A footpath sign, with angle brackets serving as arrows on each side of the words "foot path", so the end result looks like an XML or HTML tag.

Hoping there's another sign at the end labelled </FOOT PATH>

Two things can be true:

Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and

Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

A photo of Kieron I took as part of some reference for WicDiv years ago, in a park in London, by a bench on some grass. Over the horizon, I added the words IF TRUE so that they appear enormous across the London skyline. This was funny to me when I first made it, and it's still funny to me now, so you're seeing it again.

Huge if true

I’m not sure why I’m getting such a kick out of this, but on my walk this morning, my foot slid on something laying on the sidewalk. Looking down, angry and expecting to see a pile of dog crap, I found, much to my delight, that for the first time in my life, I’d actually slipped on a banana peel.

screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -

POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad

VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??

POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, two people are standing in the forest, wearing backpacks. The red-haired person says "I've never hiked with a naturalist before! I'm excited. I hope I brought enough water." The brown-haired person says "I'm sure you did. Let's go!" In panel 2, the brown-haired person points at various nature features. "Look, a red eft! It's the teenaged form of the Eastern Newt. Ooh, wintergreen! Wanna smell it? I hear a Chestnut-sided Warbler. Glacial till. Rubble of the last ice age!" In panel 3, the naturalist points to more nature items. "This forest seems early successional. Aw, a leafcutter bee with a piece of leaf! Wow, deer poor! Wow, fungi growing out of the deer poop!!" The red-haired person says "Okay, but..." In panel 4, the red-haired person continues, "It's been an hour and we've walked three feet." The brown-haired person exclaims, looking excited, "Three amazing feet!"

Sometimes you make a new comic, and sometimes you redraw an old one because you lost the original high res file 😅

The upcoming Shia-Catholic alliance is going to result in some immaculate aesthetics.

A McDonald’s where the sign has been reduced to McDo.

There is no McTry.

As far as I know there is literally no reason for this, it is just an incredibly lucky coincidence that we get to enjoy for free

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

One thing that made me happy years ago was that when the staff at @talkingpointsmemo.com emailed @joshtpm.bsky.social and were all "we're gonna start a union," his reaction was "well, yeah you are" and recognized it immediately. So, subscribe, maybe.

Sorry I'm late. There was an online form and I had to scroll to my birth year.

ABC Bank, still the tallest building in town

So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it:

International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.

I always smile when I see old photos of ZZ Top. This one was taken in 1975 (I think) and it is a DANDY.

Women don't want you to be jacked, we want you to be Harrison Ford.

Happy ThinkGeek Remembrance Day to all who celebrate.

[P] I can never choose between these two

For a second there, I went to Shields and Yarnell.

tl;dr: NIH is running at about 60% of pre-Trump levels and NSF is running at about 20% of pre-Trump levels of funding-outlays (some directorates far below even that). Utterly catastrophic. An unforced disaster for U.S. society, and the world

Today is the 128th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship in U.S. v. Wong Ark Kim.

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

Seeing a million people turn out and snake through a large city is very cool, I won’t deny that

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet.

This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

I’m working towards getting to this point of magic interaction with puppets.

I always loved how Jim Henson basically made himself disappear on The Tonight Show.

He was a MASTER! He was always my biggest inspiration.
