If you are willing to yell at your GOP electeds in a good cause, here is one:
Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.
Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.

Oh no! Best wishes to Michael's family.
In a very sad coincidence, the co-author of the Al Capp book that I was talking about earlier today (and just finished reading on my morning commute) has passed away at the age of 75. Condolences to his friends and family.

Alert to Western comics writers: I don't care how serious your anti-war comic is, if you put a post-apocalyptic setting, a throttling, and the word "pathetic" in the same scene, old weebs like me are going to laugh and then have to watch that fecking anime for the millionth time

Go Shmoo, get booed, is this anything
Reading about a cartoonist who had it all--popular syndicated strip, best-selling books, merchandise, media tie-ins, friendship with celebrities and politicians--but he became a bitter rightwing crank in his final years and seemed almost compelled to destroy his own legacy.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Taxonomy is really neat, it is made of turtle meat.
*Scientists are nerds*, entry eleventybillion.
There are at least two prehistoric turtles named after the comic-book kaiju: Gamera the flying, fire-breathing prehistoric turtle, shown here at the height of his *dizzying* power.

a turtle is walking across a metal beam
Alt: Gamera the kaiju, from Godzilla movies and comic books, a prehistoric turtle the size of a skyscraper. He's shown biting a metal or wooden stick and rotating along his long axis in an endless loop. It's making me dizzy.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

So much of this era is the story of mean-spirited dumbasses getting enough power that decent, intelligent people can't step in and stop their terrible dumbass ideas.
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.
