—Johnny Cash’s “The Stranger”

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

Minneapolis February 4, 2026

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Here's a cartoon from, as you see, 1911. What Dr. Plait says is not new news.

Alt text: Toby Maguire, dressed as Spiderman's red and black wrestling outfit in the Spiderman movie.

Text reads - That's a cute opinion. Did [picture of Jeffrey Epstein] give it to you?

Anyway, congrats to Will Lewis bumping the UK tabloid scandal to the second sentence of his obit.

The Hulk reading the newspaper: "Everyone dumb."

Everyone dumb.

That's the thing about paid newsletters: if you're a take-merchant who mostly aggregates and shares opinions, you *might* have a shot at making some money. If you do actual in-depth reporting, etc., though, it's... a lot rougher

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

Love to see Alex Toth swinging for the fences.

Today is the birthday of artjst Robert McGinnis (Feb. 3, 1926-March 10. 2025). Most known for illustrating over a 1,200 book covers and dozens of movie posters.

If many people hold a left-wing opinion they are a mob and should be ignored; if few people hold a left wing opinion they are fringe and should be ignored. The substance or correctness of the opinion is irrelevant. This is the reactionary centrist credo bsky.app/profile/eliv...

Ratboys make you a sandwich - Chicago Reader Ratboys roll out the "Bolo Joe" at JT's, Beverly Phono Mart opens a pop-up while its crashed-into storefront gets fixed, and more.

Ratboys are putting out a (great!) album Friday, so I did my duty and asked the band about a new promotional sandwich they collaborated on with TJ’s in Avondale.

Super important topic that is talked about a lot but not in the right ways.

This is the right way to talk about.

a comic. Panel 1: title, “A BRIEF ASIDE ABOUT “THE MOVE” There is a diagram with an icon of Fanlee making an exclamation while an icon of a rabbit looks on with heart eyes.

panel 2: caption, “FANLEE HAS ALWAYS EXERCISED A MANNER OF BLUNT STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS” Fanlee, a child, is peering up over the counter and talking to her father. “Daddy make me french toast” he replies, unbothered and preparing her toast, “Already on it, leelee.”

panel 3: caption, “BUT WHAT WOULD COME TO BE KNOWN AS ‘THE MOVE’ WOULD NOT OCCUR IN ITS FULLNESS UNTIL JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL” teenage Fanlee is grabbing the backpack of some puffin. She says, “Kent Haderbrook, you’re taking me to prom” Kent replies, confused, “what,” “ok”

panel 4: caption, “OVER THE FOLLOWING DECADE, IT PROVED A FRUITFUL AVENUE FOR PARTNER SELECTION, APPEALING AS IT DOES TO THE SUBMISSIVE AND THOSE WILLING TO PLAY ALONG.” Fanlee, in a dress and leaning against a bar commands a nearby capybara, “you, buy me a drink” she responds with a smile, “yeah alright.”

a brief aside about “the move” (1/2)

The AI told me that's where you get the deku mask, which turns you into a deku scrub. There was something else that was bonkers too.

Yeah. I tell you what happened when I googled the forest stage in Ocarina?

Google gets more useless the more invasive it gets.

Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

Reminder here’s some adobe alternatives, Because FUCK ADOBE….

And it should go without saying, but even if Netflix was some super lefty company with super lefty content, that wouldn't be a legitimate excuse to block the acquisition.

But again, it's not. Netflix is home to every transphobic comedians' stand up specials, ffs

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration

I'm procrastinating HARD this morning, so...here's All Saints Episcopal Church, the oldest oldest wood-frame church in the city. I get all googly-eyed every time I find myself at the corner of Wilson and Hermitage in Ravenswood.
