Um, this quarter’s McSweeney’s (#80) is FANTASTIC.
McSweeney’s 80 which is a 1990s style “trapper keeper” binder with a rather Lisa Frank-like underwater illustration featuring dolphins on its cover. There is a rainbow lens flare.

I miss it so much.
Pictures for Sad Children comic: a person next to a dumpster sees something hanging out. Person: somebody's busted up old ipod. what a dang i waste. Close up of busted iPod with screen partly cracked and blacked out, showing “[obscured]rets” Person: hey it kinda works Person pauses. Person: what oh geeze. i barely remember saying that. Panel captioned “later:” Person to a closed door: check it out jeremy. it plays you your regrets. iPod to Jeremy: instead of potential in a variety of areas, you should have developed a single skill because now you are an adult and potential is useless. Jeremy: dang

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
Album art for Iron & Wine’s Our Endless Numbered Days, being a bearded gentleman drawn in a pointilist style against a grassy background with a halo or aura of lighter green grass (or rays) surrounding him.

Meanwhile, a story of me mildly replying just “I think you’re confused” to a post in two images
Post by Susie Roberts @moongirlsusie.bs... • 6m "Leftist rhetoric"? So now anything said by far-right nutcases (that group includes Trump) is "leftist rhetoric" and it's out of control? Wow.

McCarthyism redux.
A tweet on X from Rep. Clay Higgins (@RepClayHiggins) split over two images: “I’m going to use Congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to mandate immediate ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk. If they ran their mouth with their smartass hatred celebrating the heinous murder of that beautiful young man who dedicated his whole life to delivering respectful conservative truth into the hearts of liberal enclave universities, armed only with a Bible and a microphone and a Constitution… those profiles must come down. So, I’m going to lean forward in this fight, demanding that big tech have zero tolerance for violent political hate content, the user to be banned from ALL PLATFORMS FOREVER. I’m also going after their business licenses and permitting, their businesses will be blacklisted aggressively, they should be kicked from every school, and their drivers licenses should be revoked. I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination. I’m starting that today. That is all.” A tweet on X from Rep.

I should not be required to create an account on a privately owned site to see publicly-made accusations threatening individuals’ free speech rights reported to a government figure. This is Landau’s response to someone wanting to report leftists for public comments re: Kirk that they don’t like.
A tweet on Sept 11, 2025 at 9:18 am from Chris Landau, @DeputySecState on X where replies are hidden behind a link (requiring login to view). The tweet says “Please repost them here. I will direct consular officials to monitor the comments to this post.”

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.
Three panels of a comic book. The first panel shows a mutated humanoid creature, with the inset text “where’s my mouth” in squiggly large letters. The hands of the humanoid creature hold dying or dead human bodies, sizzling from some sort of acidic secretion. There is a steaming skeleton at the creature’s feet. Second panel, Captain Britain arrives and punches the creature. He says “everyone get outside, I’ll deal with the creature!” the text has “I’ll” in bold for emphasis. People are running away behind him, framing is a bit of a Dutch angle. Third panel, Captain Britain falls back from the foregrounded creature, a look of horror on his face. A thought bubble above his head says “good god that smell… It’s… no! It’s dead!! It’s got to be dead!” Cover of the Captain Britain trade paperback by Alan Davis and Jamie Delano, with introduction by Chris Claremont. Captain Britain is centered, with Meggan at his side, both leaping or flying toward the reader; behind them in black and yellow are Gatecrasher, Sid, members of the Crazy Gang, the “eyes” of the Fury, and an alternate earth Saturnyne (Sat-Ur-9 if I recall correctly), as well as multiple images of the Earth itself.

Stop posting this if you care at all about coalition building on the left ffs. (“Yes but I mean it as…” if you think you’re expressing something nuanced that people broadly understand in the same way I’m afraid you’re wrong and have failed communications 101)

I understood that reference (and owned that comic at some point, possibly even still)
MARVEL TEAM-UP comic book floppy cover Aunt May and Franklin Richards vs. Galactus; Aunt May is depicted as a golden Silver Surfer-like figure; Franklin is in the background as is Galactus’s giant pink helmeted head. A small inset badge says: not a hoax! Not a what if! Not an imaginary story! It also has a disclaimer stamp stating Beware: It’s Assistant Editors' Month! Don’t say we didn’t warn you! In the top left corner in the standard Marvel brand badge, Spider-Man’s head appears with the thought bubble asking what’s going on here? This is supposed to be my comic

I have seen it all over bsky, and of course the Canadians are not only justified but correct to assert their sovereignty because, as the excerpt below shows, the USA’s leadership is full of clowns.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited a library that straddles the border, hopping from Quebec to Vermont while chanting "5lst state!" Through the early months of the year, the administration continued to threaten, delay, and apply more tariffs while others were struck down in court. Canada is now chiefly being hit with 50 percent duties on steel and aluminum and 25 percent on automobiles, categories from which it had theoretically won exemptions when it signed the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement in 2018, a pact Trump called "the best trade deal ever made." In April,
