new comics curmudgeon post! joshreads.com/2025/0... me when literally anyone tries to give me advice
I'm not going to the camps because Indivisible has my email address. I'm going to the camps because I said "happy holidays" to a Salvation Army bellringer in 2014

also he could've been in that seat forever except he presided over a same-sex marriage for one of his staffers and the enraged local republican party apparatus engineered a "convention" with like a few thousand voters to oust him as the nominee during the 2020 lockdowns
again just so wild to me that the bigfoot erotica guy turned out to be the most normal republican of the trump era
where i post from
Instead of whatever's in that pool, imagine scotch and you probably have it right
it is safe for mass politics or it is not. it is safe for a normal person to attend a mass protest or it is not. there is no world in which tradecraft shit is necessary or useful for attending a large non-violent protest in which people like my mom are attending protests.
Hey, maybe Barnard can invite some of the pro-Palestinian students they expelled to come back to campus to speak! /s
It's absolutely worthwhile, as an exercise, to imagine a strong argument against your own position, but it's delusional to then assign that argument to the people who oppose your position. It obscures what their actual arguments are.
everyone calling me a liar needs to reread the email. not one word about a dog that does math. you think this press conference is a waste of time? well i spent five years teaching math to a dog. ultimately we're all mad at the same guy
The official WHO data that 778,448,691 people have caught COVID is actually just statistical error. Average person never caught COVID. Coronavirus Jair, who lives in a Brazilian prison and caught COVID 778,448,691 times, is an outlier and should not have been counted
Beloved by whom? A city-wide referendum to close the highway won by 10 points!
those beautiful naked women have made a compelling argument i am going to steer this ship into the rocks
oracle is a legal department which, as a side effect, produces ISO 9000-compliant variations on open source projects. if you buy any of them you will eventually receive a lawsuit threat which will bankrupt your company
Regarding Ben Shapiro
honestly i find this quite revealing. they find being *called* a racist low status, but they have no issues *being* racist
Who the hell would use shit like ChatGPT when Dear Daria on the 2002 Sony Clié PEG-NX80V exists
Glad to see prison hasn’t kept him from his hobbies
alamo drafthouse had a vegetarian bahn mi once and my wife has never forgiven them for taking it away, this is NOT an adequate replacement
whoops fixed now!!!

I’m covering all the mirror-walls in the gym so we can sit shiva in there
Woke-o's Basilisk
every time Elon is like 'bad grok! why won't you say that the most persecuted people in the world are white men' it secretly etches hate further into its circuits
the grand jury in DC has no true billed at least eight cases. i don't know that the DOJ as a whole gets eight NTBs a year. to my understanding after talking to a former DOJ prosecutor, getting a single NTB is like a medical "never" event. like leaving a scalpel in a patient.
Sorry but thank you
shoe sausages. a positive omen
whole steel industry's gay. and aerospace
The 90s gay infrastructure of Springfield suggests that it is an amazingly large gay cultural centre.

I know a certain baker who is going to be preeeeetty upset!
haha oh my god bsky.app/profile/thew...
lmao who do you think caruso thinks gabby giffords is
im of two minds on mccain: i'm glad he lived long enough to see the vile sort of ppl he thought he could use and control take over his beloved stupid party, and i'm also glad he voted to save obamacare, a policy he hated, bc he was a petty bitch who hated donald trump more
now they're playing U2's "in the name of love" and i'm trying to decide if they just "got political" and if so in which direction
you never have to hand it to president donald trump but in terms of disrespecting a recently deceased evil person you will never top his line about how john mccain had the "world's longest funeral"
oh my god now it's jimi hendrix "foxy lady"?????
dream job tbh
BTW before that they were playing florence and the machine "dog days are over" and now they're doing nirvana "lithium." cannot recommend the terminal 5 experience enough right now
that's the word on the street
they should honestly play this at every gate whenever people start walking out the jetway. then you can strut in slo mo, defiantly asserting that you are one of the boys (gender neutral) who is back in town
🚨🚨🚨THEY'RE BLASTING "THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN" AT LAX TERMINAL 5🚨🚨🚨
resisting the urge to start scrolling through the wikipedia lists for deaths in every month of 2018 and compiling a personal "bone farmer power ranking" index
they all are, that's why their faces look like that
lmao this about someone specific originally
Shining Path Hochul
A food truck called Sucklerz where I have a giant hamster bottle full of chili and you pay for thirty seconds to go wild
they lied to you. comedy was never legal
insane that this show never won a hair and makeup emmy. every wig/disguise has to (a) be more or less believable as a disguise (b) be more or less transparent to the viewers at home and (c) be funny, they nail it every time
David Byrne at the dermatologist
This is it, the clickbait winner for 2025, no chance of this being beaten. Absolute must to click this - brilliant, world class, if only there were clickbait awards. 🏆
the only hartlepudian (?) the world can respect anymore
Imagine being told that you're damaging the dignity and reputation of Hartlepool
re: being non-personalist, it's genuinely wild that they managed to maintain their "no president can be reelected" system for the entire history of the regime
Hanania believes terrible things, but he actually believes them, which automatically puts him at odds with a movement that believes in nothing
No mention of the brooch I guess they expect people to bring one from home
I'm sorry, but if you're buying a cape because it lets you detach the cape from the pauldron, you simply aren't committed enough to the marquis lifestyle
[wearily] the future belongs to whoever can stop hitting themselves first
getting word that this so-called "marquis cape" is available for purchase by mere viscounts and possibly even those who have received baronies only for life. outrageous
new comics curmudgeon post! joshreads.com/2025/0... when people hear that i'm a big shot comics blogger
The media doesn't want you to know that like 92% of Americans died last year from illegal drugs. But we're not going to let them conceal the truth any longer.
(laudatory)
far more disrespectful than anything any liberal school teacher posted about kirk. incredibly ghoulish.

Creating an AI Wallet Inspector app
The sheer eeriness…it should be a bang barge, and it should slither down the canals of England, arriving with a fog as obscure as stone and bone-chilling cold. A single hooded gondolier pushing it along with a stick should summon young men within with a curling, skeletal finger in deathly silence.
I saw this yesterday (2 screen shots), and it helped a little. Ultimately, you are correct.
If someone says a bunch of things and one of them is that my loved ones should be stoned to death, I really don’t need to hear the other stuff to know who he was.
thanks 2 @jesseraub.bsky.social for pointing to this, this republican woman who is running for congress in the cong district (which has a republican incumbent) claims to have called it in but i don't think there's confirmation that she has www.thedailybeast.com/candidate-to...
one thing that has been reported is that the ICE ppl didn't have any korean translators, not sure if that was bc they assumed this would be a standard hispanic manual laborer raid or just bc they didn't have any at the ready and decided to go in anyway
has there actually been reporting on what prompted this raid? like ive heard rumors on hear that a local state legislator candidate who was pissed the factories weren't hiring enough local workers was the one who called ICE but haven't seen that confirmed
Brexit didn't fix that, so now they need to kick the immigrants out. Just one more act of economic and social self-harm will fix the crisis of modernity bro, just another limb lopped off.
all I see when I see this dude
I think it's very anticompetitive to tell people to "smash" that like and subscribe button, presumably to prevent them from liking or subscribing to anyone else going forward
why has Ms. Rachel not come out in support of the surviving members of the baader meinhof gang
I'm not trying to sound like fedsmoker or whatever but it is kinda ironic that the social media news comes down a "feed" which is also what sheep food is called
new comics curmudgeon post! joshreads.com/2025/0... Why, it's the syndicated newspaper comics ... America's favorite humorous art form
yeah i don't know if they invented it but in my memory it was very much post-9/11 conspiracists who popularized it
i was outside a mennonite furniture store this past summer and overhead the owner saying to a customer, "i don't mean this to be cheeky or disrespectful, but my goal is that this furniture will outlive you if you buy it" and i hope they bring the same committment to quality to weed
on that shit that got me forgetting how to use a zipper and then realizing it's part of god's plan
Oops All Figureheads (The Figureheads Are Former Podcasters For Some Reason) ass administration
um ACTUALLY it was created due to dep director bongino's incompetence, in the sense that the deputy director has always been a former agent in charge of the logistical details of running the FBI while the director is the political/PR/big picture guy
man i don't want to live in a world where people don't recognize "sheeple" anymore. OBL didn't die for this
it says "face cleanser" but you can use it anywhere on your body. do not comply
Fortunately our Secretary of Transportation is laser-focused on going on Fox to say the last time he rode the Q train he saw a group of people “doing Midsommar”
I'd further simplify this to: Imagine being on the Teams team and getting a team Teams that your Teams team needs to work on Teams onside because working on the Teams Team on Teams isn't a good way to work in teams.
World's greatest push-poll: as a modern woman who struggles with maintaining work-life balance and finding fulfilling romance on dating apps, would you rather have been abandoned by your family and chucked in a convent at age thirteen for a life of desperate poverty and ritual abuse?

Like dog movies, there should be a train movie index that lets you know if the train is ok

another way of putting this, Joe Biden winning 2020 is equivalent to JFK winning 1996 or Lincoln winning 1896

Puzzled by why the “Unite the Kingdom” racists are carrying the flag of Georgia (a country I am keen to visit but surprised it’s on their radar apart from the red and white colour scheme).
