Always have been Washingtonian first and American second, wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of Washingtonians feel the same

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”

It should be extremely illegal to receive an email saying "item shipped!" and when you clicked through it just says "label created". Shipped means you physically put it on a TRUCK jackass!

The Marathon (the real one, 1994) box was a work of art:

Been a while since I've had a reason to draw Red Sonja. This was a private commish from a few years ago.

The Labors of Trump-cules

That's dirty!

This is cool (the first one especially)

Nancy 7/2/26 … “Summer Camp” Part 2

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller July 03,1940

Personally I think anyone who climbs the Empire State Building should be killed by biplanes, whether or not they’re a gorilla

"Rul jol, lok." When unsteady, rise. "Rise." Brace yourself and push yourself harder above the turbulent winds. Do not seek the safety of the ground. Rise and seek greater glory instead. --Excerpt from Wisdom of the Flying Gods

Every once in a while I think about how Biden offered Zelenskyy a ride out of Ukraine and Zelenskyy instead asked for bullets. DSA candidates are offering bullets but there is nothing particularly socialist about bullets, Jeffries could become a Lord of War tomorrow.

An American Tail, not a joke answer, seriously

Seeing people praising Nintendo in light of Sony's announcement and... Nintendo isn't "better" on gamer's rights, they're just "consistently 10 years behind the rest of the industry". Believe me, they'll get to the same place Sony is, just years behind

It's World Marine Aids to Navigation Day on the 1st July, so here's a quick thread on some aids to navigation. Now the first and most obvious aid to navigation is dry land. Dry land - pay attention at the back - is strongly suggestive that you can't go sailing here.

turns out in space actually everyone can hear you scream. so shut up

And in the more artistic categories, nobody dared take on the might of this marvellous carved vegetable whale. They were quite right not to.

AT&T sent me a text reading "your local store is moving addresses!" and I rated that text at a I Do Not Give A Shit factor of 28, but now they've sent a SECOND one saying the first one is in error and that address is still open and my I Do Not Give A Shit-o-meter is off the scale

The court news this morning is re-affirming my hatred of the word "historic" in news articles

Washington has been successfully and securely voting by mail for decades. The option to postmark our ballots on Election Day is an important way we make elections accessible to all voters, and it's particularly impactful for rural and military voters. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Druids, master of stealth.

With the decline in ad revenue, some newsrooms only give out riding crops to reporters now, shame

Turned into a pig because the wizard was in a bad mood after dropping his potato chips

Far and away the funniest in my opinion is that scene in Silent Movie where they're trying to impress the actress in the studio cafeteria-- the problem is they're all wearing suits of armor disguised as extras in a medieval film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6bd...

Part of why housing discourse is such a mess is that when housing prices are successfully lowered by local government policy (which is exactly what happened here!), it gets reported by the local paper as bad news.

I got a cheapo elliptical and it's good but we have to do something about these brand names. Don't make me say "I'm gonna hit the pooboo" or "It's pooboo time." Even now, I'm pooboo posting

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974, Mel Brooks)

If you're alone and life is getting you down then you can always go downtown If your shoes are floppy and your nose red and round then you can always go to clown town

"Hey Quebec, give us a tax credit." "Are you a Canadian company?" "What? DC? WB? No." "Are you filming in Canada?" "Iceland is kind of close to Canada?" "... ok good enough."

I’m ready for my close up.

For fifty years, fans, critics, and scholars have debated the meaning of the Eagles’ acclaimed 1976 recording “Hotel California.” Our new paper uses advanced AI analysis to finally reveal the hidden truth: it’s about what if there was a spooky hotel

mad how the defining cultural image of Steamboat Willie is Mickey whistling and driving the boat, and not the bit where he plays a pig's nipples as a musical instrument while it shrieks in pain

"This British journalist is describing a technology as an abomination." "Landmines? Fuel-air bombs? Nuclear weapons? Leaded gasoline?" "No, hand-held electric fans"

The date is November 19th 2026, I have just bought Grand Theft Auto VI. It takes 8 days to download, I pee in a Gatorade bottle. It will be the greatest art humanity has ever created. I start the game. I see a fake electronics store called ‘Circuit Titty’. “They’ve done it” I think. I begin to weep.

Forza: Woo! Haha!! Let’s party!! Let’s go fast!! It’s so fun to be young! Gran Turismo: Alongside the grand piano and the espresso machine, the automobile is one of the most sophisticated inventions in human history. Consider yourself lucky to even be on the same planet as cars, you neanderthal.

I hope the utterly ridiculous movement of "muscular christianity" remains a thing for a long time so we can continue to make fun of it
