“This is a Christmas card that Al Horen sent me in 1966 or so. That’s 60 years ago. It features Mickey, Popeye, and Charlie McCarthy! The top half folds over. When it is lifted, this is what we see” Source: Mel Birnkrant

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.

The ugly secret is that AI is a narcissist machine that’s programmed by people who desperately need validation for a lonely, isolated population that desires an increasingly frictionless existence.

The ambivalent return of Sunday Funnies

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness. We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

We live in an episode of Veep

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Abolish ICE. Bulldoze the ballroom. Jail the collaborators. Should be the Democratic platform.

They confuse Venezuela with the vuvuzela, which is a thing everybody hates and will go to war over

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Singing in Spanish and you're shitting yourself in terror? Crying like a little bitch because the road had a rainbow on it? Screaming hysterically that Portland has been invaded because the wizard frog gyrates at you? This is what the manosphere votes for? You mewling little fuckweasels.

A young, beardless Jim Henson with a car trunk full of Muppets Henson was BOTD in 1936

I wouldn’t tell anyone I’d won $2.50 on the Powerball, but there would be signs—

here's the truth about charlie kirk that abc is censoring along with the trump administration. we won't be silenced. he was a hateful bigot who pushed conspiracy theories and lies. his legacy is hate on top of hate. we won't shut up.

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Last Sunday funnies for a while. Thanks for reading.

Portland, OR

Seems to me if we had the greatest political system in the world, it wouldn’t equip a maniacal bully with the ability to demolish everything in the world on a whim, to protect his ego from knowledge of his own profound ignorance.

Keith Vaughan painted just twenty still life oil paintings over the course of his career. This work 'Pomegranate, Lemon, Cup,' painted in 1948, consists of a tabletop with a striped tablecloth and angular forms.

I’m a professional drag queen, an Episcopalian, and I’m married to a man But prob the gayest thing about me is that I’ve recently become obsessed with Keeping Up Appearances 💐

I started singing the National anthem to my mother over the phone and thought it would be funny if I just went ahead and belted out the whole damn thing. She let me finish then said “your stepfather wants to talk to you,” an obvious lie but I felt I owed it to her to pretend it was true

Good morning!

When we finally start to build community and solidarity.

I'm sure I'm being naive, but I hold a microscopic hope that ICE will have trouble recruiting people for its expanded brute squad. I know lots of people like what they're doing, but the majority of them have jobs or own car dealerships and won't want to give that up to go on daily parking lot raids.

Would’ve been nice to make it to 250 but 249 is a pretty good run I guess

Capitalism invented the “cost of living”—a system where just existing racks up an endless bill. You’re forced to constantly earn just to survive. That’s not freedom. That’s a trap.

The Neoliberals who control the Democratic Party play a pretty predictable game. Any policy that isn’t focused on helping the wealth class is framed as “dangerous” or “unpopular,” even as it wins elections and polls incredibly well. Then, corporate media reports this as true without examination.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

you don't see husbands realizing they forgot their anniversary and searching for a gift and seeing the necklace their wife wanted in a window for $50 and pulling out an empty wallet and moths flying out and then seeing a poster that says "BOXING MATCH FIRST PRIZE $50" and saying "hmmm" much anymore
