Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

That hopeless feeling flattens you, but my young one and I met a woman in ~mid-70s out for a walk (our dogs were socialising) and she’s entered an activist phase of her life. She got in to Croke Park yesterday. “I have time and I have nothing to lose”.

Looking at the stack of uneaten crisps from Christmas in the window of our neighbour’s house. Just sitting there. Not diminishing.
Sick, sick people.

2026: recently saw someone comment "stick to music" on an anti-Trump post by Jello Biafra

Now this…this is journalism

one time i was at a bus stop slices of dry bread straight from a pan i had just bought and i thought to myself "i am the type of person i would tweet about seeing"

headline like this sort of sums it all up doesnt it

I told you, I don’t fucking know, and I never will

Same, and no matter how many times I look up the actual meaning it will not stick on a brain cell for me. (See also the meaning of synecdoche. Just looked it up again, and it’s gone already)

Ignoring context and explicit clarifications, barrelling into every mention of “Newsom” on the app with a refusal to contemplate it could refer to anyone but Joanna.
