With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Holyshit, Mamdani's gonna save opera.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3d ago

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

Monday is the final order cutoff for Archie in Hell #1. By me, @patrickhorvath.bsky.social and @francescosegala.bsky.social. I think this is going to be a really fun book. If you visit your local comic shop this weekend, ask the proprietor you get your copy ordered!

Don't tell me what to do

Room empties out at the UN as Netanyahu begins his speech.

the "don't bring iced coffee to an interview" discourse is great bc it's such a succinct and clarifying example of how private businesses aren't efficient & logical enterprises, they're just arbitrary in-groups ruled by sociopaths, power tripping on their ability to enforce pointless bullshit norms

We wanted to understand how the next generation mRNA shots might be used to treat cancer. So we talked to three trad wife influencers at a Sodalicious in Pleasant Grove.

THE DESTRUCTION OF PALESTINE IS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH by Andreas Malm A short, fast, incredible read. Has reformatted and reframed my understanding of zionism and Palestine. Surface criticisms I held about zionism have been replaced by far, far more profound ones.

Name the current book you're reading.

Unboxing IS TED OK? Book looks AMAZING!!! (Yes I know it’s not technically a graphic novel. Whatever, it’s for social media, you will be ok ❤️)

I love Sophie's women so much.

God bless this post. I am 55 as well.

Melissa Combs@melissacombs.bsky.social · 4d ago

Being in your 50s is confusing. On paper, I’m 55. At a concert, I’m 24. After 8/9 PM, I’m 88. Getting up off the floor makes me 115. But when the'80s music starts playing, I’m 17 all over again.

Every time someone mentions the new RESIDENT EVIL movie in the same breath as EVIL DEAD II my fucking head explodes. RE is void of any emotional authenticity or originality, EDII has more originality & authenticity in a single second of Ash's madness/cope than all of Cregger's films combined.

Picking it up!

The full collection of Toxic Crusaders is out today! This is a weird, violent, gross revival of the Crusaders written by me and drawn by the incredible @tristanwright.bsky.social. Look at these pages!

Two great tastes that go well together: Moomin and tower-tunnel. By Paul Antoine Takahashi on instagram.

I mean they also completely changed the Asian woman's features to be more in line with white beauty standards which I find even more egregious & offensive. She's a real person and they literally changed her face!

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Artist People: We always give this advice, but some apparently need to hear it again... Your portfolio MUST HAVE INTERIORS. ACTUAL COMIC PAGES AND NOT JUST PINUPS? Never done a paid comic interior before? Whelp... no one paid you to do those pinups either. Make a short story by yourself.

We can’t allow this man to get within striking distance of a viable presidential candidacy.

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

Saw that new RESIDENT EVIL movie the kids are talking about. HORROR MOVIES FOR NORMIES ARE BACK, BABY! (sucks)

Louise as Lulu eyes the prosecutor charging her with murder in a still from Pandora’s Box (1929).

Yea dude no shit that’s why it mostly works. Those are load bearing furries.
