Tom the Dancing Bug, by Ruben Bolling

I agree! The ride utterly betrayed the tone of the movie. But at a certain point, it’s so silly it becomes charming for me.

Universal's iconic E.T. ride may get overhauled A new permit filing suggests Universal's beloved E.T. Adventure ride could see a major overhaul before November 2028.

I wrote on @boingboing.net about the iconic opening-day Universal Studios Florida park ride "E.T. Adventure."
Silly and somewhat janky, but sublime.

Minneapolis cartoonist storms out of retirement to take on ICE... with his left hand Steve Sack retired after 42 years when his right hand gave out. Then ICE came to Minneapolis and he learned to draw lefty.

You can see how they made the mistake. The “Run the clip of Trump wearing campaign merch yesterday at the Dignified Transfer of fallen soldiers” button is RIGHT NEXT TO the “Run the clip of a 2025 Dignified Transfer with Trump not wearing merch” button.

And how did that work out at the box office?

Oh my god @fantagraphics.bsky.social

INTERVIEWER: What do you see on this chart?

MAGA VOTER: I see lots of sad, light blue bars going down on the left, and huge, big, beautiful, dark blue bars stretching to the sky on the right.

If the Democrats had media arms like the Republicans, they'd send word out to their equivalents of Fox News, Newsmax, CBS News, (soon) CNN, and talk radio to hammer this for months.

But the Democrats have no equivalents of those propaganda machines.

My new favorite shirt from @blueheronfarm.bsky.social arrived. Which family function should I wear it to?

Anyone who has gotten an AI paragraph with search results on a topic they are even passably knowledgeable about will be horrified that the military is making life and death decisions based on AI’s beliefs.

“Therefore it’s okay for us to torture and rape and murder.”
