I was so exhausted from everything I slept like 18 hours yesterday and last night. Sunday didn’t exist for me. I think I’m finally feeling ok today. How are you?

I had a midnight sweet cravings. No sweets in my apartment. But I have apples, brown sugar, butter and rice paper 🫶🔥 Creative mind can be used things outside of making art.

Donald Trump was not shot and Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.

US soldiers, inexorably shipping out to the Persian Gulf to die in the AIPAC vs Iran War while invading Kharg Island, have been greeting each other with extra crisp salutes and a deadpan, "FOR EPSTEIN!"🫡 🙃

Sociopaths are terrific at spotting other sociopaths. {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Quick PSA: Most corporations don't use their tax cuts to create jobs, give back to society, or lower costs. They just give their CEOs more money.

Anyone else experiencing this? iPhone weather app and Weather Channel app showing me completely different temperatures for exact same location for days now… 6C difference is HUGE. Crazy.

At this point, -8c feels warm. Human adoptation to climate is fascinating.

My sister has a very powerful job. I got a voice mail from a headhunter who was calling me, yeah she said “hi Yuko”, but she was actually trying to headhunter my sister. All the details in the voice mail was her job description. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I brought all my glasses to a near by Warby Parker. They take secondhand glasses to be donated to those in need. They asked me if I wanted the glasses cases back. I said no, I will never be in need of glasses ever again.

Hello #PortfolioDay I’m Frank Barbiere and I write comics and video games, teach, and generally try not to be an asshole. These days, I’m trying to tell stories that stand for something and always looking for collaborators and likeminded chums.

If Donald Trump doesn’t like being called a pedophile protector, he should stop being a pedophile protector.

How many dead bystanders is too many dead bystanders for an arrest? Asking for a Congress...

Insanity: Sources close to the White House told the Washington Post Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country because she accepted her Nobel Peace Prize rather than demanding it be given to Trump, which was viewed as an “ultimate sin.”
