Cybertrucks look like someone designed them as vector graphics on a crappy old computer with little RAM and no graphics card, but on the upside, maybe you can resize them by dragging the handles?

Funny how "steal your heart" and "steel your heart" are both common idioms, but mean very different things.

For the 60th, possibly the best #startrek panel gag I've drawn. #myart #heroofthreefaces
Panel 1 of 1. Captain Kirk sword in hand faces off against a large green dragon with smoke trails rising from its nostrils. Kirk says, "We can do this thing, or we can open diplomatic relations." The dragon says, "I'm listening."

I was born & raised in Manhattan; its skyline was my home. I first saw the twin holes in the sky months after 9/11 from a window of the Liberty Science Center in NJ. The negative space where the towers had been was as visible to me as any view I've ever seen. I couldn't choke back the sobs.

Tim Curry in a corset and fishnets caused a 1970s earthquake that reshaped our culture in ways still playing out today. I saw Rocky Horror maybe a dozen times back then, enough to know we were embracing something transgressive that would leave its mark. TC melted our brains. RIP.
Tim Curry as Dr. Frank N Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Sometimes I lie awake at night worrying about how much I like fictional characters who, every now and then, torture and shoot people in cold blood.

I get that actors hate being conflated with characters but it's only natural. Humans are great at recognizing faces and forming long-term associations. There's a big advantage to knowing that the guy who tried to kill you yesterday might try again today. Don't blame fans, blame evolution.

It doesn't surprise me to read that the cancellation of Hawaii 5-0 had a lot to do with Alex O'Loughlin being unable to continue. I'm only on season 8 and you can already tell the poor guy looks exhausted.

For classics nerds who need a handy reference.
Fuck around and find out chart for each Olympian deity. Hera has a very steep line (don't mess with her), while Hestia is nearly flat. Everyone else is in between. Bacchus, being a drunk god, has a swirly line.

Now that an actual reflecting pool has vomited green slime all over an actual narcissist, writers everywhere might as well just pack their laptops and go home, because reality has obviated the need for fiction in any form. That's it. That's all she wrote. Ever again. Literature is over.

From jump Scott Caan's fish-out-of-water Jersey boy is the best part of the Hawaii Five-0 reboot, but as of S3E15 I'm officially obsessed. He teases the cartoonishly military McGarrett that a gun store would make him a perfect home, all he needs is a place to lay his keppe. HE SAID KEPPE.

Not staying in a designated “free speech zone” is not rioting. #DelaneyHall

A 1st Amendment Zone at Delaney Hall is a particularly poor choice. If it's for the protesters' protection, then the zones legitimize ICE brutality by restricting the victims while leaving the brutalizers free. If for ICE's protection -- well, the problem with that is self-explanatory.

Tamar-o @tamarw.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
"Designated 1st Amendment Zone" is the most Orwellian phrase ever, and with it, Mikie Sherrill put herself firmly on the wrong side of the protest at Delaney Hall.

Not only is Mullin lying about Delaney Hall, but his English is also worse than that of many immigrants detained there. "Subprime" refers to loans. "Suboptimal" is a word meaning deficient or unacceptable.

I absolutely loved the musical ending to Colbert's Late Show, both Jump Up (he looked so happy to be singing it!) and Hello Goodbye getting the Hey Jude treatment. But the McCartney interview was weirdly awkward - neither of them looked comfortable. I wonder why?

Amazing what bad poll numbers can do in a midterm election year. Turns out Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and his base wouldn't care, but the one thing he could not get away with was raise gas prices.
