Still an ancient astronaut theorist. What can I say, I love my job.
A Palestinian father has opened an indoor play centre in Gaza to give children a sense of normality as they continue to endure near-daily Israeli attacks, with free entry for families who cannot afford to pay.
wild that nobody is giving the mayor (Brandon Johnson) credit for this. If it was Rahm there would be a 60 minutes profile on how Rahm was the savior of Chicago
There were 37 homicides in the city last month, the lowest total for any such month dating back to at least 1970. That total is down 18% compared to July 2025, and is less than half the totals of July 2020 and 2021, which each saw more than 100 killings.

If you want a perfect capsule to demonstrate how completely divorced from reality the broligarchs and their toadies are, look only to the fact that someone thought a winning strategy is to bring a disgraced one-term NYC mayor to Wisconsin to sell angry residents a data center lol
A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.
There is no time like a summer weekend to find new, amazing things to do with watermelon, in this case, freezing it in cubes and blending it with lime juice, rum, and mint for the best frozen mojito I've ever had. smittenkitchen.com/2019/07/froz...

I’m showing my age here, but when I’m buying weapons grade plutonium that’s more of a “on the computer” purchase. It feels weird buying it on my phone!

Thanks, gang. Appreciate it. I love it when you buy my comics, but if you’re not the comics-reading type and just wanna cover the groceries instead, I’m not gonna say no. :V Link’s still good, by the way! 
BTW, gonna re-link this cuz it always seems like there's someone who's hearing about it for the 1st time: Weee! is a VERY fast, mail-order Asian grocery site. It can be ridiculously cheap (got 5 .lb of potatoes for $1.99 last go), I love it. Here's a referral code. www.sayweee.com/en/account/r...
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

My books are artfully haphazard all over my apartment. They make me feel cozy.
Enough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?
There’s an even more sinister angle to Johnny Depp’s ongoing “comeback” tour as the new Scrooge—it’s a Paramount production and part of a slate of Ellison-backed conservative cultural takeover attempts. It’s angled around MeToo rejection and the manosphere. spitfirenews.com/p/johnny-dep...
Johnny Depp's 'comeback' is billionaire manosphere marketing

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones
