Agreed. It was a low point for him, and he later acknowledged it as such. Better than never, I suppose, but ... time.com/5559507/joe-...

It had some genuinely sad parts as well, but I thought it struck a good balance between the two.

Ballpoint pen and colored pencil. 

At the top of the piece we see the delicately drawn branches and leaves of an apple tree. Just beneath the tree limbs, a bat is flying with one of the green apples in its mouth. This is when the morphing begins, reader. A sequence of 13 drawings show the bat morphing into a teeny witch (with completion of the morph around drawing #9). The morphing creates a spiral leading us to the center of the page where the little witch is running towards her basket filled with apples. It’s likely she’ll re-morph into a bat again and the morphing pattern will continue.

An article I read noted that, while conservative Texans find fault with Talarico's religion, voters of both parties seemed to consider him a decent person (unlike Paxton). My thought: The adrenaline rush of hatred eventually doesn't leave voters wanting more; it leaves them exhausted.

Judy Lee @judylee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
It's all about the hate. That being said, I read an article about Talarico's faith being attacked, in which the reporter noted that the people he spoke with (regardless of party) see Talarico as a decent person, and Paxton as not. That adrenaline rush of hatred has become exhausting, I think.

The writer knew what it meant, and that's enough. I still write "cat fud," though, because my late husband thought the B. Kliban cartoon that used that phrase was hilarious.

I try to stay informed, and to support news providers and analysts that I think have merit. But I'm reaching the point at which I don't have the time to consume it all. If you're a news provider or analyst, please don't assume that more is better. Fewer posts or videos can be more powerful.

After Nickel Mines and Platte Canyon (both in 2006), I had a talk with my son, who was then 16. I said I loved him but if he were ever in a situation in which an assailant said the boys could leave, I wanted him to refuse. If the boys did not cooperate, it would at least buy time ...

If you want to post cartoon memes with a message, there's much original content to pick from. Start with 'Pogo,' for instance. Charles Schulz did his part, with 'Peanuts.' Even 'Beetle Bailey' could be quite pointed. And always credit the artist!

I would like a way to block AI-created memes that misuse classic cartoon or comics characters to deliver political slogans. It's theft, it's using technology that benefits the oligarchs, and it's facile pandering to an older demographic that grew up with these characters.

My college president once sent a letter to all students and alumni that described an offer as "bonified." (It was in the 1970's, so he couldn't blame speech-to-text.)

I also read the book and I was so glad she wasn't the character in the book, because that character was a cliché. Duvall made Wendy a fully realized character we could care about.

Though it does make me chuckle to think that there can never be an officially authorized Jimothy the raccoon channel (unless Jimothy has abilities not yet revealed to us).

Apparently, one of my new Bluesky hobbies is muting accounts that claim to speak for Jimothy the raccoon. Sheer pandering for followers knows no limits.

I'm listening to a spattering of rain combined with a high school marching band (probably at a tournament) playing Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' (good times never seemed so good) and thinking, they're miserable as hell but they also don't know how apt that is.

I believe that those are the ones included on the Criterion version. Despite what I had read about Laughton hating children and Mitchell leading those, they show a very patient and supportive director. 'Pearl's' original singing is quite nice (and, the doc says, why she was cast) but dubbed later.

My first thought was "career suicide to continue this futile pursuit." Then I read that the prosecutor in charge who left three weeks ago, is 81. I still think that some of his younger colleagues might see it as career suicide, but if you're 81, it's more likely "Fuck this shit."
