That's fantastic!

4-panel cartoon in which one person explains to another that his dog doesn't bite but can hurt you in other ways. The dogs says, "Array indexing starts at 1."

Now I know how vampires feel in sunlight. The pain...

Me too

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is about to go on an angry rant, as Green raises his tail to halt him. Blue: And don't get me started on- Green: Wait! Before you start... Blue frowns at Green as Green looks at him calmly. Green: Do you want solutions, or do you just want to complain? Blue: Can I just complain? Blue looks surprised as Green looks over his shoulder. Green: Sure, but let me make myself some popcorn first. As Green leaves, Blue looks stunned towards the direction that he left. Blue: I may do some warm-up screams while I wait. Green, already off-screen: Just don't start without me!

Thanks to the magic of subscribing this glorious thing shall soon be mine! All mine! [Insert evil laugh here]

LOL. Same two I posted last time!

I know this is last minute, but if you're nominating for Hugo's this year, @mightymur.bsky.social is eligible for best series and she really deserves it! The Midsolar Mysteries is an amazing series and you should read it and, if you can, nominate it before moms close today?

Please?

Two for the price of one.

Finished season 1 of Hijack and greatly enjoyed it. Nothing I'd call a spoiler here. Just saying that Alice is my hero. Also, love that Marsha's "type," re men, appears to favor extreme competence.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Just take the win! 😂

Random happy thing.

Quick poll

A. Image search on the web has degraded to the point of near uselessness.
B. I have become a grumpy old woman shaking my fist at the cloud.
C. Both A and B.
D. Other.

That may be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

To be clear, I am 100% on the strikers side and am appalled and mystified by this official's statement.

Minnesotans strike in protest against ICE surge: ‘No work, no school, no shopping’ Organizers demand ICE leave state and agency be investigated for constitutional violations

"This is beyond insane. Why would these labor bosses not want these public safety threats out of their communities?” a DHS spokesperson said in an email in response to the economic blackout.

“These are the criminals these labor bosses are trying to protect,"

Thanks for the repost, @jordankurella.com ! I'm only afraid that the speed with which you did it might have unspun the fabric of space-time. 😄

I swiped past a Facebook ad today, in 2026, offering to teach me to use 10% more of my brain. I thought this fallacy had been dispensed with long ago, but perhaps not. We already use our whole brain. Now, if someone could offer me a way to add extra storage and CPU, that would be cool.

Are there really still U.S. citizens who don't see that immigrants aren't the danger? Our government is the danger.

Of The Empire We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness. Mary Oliver Red Bird (2008)

Leave it to Mary Oliver to sum up what I said in a long-winded essay in one beautiful, heart-wrenching poem. 🤨

(Seriously, though: When Oliver veers from her usual, gently-moving-through-our-aching-world structure to drive home line breaks, you KNOW she's not a happy camper.)
