As someone who had no idea there was a nazi skull and crossbones until this week, i'm willing to believe someone else would not know there was a nazi skull and crossbones

Great bit would be posting status updates of the ballroom demo/construction process on Something Awful

An old Photoshopped image of an original XBox being transported on a carrier designed to move the space shuttle, c. 2001-02. The XBox was mocked for it's unusual size for consoles of the era.

The original "hueg liek xbox" photoshop, discovered this week on an old hdd.

He noticed you! @apaintedmouse.bsky.social over in The Bad Place.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Robert David Caminiti - Pizzi Funeral Home Robert David Caminiti, “Bob” Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Army Veteran, and Longtime NBC Associate Director  It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert David Caminiti,...

I was very sad to hear about the recent passing of Bob Caminiti. Bob worked at SNL for 37 years and was one of the purest and most thoughtful and passionate people I had the privilege to know. pizzifuneralhome.com?p=9806

The media inherently thinks secrets that are dug up are more damning than confessions shouted in public -- which is why a forgotten birthday greeting has gotten more attention than all the times Trump spoke into a microphone or voluntarily put in print the words "I LIKE TO FUCK CHILDREN"

Political cartoon comparing Republican "work requirements" for Medicaid and SNAP to the German phrase "Arbeit Macht Frei," which translates to "Work Sets You Free," and was prominently displayed throughout Nazi concentration camps.

My latest #cartoon makes note of how Republican arguments for the "work requirements" they want added to #Medicaid and #SNAP sound awfully familiar...

Caminiti worked at the show from 1982 to 2022. Here's a few words from the DGA this week.

A couple notes on last week's SNL repeat (S50E18, Quinta Brunson with Benson Boone). The "Next Week" tease was improperly supered over the "generic" bumper. You can see it before and after the tease. Then at the end, a card is inserted for AD Bobby Caminiti, who died last month.

One of the things about historical research is you encounter the fact that children used to die at heart-breaking rates. The cemeteries are full of tombs with zero to eleven year life spans. The correspondence mentions child death on a regular basis.

Children died often.

Quoting the only post about this dark afternoon :[

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Debuted last night (Sunday) during both repeats of The Americas and Suits LA. I just happened to have the TV on, it was incredibly odd seeing a generic Thursday-style promo on Sunday

Wake up babe, new generic SNL promo just dropped

Sounds like time for anyone who has an account which accepts Federal Deposits to open a second one to move all their cash to; every month.

think of all the things that get fucked if your SSN is suddenly defunct. this is a death sentence in more ways than one

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

I have spoken with multiple field offices and emailed ICE counsel as well as the office of the Chief Immigration Judge. From what I am putting together an extremely new disturbing pattern has developed recently of ICE somehow *deleting* cases from the imm court's ECAS system & *no one knows how*

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

Calm down. I'm being told it does that sometimes

Mass radicalisation of boomers incoming

BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

Facts are important more than ever in these times. Also, fuck the fascists
