New Work by Gary Larson | TheFarSide.com Get an exclusive look at brand new cartoons and artwork from cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of the iconic comic strip The Far Side®.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

Janet Mills would support keeping filibuster if elected to the Senate The Democratic governor’s stance is shared by Sen. Susan Collins, the Republican whom Mills entered the race to defeat earlier this week.

absolutely the fuck not. this needs to be a red line.

That's the fun ("fun") part about the trumpists, playing Stupid or Evil or Stupid Evil. Part of Trump's success in his first term was inheriting Obama's economy, but day one they took a sledgehammer to it. There's a chance they want to try their Kirk strategy again, but they're also stupid and lazy.

These guys destroyed USAID (budget $28bn) causing a potential 14m preventable deaths by 2030 because the deficit but can find $40bn to bail out their buddies who stand to lose money in an Argentinian crash.

Minimalist drawing of reeds in a pond. A small bird is perched on one of them, bending it. Brushed ink on paper.

Trump doesn’t even pay checks if he can get away with it. Even if we wanted a king who would want that shitheel?

This gets at one of the key things about why excessive concentrations of wealth are destructive:

Rich people can afford to destroy things, and it's often in their interests to do so.

We should not have a society where it is rational for someone to destroy a news organization they personally own.

This is a sign of immense weakness. It’s like a mobster asking others if they’d be interested in a shakedown because their first targets didn’t cooperate.

MS throws you to the wolves, but the wolves will throw you a bone.

Thank you so much for sharing this info! God knows Microsoft wasn’t helping with shit. I was about ready to give up.

I’ve heard it explained as domesticating dogs involved changing their daily routines and behavior, but domesticating cats was just basically letting them hunt and do cat things around the granary where the rodents were.

Well, I guess anyone saying “no” to the spoiled brat is a psychic wound, and the Nobel Prize Committee saying “no” is an especially deep wound.

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Just off the top of my head, Thiel’s Christ is probably Thiel. And the Antichrist is whoever tells Thiel no.

Yeah, but who would invite Waluigi?

Feel like Waluigi would be on the Epstein flight logs but not Wario and I think that’s the fundamental difference between the characters

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev saying “You are accused of doomer behavior. The court finds you guilty and sentences you to be shot.”

People are still doing “there aren’t going to be midterms” posts as we see these people struggle to handle a guy in a frog costume

And let me highlight the DISCIPLINE at play here and across the country, too.

They are trying to goad protestors into lighting a Reichstag fire and those efforts are being met with suggestive hip thrusts from a giant inflatable frog.

This is movement not taking the bait.

The costumes are so oversized that they literally block the shock troops from the camera.

To the extent that you see them, they stop looking agentive and start looking captive, passive, and lost.

Took me a moment, was thinking “yes, we should start building bridges and tunnels so animals can cross highways and railways safely. It’s good for the environment and it makes transit safer.”

I hate the man but Jesus what a way to go, slowly dying on live tv.

I haven’t made any special study or anything, but I would consider it’s all part of the attack on white manhood (“attack”). Like “they’re making the frogs gay” and Jewish space lasers are all aimed at their sense of victim hood.

sorta feel like the core central division in conservatism is "hierarchy is inevitable, so it must be made just and virtuous" and "hierarchy is inevitable, so all it does is just and virtuous"

The thing about crashing a tank through a museum of antiquities is that you don't have to be a particularly skilled driver to do a lot of damage.

Love the gnome hat! Was that ever something we could wear?

A beautiful little butterfly fluttered calmly around the cafe before settling on the edge of the screen of the laptop of the person sitting working at the next table. It didn't seem remotely disturbed by her typing and was still there when I headed off twenty mins later. A good omen – it has to be 🦋

Alternate trilogy where Dooku and Yoda both end up on Dagobah squabbling about ideology and philosophy like a pair of bitchy old people at the senior home and Luke shows up like wtf. Yoda says "Teach you in the ways of the Force, I will. Ignore my former Padawan roommate, you should. Suck, he does."
