LOOK AT HIS EYES
Tragic figure, this Cornholio fellow. To be willing to openly debase himself - and for what? TP? For his bunghole? Yet I am forced to ask myself if I would fare any better. To wander in desperation for TP, only to be met with ire. Perhaps, instead, we could learn to freely express our needs.
Two panel comic. Panel 1: a digital kiosk at the entrance of a parking garage with a dispensed ticket. The screen display reads: PLEASE TAKE TICKET BELOW. Panel 2: a T-Rex is sticking its little arm out the window of its partially opened car door, trying to reach the ticket.

There is something in this that I've been trying to articulate for a while about bias as authority - where a new kind of deference has emerged that's framed as "even this person thinks so" and the more biassed you are (read: the more morally bankrupt) the more authority you're given
a tweet from @/ThefirstJonk on 2/19/25 that reads: "Oh so no death cab for ugly? Ugly has to walk?"
got a much needed long laugh from this
Hey, isn’t the fake? And is it true you’re blocking people who point out that it’s fake?
This disproves a lot of right wing ideas about the causes of the decline in marriage rates
But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

I used to be an adventurer like you! But then I died 😔
People are dunking on the headline but the article is pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek: the reporter interviewed people at different Waffle Houses asking if they had observed teleportation

You can’t project that onto the internet without being it!
Trump is dismantling the forest service, exempting projects from the endangered species act, destroying the department of education. These are based in statutes duly passed by Congress. If Trump has the right to unilaterally do this then “executive” means nothing.
This is genuinely scary shit. This is incredible damage that will take decades to undo
Finally lol
Artemis Pebdani and Danny DeVito, the unquestioned king and queen of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
