UPDATE I HAVE BECOME WORSE
;)
They serve you the stuff in those tiny little quenelles because you would die right there at the table if they gave you more than half a cup
Fun fact: Michelin-starred mashed potatoes are usually a full 50% butter and no I did not stutter. 50%. Half.
this whole conversation felt like the prosecution scene from "a few good men"
Dinner and a show, gang
🐷🐷🐷🐷
I want more black sci-fi!
Currently in Guadalajara, but a mass email will be going out to creators when I get back. Cause fuck these people for fucking with ICC.
Again, the exhausting thing for me in the current era is not only being treated like fucking idiots by actual idiots, but the mainstream press position that treating me like a fucking idiot is in fact the reasonable position.
My 78 year old mom: *primping her hair* Is this a cunty little bob? Me: Uh...
The image that inspired my most popular comic.
A verification? My Something Awful forums account was free.
Age verification? Cigarette smoke haze in hospital ER waiting rooms.
Protesters shouted “Free DC, free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time” as Trump dined at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in DC
I searched libgen itself, and it turns out they have almost every book Iron Circus has ever published. They don't show up in the Atlantic Search because they were uploaded without author names. @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social authors could help destroy them singlehandedly.
The vibe is just fucking atrocious, and I genuinely believe attracts the kind of people who secretly wish they could have experienced the antebellum American South
Reminder that feeding your cats raw food at this time is NOT safe. The speed at which cats go from a light fever to dying of pneumonia or neurological symptoms is just a few DAYS. I lost 2 cats to this in March and had around 20k in medical bills to save 2 others who were hospitalized.
Ahem. If you wanna tell your grandchildren (or your grandkittens, whatever) that you were about that life your moment has arrived.

c'mon US kids, time to have some fun
i'm selling a guitar on marketplace and some doorknob offered me a pixelart nft of the same guitar in trade and sent me an image of it and told me it was a 1 of 1 so i downloaded it and replied that now it was a 1 of 2 and this was the last thing he said before i blocked him

Here's the finance minister trying to escape half naked.
Trump Claims He Can’t Be Expected To Remember Every Birthday Card He Sends To Child Molesters https://theonion.com/trump-claims-he-cant-be-expected-to-remember-every-birthday-card-he-sends-to-child-molesters/
This is not the end of the RICO case, but it's a reminder that the State's campaign of repression is destined to fail. What happens next will decide whether the AG simply returns to the drawing board for the next round of attacks, or is finally held accountable for their abuses.
Gen Z in Nepal burned down the parliament, burned down the homes of government officials, forced the prime minister to resign, and paraded the finance minister through the streets nearly naked.
Your semi-regular reminder that a Dutch mob killed & ate one of their prime ministers
“A new volunteer-led organization called Grandparents for Vaccines launched Sunday on National Grandparents Day with a mission to share firsthand experiences of life before vaccines were widely available.” [kgw.com]
Insurrections occur in waves; the unrest in Indonesia has spread to Nepal. Whatever happens next, this revolt should give pause to politicians and police who imagine that they can pillage and terrorize with impunity. Today, money may insulate you from the consequences of your actions; but tomorrow?
I have officially reached “👵🏾👵🏾👵🏾 It's so nice to see the young people getting outdoors and having fun 👵🏾👵🏾👵🏾” years old
Listening to the panelist discuss working on a show for a large media company for over a year, pouring his soul into it, and then casually being told by execs the show was canceled before it ever aired, and that is genuinely the most universal experience creatives can have in Hollywood
I guess Ewoks can be blue now
Snuck into a panel :V
I haven't watched Episode 1 in a hot minute but I'm pretty sure this is about how it went down between Watto and Qui-Gon
Another September, another deluge of social media posts from PNWers convinced they have fiddle, wolf, or recluse spider infestations. Comrades. It's just giant house spider mating season. You don't have an infestation. They've been there the whole time. Now they are risking death for girlfriends
“hi Spike, thanks for coming down. I’m a fan! “ Me: *belches, falls over, explodes*
Instantly recognize literally seconds after spilling chai all over myself

Anyway, today I learned green apple chai exists, and I’m really into it!

This is what allyship looks like, btw. Recognizing what’s happening in real time and actively countering it.
History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.
Lol like do I even need to point out who ALSO enjoys eliminating artists and intellectuals? Do I really need to go there? Y’all truly do not hear yourselves, sometimes.
Frankly, seeing the occasional chatter from self-styled leftists casually condemning artists and intellectuals as “elites” makes it pretty clear how Dekulakization happens.
The swiftness with which revolutionary fervor transforms into petty, vibes-based axe-grinding is pretty terrifying, yeah. A hunger to dethrone a tyrannical monarchy, but on ground level you’re stringing up your neighbor because he owned one more milk cow than you did & you always hated him for it.
Yeah, like respectfully, opsec is in fucking shambles. Bluesky is public and you are NOT as anonymous on the Internet as you think you are.
I was picked up at the airport and accidentally said “Arigato“ to my driver at one point and absolutely wanted to shoot myself in the face, how’s YOUR night going?
Lol well that worked. Hola, Guadalajara!
I have unlocked the most obnoxious outfit in Cat Game and I am about to make it everybody’s problem
“we can’t exist without you and wholly rely on you but also, fuck you, loser, ha ha ha ha ha”
Chicago forever

I see some of you dragging a shit take from the fascist site over here to dunk on it, a) why are you still on the fascist site to find that shit, b) why are dropping shit onto this site, c) when you dunk on it you just give it a new audience. Leave shitty fascist takes on the shitty fascist site.
Anyway, remember this comic? I made it before I ever heard of "The Summer Hikaru Died," but I don't expect anyone will ever believe me, now. (fifth, final panel in reply)
Don’t wait to organize your cities until it’s too late.
Breaking News: A court upheld E. Jean Carroll’s $83.3 million defamation judgment against President Trump after she accused him of rape.
Shocked and saddened to hear that Matt Haasch, founder of indie manga publishing company @starfruitbooks.bsky.social has passed away. His gofundme campaign for his medical and other expenses is still up - contribute if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

Most people are not huge pieces of shit, and people who try to convince you they are are either selling you something or selling you out.
Aaaaaand SCENE. Chicago, thank you for the best show of the year to date! Hopefully we’ll see you back here at Printer’s Row Lit Fest next year!
CANADA, UK, AUSTRALIA!! y'all all have official petitions targetting paypros censorship! IF YOU LIVE IN THESE COUNTRIES, SHARE THESE AROUND AND SIGN THEM ASAP. And verify by email! CAN www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... UK petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... AUS www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...
A reminder to teachers who choose to add AI to their curriculum: you are training your own replacement. An AI avatar cannot actually do your job, but that won't stop some tech bro from convincing admin that it can replace you anyway.
sometimes they get so close
Btwn the salt trucks and another unsourced video I just saw purporting to be from Chicago today with a reply saying it was from two months ago figured we could all use a reminder
Old pros at this Wedded Bliss thing, eh :V Congrats to you both!
Holy moly, SPX is NEXT WEEK??? We'll be there at our typical table H1. We won't have new books this time around, but we /should/ have a reader copy of Slices Life! If you pre-order a copy at the show you get some goodies and free shipping when they ship in November.
Massive plus for all outdoor festivals: excellent dog watching
More reasons to be anti-AI

Still trying to understand the Hyundai ICE raid. Supposedly a months-long investigation that... picked up people here on visas, permanent residents, and U.S. citizens? I also haven't seen anyone charged under 8 USC §1324a for hiring undocumented employees. 🤔 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...
I’m sorry, “the vice president’s mother was a drug addict so we’re allowed to just extrajudicially murder anyone we vaguely handwave as being part of a cartel” is a real argument people are making? in public? under their own names?
I keep seeing kids in their late teens and early 20s romanticize the year 2016. “It’s 2016 and you’re listening to this song…” Guys, nobody liked 2016. Until 2020, it was considered one of the worst years anyone had ever seen. Everyone cool died. It was fucking miserable. Stop it.
How are people like this even real
Not the guy at the living-artist-focused art gallery booth talking about “a lot of cool things are happening with AI”

Gotham Bagel!
In ruling after ruling, on tariffs, deportations, aid, and more, Trump’s agenda ran into one word again and again this week: No.
it's cool how when you say "hey maybe we shouldn't have a system that necessitates everyone that perform a highly technical, complicated, and dangerous task just to go to the grocery store" car brain people will respond "just drive better" before blowing through a school zone at 40mph on their phone
Verdit: ehn Pickle was amazing tho
Hell awaits with pointed teeth
Next they'll outlaw playing hopscotch. 🏳️🌈
Just got a $17 bagel, this better be the best bagel I’ve ever had
Word. There are literal Amish two hours outside Chicago. I am serious. You will see horses and buggies on the road. And while they don’t vote, the Trump-voting assholes in the suburbs who like to pretend Chicago doesn’t carry this entire fucking state on its back sure do.
This one video sums up dangerous Republican vaccine denial in a nutshell.

If America ever gets past this disgusting low point, the concrete should be kept, and an intricate multi-colored mosaic should be placed on top as a reminder that we always have the choice to build something beautiful even from a horrific foundation.
That’s how you know ConcernedApe is American
