Lukewarm take: It's OK to criticize Democrats when they do or say something really stupid or corrupt.

You know, the one with the lone guy standing up to speak at a meeting.

VOTED YES ON 50!

Sure, it's petty. But playing fair and nice under these circumstances will get our butts kicked.

i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"

We already have an electrical grid, while H2 requires totally new distribution infrastructure. Green hydrogen uses 3x more energy than electrification - inherently pricier. If CA has to go it alone on zero-emissions rail, we should be going with the most efficient, proven technology.

Trump is trying to cancel California's hydrogen hub funding, threatening a continued reliance on fossil hydrogen and/or H2 fuel shortages. Should we really be running H2 trains on the Surfliner that require Trump's largess for their fuel supply chains? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Somebody in the comments section figured it out.

It's supposed to be "nails on a chalkboard"

I feel dumb, but comic strips shouldn't require crowdsourcing on a workday.

I think maybe it had something to do with the bag on the chalkboard?

It’s all a mess, and I should probably stop trying to

I was hoping the Curmudgeon @jfruh.bsky.social would notice today's Wizard of Id.
There's bad, and then there's "It doesn't make any sense."

My mother saw it in her newspaper this morning, and she showed it to me. And now I can't figure it out either.

What do you get when you combine folk singers The Kingston Trio, YouTuber Vannamelon (who is currently moving from California to New England), and a transit fan on allergy medication?

Our domestic kitchen cabinet/ bathroom vanities industry must be protected for NATIONAL SECURITY!!!!

Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.
We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale “FLOODING” of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Today's Catch-22 comes to us from the Big Island of Hawaii, where roughly half the local population gets impatient at visitors for driving the speed limit (or even above it).
Like the guy who went around us only to get stuck behind a truck.

The other half seems to be manning downhill speedtraps.

Charlie Kirk literally said Palestine does not exist, that most women who say they’re being raped are lying, and that gun deaths are a price worth paying for uncontrolled gun ownership and that he proposes having *fewer* gun laws.

And this is the “Financial” Times front page on their home page.

When I see all of the liberal Democrats mourning the death of Charlie Kirk, I hope that he can look up at us and smile.
