No seriously though. Why was my entire book collection just newspaper funnies?
why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

I miss my dad, y'all.
I'm not doing great.
At the doctors office to see what they can do about my panic attacks and general depression/malaise.
I can't function and I'm becoming a burden on my loved ones.
Send nudes, money, and help.

Scum seek jobs where they can act like scum with authority.
Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

ICE agents shot a woman yesterday, but that wasn't enough cruelty, so Border Patrol went to a school and attacked people.
Minneapolis public schools canceled classes officials after Roosevelt High School said armed Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders

More than anything I feel absolutely heartbroken and sorry for the average Venezuelan who's just trying to make it. This doesn't help them at all. We have just made every honest life in that country a million times harder for no fucking reason.

Above everything else it has to be mentioned the Venezuelan opposition is not unified whatsoever, there is no government in waiting, and regardless of your feelings on Maduro all we've done is plunged the country into further chaos. Literally helps no one. Colonizers suck, big surprise.

Import public service announcement
If you'd like to reduce your blood pressure and eliminate a lot of needless in-fighting, I'd recommend muting or blocking Axios, Politico and Semafor as they seem to specialize in promoting quotes from anonymous Democratic contrarians in hopes of generating rage and engagement.

Appealing to Trump's "humanity" or anything remotely similar is like fucking for virginity
NEWS: Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Mark and Melissa Hortman, released statements after Trump reposted false claims about their parents’ deaths. Sophie Hortman urged Trump to remove the post, saying, “I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced.”

Trump: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not gonna be able to do it ... the EU needs us to have it"

elon musk doesn’t think female presenting people deserve to be on the internet, so he built a harrassment power tool. simple as that. continuing to use his harrassment machine is an endorsement if his views on women
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

This photo is Canadians fighting the Nazis in the Battle of Britain.
We were a poor country of 11 million people. We built the 4th largest air force and navy in the world.
When the Brits were being evacuated at Dunkirk we were already defending her shores.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

Based on what we have seen over the past year, it’s a pretty good bet that Donald Trump, Jr is about to become affiliated with a startup venture related to exploiting oil resources in Venezuela, where he will do nothing and know nothing while profiting substantially.
