"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

the John Birch Society should not be commenting on Five Nights at Freddy's. That would be like Julius Caesar having an opinion on Timothee Chalamet. I refuse to entertain the possibility.

*sigh* Critical support for Piers Morgan
PIERS: “You’re not gay?”
FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.”
P: “Should they vote?”
F: “No.”
PIERS: “They should stay home?”
FUENTES: “Yeah.”
PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?”
FUENTES: “No.”
PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

The heresy is some kind of Adoptionism — which posits that a fully human nature was at some pointed adopted by the divine Word as his own — and that’s fun and obscure of them to do.

Anyway stop remembering my feasts, I don’t need you, White House.

Odd thing from back in 2016. A Russian scanlation team was doing an unauthorized version of Nick Spencer’s and my old Image title “The Fix.”
When they got to the “fuck fuck fuck” panel, they went with a wild variety of cusses rather than sticking with the one.
(Great job of relettering, too)

This is something that, if found in a D&D loot stash, a good 2/3 of players wouldn't even touch, and the 1/3 that do are good role player (or new) properly playing their low int/wis score or deep character flaw to shinies.

Also any mention of Hourman compels me to remind everyone that Rick and Jesse saw *you* from across the bar and liked your vibe.

I used to work in publishing. This jacket has Big Dick Norman Mailer Energy all over it -- some dude (it was definitely a dude, either briefing it or designing it) deciding to produce a jacket that said 'Great American Novel! But for Non-Fiction!'

I had my students submit for extra credit a meme reflecting something they learned this semester, along with an accompanying paragraph connecting the meme to the course concept. There were some gems.

part of it is that they hate women, part of it is that they hate her specifically because they think she should want to fuck them, part of it is that all this shit is for the benefit of like 10K people on twitter who've all been legally prohibited from having unsupervised time with their children
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.
