When I bought my EV last year I was surprised by the registration cost. But I remembered gas taxes largely go to roads, and I'm using those roads too.

The logical answer is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Let's hope you're right.

My sense was that the half-marathon thing was a stunt/PR way of calling attention to the product without talking about replacing human workers.

I suspect they weren't testing speed (or even running) but durability of all the articulated joints over the long haul. Like Consumer Reports does with washing machines.

A robot articulated like a human being that's going to do humans labor (a whole other discussion) wouldn't need running endurance, but it would need endurance in general. I assumed that's what this was really testing—making sure the various parts kept working, like Consumer Reports does with cars.

More than most comics artists, his characters seemed to be living in the real world.

Tom Waits just released his first original song in 15 years, in collaboration with Massive Attack.

RIP Frank Stack, who worked on my favorite one shot comic ever, ‘American Splendor: Transatlantic Comics.’ THE best, in my opinion, American Splendor artist.

Someone had fun with this headline.

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like.

This is the stuff I truly miss.

Did he tip her or stiff her (I mean, beyond the way the GOP is generally stiffiny workers)?

Bluesky doesn't give me enough characters to tell the joke that ends, "No, that's God. He only thinks he's a doctor."

I just want to know if he tipped the delivery person.

Republicans Chose Armageddon Over Checking Trump—They Just Got Lucky It can not be bygones and quiet relief. Democrats must try to remove Trump from power, even if Republicans block them, because he's shown he'll hold the whole world hostage.

If you're gonna use the term, save TACO for situations where Trump can reverse himself, and damage is financial or abstract. This is not that. This is a madman taking the world hostage, causing death and global chaos, sparing us from civilizational ruin for his own opaque reasons. No moving past it.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The day will come when nobody will admit to having voted for Trump.

Over the decades have met, interviewed, learned from countless combat veterans, decorated heroes, men and women who lost limbs, eyesight, comrades to enemy fire.

Have never once heard any strut or cosplay/crow about "lethality" or "bomb our little hearts out" as we're getting from Prez/SecDef now.

Language changee and builds new meanings. Should I not call something a comic book if it isn't funny? "Comics" has a broader meaning than that, and now so does "OG."

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

It's trying and failing to do what the Northwest Airlines logo did so brilliantly. (And Northwest even threw in a compass point.)

"Two weeks" might become Trump's "light at the end of the tunnel."

Oh, and given your username, you'll probably like an idea Gary came up with but never sold: The Helm of Nabu accidentally falls into the hands of the wrong person, who then becomes...Doctor Fake!

As did co-creator Gary Cohn (not on Bluesky), and he even completed his masters degree there.

Things didn't turn out well with the second series, but I focus on the fact that DC gave us an incredible opportunity with the first.

Glad Amethyst means so much to you. She does to me too.

There was not supposed to be a second series, but DC was in talks with a toy company and needed an ongoing book. So it was hurriedly and poorly planned. I decided to leave the book, and just as Gary was righting the ship, he got fired. A missed opportunity all around.

On the off chance Hegseth ever read Mark Twain's "The War Prayer," he probably took it as an invitation to bloodlust.

Another problem with the filibuster that I don't think you quite get to is that it protects the GOP from the consequences of their own bad proposals. Yes, it protects the country too, but maybe people need to see what Repub governance really leads to so they're more motivated to throw them out.
