In this environment a Dem can win by promising to put anyone who's ever been in the same room with Trump in jail and to make every Trump voter wear a dunce cap. It's neither smart nor necessary to hug and kiss these people!

My dad always used to say that the Jews are the only people on Earth to catalog every time they let their god down, and then make that book their Bible.
And this made me think they're also the only people on Earth to catalog every time their god let them down, and then make that book their Bible.

Something centre-right journalists absolutely love is the "enrages environmentalists" framing
It presents climate / enviro folks as irrational, salivating and constantly infuriated idiots, whereas 'centrist' pro-fossil politicians are Very Serious, level-headed Adults In The Room

I like how they think that if we abolish white collar labor with AI and everyone starts working with their hands, it’s gonna be hammering shit at the masculinity factory and not wiping butt in hospitals, especially if immigration becomes more restrictive

Terrific tribute from @paulkupperberg.bsky.social to a hardcover that was enormously important to comics artists my age and older. I couldn’t get my own copy when I was a kid & the library didn’t have it, but somehow a friend’s dad did, so I repeatedly read it cover to cover at his house!
It's the 60th anniversary of the release of Jules Feiffer's THE GREAT COMIC BOOK SUPER-HEROES, one of the most influential books about comics for a couple of generations of comic book creators!
