I see that while I was drawing this, Mitch poked his head out of his shell and offered a sign of life. Does it ruin the cartoon? Maybe. Do I care? Nah.

Maybe one day the Democrats will wake up and realize that the rules just don't apply anymore and they'll actually start fighting back accordingly. But probably not.

I’ll see videos where people walk around barefoot on their wood floors at home, and I’ll often think to myself, “What must it be like to have wood floors that weren’t around when the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was current news?”

I’m at a bar where the patrons have been cheering the return of the Artemis II crew and feeling great about humanity. the bar owner also told me that on Tuesday his entire crowd was preparing for the end of the world (until it became, thankfully, TACO Tuesday.) That is 2026 in a fucking nutshell.

I thought the whole bit about orange cats sharing only one brain cell between them was just a meme. Now that I have an orange cat, I’m not so sure. At least she’s cute.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
