When the American military was woke, trans, and gay? The Strait of Hormuz was open. Now that the American military is run by "Warrior" Christian Nationalists still stuck in the seventh-grade? The Strait of Hormuz is CLOSED.

TODAY'S COMIC: Anatomy of a Sasquatch
TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Sasquatch

DESCRIPTION: An ape-like man stands in the classic Big-Foot stance, mid-walk. His arms and legs and shoulders are covered in fur, his hands, feet, biceps and chest are flesh. Behind him is a forest of trees.

JOKES:
- He’s the ultimate American cryptid!
- (pointing to the previous joke) …with the posture of a middle-aged dad trying to find his glasses.
- He’s super strong! He can bench 150! (An F-150)
- Fur has the texture of shag carpeting that’s been left in a damp basement since 1974.
- Knuckles for DAYYYYYS.
- His build is the perfect blend of “powerlifter” and “dude powering through a few sleeves of oreos.”
- Don’t think of it as “Hairy Shoulders,” think of it as “Natural Rain Poncho”
- He was made. famous by a 1967 filmstrip of what is clearly a dude-in-a-Gorilla-Suit.
- (pointing to previous joke) (Someone ran the film through modern film stabilization software. It is HILARIOUS how much its a dude in a suit.)
- His calf muscles look like four angry raccoons fighting over a corndog.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Tiger Woods flips his car, Jesse Watters flips his lid, Ted Nugent flips out, and Donny is a callous piece of shit. all this and more in "this week in stupid," my Saturday wrap-up of the dumbest fucking shit that happened. thank you for your attention, yadda yadda. link is here: bit.ly/4cpaWT8
on Friday, Iran shot down two American fighter jets. one of the pilots is still unaccounted for.

some fucking idiot reacted by hunkering down in the White House for the entire day, never once coming out of his hidey hole.

at no point did the fucking idiot ever offer one word of concern — or even acknowledgement — regarding the pilots who had been shot down, but he did scream his big dumb pumpkin head off about keeping Iran’s oil.

Listened to an interview with Josh Owens, a former contributor to Alex Jones’ Infowars. His assignment was to film someone dressed as a member of ISIS easily crossing the Mexico border. Problem? Border Patrol stopped them. So they filmed at a river not on the border. And got over a million views.

adding alt text. stand up for us before it’s too late, cis folks.
cropped social media post reading:

Senator Marsha Blackburn has OPENLY STATED that KOSA is meant to 'protect' kids from 'the transgender.'
She is a transphobe, her bill is transphobic, and every Senator signing on is sponsoring trans genocide.
If your senator is a Democrat, TELL THEM THIS. CALL 2022243121.

followed by a screenshot of an article:

Asked what conservatives' top priorities should be right now, Senator Blackburn answered, "protecting minor children from the transgender [sic] in this culture and that influence." She then talked about how KOSA could address this problem, and named social media platforms as places
"where children are being indoctrinated."
