CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

How come everyone is always forgetting that Newsweek is a garbage clickbait publication riding on a brand name big in the 80s?

"Mr. Patel sued Mr. Figliuzzi, accusing him of defamation and saying that since being confirmed as F.B.I. director, he had not spent a “single minute inside of a nightclub.” Mr. Patel, who lives in Las Vegas, belongs to the Poodle Room, a members-only club at the Fontainebleau resort near his home."
