Looks like Tom and Daisy carelessly drove their Rolls into the atrium. Christ, what assholes.

The sea is like a woman. She covers 72% of the earth's surface, is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, and can crush submarines.

One year ago, Trump was seen walking around atop the White House roof.

I feel like I’m in a 70s dystopian sci-fi movie, and they’re about to bring me the Black Pill to gently euthanize me because I’m over 30.

IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?

This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

Caped Crusader is...not that great. I was interested in seeing original recipe Batman with his wrinkly cuffed gloves (not purple, sadly), and I always like re-imaginings of old characters... But it looks too much like Batman: TAS. Also, it's the return of the dickish Batman of the 80s.

If he wasn't a Kennedy...well, he'd probably be dead long ago. Love how, at the beginning he's essentially saying, "you just repeat things people have told you and tell people to [air quotes]trust the experts [air quotes] when you should just repeat the BS I tell you!"

Nobody hates jewel thieves more than animated Batman.

I still think this, though it’s borne itself out with several male “working class” dudes.

This is good advice for anyone. If a person or situation seems off leave. I once had a doctor's appointment and when he came in I could tell he was upset and agitated. Did I leave? No. Did I have to repeat a painful medical procedure because the first doctor fucked up? Yes. Be smarter than me.

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

Today I learned that Cai Lun came up with the idea of adding tree pulp and hemp to make paper easier to mass produce. He was also a politically powerful eunuch.

Whoops, almost slipped my mind: Any authors, publishers, bookstores, or literary events happening in August? FYI: I've got your info @tuesdayfunk.bsky.social and @zineclubchicago.bsky.social!

Do right-wing people ever say, "I should just vote for the Democrat, because the Republicans and Dems are exactly the same"?

My girl is a big Tom Waits fan but has only ever heard his serious and sad stuff, so I played her "Step Right Up" and succeeded in making her bend over laughing so hard I was afraid she was going to throw up. Winner! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTdS...

They’d never say it, but many uncreative folks resent having to pay creatives to create. Now they think they have a magic box that creates for them…and they’ll swiftly learn their vague prompts—which a human artist can eventually figure out—just turn out slightly worse iterations each time.

I usually only hear about guys like this when they whine about being discriminated against. Then I look them up and their Wiki says something like “Bob Rightwinger loves him some fascism, genocide, sexual assault, graft, and etc.”
