My response was in three parts:

1- No tears shed when a rich person has their vacation impacted

2- The inconvenience of one person is not equivalent to the loss of research and lives

3- Not a conspiracy of Dems. Republicans are filthy, venal creatures

I spoke with an elder in my family the other day. Talking about how much research has been impacted by the impounded funds, they responded by telling me how it was just like when Melania was traveling and the bank froze her funds. And, that it was a bank conspiracy with the Dems pulling the strings.

Dear government officials stepping down in protest, please stop. Instead of stepping down, please dig in. Please fight back. Make it harder for the coup to take over, not easier.

The "find glasses" issue can be solved by buying multiple pairs (prescription) and leaving them strewn around the house, "like Dunkins around Boston," according to my daughter.

4 frame comic. Stephie and Frank are on a couch, looking at their phone. Stephie says : Trump wants to ban gender-affirming care for trans people under 19 because we shouldn't make permanent decisions about our bodies at such a young age. Can you check what's the minimum age to join the army? Frank says : It's seventeen in the united states. why? Stephie says : no reason.

Panel One: A scientist works at a blackboard. Diagrams and text on the blackboard contain the phrases: crushing darkness, seemingly no escape, time drags and, inhospitably cold. A second figure approaches and, seeing the blackboard, asks "Black Holes?" Panel Two: The scientist replies "January"

A timely cartoon for @newscientist.bsky.social

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is sewing something, hunched over in deep focus. Screaming in surprise, he drops the needle and his work as Blue manifests out of nowhere right behind him, peering over Green's shoulder. Blue: What are you working on? Blue stands back as Green turns to look at him, still in wide-eyed shock. Blue: Sorry, did I startle you? Green: ...You just popped out of nowhere! Blue sits down, perfectly calm, looking at Green, who looks back in disbelief. Blue: I have been sitting here for 15 minutes. Green: How??

Ask me about the Bridgeton Ball. Maybe one of the songs would suit!
