Needed something different tonight. Did a quick doodle of the North American NES box art Mega Man. Not that fond of the Tekken version. Other than messing up the boots, I think this turned out okay.

I found this via Google. I don’t know if it’s genuine or a joke; if it was removed & reposted, or anything. In short, I have NOT been able to verify this, but it wouldn’t surprise me. (If any of you know more about its veracity, please say so.) washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

One, this is such an out-of-touch thing to say that I'm not even sure I need to add anything. And two, right-wing outlets like The Blaze the Washington Examiner are running stories on how she's being mocked online for this, when you know that they would absolutely be blasting this same nonsense.

He reminds me of this MST3k short where the 1950s kid learns how much housework his parents have to do every night, so he decides to pitch in. Only Miller ignored it and took the opposite lesson. The sense of entitlement is astonishing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bavu...

NEW: A data broker owned by major airlines sold domestic US flight data to DHS, telling the dept. not to disclose that, according to records obtained by @404media.co—copublished in partnership with @wired.com. No paywall bc FOIA @josephcox.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

I heard about Brian Wilson and thought about this song. ("Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmcN...

We feed you. They hunt us.

Musk now "regrets" some of his tweets about Trump. But since he doesn't say exactly what "too far" means, presumably he regrets just saying the quiet part out loud. So here's what he said, so that the internet can remember.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is preparing to roll back rules that limited mercury, lead, and arsenic emissions from coal plants, protections designed to safeguard brain development and prevent heart and respiratory disease.

Honestly, between Trump saying he wants to “liberate” LA and the Bethany fire in the Verdugo mountains growing to the point that there are now evac zones in Burbank, it’s really hard not to feel like the end of the world is nigh here.

I regret and apologize for any times that I may have thought that the military would stand up to him.

Fuck white supremacy. On a side note, I wear baseball caps all the time, and he always just looks like an idiot wearing those big trucker hats with an ill-fitting suit and the slathered orange makeup.

Don’t forget, just FIND a nearby protest. DO NOT give these sites your personal info, as they’re likely to be scrubbed. Just go protest.

conservatives are beginning to publicly workshop their rehabilitation of jeffery epstein lol

Not to dogpile, but everything Musk has been a part of has always been mainly future aesthetics with no care about future functionality. It’s like buying flashy tire rims at Walmart but finding out that they severely damage your tires, on a massive scale.

Newsom's term-limited and is out next year no matter what. I'm still amazed how ignorant these people are.

But homecare workers make too much money.

Something that hit me earlier, I still occasionally check Facebook because some friends haven't moved over to here or Bluesky, and someone I know posted the photos of the National Guard in the landing docks, and got a very long response from one of their high school friends/1

Social media gives us the opportunity to assemble for protest like no other time in human history, but it also gives boot lickers & disinformation merchants a platform to gum up the works with endless debate over the “right” and “wrong” tactics to the point ppl just throw their hands in the air.

These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE. jonathancohn.medium.com/a-tale-of-tw...

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

I already was thinking that they were deliberately escalating to play-act at military operations, and inflammatory crap like this continues to feed into that. I am just, want this to stop.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Martial law without a legal declaration. Just grab Marines and do what you want with them. This is why Trump appointed Hegseth.
