I'm NOT DEFENDING TRUMP, but why are we spreading bad information online and stealing pictures from the Guardian? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Trump has done way too much for us to do stuff online for clout, COME ON.

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

On July 8th, we published a piece on AI in Heated Rivalry fic fandom. On July 30th, the New York Times ran a piece on the same subject. We weren't surprised—because we knew a Times reporter had read our coverage. A tale of two fandom articles, part of a longstanding dynamic in the media industry:

There is a viral Instagram post claiming the Knicks have turned down the invitation to visit the White House, sourced to nothing, apparently just a photo with some text written on it. It’s been reposted 10,000 times. Can’t find any indication it’s true. We have got to stop doing this.

Nuthatch. An older comic.
A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.

This Saul Steinberg cartoon making fun of fascist architectural projects feels very contemporary right now for some reason.
A line drawing from Feb. 17, 1943 by Saul Steinberg. It shows a fancy building, something like a ballroom, with geegaws on top and little statues and golden filigree, all balanced precariously on top of rickety wooden poles and shaky piles of rocks. A sign in front of the ballroom reads, "Kolossol New Order Bldg. Architect Adolf Hitler." Hitler stands next to the sign with a soldier, and says to him, "A mighty staunch edifice -- a monument to our super race."

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.
A drawing titled "Wild Rabbit vs. Easter Bunny". On the left, there's a wild cottontail bunny sitting down looking alert. On the right, there's a cartoonish Easter Bunny wearing a little polkadot vest and standing next to some colorful eggs. The wild bunny is labeled "Eyes on the sides of the head to watch for predators." and the Easter Bunny "Forward-facing eyes to hunt for meat." Wild bunny: "Active all year." Easter Bunny: "Only active in Spring - otherwise in diapause as a cyst?" Wild bunny: "Walks on four legs." Easter Bunny: "Unusual bipedal stance." Wild bunny: "Plain brown and white fur." Easter Bunny: "Distinctive vest-like markings." Wild bunny: "Gives birth to live young." Easter Bunny: "Steals and redistributes eggs; parasitic reproductive strategy?"
