Have you tried eating a truly unsafe amount of tortilla chips and salsa to fix your problems

FBI Warns Second California Senator Still At Large theonion.com/fbi-war...

We live in a time that just makes you feel like you’re going absolutely insane. LA being portrayed as a Mad Max warzone because of a few burning cars in one area. Israel bombing other countries being framed as “self-defense.” Up is down, there is no shared reality anymore.

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

i drew this 19 years ago. it wasn't prescient, they've been telling us what they want to do for decades

AI can try to summarise Wikipedia articles but the detailed recaps of DC Comics crossovers will defeat it like the Russian winter defeated Napoleon

WHY DO ALL THE JOBS PAY $50,000 NOW THAT THE RENT REQUIRES YOU TO MAKE $80,000

I don't feel as though a healthy society should rerun this headline every five years:

shel silverstein on the LLM, 1981

In America, the path to collective liberation is Black liberation.

If you're born with six fingers in real life the bravest career you can have these days is YouTuber.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

O, gracious! However shalt I build team synergy, an' my direct-reports receive not a thermos of the non-temperature regulating physic, branded 'ere with our corporate logo!

FiDi can be pretty, too.

today at @1900hotdog.bsky.social i wrote about an ancient web page documenting a man's life-ruining obsession with a single scene in the 1960s Batman show 1900hotdog.com/2025/06/fuck...

NYC's "Get to know your candidates" book is BONKERS. The left page is a Democrat's articulate, 500-wd statement on issues they'll betray, while the right page is Ronny from Staten Island's handwritten plank of "We need to insert more freedom in the America, oour the childrens' lifes are at steak."

Some Millennial Republican had to explain who Toad was to the president, and it made him absolutely furious.

I did a year without internet at home before getting an ISP for work, and I just can't tell you how much I've missed having to refuse AI services every single time I open any file or webpage for any reason.

The smarter a libertarian thinks himself, the more isolated his childhood plainly was.
