Because in comics it would be inappropriate to say, "...best check well his beaver."

I might just be an idiot, but I find the whole dramatic climax and conclusion of Kung Fu Hustle genuinely moving. Like, the movie is definitely a bunch of goofy comedy adventure shit, but I sincerely believe it's also profound.

Kudos to whoever sketched out the presentation of that piece. Fantastic storytelling of a delightful cringe moment. Schadenfreude!

Once the press pool is back in place, I encourage them to ask the Orange Monster this question: "Regarding the war in Iran, could you explain to us how your experiences fighting in Vietnam have informed your choices in the Iran conflict?" Let his own mouth prove his dementia.

Mortimer has always struck me as a low-key dig at Walt in his style of dress and manner of holding himself.
Walt Disney is shown posing in a sharp double-breasted pinstripe suit and fedora during a 1935 trip to Paris.

It's amazing to me that some people just haven't heard this yet, but just in case: Never hit your grandma with a shovel, it makes a bad impression on her mind.

I'm fairly certain it could have been released on a console other than GameCube. I played it on the Sega Dreamcast where it was actually released.

I'm considering the unmentioned consequence that a building that is known to use metric craptons of water sitting on the CA side of the snowpack is there to get the water before the rest of the state. A state that is _known_ for drought and also water needs for its national breadbasket ag region.

Please reconsider that pride. This is not needed legislation, not requested legislation, not a good use of your time in this moment. Reconsider this choice, or the state will be forced to reconsider your representation of it.

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"
Facts You Should Know
The USPS is not in debt
The USPS is not losing money
The USPS costs taxpayers exactly $0
The USPS has always been self-sustaining
The USPS is the largest employer of veterans
The USPS employes over 500,000 people
The USPS is explicitly authorized by the Constitution

So exciting! Have had a fun idea for a Regency social conflict game that I think Havoc might be a great mechanism for. Fun!

That sounds like a very nice kind of internet, especially paired with people who don't know the difference between content for attention and art for themselves.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I don't know anyone who is a White House correspondant, but I might suggest to them that Stephen Colbert might be a fantastic returning host.

California Indigenous tribes are restoring ‘good fire’ to the land. New laws now recognise tribal sovereignty to conduct cultural burns - small, intentional fires that nourish native plants, strengthen biodiversity and reduce megafire risk. buff.ly/LWimZlE #ShareGoodNewsToo

You can text "Hello" to 741741 any time and talk to a crisis counselor. It's free and available 24/7 in the US and Canada. It doesn't matter what kind of crisis you're experiencing; if it's a crisis to you, it's a crisis to them.

As an older business person, I'm not a fan of hustle-bro culture. While they might frame it differently, it's the equivalent of that old joke about the young bull looking down the hill at a herd of cows. To which the most appropriate response is, "nah bro, let's _walk_ down and do them all."

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Well, considering the news media keep showing the same guy with the punk pants and tattoos who looks like he’s auditioning for Mad Max, maybe just arrest this guy and stop trying to pretend there’s an army of anarchists at these protests when it’s mainly taco trucks and bands playing.

Credit where it is due, Trump's subversive path towards implementing the Green New Deal is very clever. Oh sure, everyone is "allowed" to enjoy luxuries like hamburgers and coffee, but fix it so that no one can "afford" them? Freedom that still supports capitalism and suvival of the richest.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
