Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 27/09/2026
Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't. But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.

It was 12/3. I was in high school then. We didn’t close down, but will never forget our preparations for it. In English class I sat in front of the flag. The teacher would say “now remember class, when the wall collapses, the flag will go into his chest. We don’t want to remove it, but break it off”

Just in terms of sheer chaos Threads remains unrivaled as a social media platform. Logging on is such a uniquely deranging experience, I've never encountered anything like it in all my years of being on the internet
Threads post with photo of Capitol One Arena in DC filled with people, which is in Chinatown, which has existed for like a hundred years. Text: I’ve never been this far up in this place. Also: Since when does D.C. have a Chinatown? That wasn’t a thing last time I lived in the area.

As someone in the US and not subject to the UK's "any speech left of Oswald Mosley might be terrorism, so watch it guvna" laws, i feel confident in saying that it would be legally and morally justified if security forces shot every single far-right fascist in the Channel trying to commit murder.

As a DC resident i really don't like the way news reporting treats "the President, with a history of 1) wanting to kill unarmed protesters and 2) 'joking' about not leaving in 2029 is yelling he is building well-supplied and well-provisioned snipers' nests throughout the city" as just another quirk

Sorry, another thing about this: “just destroy and we’ll rebuild” do you think any congress without a supermajority of democrats will let it be rebuilt without calling it the trump center? Republicans in the late 90s forced the district to name DCA after Reagan by withholding transportation funding.

incredible bit in the Elizabeth Holmes movie: Fielder asks her to explain the joke in "Who's on First?" and she cannot variety.com/2026/film/re...
 She believes her version of reality. Fielder, who is not taken in by any of this (his questions remain rigorous in their skepticism), at one point gives vent to his impish side by showing Elizabeth and Billy the famous Abbott and Costello routine “Who’s on First?” When it ends, he tries to get Holmes to explain what the joke is (that “Who” is the first baseman’s name, but the name sounds like a question — hence the routine’s glorious verbal slapstick). And she can’t do it; she can’t grasp the joke. It’s not just that she lacks a sense of humor (though frankly, she kind of does). It’s that she’s got the malignant narcissist’s need to have words mean only what she decrees them to mean. She can’t hear any other meaning. Hence: her device did “work,” and still does (it can run any test!). That’s why she and Billy, years after her conviction, are still pitching Theranos to other investors (as if anyone would go near her). This is a highly rarefied level of delusional thinking.

verdict: weirdly clunky? Much like The Sheep Detectives, everything w/ animated characters was great and the humans just dragged it down. Dialogue felt stilted and screenplay needed work (they lost the case but then Congress opened an investigation but then closed it but the case is ongoing?)

Public transit without density isn't effective public transit. This should be obvious. A bunch of bus stops and metro stops don't work if they just exit into sprawl that isn't friendly to pedestrians.
