Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

I'm pretty sure I've been in meetings with execs that went exactly like this.

Your kid is already nine, she's not going to be an olympic gymnast' is not a phrase I thought I'd say to my boss today but here we are.

The School Paper (Part 3) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher and Liam are hanging out in Liam's room. Liam is laying on his bed because he's stressed. Stressed because Miss Horsehill asked him if he would consider writing for the school paper. He's thinking it over very carefully. Perhaps too carefully. It's consuming his every thought. Liam's little sister, Ember, is sipping on a juice box next to Liam's bed. This juice box will keep her wrath contained, for now. Liam: I love writing. And I like it when people read my writing. Panel 2 Liam continues staring at the ceiling as he voices his true concerns to Gustopher. Ember's going to town on the juice box. It's good stuff. Liam: But my feelings get hurt easily. I'm scared people might hate my work. Panel 3 Gustopher does his best to help Liam move his thoughts in a positive direction. Ember is preparing to speak as she notices that her juice box is about to run dry. She'll surely have grand pearls of wisdom to share with her older brother. Gustopher: Yeah, but there's also people who might love it. Sometimes you just have to take risks. Panel 4 Ember shall no longer be silenced. She has the obvious answer to this whole problem. Ember: AND I'LL BITE ANYONE WHO HATES IT! Liam: Ember, no. Ember: A SMALL BITE!

The School Paper (Part 3) - Gator Days

I made a terrible miscalculation and forgot to freeze a few of my holds at the library so they don't all come in at the same time.

TEN of the them came in today. 🫠

I just know the librarian looking through my record with the 20 books I already have out was going '...girl...' 📚💙

FBI BOSS: “Did you write the slogan on the casings?”

FBI GRUNT: “Sure boss, anti-ice stuff, just like you asked.”

A three-panel comic. The first panel is a scrap from a dictionary that says crypsis, noun: patterning or coloration that allows a bird to remain concealed by blending in to its environment. In panel 2, labeled effective crypsis, an american bittern blends in with a marsh full of tall plants. In panel 2, labeled ineffective crypsis, an american bittern fails to blend in among some short plants, next to a wet floor sign, and behind a stop sign.

I do a comic about ornithological vocabulary for every issue of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's wonderful Living Bird magazine. Here's the latest one, featuring the American Bittern.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

PSA for employers in 2025: Don’t Mind The Gap

If the candidate has background experience that qualifies them for the role and their interview ticks the boxes of who you want in this position, the fact that they didn’t work for 8 months 5 years ago is equal parts irrelevant and none of ur business

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The Monster: ‘Tell me you love me, Dad.’

Victor: ‘…LITERALLY ANYTHING BUT THAT.’

Love reading classics because you get hit with ‘Wow I know that guy’ here in the 21st C. 📚💙

Victor Frankenstein like ‘how was I supposed to know there would be consequences to my actions?’

‘You can fix this with a moment of emotional reflection.’

‘Cool, but consider… I’m not gonna do that.’

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

Dear gestapo trash:

"Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an ideology" is a great line
