@blueheron.bsky.social Received my japanglish t-shirt and the package had been accidentally "leaked on by soy sauce".😸 Shirt was unharmed😸😸😸 and looks great. Thank you!

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

I’m not the first one to make this suggestion, but if I were a Dem in a congressional hearing with this dude I would spend my entire five minutes or whatever just reading as many of these off to him as I could fit in.

From Sunday. Wonder who leaked Whiskey Pete’s speech to Gary Trudeau, who’s absolutely on the right side of Putin’s useless war in Ukraine.
Doonsbury from 27 Sep 2006.

Panel 1: A Russian soldier is in a field. Over his shoulder is a drone. The drone says “Hey Orc?”
Panel 2: The Russian soldier turns and asks “Da? (Yes?)”. The drone says “Delivery”.
Panel 3: Caption: Rascal’s back in Ukraine. There is a large bald man tinkering with a drone, a redheaded short haired Ukrainian soldier with a goatee tinkering with a radio, and Red Rascal, an American spy, leaning against a pole in a bunker. Out of frame, a voice asks “Hey, Bear? How much longer?” Bear, the soldier tinkering with the drone says “As long as it takes, asshat”
Panel 4: Red Rascal quips “Man! Your boy wouldn’t last long in Pete Hegseth’s military.”
Panel 5: Redhead asks “Why not?” Red Rascal responds “insubordinate. Overweight. Unshaven. Out of shape. I doubt he could do a single crunch!”
Panel 6: Redhead says “Yeah. Maybe not. On the other hand…”
Panel 7: Redhead continues “Bear’s birds have destroyed 13 tanks, 7 missile launchers, 4 howitzers, and sent 183 orcs to hell”
Panel 8: Bear doesn’t look up from the drone but interjects “187. What’s a crunch?” Redhead adds “He’s also trans.” Red Rascal responds “OK. Mind blown.”

RIGHT??? Like. This is a silly game about rocks. It’s for fun! The stakes are nothing! Cheating accomplishes absolutely nothing as winning doesn’t magically translate into more people liking your rock. 🙄 But I can ID the exact person (by name!). Their motivation is a power trip of causing sadness.

Newt, to quote Charles Pierce, is “a dumb person’s idea of a smart person.” Lucky is a weirdo, beardo, & a fatty. Musk lost a battle of wits against two pop-tarts and a toaster!
The Time Elon Musk Hurt Himself Trying to Eat Pop-Tarts

Space journalist Eric Berger's 2021 book Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX includes an anecdote from one of Musk's colleagues in the extraterrestrial exploration industry in which Musk encounters worthy adversaries at his hotel's breakfast bar - a packet of Pop-Tarts and a typical toaster.

“Elon comes down, and he walks over to the breakfast bar and he picks up a package of Pop-Tarts," the man recalled. "He was transfixed. This was like a scene out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, when the apes examine the monolith. It was clearly the most fascinating thing he had seen that morning"

When Musk finally realized that Pop-Tarts are best prepared toasted, he took the package to the toaster and inserted the two pastries into the slots - horizontally. After the Pop-Tarts were done cooking, instead of doing literally anything else, Musk dug his fingers in between the grates to get the treats that were out of reach, screaming "Fuck, it burns!
Fuck, it burns!" at the top of his lungs.

🫁 Next time, just get a muffin.
