i'm just SPOOKY bix

it feels truly insane that it’s not

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Southwestern Colorado floods closed critical roadways. Here’s how to get around. coloradosun.com/2026/10/26/s...

If nobody got me, I know the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park Fruita Campground got me

There is a better way … because people show us that every day.

ICE arrested a 56-year old green card holder, i.e. a lawful permanent resident, and detained him in the Rio Grande Processing Center, where he died. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/19/t...

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

Another older Halloween comic. I lost the old file so I recently had to redraw it, and I had a lot of fun revisiting this.

Does it make sense to deport a man who overstayed a visa but otherwise has no criminal record when his deportation means shutting down a food pantry that serves meals to 7,000-8,000 needy people a month? Does choosing not to exercise discretion in his case make America greater?

As a noted misandrist, I denounce all brotherhoods

The nation's exurbs long for a return to the civilizational golden age of decentralized bands ruled by warring tribal chieftains. Headman Randy of The Villages will pay for roads and schools using the proceeds from ritual captive raids on Margaritaville Orlando.

Insulating homes and investing in heat pumps would be more effective in reducing living costs, creating jobs, and boosting the economy than drilling for new oil.

This guy is close. I'd want the chief to take El- Sayed's badge and gun, though he gets results.

Memento Mori 💀🦋🏛️🐈

Tomen-y-Mur #Roman auxiliary fort in #Gwynedd was built c. AD 78 and abandoned by AD 140 It had its own amphitheatre, providing entertainment and a place to train Today it is largely frequented by sheep 🐑 📷 Aug 2008 Reconstruction by John Hodgson for the on site signboard #RomanSiteSaturday

Next time it needs to be melted down

The reason abortion is popular right now is that roughly three generations of women have had access to it and we all know someone (possibly ourselves) whose life has been saved by it.

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry began on October 16, 1859.

Somehow, the East India Company has returned

observation: gigantic illegal medical bills are not generally paperwork errors, they are part of the quasi-criminal extortion process by which every part of the healthcare system operates. they take people for what they think they can get

I trained to be a Colorado Mountain Express driver, was all set to start, then found out from a current driver that they were often short staffed and he'd been living off 4-5 hours of sleep a night for months. I concluded I would kill myself and many others on I-70 and pivoted to ski lift operations

Nothing makes me want to go touch a tree to remind myself of what's at stake like reading long threads about whether AI is people

I hate golf | Adrian Chiles

baseball is good because it’s a sport of scheming viziers. what is a head coach but a king. and what is an assistant but a guy who says shit like “most excellent, my liege”

very correct for my people to be near the bottom, most of us are spending Saturday lunchtime on I-70

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.

many centrists are as disdainful of science as MAGA these days. virtually every study on the topic, and there have been many, show that youth programs reduce crime. it's a settled question. this is no different from claiming vaccines are a hoax.

Excerpts from Michael Lewis on DOGE (Guardian article). 1. Gavin Kliger, white nationalist, refused to shake hands with the Black IRS staffer who briefed him on privacy issues. Or pay attention. Kliger now has a defense start-up valued at 1.4B thanks to DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

this whole thing IS making me want to watch the Nazis get obliterated in twelve hours by whichever country draws the short straw at the African Union meeting

Will this year's record-shattering El Niño event be the strongest in a millennium? In a new piece over at The Climate Brink I review the paleoclimate literature from tree rings and corals and argue that may well turn out to be the case:

Bryn Celli Ddu for #TombTuesday. This place was designed so that the light would enter at midsummer, but the guardian stone would always stand in the shadows, observing.

For this Indigenous Peoples Day, your astonishing artifact is the earliest known Indigenous depiction of a European — a wood carving from Nunavut dated to 1350. 🧪🏺

Yesterday was the 150th anniversary of the victory over Custer and his army at Little Big Horn. At the Black Hills Pow Wow, indigenous dancers from many nations reenacted the battle. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day youtu.be/9erBJ2V0lU0?...

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your CV? Scientist: I made it in TeX and can't figure out how to remove the gap but I also don't want to get yelled at if I post a question on stackexchange, so I have instead decided to appreciate the gap, which is still there

I died in the shipwreck of a whaling vessel in 1798, but a few days later, clinging to an old rum barrel. Now I can only haunt this one specific patch of desolate ocean. I thought I saw a cruise liner once, in the distance. Had a scare ready to go and everything. Not much going on outside of that
