🥱 Why does Batman not kill the Joker 🥱🥱 Why does Batman not give his money to charity 🤯🤯🤯 :

The last few times I've been in Washington and I've seen the National Guard on the streets of Capitol Hill or in the Metro stations, I've wanted to shout at them, as Green Arrow does at the Army in The Dark Knight Returns, "You goddamn fascist sons of bitches!"

I went to the grocery story this morning, and I was a bit mystified why the price of gas was lower than it has been. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the world is draining their oil reserves, and we're about to run into a supply wall. The market is acting like everything is normal, though. :(

"Carrot juice?!?" is a better exit line than this.

Trump was handed the opportunity to preside over a feel-good moment of national unity on July 4, 2026. All he had to do was for once in his life, not act like an egomaniacal lunatic. Instead, he's made a complete fiasco of the nation's 250th birthday.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Read @bnightengale.bsky.social's article on MLB expansion. Mentioning Salt Lake City as an option is insane; due to climate change and draining the lake, it won't be inhabitable by 2050 at the latest. The basin will be like the land around the Aral Sea--toxic. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Trump’s behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I can’t help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person.

IIRC, drones are illegal in the District. Not that Trump gives an eff about laws.

They're called accomplices.

Name your fav non-DC or Marvel comic book movie.

Washington is built on a reclaimed swamp. Of course there are gnats in summer! I've done the 4th of July fireworks and concert on the Capitol lawn twice. So very hot! So many gnats and bugs!

Seventeen.

because if there's one thing people remember about Wrath of Khan, it's Kirk getting a retinal scan

Condensed cream of broccoli soup. Once heated, stir in a cup of rice, cover, and let sit. Stir in queso. I don't know what it is, but it costs about a dollar.

Even if Kamala Harris accomplished absolutely nothing because of a hostile GOP Congress and a partisan Supreme Court, the whole world would be in a better place.

"An AI consultant tells Axios one of their clients recently spent half a billion dollars in a single month after failing to put usage limits on Claude licenses for employees." 😂😂😂😂😂 www.axios.com/2026/05/28/a...

It’s interesting watching the people who absolutely love it when Trump calls female reporters “piggy” or “fucking bitches” clutch their pearls and cry because someone called Stephen Miller an ugly fuck.

An aspect of this story is that removing federal employees rights makes them less able to resist illegal actions. Its illegal to put living people on currency. But the Trump administration just pushed out the public employee. This is what they mean by "The Deep State."

I think about this a lot.

Doctors didn't think Obama or Biden needed one, my dude.

conservative pundits (sneering): actually our christianity is more a set of ideological views about race and gender than anything resembling faith or observance everyone else: yes we know, it's not a secret

"You are one of the most corrupt and evil beings this Time Lord race has ever produced. Your crimes are without number, and your villainy without end." Borusa was speaking of the Master when he said this, but he could just as easily have been speaking of the corrupt Texas AG Ken Paxton.

Lennon AND McCartney? In *this* economy?

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Trump gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to [checks notes] •Rush Limbaugh •Jim Jordan •Devin Nunes but not @devincow.bsky.social •Charlie Kirk •Rudy Giuliani He has degraded it to the point where I'd rather win a leaky bathtub plug.

I dreamed of Exton last night. EB Games sent me to tear down the store, and I was trying to take that big yellow cashwrap for myself. No idea what I was going to *do* with it, mind you. I've had Exton on the mind recently for other reasons. I've been thinking about that phase of my career.

"Exceptional health" doesn't necessarily mean "good health." This White House has lots of liars more than able to palm that card.

My high school BBS was a beautiful moment in time. USENET and alt.society.generation-x was a beautiful moment in time. The beginning of the blogosphere was a beautiful moment in time. The early days of Twitter were a beautiful moment in time. They were great, and now they're gone. It's fine.

The DJT Ego-Trip War Without A Purpose ends with things worse off than they were before. Billions spent. People killed. The rules & checks for fighting wars are due—in part—to help prevent one-man DUMB and DANGEROUS presidential choices.

24th-century polycule, anyone?

Truth.

Of the male main cast, of course Riker wore the skant.

At the time, I thought Dubya would find a way to disappear Colbert, maybe into Gitmo. It was brave.

Fourth Kelvin movie? Role for NPH? I'm in!

This is making me lose my mind. Are these people so divorced from their own imagination that they can’t even understand that artists are intentionally not depicting reality?

I'm listening to some of Murray Gold's Doctor Who music on YouTube, and I hadn't realized until now that "Doctor, I Let You Go" would segue directly into the reprise of Wings' "Band on the Run." www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_O2...

My sister texted me yesterday about Exton Square Mall. I didn't know it was all but abandoned. The storefront on the lower level, behind the escalator with the colored tiles? That was my first EB Games store. The tiles were the EB 2000 color scheme. www.crossingbroad.com/news/rip-to-...

Nothing like discovering that employers just lets Indeed know "Not selected by employer" instead of sending a rejection directly to the candidate. Why, there's a job I applied for on Monday, I emailed them my resume and cover letter directly, and "Not selected by employer."

1) Job market is shit and being made worse 2) Gas prices are historically high and will double over the next month as supplies dwindle 3) Consumer prices will spike in response 4) Washington is more interested in war and placating the whims of a mad god-king than bread and butter issues

Should I apply for a job with [local unnamed college]? They've only ghosted me *three* times in the past year. Yes. Yes, I will.

This is a terrible idea, Buster Olney, for the same reason the Cubs didn't hire Ryne Sandberg as manager and erred in hiring David Ross -- at some point, the franchise is going to have to fire a team legend, and no one really wants to do that.

Real question: the fuck do you guys think the word meant before
