Hilariously terrible call by the NFL. "Juice" pretends to drink juice. Nothing new. #49ers But oh man I love George Kittle. 🤣 sfist.com/2026/09/25/n...
The Chronicle reports that Kittle, one of Juszczyk’s closest friends, also piled on, joking that Juszczyk, who's very health conscious, barely drinks beer. Kittle later posted a photo of Juszczyk holding a Bud Light — the NFL's official beer sponsor, and tagged the NFL in the comments, writing, “this guy is a menace.” Kittle then reportedly joked that the team had voted to stop calling Juszczyk “Juice” and make his new nickname “Beer.”

4-panel SMBC comic update. Two people talk as they walk down the street. The man asks "do you think p-zombies are possible? Beings that are outwardly conscious but with no internal world?" The woman answers "Not for long, no. Just take your p-zombie and put it in a harness with a scratchpad." The woman gets more intense as she continues to explain : "now it has a physical record of interiority. All you have to do is take that record, shove it up the p-zombie’s ass, and now it is literally internal." The man responds, saying "I don’t know if that last part is okay," so the woman reassures him by saying "no, no, it isn’t conscious until after."

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
Iconic cartoon showing a single driver in a wide car taking up most of the street space. With many people crammed into the bus, bike and pedestrian space left over. Someone later added a voice box with the driver saying “Damn those bike paths and bus lanes taking all the space!”
