The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM
“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

I'm just so incredibly sick of people who I love and care about act like their great people because they "speak out" online. Speaking out only matters if it's followed by actual action. Otherwise it's just empty bullshit to soothe your own guilty ego.

The internet is not real life. PLEASE more people realize this. You post sharing your very unique opinion doesn't matter and doesn't change anything. Go offline and DO shit. Organize, prepare for the fight, or just do a good deed for someone. Just stop pretending social media is how you're helping.

The Sharp Trunket transistor radio (1960)
A radio that combines the design language of old American muscle cars and the spacerace.  The top is forest green with tailfins, the bottom is ivory white, and the front is shining silver, on a silver stand.  Up top we find a single antenna, a red power/volume dial, and you turn the 'intake" of the rocket to change the stations (the tuning display is immediately behind the engine, incoporated into the body).

A man in a leather dog mask is being restrained by other men in leather dog masks. One of the pups says "you have brought great shame to the brotherhood of pup play guys, Mark." He holds the sides of a worried Mark's face and says "as such, you will endure the ultimate discrage." A massive throng of pup play guys start chanting "CAT EARS! CAT EARS! CAT EARS! CAT EARS!" as they remove Mark's pup mask and affix little cat ears to the top of his head. Mark starts weeping traumatically and says "please kill me. I want to fucking die."

the delicate balance of power (2024)
The scene is set somewhere deep inside a human body, as two weird little blob guys are seen chewing on the floor of a large wet mass, presumably the tissue of a body.
A differently shaped blob, with craggy lines in it like a stone of some sort appears at the corner, interrupting the reverie of the first two blobs and brandishing a knife as he warns that "you microplastic punks better fuck off, this is lead turf."
The two types of blob dudes are swept up in a violent brawl. One microplastic tears at a lead guy's skull with his teeth while, elsewhere a lead has a plastic pinned down and swings at him wildly with a bloody knife. It is a bloody, terrible scene of savage cruelty and animosity.
The scene pans out further to show a human's head in silhouette, an x-ray of his brain showing it as a soggy and torn up mass of blood and flesh.
We zoom out further to see the man within whom this battle rages, him unaware, a contented smile on his face as he says "I can legally operate a forklift."

Gripping Tales of True Crime (2022)
a burly bandit sneaks quietly behind a small bespectacled nerd, cackling to himself "jeez louise, some marks make it too easy! hehe"

The bandit's hand inches towards the back pocket of the nerd, the poindexter's wallet sticking out precariously. "Like grabbin' fresh shrimp on a hot buffet," the bandit gloats.

Suddenly with a "CHOMP" sound, the bandit's hand is stuck inside the nerd's ass all the way up to the elbow. The bandit cries out in pain "release me from your jaws, you hound of hell!"

The nerd, grinning and clenching his fists says "oh how easily, how innocently the fly does enter the spider's web!"

Apparently someone at the Boston Fire Department had a wonderful, vindicating day yesterday, during the 911 outage:
huessy • 18h
Jamaica Plain
Once toured the Fire Alarm center over on the Fens when I worked at the city. The Alarm Chief touted the fire boxes because they were the first fire alarm system in the country and still worked because they are 100% analog and don't need computers to function. They are attached to the digital system but still have the analog component.
The chief bragged about how if there was a massive outage in Boston, "Just pull the hook and help will be dispatched".
' He even had this giant board with a
map of the city, the location of all the boxes. He said that if shit went down, they take out the board and move little firetruck stick'em things across the city as they were dispatched via radio. He said people thought he was crazy for keeping all the pre-digital stuff, but on a day like today I bet he's laughing as he frantically moves little fire truck markers around the board.
Also, if you pull the hook, stay at the box until emergency services come. They only know whic

This comic is from 100 years ago in case you weren't entirely sure that history repeats itself.
"Outbursts of Everett True" by Condo
A man in a suit standing on the street looks at another rotund man in a coat and hat wearing a mask and says "Haw-haw!! 'Fraid of the "flu", Everett?" and in the second panel the man is returning home to his (presumable) wife with his head all wrapped in bandages.  The wife says "John!!" in shock. The conventions of this strip make the reader understand that Everett beat the man up for being rude.
