Is there any way to save this image so I may reference it later? I can't seem to find an obvious one, as right-clicking does not work.

Unbelievable. This is an escalation I was not expecting. Arresting a JUDGE? How far have we gone, and how far will we go? I miss America as she used to be.

Here's a drawing I did a long time ago. I REALLY like it and it reminds me I used to be pretty capable. I'm so out of practice now I doubt I could even come close to it. But it exists and maybe it can inspire me to practice some more.

That is AWESOME!

The Truth About Musk, From His Biographer A viral Bluesky thread introduced tens of thousands around the world to a first glimpse of a forthcoming biography of Elon Musk. Here—in a single essay—is some of what the world just learned.

ICYMI.

My apologies. I misread then.

While I'm pleased to see someone from "the other side" finally reach this realization, we've been screaming these points at the tops of our lungs for decades and nobody listened to us. Making abortion illegal doesn't stop abortion, it merely makes it less safe.

Look! Intelligent, reasoned discourse with correct facts from a politician! Canada really does do things differently than we do! I love my country but for a moment there I really wanted to be Canadian.

When I first saw this I thought it was a hoax. It had to be right? No sane person would be for this! But no, it's everywhere, reported pretty much every news site. My aunt had Polio. I wonder if I can get her to DC to testify that "it's bad"? This is just insane.

We cannot go forward like this. It appalls me that he even THINKS about removing the Polio vaccine from being available to Americans.

He's also got 13 other vaccines in the list, including ones that include polio in combination with other diseases.
The last case of Polio in America was in 2022, from a traveler who got it elsewhere. This is a horrific disease and you wouldn't want it, nor for anyone to have it.

RFK JR, who is nominated to be in charge of all healtchare in the country as part of Donald Trumps cabinet, has an attorney he's been working with for years. That attorney has now filed to get the FDA to REPEAL the approval for the POLIO vaccine.

I thought this was a hoax. IT HAD TO BE A HOAX. But no, it's reported in multiple news sites. The New York Times has it, but it's paywalled, So I'm using this one. Please google it yourself if you don't like the source.

Panel 1 : Scene :colorful planet with a ‘flying saucer’ overhead Caption 1 : this planet appears to have suffered a runaway greenhouse effect. Caption 2: It is completely cloud covered. It has no polar ice caps, and there are remains of a once-mighty civilization under the clouds. Panel 2 : Scene : 2 green skinned aliens talking about the planet Alien 1 : Did they know what was happening to them? 2nd Alien : It looks like they were actually making some progress until they were stopped by something called a “Trump” who ended all hope of this species’ survival. Panel 3 : Alien 1 : And something else … we keep encountering this word … “COVFEFE”. Panel 4 : 2-shot of the aliens again Alien 1 : We think it means “Disaster” or maybe “Armageddon “ Alien 2 : very well. We shall name this planet “COVFEFE” as a reminder to never turn your back on science and learning. Let us leave this sad place and never return.

One day Trump posted what anybody would have recognized as a typo, but Trump couldn’t admit an error so he doubled down. Similarly he had pulled us out of the Kyoto records all but killing any chance of meeting climate change goals. So I put them together.

The more sophisticated makeup is always used in the Cold Open where they have more time to put it on, or after a film or a skit where the cast member did not appear. They plan the order for that, I have no doubt.

Say it with me. NO! NO! NO!

A Senator from Wyoming has introduced a bill to force the US Government to buy BITCOIN and store it for at least 20 years. This has no purpose other than to enrich the people who currently hold bitcoin and cannot sell it because it's a useless fantasy currency with no real value.

The man is incapable of admitting he was wrong. On any topic, even ancillarily. He will never ever admit he lost because that would be admitting he was wrong about something.

That makeup they use on SNL to make Sarah Sherman look like Matt Gaetz is just FREAKY. It's awesome but freaky. Makes you wonder how much of her face she can actually move under that makeup.

(I really want to point out that I got the best image of the General as I could and I actually took the time to get ALL of his ribbons accurate, even at that scale. Which is why he's simply copied to panel 3 as that was a lot of work. :))

5 panel comic strip. At the top it is labeled "Stages of a Trump Scandal". First Panel: A bald general in full military regalia stands rigid. The caption at the top says "The Denial". The General says "The President did not do it." Panel Two: Caption: "The Admission". Image of Trump with a bright red tie that goes all the way to the ground. Trump says "Of course I did it." Panel Three: Caption: "The Walk-Back: Same general from panel 1 now says "He's the President. He can do whatever he wants." Panel 4: Caption: Fox Lies: TV newsman with good hair says "This is the not the scandal you were looking for." In a second dialog balloon he says "You can move along." Panel 5: Caption: "And Then:" image is blank except for bright red words that say "It Starts all over again!" Written and drawn by Pat Augustine

This is where it really started to annoy me that the scandals just never stopped.

I found an ENT who agreed to remove it using a relatively new laser procedure to cut down on healing time. Submitted to UHC. Got back a denial that even though their top medical Dr agreed it was necessary they were not going to cover it. Had to pay $17k out of pocket.

Nearly every day. To the point where sometimes I fell down as my eyesight shrunk to smaller and smaller windows. Naturally this freaked my co-workers out as it looked like I was going to choke to death every day after lunch.

Years ago I had an enlarged uvula (the little thing that hangs down in your throat). It would literally sit on my tongue, it was that long. Every time I ate, the uvula would be irritated and get even bigger. I would choke on my uvula.

Black square. Text says : Today’s cartoon has been classified Top Secret. You are not authorized to read it.* Further down is a red caption box that says : * Russian Agents - Plese see @realdonaldtrump for your uncensored cartoon. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The next was about Trump showing classified documents to Russian agents. The art is simplistic. I think I was trying to evoke a 5 1/4” floppy disk visually.

#trump #cartoon #classifieddocuments

Yes. That’s the joke.

Cartoon Donald Trump, standing alone has several word balloons. Balloon 1: All I hear all day is... Balloon 2: (text in red) RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA Balloon 3: Why can't it ever just be about me? Caption: Donald Trump channels his inner Jan Brady

Next, I was the first, to the best of my knowledge, to use the now common "Russia, Russia, Russia" refrain when knowlege of Russian interference in the election became known. A week later and it was everywhere and my minute of fame was over. :)

Cartoon of Jeff Sessions looking grumpily over his glasses. Caption: Jeff Sessions' Justice Dept is literally prosecuting a woman for laughing at Jeff Sessions Lower caption: Thus fulfillling a dream he's had since he was a frustrated teenage boy trying to lose his virginity... The implication being, of course, that girls laughed at him then, too, and he wished he had the power to get revenge.

Do you remember when Jeff Sessions used the full power of the DoJ to prosecute a woman who laughed loudly when he was described as having a record of being fair and treating everyone equally? That's what this cartoon was about. I remember thinking we couldn't get much worse. I was wrong.

Cartoon figure of Donald Trump behind a lectern. His hands are tiny and his tie is very long. Trump says "Only I* can do it" in a standard word balloon The * is completed below in large colorful letters stating "Incompetent Illiterate Idiot"

The next cartoon was, well, rather simplistic response to Trumps narcissism constantly telling us how only HE could do something.

This amuses me as I predicted years ago that we'd eventually get here in an effort to fight shoplifting, and that it would fail completely. A 100% secure store is not a store that anybody wants to shop at.
