Obsessed with the absolute shade of referring to Giuliani as “Former Masked Singer contestant”
It's really funny that they wanted us to believe that rickety derelict Giuliani was out on the side of the road heroically "rendering assistance" to a domestic violence victim who knew to flag down his car
BREAKING: Looks like Rudy Giuliani was NOT helping a DV victim at the time of the accident. Article states troopers & firefighters, already on the scene for a separate domestic violence incident across the interstate, witnessed the crash and rendered aid. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Second cousin, it's not like she was his first cousin, that would be weird.
So, the woman whom Giuliani was helping was on the southbound side of Interstate 93. But the car in which he was injured was on the northbound side. And this all happened in the dark of night. www.concordmonitor.com/2025/08/31/r... www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
This would solve all my problems.

Hank's public response to his son's suffering was "these things happen." There's so much crap that Hank Ketcham did that Behind The Bastards did a two part deep dive that's longer than they spent on some nazis. But suffice to say, bro sucks.
Hank had mansions on multiple continents. When reporters asked him about the real Dennis, he just said "I only hear from him when he needs money" as though the estrangement was Dennis' fault, or the money had not been made in his name.
When Alice drank herself to death, Hank didn't even tell Dennis that his mother was dead. He moved to Switzerland, and remarried. Dennis grew up alone. Served in Vietnam and came back struggling with PTSD, poverty, and trauma only to see his own face in papers, tv shows, toys, and merchandise.
Hank, Alice, and Dennis were a real family, but as close as the comic, or promotional photos implied. Alice suffered from alcoholism, Dennis from learning disabilities. Rather than help in any way, Hank called them a drunk Irishwoman and a menace and ignored them to make his comics.
Who's the worst cartoon character? I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics. It's gonna take a thread.

That only happens if someone develops an actual mechanical artificial intelligence, therefore it won't happen in this millennium.
EVs, solar panels, and now, brain-computer interfaces. In a new policy document, China has signaled its ambition to become a world leader in the same brain technology that Elon Musk's Neuralink is building. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/china-...

I’m using Hellboy in Mexico as my standard US trade paperback comic for scale because, of course, I love it. First up, @dstlry.bsky.social’s reserve edition. THIS is the size I want to read their comics. 10 1/2" x 13 1/4" (26.6 x 34 cm). Best of all, it’s on matte paper so the blacks look gorgeous
“If you’re afraid of socialism, you’re afraid of yourselves.” Brilliant My Gawd — the world would be so very different with him here.
Fred Hampton is one of my major political role models. He was assassinated by the Chicago PD (with the go-ahead from Hoover's FBI being an open secret), because he was too successful in both helping Black America and getting people to see the real enemy.
Yeah, three of the fourteen players who played for both Man United and Manchester City in the 1950s post-war period had the first name Spartacus. They were Spartacus Jones, Spartacus Tomkins, and Spartacus Bonham.
film flubs: in the movie spartacus (1960), several different characters identify themselves as spartacus. this scene was mistakenly left in the final cut of the film
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
I think it's just resolve in the face of overwhelming opposition. Composure requires a forced emotional stillness, which is how you may appear to an observer but it isn't reality. Your resolve means you don't have the available bandwidth to reflect on or recognize fear.
PayPal user in the UK lost their account after buying adult ebooks “about monsters and milking,” “some dubcon stuff” “My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”
This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.
I’ve tried googling to figure out what Lisa Cook’s sorority defending her on the mortgage fraud allegations has to do with any judge recusing from a case. Doesn’t seem to be any connection, as far as I can tell.
We talked to @kenbensinger.bsky.social about influencers replacing journalists at the White House. Yes, it’s awful that Trump won’t grant serious reporters the honor of getting lied to at press briefings. But the decimation of FOIA — a source of facts, not spin — is even more concerning.
"Rudy Giuliani nursed an injured crow back to life with warm milk, then drove to a place not a liquor store, and then got in a car accident. After this, an unscrupulous stranger littered the backseat of his car with scores of emptied airline-size bottles of Gilbert’s vodka. Two may have been gin."
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
"...which can eternal lie..."
with trump and giuliani edging right up to the border of death, the comedic rule of threes now screams for blood
You made me laugh out loud. Well, it was more of a guffaw, a hearty guffaw, followed by a loud "dammit!"
A second car has struck Rudy Giuliani
His first wife was his second cousin.
Then Giuliani did his "broken windows" policing, resulting in significant pain to NYPD Black and brown communities. Then he supported the Patriot Act to further "War on Drugs" poor Black folk. Then he did the election stuff that he is still paying for. He was never "America's mayor."
After a Dominican man was killed, mayor Dinkins committed two unforgivable sins: 1) He met with the victim's family, and invited them to city hall. 2) He recommended that while policy boards should have law enforced civilian members, the civilian oversight board should be... well... 100% civilian.
Why were the cops so mad at Dinkins? Well, NYPD were beating and killing a lot of people, mostly Black and brown. The board responsible for police oversight was ineffective, as it was half cops and half civilians. That's like the "Chicken Safety Oversight Board" being half chickens and half foxes.🤡
They also had this thing they'd do to black truants in Queens. They'd pick us up and instead of returning us to school, they would drop us off in white enclaves like Whitestone.
Way before Jan 6, when a Trump speech was followed by his fans storming the capitol, there was the PBA riot, when a Giuliani speech was followed by NYPD cops storming NY City Hall, calling Dinkins, the city's 1st Black mayor, the n-word, and threatening him with harm. Giuliani won the next election
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
the story for how giuliani got hurt is super sketch but it does include “911” so i respect his commitment to the bit
Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️
Rudy Giuliani suffered severe injuries in a car accident last night, according to his spokesperson
I read that as "healing crystals that realign the body's midichlorians."
BREAKING: RFK Jr. has reportedly convinced Donald Trump to fire his White House doctors and treat his congestive heart failure with “healing crystals that realign the body’s mitochondria.”
QUACK! QUACK! Secretary of Health RFK Jr. said a paper that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and disease must be retracted. The journal refused. In an extraordinary move for a U.S. public official, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has demanded the retraction
Worm-brain RFK Jr. blames America's mass shootings on antidepressants. The top users of antidepressants are Iceland, Portugal, the U.K., and Sweden, which have fewer mass shootings in their entire combined histories than the US has in the AVERAGE YEAR. It's the GUNS!!!
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Here is an easy solution to the Pulse memorial crosswalk conflict: The state of Florida has jurisdiction because the crosswalk is on State Road 527. If the Democratic mayor and city council of Orlando authorize and paint a city crosswalk 50 feet away, the state should have no enforcement authority.
Pathetic and cowardly. Your tax dollars at work
www.wusf.org/politics-iss... They are covering up rainbows honoring #LGBTQ+ people who were murdered. Now they are covering murals honoring #BlackLivesMatter. Florida is one very HATEFUL state!

Yes I am superficial enough to be affected by the aesthetic presentation of a messenger.
When the messenger looks like their fucking face is melting I cannot pay attention to the message. When the messenger's bad choices are so obvious and up front, nothing they try to say to me will break through.
There was a recent controversy about Will Smith sharing videos of crowds at his concerts that looked AI generated. Analysis shows two mishaps; Will Smith used AI to turn photos into videos and then YouTube shorts also automatically “enhances” videos with AI. Turning the photos into AI slop videos.
Is this supposed to mean something to me?
She looks like she's melting.
Welch: The people that elected Donald Trump are the people that he's punishing the most with this stuff. And you guys, if a democratic president was doing this, would be going bananas. You guys would lose your minds.
California Highway Patrol will continue to protect Kamala Harris after Trump pulls Secret Service protection. 😏 California will always be a thorn in Trump’s swollen ankles and clogged arteries. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...
Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes” This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part
