40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.
School closures have somehow become lib-coded when in fact lots of conservative places did it too!
They don’t care about the schools they care about using the (unavoidable) harm to children’s development as a club against the people in power at the time (who were somehow not Trump? Or Trump was in charge when it was necessary but then Emily Oster said it was too long so Biden Bad? Whatever)
CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND (The CW, 2015-19)
Easily top three Mann
Yeah I need me those books.
Happy birthday Walter Simonson!
we love June, we saw the HDTGM show in Berkeley years ago and it was a hoot
big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high
I had someone equating my skepticism about AI to luddism against photography and Photoshop and all I will say is that at least in those cases humans are making decisions about what goes where. Putting cooked food in a blender and demanding a Michelin star is devaluing not just to artists but art.
Ford frustrating his desire to create a product line that literally read "SEXY" was one of their better acts in the past 20 years. Legitimately surprised that the model S badge doesn't use the "cool S" from high school
it's the flip side of "effective altruism", the old branding, where any action necessary to secure the flowering of the species 10,000 years from now was necessary and right - "any action that stands in the way of abundance is wrong"
I’m probably going to regret saying this but sometimes I wonder how much of elite dialogue is driven by rich people being upset by how dumb their kids are/what shitty parents they were.
That guy’s smile is vulpine
The bit about “She will always be stepping into her power” was just great
…..of course, the idea that they would have school buses is seen as insane (or insanely expensive)

Real question, is 27 particularly young to begin as a professor? Seems barely enough time to finish a PhD.
Dem electeds just ceding the premise to Trump and MAGA on issue after issue…. “well yes crime is a huge problem but…” “well yes immigration is a huge problem but….” “well of course COVID mitigation was a disaster but….” total loser shit.
I've never seen such a disconnect between Dem elected/staff/consultants and actual Dem voters. The latter understand what's going on. The former are awash in right-wing brainrot, hence @schatz.bsky.social blaming COVID mitigation and BLM marches for the GOP's wanton destruction of public health.
![@EsotericCD It was in this moment that many of us hanging on to a thin sliver of trust in our institutions irrevocably lost faith in them. One of the most poisonous blows to public trust in living memory - worse than the effect of the Iraq War in many ways. RFK Jr is a direct result of this.

i always think of the beavis and butthead where beavis is imitating andy rooney when i think about him
I will admit that I may be saltier than is warranted but honestly I think I’m only like 2-5% more salty than is required.
it’s like putting already-cooked food in a blender and then demanding a Michelin star. The arrogance of thinking that “prompt engineering” is the equivalent of the flowering of the human spirit expressed through creativity is an offense
I think there is a significant and politically counterproductive tendency in America that might be called "hairshirt leftism" where pretty much everything must center that purported fact that we are an irredeemable nation of sinners
THE INSIDER was not an instruction manual, CBS!
If the fact that you don't see a lot about "Genocide Don" on social media makes you think that U.S. policy toward I/P has improved, you would be very mistaken www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/08/trum...
Thanks, and this is why.
I mask everywhere because my wife has chronic illnesses and COVID could literally kill her, or at least destroy her energy levels and leave her bedbound (she’s already largely housebound). Some guy asked me “are you sick?” And I just dropped the whole thing on him. I want people to know.
Marbury is perhaps the only precedent even this court would never overrule, given that it undergirds all of the decisions made since - if the court’s load-bearing authority were challenged, and its powers limited to more constitutionally appropriate level, then the entire edifice falls.
But the idea that the courts have some sort of papal infallibility is the result not of Constitutional structure, but a power grab in Marbury. Over the centuries the ability of the other branches to respond has atrophied, until we have shadow docket edicts and indulgences paid with RVs and vacations
It’s true that something in one’s past can often be better than what is in the present - CDs are better quality than streaming music! - but the future is also an undiscovered country to everyone and the past is so, so seductive.
Nostalgia is never about objective quality, it’s always about someone remembering when it didn’t hurt to get up from a sitting position.
This is very likely correct
I remember getting made fun of in 4th grade for using “prodigious” from comic books no less - shout out Hank McCoy the Beast
i love your artwork and your dedication to it!
masked anonymous police are the antithesis of freedom or public service
It really is
“Trump is always watching and cannot be chiseled” (Only he may do the chiseling)
when G’Kar walks out
Is the singer someone in particular? Or is this just for the use of her in that context? (Which I agree is quite good)
I realize it’s comical and privileged to say “I’m glad I’m getting solar installed this month to isolate me from electric market fluctuations” but….
Oh yes! I still have the Egyptian Book of the Dead. I broke it out the other day when we were discussing canopic jars
Wasn’t the whole point of Life of Brian to satirize religion and groupthink in a way which was adversarial to popular thought? The problem is these guys have gotten older and are now the establishment.
Not that Democrats were ever anywhere near uniformly good, but I really do have fear that the outcome of the Trump era is the same sort of degraded meme-stonks brand of politics just overwhelms everyone, and we’re slouching towards Megalopolis
I had that exact same copy!
Listen i watched Stargate again tonight I don’t have time for movies I haven’t watched
honestly I mistook all the excitement about the Taylor Swift news earlier this week for this
i was telling friends tonight that when the Taylor Swift news came out, I was entirely lacking in context for people's excitement when I logged on from California, so for about thirty seconds, I was hoping
The reason it’s so widespread is it feeds the grievance narrative almost central to having conservative beliefs, that by defending tradition they are punished and therefore more negative polarized
“Astrology influencer” oh lord
I suppose I’m being too earnest but objectively it’s a bad thing for government to be shut down and services interrupted no matter who is doing to take it in the face for letting it happen. But yes if anyone deserves reputational harm it’s that sack of sacks of shit.
whoever would take the blame for it, it would be a bad thing for our country
I remember how my best friend had respiratory problems all throughout our middle school years. Oddly enough, when we got to high school, they disappeared!
“Trumptember” sounds like “Toyotathon”
“We agree but I’m smarter??” GTFO

lol no I got it from someone else
It’s pretty awful
Whooooooooooa
Oh Jesus
Ha ha ha yes
I mean that’s an entirely different quadrant of ass being shown there.
“I think children should die because their parents voted wrong” is pretty insane stuff. Like, Pol Pot would be nodding and approving.
This guy is either doubling down hard on a bit or serious and either way it’s not a very good look for them.
This series actually started out very strong - a real body horror nightmare scenario - but ended sort of weakly, as if they failed to adequately pace a limited series.
I prefer my exploitation to be artisanal rather than institutional.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
I remember picking up #38 with that sweet cover
Comics can bill that void with pictures
I still think about one incident 25 years later. My poor baby.
What the absolute fuck The idea that that traitor piece of shit should get the same honors as my father enrages me.
Peter Morgan wrote a play and movie about David Frost getting Richard Nixon to admit something that Trump routinely says sua sponte www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/08/rega...
This is true! Juries are one of the many lines of defense of criminal defendants. You need to put yourself in the mix.
Shame if that happened
Really easy to narrow one’s definition of humanity from “everyone” to “legal residents” to “citizens” to “Christian white citizens” to “Trump”
“Youth is wasted on the young” is a truism for a reason.

40 years ago at 8 I was walking myself to school a mile uphill both ways in the snow (I am not joking), and going all over town. To see how far we have fallen.
Darth it really is disturbing to watch those, just the most Juche on the Potomac things I’ve ever seen
True Poaster
I mean here’s your next book
I’m so sorry this is a terrible situation.
Thinking about how the Times would have covered Joe Biden doing this and feeling calm, serene, like I'm floating in a vast warm ocean
I mean that’s fine if they hold themselves to that same standard.
I mean most likely New Haven CT - the pizza is 💯
Hey John Roberts, I wish upon you indigestion that robs you of a good night's sleep for the rest of your life.
My wife has said if we ever leave this area we’re going to have to move to somewhere with a similar density of healthcare services, which … definitely limits options. But with her health situation, I definitely get it.
The tilt-table test is really the only way to diagnose POTS, so if you think you have that, get one arranged
Uuuuugh my wife has ME and POTS and I wish those on no one except every elected federal official in the Republican Party. OK, maybe just one.
a big problem with the death of media outside of urban areas is that we could use a lot more sensational reporting on the Murderous White Trash Terror That Stalks the Red State Heartland
