Looking at what's entering the public domain in January, and it looks like 2026 belongs to the girls.

Gender is a performance and I'm Turtle Dreams

People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not

I've worked enough retail to know this is just about whipping obedience into employees and has little to do with the actual shopping experience. Only the Karens care if you're smiling. Keep boycotting Target.

I'm liking Pluribus so far, got some real "sit around and have philosophical debates on the science fiction idea" juice going.

Over on my Forgotten Comic Strips account, the Jim Davis Mr. Potato Head comic that I feel is somehow more obscure than Gnorm Gnat.

Sometimes I boot up Google Street View and go to my late grandfather's house. Years ago, the cameras caught him working on his yard, facing away. Nearest thing to a ghost you can get, I imagine. It makes me wonder what echos we'll all leave behind. What I'll leave behind.

Can't let an endless list of human rights abuses, murder of journalists, modern-day slavery, etc etc stop you from building a temporary THEME PARK

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

Watching Celebrity Traitors, and there's a lot of UK pop culture that's passed me by, so I didn't know what Charlotte Church had been up to since her "look at how good this small child can sing" commercials in the late 90s. Seems like she's a really cool druid now? Neat! Love those snake tats!

sorry guys i accidentally deleted the spreadsheet with the first drafts of homophobic potato chip brands and it turns out it was somehow load bearing to the entire driving system and the only guy who knows how to fix it got fired in the union busting so

The article makes mention of a Gremlins cartoon on Max that started in 2023, and it probably says something about Gremlins' viability as a franchise that this is the first I'm hearing about it. Anyway, no Dante, no sale.

My fully ironic enjoyment of Blood on the Sand can only take me so far with this guy.

Youtube algorithm decided I need to see all the Lorax Youtube Poop videos from eight years ago, like I'd ever ever watch that stuff. Look, Youtube, you don't know me but my name's Cy I'm just the O'Hare delivery guOh God

What a day, huh? From beginning to end.

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

Andrew Cuomo, there's nothing in this world left for you, please go walk into the sea and leave us be.

lol they're playing Kendrick Lamar's "Drake is a pedo" song at the Zohran Mamdani rally. Drake never not catching strays.

Tonight is for the anxiety crash. I'll be joyful tomorrow. Good job.

Decision Desk has called the New Jersey governors race for Mikie Sherill. Yet another state where millions of dollars in anti trans ads didn't work.

HOW TO FEEL ALIVE

Watching The Terror on my break, and I hadn't realized how much Jared Harris had found his niche in playing "exhausted smart guy who nobody wants to listen to" roles.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

A perfect video to post today

Coming up on Sample Platter, a "special double-length episode of a Butch Hartman show where our young boy protagonist tussles with a future version of themselves from an evil timeline" double feature!

In honor of Dick Cheney's passing, go vote for someone/something he would have absolutely hated.

"Dick Cheney's Dead" scans to the same rhythm as "It's raining men"

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

My favorite story about him is a reporter asked his feelings on having a new donor heart and he genuinely did not understand the notion that he might be grateful to the donor or even curious about them

Remember when Dick Cheney shot an elderly man in the face, then forced HIM to apologize?

Dick Cheney died! About fucking time, dude had like a dozen heart attacks throughout his life, which is kind of poetic for such an evil motherfucker. We're starting off the day right.

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

Please vote tomorrow. Please.

it's election day and there's important stuff on the ballot in many cities. i want to say as someone who's generally skeptical of the national election cycle and doesn't believe in electoralism as an end unto itself, voting in local elections is SO important. everything that matters happens locally.

we love covering good/popular stuff, but the main purpose of What A Cartoon is putting together 2.5-hour podcasts about shows like Capitol Critters, Laverne & Shirley in the Army, and THIS

Short AMA while I wait for some files to convert?

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs. www.vogue.com/article/teen...

Ignore the shaving cut and the five o'clock shadow. I'm really a kid, just like you!

Gonna be honest, I am terrified of Tuesday. I'm not sure I have the strength of heart for more bad election results.

The 2026 Doctor Who Christmas special is probably our last shot at resolving Susan while Carole Ann Ford is still with us, huh? What a weird place this franchise is in right now.

Girl, I'm gonna have a STORY to tell after this month

mods are asleep time to post hot sonic

Not even a full day into it, and the time change is already kicking my ass.

I love baseball, but goddamn do I hate baseball.

I think this is the truest baseball tweet for me
