Good morning. Immigration is good. Trade is good. There are nuances but they are narrow enough that free and open movement of people and goods should be the default.
Thank you @ncgovernor.bsky.social! Can't wait to get mine. Rolling up my sleeve now.
Reminded me of this SNL skit... which is utter chaos, but hilarious take on beanie babies youtu.be/zatUernhzNw?...
No
Hell no

Once again, this is nonsense. Worse, actually.
I hope you are enjoying the UK! Great show yesterday!
I guess this won't ever happen, but wouldn't it be great if King Charles restored the role of court jester? Like imagine a guy in a funny suit who juggles, sings, and then when important people visit stands up and talks shit about them.
We've had some beautiful hikes up in Western NC this week. And we've seen 3 bears already (from a good distance). We'd love to move up here someday.
Millennial parents, having long been very excited to not have any prejudice of any kind about their grown children's partners are suddenly watching as their kids bring home people with mullets.
So urban workers will be sent down to the countryside, then? If only history could be our guide…

I mean, what, did we send these things to Business School?
I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.
I feel like I could at least respect if political leaders would knock down legal barriers with a folding chair, instead of just ignoring them. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/slam PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
Ugh... remember the powerpoint presentation about the WMDs? It was so dumb back then too
That healthcare plan (ACAv replacement) is still 2 weeks out, right?
Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself. Ever
dooH niboR
Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.
Bro, I don't even have time for video games I want to play. I'm already over saturated with entertainment.

Something worth remembering about immigration: it's not a choice between values and pocketbook. You get both. The best evidence is that immigration enriches us all. If you want to convince yourself, imagine the USA didn't ban Chinese immigration in 1882, or immigration more broadly in 1924.
Reminder that the Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted supposed anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%. But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.
Ha! Someone sent me this comic of mine from about 15 years ago, predicting the TRUE THEORY OF VIBECODING www.smbc-comics.com?id=2362

Well done
It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.
Thing that amazes me no end -- never, ever, in discussions of debt and deficit, is the revenue side of the equation mentioned.
Hey, that's Local Time! Sorry we missed you there. It's a great brewery!
OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/
The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.
No need for credit, but thanks for reaching out!
Krissy got to fire up her rototiller for the first time today. Taters and tomaters coming up later.
Everybody who can land a Hornet on an aircraft carrier at sea gets to make snarky remarks about this. That’s it.
Outlaws was such an incredible game. What an asshat.
Let’s all remember that this being done deliberately. The White House is the exogenous actor here.
inject this shit directly into my veins star wars is a ridiculous universe with space wizards and laser swords and apparently all I ever wanted was someone to take it completely seriously as a "how does this work in practice" study of fascism the way Andor does
pro tip: very few people right now want to hear about how your conscience wouldn't let you vote for Kamala. shut the fuck up
@kairyssdal.bsky.social I listen to the Marketplace podcast in the mornings on my way into work. Great show. Today, I REALLY enjoyed the "C.R.E.A.M." musical interlude after the bond market story. Now I've been listening to Wu-tang all morning and having a banger day! #Wutang
Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.
Their 2009 guide to Lisbon was incredible. We had the best vacation thanks to that book.
Please post some! Can you start every fact with, "JESSICA", in that intense David Tennant voice?

I mask when I feel sick but I still have to go out.
This game is so much fun
I know it's only March and there's a lot of games coming this year, but holy shit #ACShadows might be my favorite game of the year. It's incredibly well done and fun to play. I'm not even very far in and could be my favorite AC game of all time.
This is a perfect description of him
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.
Poor Jack
I'm honestly running out of words I can use on the air to describe what's happening in and to this economy
Jumping into blue sky
Ok, I have to say it: Ubisoft did an incredible job with Star Wars Outlaws. It's a fantastic Solo RPG, a great Star Wars video game, and a really cool story set between Episodes 5 & 6. It's like FarCry in space and I had fun for 40 hours of play. Well done.
I hope this one is titled "Subset", that's the word where I started laughing hard. Love this one!
I don't usually laugh at my own jokes but this one is doing it for me
Why don't they screw up the way we screwed up?! It's unnatural!
@lauritajd.bsky.social
To be fair... many Christians are... unaware of the meanings of Lent, Ash Wednesday, or the liturgical calendar. That's the most diplomatic way I can put it.
If you didn’t see this coming you haven’t been paying attention
Or the Benny Hill theme
I heard you like nostalgia? smbc-comics.com/comic/fads
Oh cool! I only know his "Pinot Noir" song
Came here to say this. This is the answer.
I'm the heat machine in the relationship so I am rarely in socks. My partner loves wearing socks to sleep.
They left off an entire row for socks on/off.
You do have that one comic that seems pretty pro-patriotism and anti-nationalism. That one's awesome.

I’m at the MAD TV 30 year anniversary show at The Baked Potato on Ventura. I’m the only one here — does it start later? Little help?
The exuberance... It's irrational!
Betty Davis Eyes!
My friend reminds me constantly: "shutting up is free"
I'm a father of middleschoolers, so I understand that my perspective is niche.
I agree with this 100% and I've had the right-wing talk with everyone I've shown it to. But RRR is also PG13 and so it's been much easier to share broadly than an R-rated movie.
I found mine through D&D. It's not exclusively male, but the dudes and neighbors I've found as friends through it have been amazing.
Not sure I'm pulling this off, but it makes me laugh
Gross. #ThickThighsSaveLives
Same. Our 2013 Model S still feels like a car of the future and it's 12 years old now.
Honestly, the worst part about this WHOLE thing is I bought a Tesla years ago and it's the best car I've ever owned.
Agree, but then I also think the markets have been in irrational exuberance mode for years now.
This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.
There are only 15 matches played in the #SixNations and every single one of them is compelling. Even the dead rubbers have pride or a trophy at stake. Might be consistently my favourite international sports tournament. Today’s games were terrific.
Eddie Jones though... WTF?
Oh man, in the US we have two jokers on webcams giving commentary at half time. One of them played for the US team and one has a bunch of American football paraphernalia behind him... Ugh
And we're here for it!
I like Wales, but I thought the same thing after watching. They have some good talent but they are still rebuilding and this team might have a rough tourney.
I feel the same way. England supporter, but had an uncle in Wales who loved the game. Really hoping they climb back up that hill.
This was so weird/great! Enjoy!
Please play disco elysium. Like not to be dramatic but it's a really important piece of art and I'm sure some part of you will change after playing through it. I don't know what the truly moral means of consuming it is and I'm kind of at the point that I don't care just play it if you haven't.
there are people out there saying "keep politics out of video games" and their favourite games will be like Fallout or Metal Gear
