not sure it’s in good taste for Siri to use this image, but they do both look like Elliot Smith
it's only possible bc their constituency populations are so strong but i genuinely think the UK does it right by not announcing any results until they've counted everything
Anchorage Man@sethpartnow.bsky.social · 17h agoRegardless of how it turns out NO HE DIDN’T. It’s like saying I have more fingers on my left hand after counting 8 digits from left to right with a ring finger and a pinky still to report.
i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten
No matter how it turns out, I think it’s clear that “election that seems good but then slowly gets worse as the night goes on” is far more unbearable than “election that is bad the whole night”
If you’re at line to use the wrong preposition in a common phrase, STAY AT LINE
If you’re in line for reality to disappoint you, STAY IN LINE
In the end those “Haley Spend It Now” commercials were too powerful for her to overcome
How do we as a society manage to reset the norms around “you should never ever ever listen to your fucking phone on speaker in public” without messing up the equally important norm of “you should not police the behavior of strangers”? Or am I overcommitted to the latter
In 2023 while in NOLA, a Lyft Driver and I had a conversation about leaving home. It led to him telling me about his terminal diagnosis. “An editor told me once that if you want to understand a war, interview the grave diggers. I’d add that if you want to understand a city, interview the drivers.”

In all seriousness they should just remake the twilight movies but with current day Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
Sam Lloyd@llamsoyd.bsky.social · last wk.there should be a movie where Robert Pattinson plays a vampire
the corruption number here makes me want to turn into the joker and then, as the joker, turn into a significantly more unhinged joker

They say parenting is a thankless job but when we’re on a plane and my son doesn’t want a snack and I ask for a stroopwafel for him and then I get two stroopwafels, that‘s kind of all the thanks I need
When you’re texting and they go from heart reacts to thumbs up reacts and you’re like “damn are we still cool?”
I like to see a movie and be like “whoa that ruled!” and then read smart people talking about it, perhaps critically, and be like “whoa that’s a good point!” and then go like make a sandwich or go for a run or something
I bet if he knew who’d been spreading those unfounded rumors about Carrabba’s shooting customers he’d be whistling a different tune

The best root beer is Boylan’s. Virgil’s is great tries a little too hard, the big commercial brands don’t try hard enough, and the ones that try to make it too root-y are missing the point
Over a year ago, a Dutch frog science magazine emailed me asking if they could include my comic in their upcoming issue about dart frogs. They were interviewing the scientist who first described the blue poison dart frog; he had seen and liked the comic. They mailed me a copy, which just arrived:
One thing that has changed since I was a kid is that old people used to have much better manners than young people. Now if the guy behind you on the airplane is playing phone games with the sound on, odds are good he’s in his sixties.
Overheard someone hiss into their phone, “I realize that, but I cannot miss Theodore’s bassoon recital,” and now I have a new catch-all excuse
As good as the film itself was, I still can’t believe the marketing department went with “Odyssey-ing is Ody-believing” for a tagline
