After only 10 years investigating McDonald's Pizza and related matters such as whatever happened to it, etc., I may have "cracked" the case "wide open." For more information, listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/1hZ6...

I summarized this story in a comment the other day, but I'll go into more detail here, in what's known as a "thread." I once had an hour long conversation with the legendary comic book artist Neal Adams about his theory that the earth is hollow.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Please do not attempt to “dox” Jordan for his opinions re: the Academy Awards™.

It would not be very difficult to convince every ICE agent that there is a protestor hiding in their own mouths. See what happens.

There is no alternative to the obvious solution.

Point taken, but I do not appreciate this disparagement of those who skipped class.

This program should prove quite satisfactory to the core audience of “gamers” (i.e. chronic onanists).

RIP Mr. Scott Adams. Dilbert was no Ziggy, but I believe everyone has to agree he was a character in a different comic strip.

Neither snow, nor sleet, nor “wintry mix” will keep me from having Ziggy comic strips described.

There is a “Shirley Temple” flavored variety of 7-Up available now (named after the drink named after the starlet), and I have an arrangement with my “Ralph’s guy” (named, coincidentally, Ralph) to make sure my stock is never depleted.

Yes, I am in consideration to be the new editor-in-chief of CBS News. No, I will offer no further comment on the matter pending negotiations. However, I am proud to present a new episode of The Daily Zig, in which Jordan and I ponder why Ziggy seems to lurk near mall Santas so often.

Unfortunately, the New School just canceled their Ziggy Studies PhD program and offered its sole professor (tenured; seven-figure salary; university-provided SoHo condominium) early retirement, so this podcast is the best a Ziggy scholar can get.

On this “Cyber Monday”, why not stop “cybering” with your online lover and instead support independent booksellers by making a purchase on Bookshop.org, perhaps even purchasing the latest issue of the Raleigh Review, in which a short story of mine appears? bookshop.org/p/books/rale...

This is good news. I am working to secure a deal on offering our own Daily Zig-branded discount cellular telephone plan that will be slightly cheaper than the one offered by our competition, the Smartless podcast.

I would like to read Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch—Rogue Agents issue #1, but the “title” line on my local comic book store’s pull list form only allows 743 characters.

Every podcast awards ceremony is a "honey trap" to catch podcasters en masse, cage them, and hold them in "black sites" where their only meals come from Hello Fresh. This is why I avoid them.

If President Trump can bring back performing fellatio on Bill Clinton, McDonald’s can bring back pizza.

I have heard from multiple sources that President Trump is putting in an emergency FedEx Office order to make visual aids for tonight’s Oval Office address explaining the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia.

I recall FBI director Kash Patel, in reference to the death of professional teenager debater Charlie Kirk, using the phrase “I’ll see you in Valhalla.” It seems many such men have turned to Nordic paganism instead of Christianity because they believe loving Jesus “H.” Christ is too effeminate.

The books: Jack Vance's THE LANGUAGES OF PAO (1958) Fredric Brown's MARTIANS, GO HOME (1955) I planned to discuss Philip Jose Farmer's THE GREEN ODYSSEY (1957) and forgot! Why? Because I was too busy self-flogging, obviously! (We'll save it for the next hodgepodge.) youtu.be/xdZ9RbzOm-U

Others prefer The Onion headlines that are jokes meant to make readers laugh, but personally I enjoy ones like these that provoke a sad smirk, a single clap, and a solemn nod of agreement.
