The Strait of Hormuz is perfectly safe...

This is a really thoughtful thread.

After a drought of solving the WSJ Meta Crossword, I finally broke my slump. Feels good!

One was a defense attorney. The other owned a tannery.

"The best and soundest of his time hath been but rash. Then must we look from his age to receive not alone the imperfections of long-engrafted condition, but therewithal the unruly waywardness that infirm and choleric years bring with them." -- King Lear, Act I, Scene I

Where's everyone at in Artists Alley for C2E2? I need to know where to visit!

What is the o/u on the guy pooping himself mid-speech?

This US Women's Hockey team outscored all of its opponents 33-2 over the course of these games. They might well be the best hockey team of all time. Absolutely bonkers!

Gotta tell ya. Badgers are out IN FORCE in Milan. Tons of UW gear for the farthest away game yet played by the Badgers. We have friends everywhere.

Who's the most famous alum of your high school? I guess it's either him, or Ron Goldman.

Automatic 0. Contact the parents, allow a re-do for half-credit only if it's their first offense.

Best halftime show since Prince.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

Just No. 1) Immigration judges aren't "judges." They are part of the executive branch. 2) ICE's administrative warrants aren't even signed by IJs. 3) A real judicial warrant is required for arrests in homes (absent exigency). Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980).

@phillipkjohnson.bsky.social Dude, you're finally coming to Chicago??

This is who runs this account.

Ruin a movie by replacing one word in the title with "Sausage" Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Sausage

Sentient, human-sized toe Tom Homan (which is exactly the sort of name a giant toe picks for himself) threatens to out nice people.

Don't confuse the tactical victory for a strategic one. Keep going.

You don't stop playing serious hockey just because you get a one-goal lead in the first period. You high-five your line-mates, squirt some water in your mouth, and get ready for your next shift on the ice.

Just ordered volume 2 of my anti-tyranny stickers for C2E2.

I am a civics teacher. I made a choice to devote my professional life to teaching young people about the vital importance of democracy, about participating actively in civil society, and how this system is SUPPOSED to work. It is an occupation and daily challenge that typically brings me joy.

I believe it is important for students to see themselves as active participants in our civil society. It is important for them to understand the philosophical underpinnings of our political system. vision.icivics.org/pauls-studen...

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Just reported 3 or 4 art bots.

I am seeking an artist for this project - preferably one comfortable with action sequences and historical environments. Mutuals or friends of mutuals only. Will be paid (out of my pocket for pitch pages), funded through KS. If you want to show me art, show me sequentials only.

These kids are all right.

ICE delenda est.

Chicago friends, please spread word.

Here's a question: I have a full script for another New Amsterdam Game comic. And a few more story plans, too. Would people read another NAG comic?

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.

ICE delenda est.

I want a poster of LoZ gerudos dancing with glow sticks and EDM fashion, with Ganondorf front and center. At the bottom, it reads... GERUDE.

My first concert was Raffi, longer ago than I care to mention. He was awesome then. He is awesome now.

How this clown still has his license is beyond me. I'd trust Dr. Doofenshmirtz to treat me before this schmuck.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

"Caesar had his Brutus — Charles the First, His Cromwell — And George the Third...may profit by their example." This Patrick Henry quote has no relevance today.

This news conference is a punishment from god sent specifically to torture US history and civics teachers.

Highly relevant. Still...call your congresspeople.

Mike slowly smiles at the end because he's the one who crop-dusted on the way out, but seeing the younguns blame each other shows how tight-knit a party they are going to be.

Somehow we lined up the Stranger Things finale right and saw Vecna officially bite it at midnight.

Tips for New Bluesky Users: 1. It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century. 2. A half-century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies. 3. A new home for mankind, where people are born and raised. 4. And die.

Where are my comic artist friends? It's time I really got back in the Game, with a friend who has a good handle on heavy action, swordplay, and an eye for some historical detail...don't slide into my DMs, just reply here.

They are so desperate not to tax any corporations, that they're just coming up with some of the dumbest ideas to raise revenue. Just bottom-of-the-barrel asinine shit.

If indeed Trump claims we are at war with Venezuela, I remind you all, as your personal civics teacher, that it is CONGRESS that declares war. Now, if THEY declare war on Venezuela, you should vote every last bastard out.
