The Oregon Trail reboot that the world needs right now. Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

"This may be the year when we finally come face-to-face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it –that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesman with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." —Hunter S. Thompson

Titus the Large Treasure. When he came to us, Titus was a 9-month, 3.9kg pest. Now, he is a 12 month 5.8kg treasure. He is fixed vaccinated and chipped. He loves to play with his foster brothers, trill his little songs, & cuddle on any available lap. If you have a younger or playful cat & time to enrich the life of this delightful himbo, email me (Gabby) at GABRIELLETPATTERSON@GMAIL.COM

Hello, I'm Gabby, fosterer & re-homer of cats. After a friend passed in Dec, we took in their precious babies. Typically, we don't struggle to find homes but this time we've hit a wall. These cats are AMAZING & we will deliver to anywhere in the UK for a perfect home where they're loved forever.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Oh my god Donald Trump has contradicted something he said in the past, I can’t wait for the hypocrisy to take him down at last

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

On February 27, 1989, Laura Palmer's funeral took place.

I really can't emphasize enough that you are a complete freak if you care about Boy Scout genitals

the thing about max landis is you're like "how does hollywood keep producing these serial abusers?" and then you remember his dad killed multiple children and got away with it

Are you a struggling actor? Simply be racist or assault a woman and you too could be in a real piece of shit.

The "espresso martini" brunette hair color trend feels rich, picture of a pretty lady (gracie abrams?) with such hair

Hearing about this new trend. It's called brown hair

Trying to think if this hurts my head more or less than seeing that Netflix is going to get $2.8 billion to not buy Warner Bros.

I feel like such a chump. I've been not buying Warner Bros. all this time for free.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Historically, it is not good when governments decide to immediately seize critical personal documents from a marginalized group.

KONG: SKULL ISLAND should’ve ended with a smash cut to John C. Reilly’s character looking directly at the camera and saying “That was about Vietnam!”

Profiles in courage.

Give it up for John Carpenter, he predicted Mar-a-Lago face over 30 years ago

Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax

Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."

A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."

Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

Entering the charts 40 years ago this week. Gather ye rosebuds.

This week we dip our toe into the world of comic books by covering the first 6 issues of Transmetropolitan. However, covering a series like this requires a whole lot of context so this first part is only Issue 1, with the remaining 5 to come next week.

And I don't think any of it has to do with Costco being some great lover of the people, they are simply the rare US company that still remembers you need customers to stay in business and not treat them like assholes you sometimes gotta put up with but would very much prefer didnt come in here
