Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I'm grateful for this app. But I am horrible at this social media thing. I really don't care much about reaching 10k or whatever. I just want to know that I am not crazy and drown out the noise when I'm here. It's gonna be a bumpy ride in 2025. Thank you all for being here.

Keep 'em dumb and stupid. It seems to be a guiding principle here.

🚨NEW: President Jimmy Carter has died at 100 years old. A life well-lived and one of the best humans to ever walk this earth.

Imagine voting for Trump bc you believed he'd "cut govt spending"

then watching him try to get the debt ceiling raised before he even takes office

and still not realizing how colossally you've been played.

I see things dimly. One day, the Lord will lift the veil from my eyes. Until then, I don't think God cares about keeping billionaires rich while the poor ate turned away.

β€œDon’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

How do you pardon someone who hasn't been convicted of a federal crime?

MADDOW: β€œMaybe what President Biden should have done is not just pardon his son, Hunter, but named him ambassador to France. Maybe then the criticism would be a little more muted.”

Photo of a statuette of Anubis (standing, facing 45 degrees left, with palms raised at 45 degrees), captioned: "Look Imhotep, I know it's a bit of a shock finding out that you're dead and have entered the Duat but you seriously need to calm the fuck down."

Original statuette is in The Met Museum.

Statuette of Anubis
Ptolemaic Period

332–30 B.C.
 Not on view

The god of mummification Anubis is shown here as a human with a jackal head and a long wig. He is wearing jewelry and a garment with an elaborate feather pattern. Anubis is probably depicted greeting the deceased in the afterlife and protecting him. The statuette is exquisitely carved and painted (note the painted pleating of the kilt).

This one always makes me smile, too.

The statuette is in the Met Museum in the USA, not on view. The captioned version was probably posted by a content-scraper on Twitter (iFunny.co). More detail and a link to the museum artefact is in the Alt Text.
