, into law. Voting rights groups immediately sued to block the measure.

The emergence of Bernice, a seventh-level fire dragon who was raised by cats.

I hope this joke doesn’t bug you

Just Ukrainian railways explaining reason for delays with what translates loosely as ‘fckngrussians’ (which you already know if you’ve been to my Ukrainian swearing sessions) Russians are now more attacking trains and so evacuation protocol is in place, which sometimes causes massive delays

“While I will soon appear once more upon the earthly realm, My sole focus during this Second Coming will be various woodworking projects and not the establishment of a messianic kingdom,” said Christ, the Light of the World

Trump's biggest success was being able to trick Americans into thinking the oft-bankrupted, incompetent businessman was a success. That fiction was central to the wildly dishonest "The Apprentice." The real Trump boardroom was so shoddy they had to build the show's "boardroom" on a Long Island set.

I’m honored people printed my artwork to carry in the historic No Kings Protests this past weekend! Ironically, I found myself traveling and without access to a printer so I grabbed a few sharpies and a stray piece of cardboard and drew a sign I carried in both the Pasadena and Los Angeles marches.

this may be my magnum opus (I know I say this once or twice a year but this is definitely one of those times)

Bernice is a seventh-level fire dragon, but she was raised by cats.

there it is, all 7 continents

And now, in case it’s all driving you fucking MAD… Take 17 seconds out of your day for the adorably hilarious lunacy that is a Scotsman trying to say… “PURPLE BURGLAR ALARM.” youtu.be/AC__o1UxDl8

No lies detected at #NoKings

Good Saturday morning everyone! Happy #NoKings Day! If you're heading to a protest today: Be sure to plan ahead & arrange a meetup spot. Turn off biometric phone locks & use a pin. Consider removing your SIM card, you'll be able to photograph or record but not identify your location. Be safe!

Recent data from the American Immigration Council and KFF shows 2025 was the deadliest year for ICE detainees in two decades — 32 deaths reported. We don’t even know all their names. America marches for them. And for Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Keith Porter. #WeSayNoKings

Please share this post. I've made a deal with the devil where he will turn me back into a slug if I get 100,000 followers here. I miss being a slug. I did not have to pay taxes. I had no idea who Stephen Miller was. I slithered around aimlessly, not knowing salt would make me die a horrific death.

We made a comic about textbooks.

Well when you put it like that, I’m sold. (from @xiandivyne.bsky.social)

Unstoppable. My @smh cartoon.

I'm receiving reports from airports all over the country about ICE sightings. I'll be sharing updates here as I get them. ⬇️
