CARTOON OF THE DAY

Cartoon by Nick Anderson | Tribune Content Agency

I spoke with Betty. She was very emotional and asked me to tell you that “she would love to give each one of you a great big hug.” We’re so close to changing her life. If you can give $5 or $10, it would be awesome. If not, I completely understand, but a repost is free. Thanks very much.

I’m not from the Midwest but that’s beautiful and I’d use it immediately!!

Screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta on X.com. It reads: “This is absolute cartoon villain level stuff.” Below is an image from The Simpsons showing characters holding signs that say “WE WANT WHAT’S WORST FOR EVERYONE” and “WE’RE JUST PLAIN EVIL.” Underneath is a preview of a NewsWire post stating: “Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat — WSJ.”

Anything to please the corporate donors.

My husband and I are also learning Japanese and get excited by the same kind of things!!

It just happened the other night while watching an older American Dad episode.

He literally tweeted this out.

“SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”

This plaque is displayed at West Point. It’s the law. Not sedition.

You too, thanks!! 😁

Thanks! I really dislike funky fonts when trying to read Japanese because that’s definitely more “fu” shaped than “n” but I see it now!

Also weird first letter since there is a “bu” but it looks like they’re trying to use the “u” as a base.

Thanks for solving the mystery!

@bushwhack.bsky.social miss you!!

Between the awkward angle and the style of the lettering on the left of the picture, I can’t quite make it out, but the letters on to right spell “tofu”.

Still newer to Japanese but I’m assuming that’s how you spell tofu in Japanese as well. 😁

We have the bill AND the bipartisan support to restore union rights for 1 million federal workers!

It’s time to get it done.

Tell your representatives: pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

That’s amazing!! I’m so happy for you!! ❤️

@f1whitney.coys.social you said you were having a crappy night the other night. I hope the proceeding hours have been better and you have a great Friday night!!

a year ago the idea of an artificial intelligence chatbot designed to make the richest man in the world sound like a renaissance man no matter what question it was asked would sound like the setup for a black mirror episode.

now its reality.

Isn’t this just a subset of Midwest emo? 😂

Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

A tweet from “MeidasTouch” reads: “Casually extorting the American taxpayer out of tens of millions of dollars on live television.” Below is a tweet from “Acyn” quoting Graham saying his phone records were seized and he plans to sue; when asked “For how much?” he replies, “Tens of millions of dollars.” The image shows Graham speaking on the show Hannity.

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

Don’t give up the ship.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

Notice from the Anthropic Copyright settlement website

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

You better set a timer and keep checking it lol!

I’m having anxiety for you, but if it’s dry exactly when you’re going to bed, that’s gonna be so cozy!!

Since you posted this an hour ago, checking in to see if you put it in the dryer yet? 😂
