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.

An absolutely STUNNING number of gorgeous women with no bio and no posts want to follow me on BlueSky. Where were all these gals when I was 18?

A lovely delicate little thing!

The barbarians are at the gate.

I hope that this is not construed as being either xenophobic or racist, but this is what you get when you staff an entire administration off of the Temu clearance rack. Bunch of moral defectives. Can we rehabilitate the word “deplorables”?

Guess who wants this photo banned from the internet? Please like and repost! 😉😘

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Arthur C. Clarke

Congress should ask Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearings why she failed to bring statutory rape charges against Matt Gaetz.

In what perverse alternate universe is Matt Gaetz qualified for anything other than a lengthy prison sentence? And this is the guy that 45 wanted to be the highest law enforcement officer of the nation??? What upside down world am I living in? Beam me up!!!

Please explain this to John Fetterman.

We lost so much when we lost this fine human being. Miss him, and that’s a great idea! ❤️

I wonder who Mump is nominating for Food Taster.

Outside of Raleigh, NC, after heavy rains from Hurricane Helene!

Is it possible that the Mumps have eaten JD, perhaps with a nice chianti? I bet that’s one chapter of Hillbilly Elegy he never saw coming.

It may only be a naive indulgence in revisionist thinking, but I wonder if we will ever get back to the days when elected officials actually did their jobs without play acting the high drama of petulant self-important twits. Do your job or go home!

Those of us who avoided polio and whooping cough in the 50s because of vaccines, and due to the vision of a group of leaders who weren’t goddamn idiots denying science - we feel genuinely sorry for the coming generation and the ills that are promised them. Buckle up!

I’m trapped somewhere in the middle of disgust, incredulity and rage at the utterly blatant and unapologetic MEDIOCRITY of the incoming “administration”. It’s the Venn diagram from Hell. Credit to Bob Dylan: “it’s not dark yet, but it’s gettin’ there”.

I think it was from a Pogo cartoon: “Scientists have found the link between the ape and civilized man. It’s us.”

Speaking of mass deportation: in the late 60s/early 70s, my deeply radical older sister sported a button that stated “US out of North America!” She was immensely snarky and way ahead of her time. She would froth at the mouth were she alive today. I still have the button on my windowsill.

It’s Wednesday, December 11, 2024. Upheaval in Syria, clown car in DC, billionaires interbreeding like demented rabbits, the promise of pardons for 1000+ convicted criminals, and I’m stuck on considering what a strange word “hippopotamus” is. I may need counseling.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind”. We want kids with inquiring minds, not a nation of lemmings. Read on!!!

Keep your hate outta the FAFO state 🤌🏼

For you Biblical scholars out there: what happens when you sow the wind? Asking for a friend…

Let me see if I got this straight. The population of the US is around 335 million souls, and knucklehead won the election with 77,238,000 votes. Check my math, but 23% is not a mandate, and 23% should not determine my future, and the future of democracy in the US, or anywhere. Nope.

I wonder if the poor folks who enthusiastically voted for the Middle Ages then formed committees to try to outlaw the Renaissance. And then sat around grumping "Nah, we ain't havin' none of that Enlightenment shit either!" Gonna be a long four years.

I have not heard it mentioned anywhere, but is there, or is there planned to be a subscription plan to help support Bluesky? I keep hoping for some clarity about how and where to pit funds in the hands of those on the front lines. Feel free to respond if you have ideas.

Okay, so I've weaned myself off of "legacy media", burned my tv in the back yard, never wanted to join Facebook, thought MySpace was dumb (even back then), can't abide talk radio, and wouldn't recognize a bot if it bit me on the ass. Am I reduced to reading Candide and "tending my own garden"? Sad.

What, no cabinet position?
