A panel from a Spider-Man comic.

Harry Osborne, Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy are sitting around a campfire roasting hot dogs.

Peter: "Oh look, three dead seagulls from New Jersey washing in. You can always tell they're from Jersey because of the look of relief on their faces right before they died."

Mary Jane and Gwen: "PETER!"

A promotional still from the movie Napoleon Dynamite; the character Napoleon sits on a suede couch with his arm laid across the top of the back rest. His shirt reads "Vote for Pedro".

This image has been manipulated: JD Vance's face has been pasted over Napoleon's face and the shirt now reads "Vote for Pedo".

And then the Ant-Man movies ran with that misinterpretation as well. Really annoying stuff.

The same way every other fascist regime did:

stoking the flames of every societal phobia imaginable, manufacturing a problem out of nothing and then insisting that they were the divinely chosen ones to solve it.

Rejecting the truth for their narrative and tacky fashion always goes along with it.

Meet Gregory Bovino, the guy running ICE out of Chicago.

You literally cannot make this shit up.

A photo of Gregory Bovino. He is wearing a long black military style coat over a black uniform. The style is reminiscent of a Nazi SS uniform.

I don't believe in that stuff myself, but if Trump is losing sleep over the prospect of burning, gnashing his teeth and wailing in fiery, agonizing torment as a maggot in the outer darkness of Hell for all eternity... I love that for him.

I hope he never sleeps well again.

So Cheeto Mussolini is wondering if he's going to get into Heaven, eh?

Here's my take: I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and I know the kind of afterlife Trump has been sold... which means he's worried about the alternative to Heaven.

POV: you've committed the perfect crime, disposed of the weapon and and hidden the body, but now you arrive back at your pasture to find you are well and truly fucked.

Detective Columbo stands behind a wooden table with two irregular cow tools in it. He holds a 3rd cow tool and looks at it with his other hand scratching his head. He says, "Gee these tools are really something, aren't they? Y'know, my wife, she says they lack sophistication. But I just think that adds to the charm... Say... Don't they usually come in a set of four?"

Caption below the panel reads, "Cowlumbo tools."

Like on an intellectual level I recognize that I was hella messed up by airborne chemicals from burning things that should never have been burnt, along with a massive, months-long bombardment by radiation from the MUX antennas, but being sweaty 24/7 is FREAKING BULL PLOP

Oh my God.

a young boy is making a funny face and says `` we 're not gonna make it , are we ? ''

Alt: A clip from the movie Terminator 2. John Connor (played by Edward Furlong) looks contemplatively into the middle distance and muses, "We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean."

My daughter has picked up the habit of teasing me about my increasingly tall forehead, but the first time she noticed the white streaks in my hair she almost started crying and tried to manually wipe it off of my head with her hands.

"The person who got the Nobel Prize called... 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you deserved it.' A nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me.' I think she might've though, she was very nice"

Trump's definition of nice has ALWAYS meant "giving me things I don't deserve or earn."
