Pronouns: male. Persona: genially pedantic. Misses: the internet circa 2005.
I'm gonna create a Tinder profile with this as my picture. If I drown in a tide of leftist girls, then by god I guess I'll drown.
It's this part that drives me irrevocably crazy. Like move-to-Gotham-City-and-fight-Batman crazy. Douthat's a serial offender, but it's SUCH a media tendency: "Those People said this would happen and it did. This does not, CANNOT mean that Those People are right about stuff, so what could it mean?"
Look at this gravestone and do the math on the dates. Now guess what year this city saw an outbreak of spinal meningitis. I'll give you a hint: don't overthink it.
The manager of the Turkish team, Mr. Montella, has the exact haircut of the college professor in a '90s movie who turns out to be evil.
I adore old magazine ads. I got these from a 1933 copy of SPICY STORIES.
It was this panel for me. If you were teaching a class on panel composition, you could spend a whole period breaking this one down.
The older I get, the more I realize that this photo is the cheat sheet for most of American history. Some folks in this country will destroy their own stuff if they think a Black person has touched it, including the presidency and the concept of voting.
It's my birthday today, and my wife just gave me the last volume that was missing from the set below. If you care about it, you recognize it, and if you don't recognize it, trust me that it's good.
Straight from 1994, a breathtaking snapshot of a very brief moment in horniness.
Obligatory cartoon, the creator of which I've lost track of. If anyone knows the artist, please let me know because I hate not crediting them properly.
@domesticat.bsky.social and I have spent the last several days making and freezing several batches of homemade chicken stock, so vaporized chicken has been filling the air. This little dude has been GRAVELY concerned that the air is made of meat. Perhaps he fears succumbing to Chicken Lung.
Shit got a little spicy down at the ICE building today. Street medics helped a lot of people, especially the children who were teargassed without warning. I'm just a dork with a helmet and shield, but I was able to help a little as well. #FuckICE
This diptych is titled "The Cover Pages of a Manga Before and After the Author Obviously Went Through Something"
The extra panel from a February 2012 SMBC, saved as evidence that @zachweinersmith.bsky.social gave us all fair warning.
This article is so-so, but it's got one bit, screencapped below, that I think is the purest expression I've yet seen of Trump's appeal to his voters. They love him solely because we hate him, because he has failed the same moral tests they have. www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...
Not the only '60s comic to BADLY underestimate the number of monsterfucker girls out there.
"Gee, Uncle Noah, surely after 9/11 America didn't go COMPLETELY insane, did it?" "Let me show you this T-shirt I bought in October 2001, just in case someday somebody asked me that question."
Santa Claus is just training wheels for the Protestant God, but we've all kind of accepted that by now. That elf, though...
When I was raising a wolf hybrid, I would tell her that if she didn't come inside, I would carry her inside. All her Mighty Wilderness Predator dignity would be gone as she got hoisted like a fussy toddler. After the first few times I did this, she got the message. Wolves can feel shame!
