Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Latest comic: Beware of Glernog
First (and Last) Contact


Alien emerging from spaceship in a field: GREETINGS, EARTHLINGS!

I AM GLERNOG, THE RICHEST BEING FROM BLARV-9.


I LET MY CIVILIZATION PERISH IN THE ATMOSPHERIC FIRES WHILE SEIZING THE LAST MINERALS TO POWER MY VOYAGE INTO SPACE!


HERE IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT OUR MUSIC SOUNDED LIKE WHEN WE STILL HAD MUSICIANS.

Bleep  Bleep


AND THIS IS A COMPOSITE OF THE FINEST WORKS OF ART FROM WHEN WE STILL HAD ARTISTS.

YOU HAVE YOUR OWN WEALTHY BEING DESTROYING YOUR PLANET FOR SPACE TRAVEL, YET I AM EVEN WEALTHIER AND REQUIRE THOSE RESOURCES MYSELF. EXTRACTION AND EXTERMINATION SHALL BEGIN IN FIVE QUOGS.


BUT FIRST, I TAKE A SELFIE.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Today I met a genie who said he would grant me one wish. "I want to live forever," I said. "Sorry" said the genie, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!" Fine," I said. “I want to die after Republicans get their heads out of their asses!" “You crafty bitch," said the genie.

The internet is so silly. I've repeatedly called Musk the most dangerous man in America. An intelligent author named Noah Smith just wrote an essay accusing me of telling people Musk is _not_ dangerous by calling him a "dummy." What did I actually do? Say I doubt his IQ is over 110—above-average.

Apparently you only need to clumsily sabotage your coworkers to be rewarded with a big promotion by Musk.
Picture of text: “The story of what actually happened started to come together: Dudek had been placed on leave by previous leadership for helping DOGE; he posted about it; Musk caught wind of what Dudek had done for him and forced the former Acting Commissioner to resign; then he rewarded Dudek for his loyalty by promoting him to temporarily lead the agency while they waited for Senate confirmation of Trump’s nominee Frank Bisignano, a banking executive. (Bisignano, an SSA staffer told me, is currently “in the loop on everything.”)”

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:
New Social Security chief was being investigated when Musk team tapped him
Leland Dudek, a data analyst working in a small anti-fraud office, was suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information with representatives of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service. Now he’s the acting Social Security commissioner.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless
