[*banging my head on a mirror*] “Never meet your heroes”

You can't even do a Nazi salute these days without being called a Nazi

Cry January

RIP David Lynch. One of the greats.

A little comic about desire paths.

I don't understand how it is that every single website asks me to agree to notifications, who is agreeing to that? What the heck notifications are you sending?

A rapist, convicted felon, and known liar walks into a bar. "Congratulations, Mr. President," says the crowd. Not a joke. A cruel, soon-to-be, reality. Who else is having nightmares this week?

Mark Ruffalo sounds like the name a dog would give if he was pretending to be a man.

AI is going to grow the economy and reduce public spending, it seems. How nice.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

My door is always open if you want to stop by and fix my door

Using AI to spot potholes has to be the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

Reminder “oh my god, Becky look at her butt” passes the Bechdel test.

It's a real quandary for self-published authors like myself: Do I want to tacitly support Amazon's gradual mastication of everything we care about, or do I want to never sell any books ever again? #books #publishing #kindle #selfpub

Do you want to support a writer with no ties to big corporate bosses, evil media conglomerates, or environmentally destructive practices? Then buy *my* books, only on Amazon.

It's stats like this that make me think the government should pull all arts funding that goes to big things like the national opera and redirect 100% of it to local community arts projects. www.theguardian.com/inequality/a...

*bangs clipboard* PETERS PROJECTION

As someone whose entire income is derived from the Internet, even I’m beginning to think we should just turn it off.

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

Elon Musk does not want you to donate to Wikipedia, which is itself a good reason to donate, but the much better reason is that it's Wikipedia. Just donated again last night.

Is annex Greenland the new build the wall? It doesn't seem smart to me for someone who loves winning to focus everyone's attention on something they obviously won't achieve, but I guess none of it matters at this point.

forever this

"Accidentally fall"? WAKE UP SHEEPLE, THE GREEN BOTTLE WAS *PUSHED* !!!!!!

Which option do you take when disposing of a Christmas tree? Chop off the limbs and pack them in a suitcase? Saw it up in the bath for easy clean-up? We rolled ours in a sheet, carried it out at night, and dumped it in the harbour.

Ask your friends if they've deleted their Twitter accounts yet. Ask your employer if they've closed their accounts yet.

Elon Musk now calling for Nigel Farage to go as Reform UK leader

"Do you ever think about Steven Spielberg's worst film?" "Always." "That's harsh. 1941 is worse."

missed a spare at bowling and the scoreboard played an animation of me eating a log of shit with a knife and fork

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small. Like literally. Those people over there look like ants. Oh, wait, they are ants. But they're not ants. GIANT ANTS! GIANT KILLER ANTS! GAO T KILLER ANTORNRB GHEHS

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

It's New Year's, so it has to be WHEN HARRY MET SALLY

Nice looking club you've got here, DJ. It would be a shame if someone... BURNT THIS GODDAMN PLACE RIGHT DOWN!

Hot take: anything that is smaller than the inside of your dishwasher *can* go in

if labour want to destroy reform they don’t need to ban foreign donations, they need to ban outside earnings for mps. no way farage sticks around for a second term if he’s limited to just £80k/pa.

here’s a comic about time travel
