"J.D. Vance, he drew eyeliner so he could see clearly for cheering his athletes"

The bluntness of the responses correlate more or less exactly to each country's familiarity with living under a totalitarian government.

The U.K.: "A mixed reception, Hazel, don't want to be contentious"
Czechia: "J.D. Vance, he drew eyeliner so he could see clearly for cheering his athletes"

The only things MAGA opposes about HBCUs are history, Black people, and colleges and universities.

This is a great piece, both for laying out the stakes for art and history, and for making it clear that Donald Trump does not have the authority to destroy these piece and they can easily be saved if people pay attention, take action, and refuse to capitulate.

Cover of I AM BILLIE JEAN KING saying it's banned.

Houston has banned I Am Billie Jean King--one of our greatest sports heroes. All because we mentioned who she is and who she loves. Now a whole community won't learn about this amazing person. I hope they change their minds.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

MAGA guys on Facebook are forever telling me to thank ICE for stopping hordes of Mexican rapists, and I go "...in Minnesota?" and don't hear back from them

"Hey I'm going back to the dildo box, I just had the idea to juggle them"

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me

I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building

There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

America makes more sense when you understand this is the most popular form of Christianity here:

1. God has already decided if you're good or bad
2. He doesn't care if you do good deeds
3. He does like it if you kiss His ass though
4. And you can tell the bad people because He makes them poor

Jesus died to get rid of original sin but it's still there if you don't wash it off a baby, should've died harder Jesus

This is it, the best thread ever

Dr. Frankenstein was trying to make a hot monster, the trouble was that he didn't go to art school

Fisher-Price toys from the 70s and 80s are incredibly sturdy. It's not at all unusual to find these in good condition.

Andrew found this on the sidewalk and it's coming home with us.

He's a stupid person who thinks everyone else is even stupider.

shhhh...let people hate things

I mean it's a fantasy story so you can do whatever, but the chance that Greeks 3,000 years ago even saw a blonde person is pretty low.

I will accept this complaint if I check back to 2004 and find Murray complaining about Helen being blonde in the movie Troy, which is waaay less historically or genetically likely.

(I have checked. Fuck off, Chuck.)

(coda: if you're one of the many dudes who's DM'd or emailed me to thank me for things like this but hasn't been brave enough to publicly speak out or boost the signal, please understand that your good intentions do not cancel out your cowardice.)

My entire generational cohort of female editors--who were pretty numerous--is gone from DH. Many of them no longer work in the comics industry.

This is not exceptional. I cannot emphasize how exceptional this is not.

I used to switch the genders of characters in old SF books in my head so there'd be better female characters and now sometimes I forget what the actual characters were like

Thank you for providing a credit! I just happened across it in a New Yorker collection in a coffee shop. Joey couldn't remember where he'd seen it, way back when.

No, I'm sorry, this is clearly Steve Buscemi playing a character, and a hilarious one at that

I have 26 years of stories like this and men explaining the resulting gender imbalance with "clearly girls are too stupid for this very complex intellectual work," and my field is cartoons.

All these men driving women out of their fields with giggly idiot grabassery and then bloviating to the public about how the lack of women is proof of male intellectual superiority... I hate them all. I hate them so much.
