The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

This is the type of politician we need. None of this treating MAGA with kid gloves, with all their sex crimes and open corruption.

well that just about said it all

Yeah, holy shit.

I just checked, mine and @shaxbert.bsky.social 's comments calling them out- which have 2.6k and 1.6k likes respectively, are just fucking GONE. Can't even find them by scrolling down anymore, they straight up 'hid' them.

Fucking cowards.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

🧵

The Chaotic Queer Cat sits proudly at the top of a ledge, their rainbow cloak billowing in the wind. An onlooker complains “uhg, its not even pride month.” The onlooker begins to jeer “hey loser! I identify as an attack helicop-“ but he never finished that sentence. In his eagerness to taunt, he failed to notice the cat hunker down and gulp repeatedly before barfing up jet stream of rainbow down onto him. “OH GOD!” he wails from offscreen.

Look, if we're getting rid of the First Amendment, apparently we're getting rid of all of it...

(the proper response from journalists here is "fuck no" and if you lose your press pass, so fucking be it, and start working on building up your sources inside the pentagon to continue your reporting)

all fascists are cowards, if you tell them no they run scared, if you try to appease them they sense weakness and attack harder

ICE agents in the Park Ave neighborhood spark large-scale protest The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the ICE-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed.

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters

The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof

Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

here's the thing, don't feel bad about enjoying this moment because if he is still alive, he is now watching literally the entirety of the english speaking globe celebrating and laughing at the thought of him dying, and THAT is worth it alone

we were all happy for an evening and that’s not nothing

The truth is out there.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.
