This thoughtful analysis from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social is well worth your time.

seattle, come through!

When all is said and done, Azeen Ghorayshi at the New York Times will go down in history as helping to cause incalculable damage to an entire generation of trans kids. I hope advancing her career is worth dead trans kids. She's absolute scum.

I totally missed this news yesterday but wow, this is awesome news for the Seattle hockey scene! apnews.com/article/pwhl...

Trump: I have launched nuclear weapons at Tesla. Very smart political knowers: they're just trying to distract us from other things.

Onomastics

Can I reshare my past Korean folktale #KidLitArtPostcard about Resistance 👇🐯🐶

Idea: a government space program that is properly funded

FDR worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler. Why won’t Democrats work with Musk to defeat Trump?

Listening to Canadian news is basically just everything is on fire also we need to fast track approvals on resource extraction.

Just saying if you're in Jersey, love comics, and wanna have a hell of a Saturday next week you could hit up @cerealpancake.bsky.social and I's signing at @eastsidemags.bsky.social (2-5PM) and then roll over to @thegeekerynj.bsky.social and @gregpak.net 's after!! Make a real Comics Day of it!

Radio! It's a sound salvation!! On the air right now at The Voice of Florida State. 89.7fm or on the web at wvfs.fsu.edu.

NASA has gotten to space without SpaceX and can and SHOULD do it again. Let's not overstate the range of possibilities.

Almost all-- 94%!-- of the shrimp we eat come from huge industrial farms abroad who're infamous for using forced labor, banned antibiotics, and destructive environmental methods. jimhightower.substack.com/p/should-the...

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are our values as a state. Happy Pride, Washington.

I used the 'helpful advice' of guys who told me women would never be able to stay in comics as pavers on my walkway to staying in comics.

It's been overtaken by the Musk-Trump feud, but this session with Merz continues Trump's streak of the most embarrassing/appalling Oval Office meetings with foreign leaders in modern U.S. history.

Republicans would lose their minds.🤯

One of the things I am most proud of w/the clinic is that we have a $3000 a month “wrap around care” fund for patients. It’s for people who can’t afford their 20 week scans, or dental care, or meds, or counseling for trans patients. Once we bought an urn for a late loss. It’s June 5 & it’s gone.

REP. GOLDMAN: “.. I called for the full release of the Epstein Files a month ago because of my suspicion that @AGPamBondi was concealing the files to protect Donald Trump. Now my suspicion has been confirmed.” @mediaitenews.bsky.social www.mediaite.com/politics/hou...

Senate GOP are lying. Full stop. Not “misinformation”. Not “misleading”. It is a lie. Knowing, intentional, from Senators who are aware of the law. Undocumented *do not* receive benefits. At all. Of any kind. State or Fed. No Medicare. No Medicaid. No disability. No SS. No food assistance. Nada.

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

Deathloop is free on Epic at the moment. I liked that game a LOT.

Current forecast for Trump's glorious DC birthday tank parade: thunderstorms and near 90. That pavement...it gonna buckle.

Already saw at least one Dem Congressman making the same point about denaturalization and just begging, begging people not to descend to the level of calling for stripping the citizenship of people you don't like.

One of my fav interviews I've ever done, please listen

well worth watching the whole thing!!!

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

Elon Musk has accused Donald Trump of being in the Epstein Files. Here’s the most important follow-up question: was Joe Biden too demented to release this information? Read my book to find out. Jake Tapper tomorrow in the NYT

BREAKING: 59, er, sorry, 60 South Africans are being returned to South Africa from America effective immediately. Update: South Africa not accepting these deportees. Our Gov has been contacted for hosting them on our Island. We respectfully suggested they build Alcatraz faster.

I think we can stop calling this kayfabe now.

it's sort of amazing that the abundance bros never seem to acknowledge one reason we can't have nice things is because our building standards and codes are voted on largely by anti-urban ruralists and suburbanists... our urban land use is dictated by homeowners and landlords take the lowly elevator

Gov. Tim Walz called Tuesday’s major law enforcement presence in south Minneapolis “chaotic” and said his Department of Public Safety had no advance notice.

I have to tear up and rewrite a couple days worth of work and you're laughing. Well, I'm laughing too. But this probably puts me working into the weekend now.

Palantir threatened to call police on a WIRED reporter and kicked out other journalists from a recent defense conference following reports of the data analytics firm's work with the Trump administration.

Gates has a bit of that western empathy afterall, you know that which elon thinks is a weakness.

sometimes I regret warping my brain being so online. but not today. oh no, not today.

Elon Musk has questioned whether Donald Trump was replaced with a body double, days after Trump reposted that Biden had been assassinated in 2020 and replaced with multiple clones. Our critic asks: Are body double clone conspiracies having a moment?

Always happy to get a chance to share this classic... theoatmeal.com/comics/angler

guys i need to get a 6 pack of beer i'm fucking losing it

You love to see it! 👏

I know this is a hard concept to grasp for most of the brainwormed political posters on this site, but one of the ways that Rs were able to pull down Bidens favorables was millions of tiny cuts in the form of mockery, derision, & shitposting online over the years. Volume mattered more than quality.

Normally, people are only sent to a federal supermax prison if they are very violent or disruptive while incarcerated. But now the administration is planning to send people there as a punishment in and of itself.

Update: whether it be our job or not we don't have a boat.
