You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies, you may trod me in the very dirt but still, like dust, I'll rise.

The Trump regime gave the Iran regime a lifeline by attacking them. So so so stupid.

From page 257 of Marjane Satrapi’s 2023 graphic novel Woman Life Freedom. Marjane’s friend Farid Vahid says “the only thing that could strengthen the regime today would be if another country were to attack Iran. I think it’s their dream. It’s the only configuration in which this regime would survive.”

This has indeed come to pass, just not at all in the way anyone thought it would.

Page 125 of Marjane Satrapi’s 2023 graphic novel “Woman Life Freedom,” depicting Mojtaba Khamenei waiting menacingly in the wings for his chance to rule Iran.

Hello from the heart of Europe in the heat of summer

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

The old school style comic Nancy originally by Ernie Bushmiller; in this cell we see Nancy cutting what look like stacks of paper into cubes as she says to Fritzi Ritz, “LSD. Do you need any?”

A woman at Pete Hegseth’s conference today; she is wearing fatigues, her hair is pulled back and she has a frown on her face and I can’t blame her.

I’m a victim of the Paw de deux Shuffle—I leave my seat for two seconds and the squatter takes it over.

Let’s do this, New Yorkers.

The dedication page of my copy of Mahmood Mamdani’s book Neither Settler Nor Native reads:
For Zohran,
You teach us how to engage the world in difficult times. May you inspire many and blaze a trail!

“It’s like a path across the land—it’s not there to begin with, but when lots of people go the same way, it comes into being.”
—Lu Hsun, “Hometown”

Ummmm, ooookay, but I went to the Muntpunt here to give my new library card a workout, and look at the goodies I found...

Copies of four books--We are Bellingcat by Eliot Higgins, The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Death of Expertise by Tom Nichols, and Feminist Theory by bell hooks--are arranged in a square on a bed covered by a multicolor striped Peruvian blanket.

The Mortal Storm and The Shop Around the Corner.

Martin and Freya look warily around them in the café where all the people they thought they once knew well are singing "The Horst Wessel Song" and throwing the sieg Heil in a pivotal early scene of the 1940 movie The Mortal Storm.

A pivotal early scene from The Shop Around The Corner, where Klara enters the shop looking for a job and is drawn into some drama between Alfred and store owner Mr Matuschek.

This always makes me smile. I like to believe they all lived happily ever after.

An old social media post detailing how a man lost his cat, and found him and brought him home a few weeks later. Then the next week his lost cat returns home, so now he has two identical cats. We see them in his kitchen sitting side by side, two stout tuxedo cats.
