Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson, one of the greatest comic strips of all time, was born on this day, November 18, 1985 -- December 31, 1995.

And Calvin's dad remains a beacon of inspiration to cyclists everywhere.
Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. In frame one Calvin opens a door and says, "Hey Dad, I'm doing a traffic safety poster. Do you have any ideas for a slogan?" Frame 2: Dad, who's prepping to ride his mountain bike, says, "Sure! 'Cyclists have a right to the road too, you noisy, polluting, inconsiderate maniacs! I hope gas goes up to eight bucks a gallon!'" Frame 3: Calvin, walking away, says, "Thanks, Dad. I'll go ask Mom." Dad responds from out-of-frame, "Why? That's a great slogan!"

Was kosten uns Männer, Boris von Heesen? 63,5 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr. Für Gefängnisaufenthalte, sexuelle Übergriffe, jede Menge Gewalttaten oder Wirtschaftskriminalität.

Ich sehe auf Youtube seit kurzem diese Werbungen.. Wenn man dem Link folgt, kommt man auf ein angebliches Interview zwischen @arminwolf.at , Kurz, Kickl und Wagenknecht auf Krone.at (andere url)
Es geht um ein "Investmenttool", das angeblich viel verspricht, aber natürlich ein scam ist
Screenshot auf Youtube. Zu sehen Kickl und Kurz mit der Unterüberschrift "Neue Fragen zu Herbert Kickl. Was im Life-TV passierte, sorgt für Gesprächsstoff" Es sieht aus wie ein oe24 Artikel

Comic. (1) [Teacher points to world map that highlights the edges of South America’s eastern coastline and Africa’s western coastline.] TEACHER: People had long noticed that South America and Africa had similarly-shaped coastlines. (2) TEACHER: In the 20th century, geologists finally found the explanation. (3) STUDENT: *Plagiaris*— TEACHER: Continental drift. STUDENT: Oh.

Subject: Auto-reply women's voices Hello! You've written in to voice your dislike of one of our female reporter's voices. You're not alone. We have a filter set up that automatically sends these types of emails into a folder labeled "zero priority." We'll review this folder and consider the complaints within, well, never. Amazingly we don't even have a folder for complaints about the male voices on our show, because we've never gotten one! Isn't that strange? We think so. Anyway, hope you can continue to enjoy our free podcast somehow, 2. and if you can't there are plenty of shows that don't feature women's voices at all. -99pi (the radio program and podcast 99% Invisible)

My cartoon for this weekend’s @theguardian.com books.
A sunny day in the park. People jog, walk their dogs and sit in the shade of the trees. A woman sits on a bench and says: “It's my perfect job, really! Their owners are busy people who love them but don't have time to give the attention they need. Nobody likes to think of them just lying around the house all alone. So I pick them up bright and early and we spend the whole day in the park. I read a few chapters of each and drop them home with a short precis of what happened. Everyone's happy!” She is reading a book and has a pile of six more beside her.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Fun-Fact zu den US-Zöllen:
Gut für Österreich, dass wir EU-Mitglied sind. Denn nach Trumps Zollformel (Handelsbilanz-Defizit/US-Importe) käme Ö. auf einen Fantasie-Zoll von 52% statt der angekündigten 20% für die EU.
Ö. hat 2024 um 16,2 Mrd. in die USA exportiert, aber nur um 7,7 Mrd importiert.

Scullsly from The X-Files, stands in front of a filing cabinet labeled ‘WORLD HISTORY.’ She is holding a file folder and looking at the camera with a serious expression. The text above reads: ‘When I hear the phrase “men don’t start drama.”’ The meme humorously suggests that world history, often shaped by wars and conflicts initiated by men, contradicts the claim. Meme by Bored Panda.

Silly psy cartoon for the weekend!
This cartoon humorously but poignantly depicts the differing internal experiences of a human and their dog. The human, depicted as a young person wearing a beanie and sweater, is tossing a ball for their dog and thinking: “I love how he finds joy in the simple things.” Meanwhile, the dog, eagerly chasing the ball, is internally thinking: “The emotional burden of alleviating his depression is crushing me.” The contrast between their thoughts highlights the unspoken emotional labor that pets often perform for their owners, especially those struggling with mental health challenges. The cartoon plays with the idea that while humans often admire their pets’ ability to live in the moment, the pet might, in turn, feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility for their owner’s well-being. This satirical inversion adds depth to the common perception of pets as sources of unconditional joy and support.
