Cartoon: Dr Doomin. Because @chuckwendig.bsky.social :)

Pessimistic, I know. Dear god, someone prove me wrong

It rocks that Rick Moranis turned down returning for the last three Ghostbusters movies but is all in for Spaceballs 2, Canadian excellence

There is no universe in which it is acceptable for a Secretary of DHS to say anything like this. Kristi Noem must resign immediately. Or be impeached.

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

Hey everyone, did you know @thomsonreutersnews.bsky.social's parent company has DHS contracts?

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

I think it’s a bit offensive that transphobes think women are so inferior at sport.

Historically, this is the time when white allies run away. When things get a little scary, they run back to the safety of their privilege, leaving black and brown people to fight alone. I refuse to put aside what I know is right. I refuse to disappoint them again. Let's stand united. 🇺🇲

If your eyes are exposed to tear gas or pepper spray, etc. – Flush *immediately* with water, water, and more water (Don't use milk). When in doubt, use more water.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

Badly needed, seeing as how so many of my fellow countrymen have no idea what freedom means

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

Grim to watch everything play out pretty much exactly how they said it would, and people still don't believe them.

More of this, please

True story bro.
