Tom the Dancing Bug, by Ruben Bolling

🔵 This week's Tom the Dancing Bug - 🤡 D'oh! A Simpsonian look at Putin/Trump/Musk's Ukrainian War - READ IT RIGHT HERE👇

Woody Harrelson has done an ad "for Exxon". Well worth watching

Scrolling down the @nytimes.com homepage, I don’t come to the report on Jared Kushner’s traitorous multi-billion dollar bribery scheme until I get to … the Book Review section.

I wrote on @boingboing.net about WILDWOOD: A Magnificent Achievement in Moviemaking boingboing.net/2026/10/26/w...

Please enjoy my poem on the subject: If you read, then you have read. If you lead, then you have led. If you plead, then you have pled. If your metal is Pb, then you have lead

Don't forget that you can buy a signed copy of the new Tom the Dancing Bug comic book, TRUMP YOU! Did you forget? tomthedancingbug.com/tom-the-danc...

• Abraham Lincoln: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” • John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” • Theodore Roosevelt: “Believe you can and you're halfway there.” • Donald J. Trump: “EEUUUP!”

Saturday mornings cartoons…

…even a quick look at the facts of Theranos shows there’s no doubt as CEO/Chairman she told, and signed off on government filings containing, unambiguous, outrageous lies. The mystery of the movie seemed wholly contrived to me. (2/2)

The movie centers around the question of whether Holmes is a fraudster / master manipulator or a radically honest person who never lies, who is profoundly unconcerned about any financial matters, and who has the only purest love for her husband. Did she say *I* created or *they* created?But (1/2)

Wildwood is magnificent. 🍃

Trump’s Justice Dept. will never investigate of course. We have to pray the Dems get in power and can hold congressional hearings. Let’s put Jared under oath.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Let me be the first to wish the Great @alyankovic.bsky.social a wonderful and weird birthday, from Kuala Lumpur where it’s currently 5:06am October 23, and the streets have been filled with revelers for five hours.

🤡 Let's see what the free speech absolutist does....

I wrote on @boingboing.net about The Underwater Cabaret, a satirical magazine incredibly made by a poet hiding from the Nazis in a Netherlands attic. - boingboing.net/2026/10/22/t...

God, this is scary. They are killing science in universities and are pretty open about that. What’s unclear is whether they honestly think this is good for science, or consider it to be acceptable collateral damage of hurting universities, or don’t care as long as it funnels money to corporations.

"complaining"

Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

I wrote on @boingboing.net about the AI-slop Disney theme park guidebooks that are flooding the market, indistinguishably on Amazon among the actual, helpful books. These AI-generated books include fabricated hallucinations so spectacularly wrong, they're hilarious boingboing.net/2026/10/21/a...

Facebook is now throttling how many posts I can make that include a link. I'd have to pay for a Meta membership to post more than two links a month. I'm ambivalent enough about posting on Zuckerberg's platforms, I'm sure as hell not paying to do so.🖕

No one reading this needs to be reminded, but by allying with Russia over Ukraine we are aiding a country that openly calls us its enemy. This video is an excellent primer on the OBVIOUS advantages to the US siding with Ukraine, even setting aside (!) morality. www.instagram.com/reel/DeuF2w1...

Does the judge know yet that it’s a golf course military complex combination?
