I've seen it suggested that the anglophone concept of a snowy Christmas stems from this story, which in turn stems from a coincidence of Dickens' childhood, which had an unusually high incidence of snowy Christmases.

Boomers will spend decades decrying participation trophies only to award themselves the first ever non-participation trophy.

Genuinely, I don't know how people forgive him for that haircut. It's such a brazen, balled-faced lie, trying to put it past us is an insult to our collective intelligence. Remarkably, the rest of his lies are equally unconvincing, but his base seems to relish being lied to.

It's one thing to try to convince people a mostly safe medication is a miracle cure. It seems like a much harder thing to try to convince people that a medication everyone and their mother has been taking for years isn't safe. We all have lived experience that it's fine.

There was once a time where letting families go hungry while the President spends hundreds of millions of dollars on an addition to his house would have been recognized as colossally bad optics.

Detective Blackbeard. Pirate captain becomes maverick gumshoe for the NYPD.

Beleaguered Police Chief: You're a loose cannon, Blackbeard!

Detective Blackbeard: Aye, we once had a loose cannon on the Queen Anne's Revenge. Lost three men.

Comics pro tip: If your SFX might reasonably be misinterpreted as a fart, you should change/delete it.

Oh no! Did he leave the classified information lying around Mar-a-Lago?

We don't have to have a long memory to recall a certain television personality smearing President Obama with much more heinous claims than anything this dipshit is facing. But Obama never sicced the FCC on that guy's show because he had the strength of character to care about more important shit.

No political grievance can be taken seriously if "hurting the dear leader's precious feelings" sits equally among them. This isn't a righteous movement, it's a political vanity project. Weak. Ass. Shit.

Surely everyone recognizes that threatening to cancel entire networks for hurting his feelings is weak-ass shit. But the whole premise of his political movement is that he is always right, so we end up with an entire party too weak to call out weakness. Sycophancy as a political identity.

National Treasure except instead of the Declaration of Independence it's the Bill of Rights and instead of stealing it they're setting it on fire.

Hadn't seen how tariffs were impacting clothes prices until last night. If I save up, I might be able to afford a barrel with suspenders.

There's no explaining away Trump having posted a video featuring AI version of himself. Did he forget that he hadn't said that stuff? Did he know that he didn't say that stuff, but didn't see that known fraud as disqualifying the other assertions in the video? What's the best-case scenario here?

Literally threatening the country with a good time. Supporting trans rights and shutting down his regime seems like an easy win. (So of course the Democrats will screw it up...)

He can’t make groceries cheaper, but he can cancel a late night talk show. And another. And rename the Gulf of Mexico. You know: priorities.

That “First they came” poem made me think it would take longer for them to start coming for middle-aged white dudes…

Our president is so vain he probably thinks that song is about him.

My favorite moment has got to be this one, but I'm a sucker for panels that distill the major themes of a story into a single panel. There was a bit of back and forth on the layout for this panel, but we all knew Javi had landed on something special when he handed this one in.

In stores today: BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: DORMAMMU #1. So excited for folks to read this one. @alexpaknadel.bsky.social found such a cool angle for examining the titular bad guy, and Javier Pina and Erick Arciniega dial in the mood perfectly. The result is a remarkably singular tone. Love this issue!

Went to my first Brookly Cyclones game last night, though one of the friends that I went with was under the impression that I was a big fan, in case anyone was wondering what kind of energy I'm giving off these days.
