Went to pick up a friend of the boys while I was taking them all to the gym and the kid comes out into the driveway with a paper plate and a single peeled banana dripping with what I imagine was either honey or maple syrup.

To his credit it only took him a momentary glance at my expression to figure out that syrup bananas and leather interiors don't mix. Also? Points for creativity. Kid ate the syrup banana right there in the driveway. It was like a real-life sitcom moment.

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

As I mention in the Patreon post, I think it's time to let the hacked/shutdown Goats and SFAM websites sleep for a bit. I don't want the hassle of having to deal with setting up another decaying archive for free that goes mostly unused. But I've got another idea.

I'm going to repost ALL of the Goats and SFAM comics on Patreon! One at a time, one a day, with a little commentary where appropriate. I think reruns would be fun. Anyone else think the same thing? I haven't figured out the particulars but I should be able to get started in the next week or two.

If I had a nickel for everyone driving behind me who got impatient and decided to dart around into oncoming traffic and nearly kill a pedestrian or run a red light today I'd have ten cents. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

First time was in a parking lot, I was at a stop sign letting a pedestrian cross. Driver nearly ran her over and then drove off like nothing happened. Second one, they got in front of me just in time to hit a red light. I think they were so embarrassed they ran the light rather than be perceived

New page is done, gonna give it a once over tomorrow and I'll post after I make any necessary fixes. This one was fun, looking forward to drawing the rest of this scene

Octopus is the easiest thing to cut out of your diet on moral grounds because it’s basically never around, probably has dreams and emotions and tastes like a tire.

"Free speech advocates" on the political right are such pathetic hypocrites

Bleecker Street, the film distributor overseeing the theatrical release of Alex Gibney's documentary Musk, was informed on Friday that the film's TikTok account was subject to "permanent suspension." tinyurl.com/4yd9997x

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Joe and Eileen Bailey told him to keep his mouth shut if he knows what's good for him. They know where he lives

Truthout@truthout.org

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

Yeah building a car that can drive upside down and flip around is kind of impressive if you consider how many upside down roads there are. Always a problem during the morning commute. Now life will be easy

I think that, like every other attempt they’ve made to go after high profile regime enemies through the legal system, this is likely to end poorly for them in court it is also an extremely dangerous escalation and should be treated like the emergency it is by both Dem leadership and the media

WSJ: 'The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe'

read that sentence. it is a description of political persecution. anyone giving this the time of day as a serious legal case is a fool.
