Post a meme made by you

Headline: "Ted Cruz accuses new Barbie movie of 'pushing Chinese propaganda'"

Drake meme (sorry): Drake is turning his head away with a repulsed expression and holding up one hand as if to ward off some horrible sight; block letters proclaim him to be the GOP. What is he recoiling from? Two words in a plain typeface on a white background: "Nine dashes."

Drake is smiling and pointing happily; block letters reaffirm that he still represents the GOP. What has cheered him up so much? Again, two words on a white background; this time, however, it is "Fourteen words".

This is in response to another fake-outrage culture-war bullshit story back when people remembered who Ted Cruz was. Apologies for the obscurity.

Had a blast watching @tmbg.bsky.social last night at the Madison in Covington. Will do my best to catch them on their next pass.

The band They Might Be Giants on a small stage. John Flansburgh on guitar is on the far left, the Tricerachops Horns (Dan Levine, Mark Pender, and Stan Harrison) are in the back, Danny Weinkoff on bass at the far right. Marty Beller on drums, John Linnell seated in the front at a keyboard, and Dan Miller in front of the horns on guitar. A video screen at the back shows a live closeup of the horn players, and the entire stage is bathed in bright white light.

They Might Be Giants on a small stage. The Tricerachops are on the left (Dan Levine playing trombone, Mark Pender playing trumpet, and Stan Harrison playing saxophone); John Linnell is on keyboard on the right; John Flansburgh on guitar is behind and to the right of Linnell; Danny Weinkauf is behind Flans; poor Marty Beller is nearly hidden in the back amidst his drums. The stage is bathed in red, orange, and purple lights.

Guys, does anyone else find it odd that *Russian* officials are sending ominous words of condolence about Charlie Kirk's death? Also, "by supporting Ukraine, they're supporting murderers"? The irony is so enormous, you have to back up to see it.

Russian officials condemned the killing of Kirk and praised his support for the country.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council and a former president, blamed "a variety of left-wing liberal scum" supportive of Ukraine for the killing of Kirk.
"Who's next? Maybe it's time for the MAGA team to realize that by supporting Ukraine, they're supporting murderers," he said on X.
Kirk was known for his "positive statements about Russia and calls for dialogue," Kirill Dmietriev, Russian President Vladimir Putin's envoy, wrote on Telegram.
"This event is significant not only for American politics, but also for the entire world: an assassination attempt on a person who advocates for common sense and against hysteria shows the depth of the split in the United States," Dmitriev said.
Alexei Pushkov, a senator in the Federation Council, said on Telegram that the killing was reminiscent of the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, saying Kirk's death was possibly a warning to the president.
"This is a clear message to all prominent figures in America public and political life who hold similar views and are not afraid to bring them to the masses. And the main addressee is probably the U.S. President. A warning to Trump?" he wrote.

(Lyrics from They Might Be Giants' song, "Kiss Me, Son of God")
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're calling me Your Highness
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

I destroyed a bond of friendship and respect
Between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
Now I laugh and make a fortune
Off the same ones that I tortured
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

I look like Jesus, so they say
But Mr. Jesus is very far away
Now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true
That you love me and I love me

I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're calling me Your Highness
And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"
Yes a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"

There is a lot to unpack in that new Zootopia 2 trailer, but one of my favorite glimpses is what I am calling "Waffle House Judy"

Judy Hopps from the trailer for Zootopia 2. She is an anthropomorphic gray rabbit with purple eyes. She is wearing a pink tank-top with "don't worry be hoppy" in purple and striped purple yoga pants. Her ears are "done up" in a pink scrunchy. She is driving a hot pink car while talking into a walkie-talkie balanced between her arm and her cheek.

As a lifelong self-acknowledged Mackie type, I appreciated this passage from When the Moon Hits Your Eye by @scalzi.com: (Context: a teenager has just described the Erfurt Latrine Disaster of 1184, in which several dozen nobles died after a floor collapsed, dropping them into a pit of excrement.)

A graph shows a dot in the lower-right ninth of a three-by-three grid; the horizontal axis shows "Prep" on the left side and "Goth" on the right, and the vertical axis displays "Jock" at the top and "Nerd" at the bottom. The dot is very close to the left border of its sector and relatively close to the top of its sector.

Periodic reminder that this administration claims to be all about freedom.

President Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be "serious consequences" if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP's sweeping budget bill.

"If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that," Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

Follow me for more expertly edited stolen memes

A chubby white cat with orange highlights labeled "The sentence in my mind". He looks somewhat alarmed. This may be because there is a cake on the table in front of him that is obviously intended to look like him, but the resemblance is faint. The cake is labeled "Literally the same sentence when I try to write it down."

Meme was stolen from imgur, no attribution given. So I stole it again and worked my graphic design magic on it.

Completely coincidental, I'm sure. I mean, you can't blame a guy for arson just because he owns fifty thousands lighters, is constantly chanting "burn them all" and has been convicted of arson repeatedly in the past.

A headline from nbcnews.com: "Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok brings up South African 'white genocide' claims in responses to unrelated questions"
A subheadline reads: "In replies to posts unrelated to South Africa, Grok repeatedly responded with text discussing 'white genocide' in the country."
