yeah, I've been pondering this for the last day. He doesn't care about anything except power, praise, & money for himself. So what's the angle? Is it simply more distraction for Epstein? Or since he once suggested the US should take over Gaza, maybe this is dissing Isreal so we can move in? 100% SUS

Kirkus Reviews calls it "thoroughly clever and delightfully weird." This is correct.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids β€” but also endangering Jews across the globe.

A single-panel comic drawnin pen with inkwash shading; the top caption says "I've had such a long-standing habit of guilting myself during periods of art-block, I guilt myself even in periods of productivity."
In the panel, two visually identical versions of me, a white lady with wavy dark hair and glasses, are sitting on my couch; the one on the left is folding laundry from a hamper next to her, and the one on the right is lounging on the chaise end with an open can of beer.
The me folding laundry has speech bubbles saying "Hmmm. I haven't made enough art lately. I should work harder. I'm gonna fall out of practice." Lounging me replies, "Shut up. You literally drew a comic every day this week, and the 24 weeks before that." Laundry me responds, "Ya, I guess you're right. But what abou-" and is interrupted by Lounging me, who says "No. Shut up."
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (7-5-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

a desert landscape, a huge wall of rain coming towards the viewer.

While trying to not check the news constantly about the budget voting, I watched a huge rainstorm move in, and then I made some earl grey tea and watched it by the screen doors with the cool air and petrichor wafting in. Then I started two loaves and bread and made two dozen snickerdoodles.

I wonder if the Satanic Temple will choose to believe that Heterosexual Marriage is against their teachings, and therefore their followers can opt out of 99% of school offerings. One can only hope.

I totally agree. And I’m also curious about the phrasing that it needs age of verification if more than 1/3 of the content is porny. I hate AI, but I’m wondering if companies will, for every post, have the AI create two posts that aren’t porny at all. But I might not be reading it correctly.

I’ve read people here being extremely frustrated about finding reference photos because everything is AI junk. I’ve 100% believed them, but I haven’t had to find a reference photo for a while. And yeah, what used to be an incredible tool, the image search, is becoming useless. I wish AI would die.

Spanish preterite conjugations seem so nonsensical. It’s making it a little hard to get them to stick. 8-/

Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne's "Oglaf" is nothing short of brilliant. Anyone curious, checkout out (although be warned, as opposed to this silliness, it is often VERY NSFW) www.oglaf.com

A four panel comic for "make a terrible comic day." A dominatrix tells her slave to jump, and he replies, "How high?" She tells him to jump "higher than this stepstool." He says, "oh, that's easy," and as he winks at her he says, "Since stools can't jump." In the last panel she is furiously whipping him as he gleefully says, "Worth it!"

Also check out Christopher's excellent cover! He got in most of the key elements, including the chicken.

I realize that "kinda" isn't a pure contraction, that it shouldn't have an apostrophe at the end of it. I know it's an "a" and not an "o," but I still view it as a shortening of "kind of," and I want my my mark indicating the omitted "f"!
