A Bonus Daily Cartoon by Felipe Galindo.

It was the last functional piece of infrastructure in Los Angeles!

Sorry vibecoders, the only "OpenClaw" I care about is the failed grappling claw the CIA built into the Hughes Glomar Explorer for their attempt to salvage the soviet submarine K-129 from the floor of the pacific ocean as the classified Project Azorian.

This reads like a parody, but nope it's a real LinkedIn post

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

why even bother with the Lego videos

It's interesting to see some young people on social media embrace the surrealism and hyperreality of our era. I'm not sure if they could articulate it or not but they are clearly feeling that this is all simulacre.

finally, my masterpiece, now on Bluesky

Oh interesting. It's because the real URL ends with a period which bluesky ignores.

This extremely baller display was in Marty Krofft's office - a letter from McDonald's ad agency complaining about a 15k fee, then a million dollar check from the lawsuit they won after they successfully sued McDonald's for copyright infringment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_%26....

One day this will be us.

On a more serious note, this does show the necessity of a big-tent single-issue pro-democracy coalition. Autocrats lose when anti-authoritarianism is the opposition-uniting priority, and win when they can play divide and conquer on lesser issues.

sold out in my size, unfortunately. unclear why they would make any sizes other than XL

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

I’m also in the middle of the NASA-Turnstile-Volvo Venn diagram

accurate

I realize it's not a huge surprise to learn that LAPD are regularly using small drones to monitor protests, but I think it deserves some attention.

A pair of coyotes got a possum in the front yard last night. Drew a chalk outline around the body this morning and checked the cameras. (Viewer discretion advised)

In June 2025, LAPD began its Drones as First Responders (DFR) program. They make about 20 flights per day, and have flown as far as 3.5 miles from the launch stations. Raw data is from cloud.skydio.com/dashboard/LAPD, which I then analyzed.

I am here for messaging that the THREAT alone - regardless of if it's carried out or walked back - should end his presidency.

The die is already cast. You cannot wield the power that man has and say that kind of shit.

The self and the cyberself in quiet introspection

Gemini said An image where a map of downtown Los Angeles, centered on a point labeled LAPD HQ / Central, is completely enveloped and nearly obscured by an incredibly dense and complex web of thousands of multicolored lines (vibrant pinks, purples, blues, greens, and oranges). The chaotic, organic-looking network radiates outwards from the LAPD hub like the tangled dendrites and axons of a neural network, with the HQ text at its central nucleus or cell body (soma). In sections, the bundled parallel lines closely resemble striated skeletal muscle fibers, while the overall texture and the vibrant, fluorescent-like color palette strongly mimic fluorescent microscopy images of cellular components or protein webs. The complex biological-like structure almost entirely covers the city grid and the numerous circular blue 'H' icons (heliports), creating a high-magnification, organic texture.

This map I'm working is looking a bit biological.

weird juxtaposition where people in power and influence are saying absolutely heinous, deadly things without any restraint of conscience, and everyone reacting to it is having to bite their tongue and speak in euphemisms not to get banned or arrested or whatever

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?
