That's the problem, Mike. It's not just that you've hired half the Third Reich to staff your Congressional office, and you have promoted neo-Nazi content online, it's that you're robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.

I don't really repost this, but it's been coming up a lot lately. Plus I have shows to promote. I still get asked, "what was going through your mind when this happened?" I wish it was something deep and cool, but it was: "I can't believe that just happened...would it be funny if I drank it, though?"

Why are people still telling scientists that we need to compromise with MAHA? How about if we tell MAHA that they can come to the table when they respect the scientific method instead.

SNAP kids are just as deserving of a birthday cake, a soda, & a little childhood joy as any other kid. Kids shouldn’t have to understand their family’s financial situation before being allowed to be excited about cake. Somehow we’ve reached where that apparently requires a congressional hearing.

“A review of meeting minutes, local reporting, state opioid expenditure disclosures, and invoices obtained via public records requests reveals that at least twelve sheriffs’ offices and police departments have since 2024 spent their opioid funds on Flock cameras.”

Police are spending opioid settlement funds on Flock cameras
Historic opioid settlements were supposed to be a lifeline for underserved communities. But much of that money is flowing to law enforcement.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

once again thinking about how goddamn good and beautiful Strange Days is
wide shot of Chinatown street with iconic red lanterns, a thick blue-tinted mist low to the ground feat. the faded silhouette of a car, a tree on the left and the Chong Hing Goldsmith building on the right. Tom Sizemore wearing a horrible long dark blond wig and leather jacket, sitting at a bar with neon lights behind him - yellow, blue, and most prominently a red star Angela Bassett sitting in the back of a car with her eyes downcast. the car is covered in confetti, casting shadows on the car's interior. through the window we see lots of people, and a hand pressed against the glass.Ralph Fiennes standing behind an ambulance as if he's about to get in, positioned perfectly between its two red lights. he's looking straight at the camera. there are blurry people partying in the foreground, but Fiennes is in focus.

comic strip.
first panel is all text. it says "and behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot. and subtil of heart... she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said unto him...I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linens of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon. Come let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
second panel a man talks to a woman. he wears a jacket and a cylindrical hat and has a beard. She's well, dressed like a harlot. No judgement, she's rocking the harlot chic.
man- Sorry, you've put cinnamon on your bed?
woman- and aloes and myrrh
3rd panel- man- So you're asking if I want to have sex in cinnamon?
woman- it's really not that much cinnamon.
4th panel- man- Just roll around like a pair of sex donuts
woman-(exasperated) I'll sweep up the fucking cinnamon.
5th panel- Close-up of the man
man- I mean I've always wanted to fuck a gingerbread man but this feels dumb
panel 6
the woman is leaving. she raises two middle fingers to the man.
woman- Fuck you, I'm going home.
panel 7
close-up of the man
man- Leave your spices in the kitchen. That's the lesson from this proverb.
panel 8
close-up of the woman
woman- don't waste your harlot attire on idiots. That's my take-away.
panel 9 is in heaven. Close-up of God.
God- There's no real moral to this proverb.
It should be in the book of recipes but the bible doesn't have one.

Part 1/2 of a 7-panel SMBC comic update. This first part includes 4 panels. Two women are walking together, one looks saddened and is wearing red. The second is wearing pink and looks happy and upbeat. The woman in pink says "sorry you’re feeling blue. You know, Every time I feel sad, I think of one of my blessings, and then I put a tooth in the happiness jar. Later I count all the teeth and realize how good my life is." Puzzled, the woman in red asks "where do the teeth come from?" The woman in pink explains "that’s the wonderful thing. it’s not ABOUT the teeth. it’s about happiness." Part 2/2 of a 7-panel SMBC comic update. This second part includes 4 panels. The woman in red looks at the jar of teeth, uneasy, and adds "they look like human teeth. Like adult human teeth." The woman in pink frowns, and wordlessly adds a tooth to the jar, as the woman in red watches, apprehensive.
