This isn’t the own that the Ellisons think it is Sure, they might’ve thought they pulled a fast one by saying this settlement is voided in the event of an economic downturn, which atp would be the AI bubble popping If that happens, debt-ridden Oracle is screwed, if not at danger of total collapse.

I really enjoyed doing the badge art trade with you! It was such a fun challenge to draw, especially with the fur pattern and colour palette ❤️

Badge of Nicole holding a motorcycle helmet in their right hand and a cup of Tim Hortons' in their left hand. At right, the text "NICOLE" in a light red font. The badge is in my hand after it was printed and laminated.

Backside of the badge. Text reads, "To Nicole for CanFURence 2026! - Nathan Obral/Rusty Muck 2026"

This grifter Wajahat Ali is wrong. Paramount-WB isn't any closer to closing now than it was yesterday and that this tweet has a dangerous amount of traction shows how media illiteracy is 100% dangerous.

Wajahat Ali already giving Larry Ellison a W he in reality didn't get because social media engagement or such shit

David D. Smith, chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, an all-around scoundrel who has been at the forefront of his company selling local news tainted with right-wing hackery. He is solely to blame for all this and just incinerated a relationship with ABC that went back decades. Say his name out loud

Nexstar is even more insidious than that (if you can believe it)! Perry Sook—their founder/CEO—only exists to buy up stations and has done so since 1996. He wants to buy the competition in multiple large markets, including mine, and fire all the staff in the name of "cost savings" and "redundancies"

Perry Sook, whose cravenness and outright greed has brought us to this point

i mean, tom batiuk somehow did this in 1996 at the peak of his career

Sunday comic panel for Funky Winkerbean, August 4, 1996, it's of the town square in Westview, Ohio, and the post office front and center has a big fireball coming out of it. A small figure (Les Moore) is running down the street passing bystanders and law enforcement yelling "LISA!" but because of Batiuk's penmanship, it almost reads as "USA!"

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

It's me, sitting down in a chair as part of Feli's hot sauce panel at Canfurence. My hand is covering the lower part of my face as I seconds earlier wiped my runny nose with a paper napkin covered in Feli's earlier "experiments". Long Haul Hoss is sitting to my right, looking at me. (That likely numbed my senses enough to where I made it to the final round.)

Don't you dare turn your eyes away from history, even the awful, scary parts. If you don't watch it with your own eyes, you rely on others to tell you what you saw. We must all bear witness to what's coming.

explain your username (e.g., my fursona name) Rusty comes from a family dog we had for 14 years, a mutt with a retriever build and short chocolate colored fur. I loved that goof. Muck came from a friend (IIRC Kip) when I designed my raccoon OC. And no, I didn't even know a/b FurryMUCK at the time.

It's Rusty, a modest-size dog with short, brown fur sitting down on a grass lawn, his tongue sticking out. He's right next to a picnic table as the seat is slightly visible to the left of the camera.

I would be! Well, at least his father Duncan is a yeen, his mother Amber *is* a raccoon. Haven't had many opportunities to have them depicted but @bigdavek.bsky.social did this awhile ago

Rusty's parents—Amber, a northern brown raccoon mother (left) and Duncan, a pastel-colored hyena father (right)—are in a kitchen preparing pizzas to be baked.

noted hack and wannabe social media influencer Bill Palmer—who pays twitter for his stupid blue check—unintentionally gives the best reasons why you really should leave twitter

Tweets from Palmer Report @PalmerReport
"Don’t quit Twitter. Not yet anyway. It’s still the most powerful (and really only) political social network. If we leave, we’re just handing it to the right wingers, which is what they want. There may end up being a viable mainstream alternative to Twitter, but there isn’t yet."

"And don’t talk to me about threads or blue sky or green sky or anything else. Those are all niches that no one sees. Now is not the time to go into hiding on a niche platform. Until there’s an alternative as popular as Twitter, we can’t cede our ground here."
