What if a spam comment had a stroke? (NSFW, and also not safe for trying to comprehend.)

Various hideous spam terms, many of them misspelled and/or incoherent. If you can't read this trust me that you're lucky.

Boats in Camden, Me. Even a crummy photographer lucks into one now and again.

Soft as butter and scared of everything is no way to go through life, ma'am.

Ackbar warning us -- though probably not about a new option for grocery stores -- that IT'S A TRAP!!!

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

I’m wrong about something I ought to have known. Withdrawn.

The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization and in 2029 I hope we deal with it accordingly.

Project 2025, the policy blueprint by the conservative Heritage Foundation, called for the elimination of Head Start. “The program should function to protect and educate minors,” the document says. “Sadly, it has done exactly the opposite.”

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

I’m amazed the car wasn’t a fireball spraying out pathogens within an hour, seeing how everyone knows that (checks) plastic water bottles are basically Molotov cocktails waiting to assassinate the incautious.

A question from a crazy person: If I leave the plastic water bottle in my car for a few days, is it safe to drink the water when I come back?

Happy to say I'm part of the writing crew for Star Wars: A Celebration, announced yesterday at SDCC. Always fun setting sail with the good folks at @dkbooks.bsky.social and @dkbooksus.bsky.social! Hope this means I see you in Anaheim!

In which Emily Wilson nails the right-wing pop-culture grift dating back (at least) to TLJ. Just ignore these awful people and their cynical dreck; as with so much else they do, there isn’t even a scintilla of good faith in the argument.

Emily Wilson quote: “It’s actually not that complicated. It’s people trying to come up with narratives to justify some knee-jerk desire to cast aspersions on or hate people of particular categories, and to come up with stories about why am I totally right to be consumed by online hatred, and why am I not an idiot to be wasting my life like this. For whatever reason, people seem to enjoy being angry sometimes. But I don’t think it’s particularly complicated.”

Some scenes from the reconstructed Wesleyan Chapel and the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in bucolic Seneca Falls, NY.

From the Corning Museum of Glass. For those of you wondering, yes, it’s pre-TLJ. An interpretation of a Durer woodcut of a lynx, in fact.

I enjoyed this root beer float.

Hello from Binghamton, home of the Rumble Ponies! These Mets employees haven’t angered/disappointed us yet!

This could hold its own with any scene in Spinal Tap.

Intrigued by her voice, Mr. Steinman invited her to his apartment in Manhattan to run through “Total Eclipse of the Heart” — which, he told her, he had originally written for an unfinished musical about the vampire Nosferatu.

Yeah, but does he have a tattoo of me?

Me and Mr. Met, who is admiring my tattoo of Mr. Met.

I see a certain Very Stable Genius got dog-walked again. Art of the Deal my ass -- he's playing one-dimensional chess.

Headline: Iran Gets Major Economic Lifeline for Minimal Concessions in Initial Deal

Subhead: The agreement delays the most difficult steps for Iran for later talks, while granting it crucial benefits.

Caenumarchy. My Latin’s a little rusty, so that could be improved on. But it gets the idea across.

Loved the Athletic portrait of Rick Sweet, who's closing in on the record for wins by a minor-league manager. (Link below.) Sweet was a Met for three games in April 1982; here's the custom card I made for him, because I'm me.
