Currently working on comic Meat and Jeff, an odd couple comic strip where one dude dies, but just keeps on going as both a ghost and a zombie.

There are few things that make me feel more like an old man than accidentally referring to Ke'Bryan Hayes as Charlie in my head.

The way that I look at it is, what does anyone get by giving their unqualified support for a candidate in July? It probably won't mean anything, but there is at least the hope that someone hears the message, "people are really pissed off and if you don't change, you're going to lose this election."

This is the interesting twist in my conversations with Trump voters. They talk to me as if I support Biden in any meaningful way. No, fuck that guy, but fuck your guy infinitely more.

I love the thing where I have a little money I am completely free to spend on myself however I like (birthday) and immediately achieve a state where I never want anything ever again.

I feel this way, but about 90s - 00s Rom-Coms that made me think that I was interested in all that stuff.

I wish the choices weren't between completely upending my entire life and being 8 years into this madness still trying to get people in my life to see reason. That would do a lot for my stress level.

The screenshot downthread in the comments was so much worse than anything in the article. It's like there is nothing related to that person that would surprise me, but holy fuck.

It's like, literally all you people pretend to care about sex trafficking, pedophilia, abortion, and policing gay people... how does this story not even register for you?

One of those stories that you want to share with... certain... people, but you don't think you could handle how quickly they would entirely dismiss it.

I think we, the little people, should construct a list of all the people who need to die in order for us to have a shot at a better world. The rich may also construct a list, and we can just see which one of them is more doable.

This is one of those pieces of information that I wish I didn't know because it doesn't actually change how I use it, but I now think about it every single time I do.

You ever feel like the cat on the Hang in There poster... and you can see someone rushing over with a ladder to help you, so you keep hanging on... then that person spontaneously bursts into flames, and now what the heck are you going to do... ? So, yeah...

It is incumbent on our current sitting president to commit a wide range of crimes of varying degree and nature, so that we can calibrate reality to what the court just did.

Not to set the Internet ablaze or anything, but I just laid out the panels for what I intend to make into a new Mister Worf's Neighborhood comic strip. (I have thus far drawn two rectangles)

Just saw a reference to Gunpowder River Psychiatry, but my eye skipped over the word river and I was about to be kind of annoyed about what OTHER people's health insurance covers.

They should consider imitating that episode where George does the opposite of his every impulse.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

Yeah, just came out yesterday. Only two episodes in, but feels like it's gearing up for something pretty epic.

TBF, the President has always had an infinite number of public murders at his fingertips. It has yet to be established how many secret ones they get.

The problem with this is that it would take someone with authority to hold to account the illegitimacy of the Supreme Court and until that successfully happens (which it won't) they may be irredeemably corrupt, but they are still entirely legitimate.

People need to stop talking about the Pirates trading for Vlad Guerrero Jr. It would make me too happy and it is so not going to happen.

Reminds me of all of the enthusiastic nothing that was proposed back in the Trump years. You can tell when Dems are really losing, they start trying to look like they're actually attempting to do something.

There was that conversation when all of these new platforms launched about which one would be the "new twitter" and Threads is that in the worst way. It's freaking awful.

I'm particularly upset when they do that with shows aimed at kids. The whole idea is taking something that people have loved for decades and giving those people a way to share it with their kids... and you thought people wouldn't get angry?

They did that whole "Home of Star Trek" "All of Star Trek in one place" thing then tried to play that game with a Star Trek property. It boggles the mind.

I feel like this message could be easily corrected by putting a comma after Joe Biden, so that it becomes a letter addressing him.
