I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Colored ink drawing of Orlando Jones as Anansi from American Gods.

This isn't recent work but I'm still proud of this drawing I did of Orlando Jones as Anansi/Mr. Nancy in American Gods.

Done in erasable ink pen.

Though the man’s killing had been filmed, a fact checker is obliged to seek comment from any party alleged to have committed a crime. I called the soldier’s lawyer. He picked up from a cafΓ©, where I could hear trance music blasting in the background. The lawyer told me that while, yes, his client did shoot the man picking olives, and yes, the man did die, the Israeli military court found his client not guilty of murder because the man picking olives was a terrorist who was throwing stones. Even though the video did not show the Palestinian man throwing stones, the court said that he was, so he was. QED, his client did not murder anyone, and it would be slanderous for us to say so.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Tail as pillow. The model was very difficult to work with.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Your Momma jokes told by Jane Austen characters:
Your mama is so gauche that she loudly discussed the marriage prospects of her daughters at an eligible bachelor's ball.
Your mama is so gauche that when your sister eloped, she invited the infamous new couple to stay at her home.

Politicians aren’t nearly outraged enough at the Trump regime disappearing these students of color. I’m not qwhite sure why?? But I bet we’d hear a very different tune if these students had the complexion for protection.

Where are the free speech warriors? Where are the anti-tyranny folks? smh

Tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will hit the streets in the US for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic. With so many new folks marching, rallying, and taking action, there’s a growing need to disseminate information on keeping ourselves & others safe.

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

I spent last night's lunar eclipse locked in place with a cat in my lap. This guy does not cuddle on laps, he's maybe done it three times in the last five years. It was therefore more rare than a lunar eclipse and had to be celebrated.

Today I watched Ginger Snaps for the first time in at least a decade and as another morose, death-obsessed high school weirdo of the same era, it was quite nostalgic. Also, the mom burped the Tupperware, which makes me believe that she's related to the Sparkle Motion mom from Donnie Darko.

I totally agree. I'll try to thread the needle between making it feel like a fun place to be and scaring folks away with deranged nonsense.
