Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Abolish DHS needs to be the moderate position

I was made aware of those episodes today (for some reason), and found them quite informative and insightful. For those who have no idea what we're talking about, we're talking about these: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nyE...

Screw the device; I want to know how this woman over 65 looks so young.

If you think acoustic-guitar string-scraping makes the music sound "real" and "authentic", you're part of the problem.

... disincentivizing manufacturers from producing vaccines. Leaving a gap in vaccine production and access that will leave people vulnerable. Creating an environment where preventable disease will run amok. Where people will die. Stop RFK Jr = Save Lives standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

Comparisons to The Station fire are accurate: fireworks sparked it, but the acoustic foam ceiling panels should not have been in the building.

I've started in on my annual box of dark-chocolate covered cherries. Now the world tastes like Xmas. May you all find whatever brings you joy.

In college, I had to read the Department of Defense’s Law of War manual. I kid you not when I tell you that firing at the shipwrecked is quite literally provided as an example of an illegal order.

In case you were wondering where your favorite nihilistic web-comic archives had gone.

The worst I ever got were a small handful of these. I swear they were smuggled out of Italy in someone's armpit.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Zuck has decided to pull out of this particular race. What's odd is that he just plumped down $27 billion to create another datacenter in low-regulation Louisiana. Perhaps he plans to use someone else's AI tool on FB's data? www.cnbc.com/2025/10/22/m...

I gave up watching American football in 2016. I used to love the strategy, tactics, and athleticism. But the evidence that it destroys brains became too conclusive. Sadly, one set of destroyed brains becomes murderous. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

I am not one of those people who enjoy "immersive" theatre. If you like/love it, bully for you. To me, it's an evening of frustration and being _way_ too close to people. So I did not need to learn that there is now an immersive version of "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Dare I try it?

If you see this, post a goth and a punk

Cry harder, Kirk-suckers.

So… since we pretend like we don’t care about being the forgotten generation but really are filled with angst without it… what are our most GenX gripes? I’m at the stage of complaining about teenagers never leaving their houses and getting into trouble like my friends and I did.

I need everyone to know that there’s a guy in Toronto who white girl dances to Kesha & he now gets recognized in public. People are ELATED about joining and it is just the best thing.

if only we had a recent example of what it looks like when the mainstream media decides the president's mental state leaves them no choice but to bury him in an avalanche of negative coverage.

Superman (1978): You will believe a man can fly. Superman (2025): You will believe the most powerful man ever is fundamentally good. And whose strongest epithet is "Golly!", which he delivers unironically.

The only happy fireworks dog.

#jazzsky #SPAC And finally, closing out this year's Fest, TROMBONE SHORTY & ORLEANS AVENUE!

##jazzsky #SPAC La Excelencia inspiring the whole crowd to dance

##jazzsky #SPAC West coast party jazz from Cory Wong.

##jazzsky #SPAC Saxophone 🎷 Gary Bartz in sparkly jacket, going all modal on us.

##jazzsky #SPAC Ladies, gentlemen, and everybody else: the one and only Cassandra Wilson. (Yes, that's a bodiless electric bass behind her.)

#jazzsky #SPAC DJ Logic & Friends. If hip-hop is your thing, this is the jazz version. I'm loving it.

#jazzsky #SPAC The Brandee Younger Trio. Sadly, you can only see one of her arms clearly; the rest of her is behind her harp.

#jazzsky #SPAC Al diMeola Acoustic band: two guitars, drum kit, and percussion. Every now and then, we need to be reminded that the guitar is a Spanish instrument.

#jazzsky #SPAC Sunday starts with local favorites, the Skidmore Jazz Institute Faculty All Stars. Their students are paying for their day passes by sitting up front for this set. The profs are jamming on a Paul Chambers tune.

#jazzsky #SPAC Gregory Porter takes the stage. If you're unfamiliar, imagine Lou Rawls but even more fluid.

Whose idea was it to schedule Lettuce and Clifton Chenier at the same time? I know, I know; scheduling is hard.

#jazzsky #SPAC Funk masters Lettuce!

#jazzsky #SPAC ARTEMIS! And on the intimate second stage, no less. Allison Miller on the drums!

I'm taking care of my meat-suit, listening to Veronica Swift on the main stage, but Artemis is about to start on the second stage, so no photos for the chanteuse.

#jazzsky #SPAC Keyon Harrold, leading his quintet on trumpet 🎺. Kind of smoky, kind of space, moody and sharp.

#jazzsky #SPAC The Michel Camilo Trio. Hot Latin piano!

#jazzsky #SPAC Nicole Zouraitis. Smoother than my wheelhouse, but an excellent scatter, and when singing lyrics, sounds like a young Joni Mitchell.

#jazzsky #SPAC Kenny Garrett kicks off the day!

The String Queens, a very good string trio, but more like "chamber music pops" than jazz. Very expressive, tho.

🚨RFK jr. is currently testifying before the House Energy & Commerce Committee's Health Subcommittee. We're keeping a close watch. Follow along for updates HERE ⬇️ (🧵):

This article is going to turn me into the Joker. Literary style is not a puzzle you solve to get a little information treat 😩😩😩

Natasha needs 17 people to buy this digital comic. At $16, it contains the equivalent of five comics (around four dollars these days), so you're getting a Deal. (This is really a compilation of 10 stories, each around half a comic.) Click thru: she also has a Patreon.

This morning, I had two emails back-to-back in my Inbox with the following Subject lines: "Did someone say SHORTS?" "Did someone say glow-in-the-dark toilet paper?"
