There's something scary about the idea of an infinite amount of mashed potatoes, but there's probably more important things to be worried about.

When other people anthropomorphize dumb stuff like animals, pencils, buildings and airplanes they're poor, deluded curiosities. But when -I- anthropomorphize expensive computer programs I'm the world's smartest boy and anybody who disagrees with me is ignoring reality.

It's well known that water is already a delicious treat you can eat, but throw in a freshly squeezed lime of juice, and it becomes a genre-defying delight.

something i don't like about video games where your "choices matter" is that you can ram yourself into a wall in front of your friend for ten minutes straight and they will not budge to ask you what in the world you are doing

a drawing of several characters from the web series Petscop. Newmakers Belle, Paul, and Martin stand around a circle with pets Amber, Randice, and Toneth. The drawing imitates the layout of a famous Ken Sugimori Pokemon illustration.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

fun thread! I think the best definition of comics is "comics are things we consider comics." genres (and mediums) are cultural constructs, not formal truths. they are what people decide they are.

Found an interesting artifact: a physical CD set I tried to produce of the album "Tungsten" and two related EPs ("Canning at the Border" and "Canning and the Towering Bow") by @mryes.bsky.social. the inside back cover always printed blank despite multiple test prints/revisions, so it never shipped.

your average 19yo old queer zoomer who makes furry fanart and listens to breakbeat music is almost certainly more politically radical on average in basically every way at this point than very online Bernie irony left accounts from 2018 ever were

in my Soderbergh series I wrote about Magic Mike...which I found pretty disappointing. the stripping set pieces are fun, but the film around it is pretty standard sexploitation moralizing. Kind of hoped for better. www.splicetoday.com/moving-pictu...

when billionaires like musk say money doesn't buy them happiness, they're bullshitting. they're happy; they just want you to think that they are deep and have inner lives and that it's not worth taking their money away.

nonviolence and violence are both tactics that can sometimes be effective in various situations. but the flat truth is that neither can prevent a state with overwhelming force from murdering people if the state is determined to do murder people. 1

I argued that communities targeted by ICE should be granted citizenship immediately. This is both a matter of justice and an imperative if we're going to crush fascism. Fascism thrives where there are groups that lack full rights. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/for-immigr...

From now on -I- publish the Dilberts
Dilbert comic edited out of different panels, with dialog replaced.

Panel 1: Boss holding coffee cup, thinking "Nobody can deny I am holding a full cup of coffee."

Panel 2: Boss about to sip from his coffee cup, standing next to Dilbert. Dilbert says "Would you like some coffee with your coffee cup?"

Panel 3: Boss flings coffee cup aside, coffee spilling from it, as he attempts to punch Dilbert. Dilbert blocks the punch with a small hand mirror.

Panel 4: Dilbert and Boss are standing next to each other again but their positions are reversed, Dilbert is holding a coffee cup while Boss looks into a small hand mirror. Boss says, his speech reversed, "Do mirrors show us our true selves?"

Seems like some people on this site were just waiting for any excuse to call furries pedophiles, weirdos and perverts that would still let them feel morally superior.

Comic strip of four panels, each taken from a different comic. A heading says November 15 1966.
Panel 1 (shows people strolling with boxes drawn around them): [narration] Well, in kind of a loose and general way, a box can show you the limits of the space the body can occupy.
Panel 2 (shows man reacting to another man loading large blocks of ice onto a truck): [dialog] Wow! Looky th' size of THOSE ice cubes!
Panel 3 (shows a truck driving in the evening past two large blocks of stone): [narration] Close to her place, we drive by two huge stones. [dialog] Do you know what those are?
Panel 4 (shows a man in an apartment sitting in a chair, looking at a grouping of five large blocks made of different materials set out on a tarp.) [dialog] I can DO this.
