After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

I just watched my alma mater USF play a tedious, interminable football game and am trying to decide if I’m feeling masochistic enough to also watch the rest of that baseball game everyone seems to hating right now.

New ICE propaganda just dropped:

Poster for the 1988 B-movie Hell Comes to Frogtown, starring Rowdy Roddy Piper and Sandahl Bergman.
Image: In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, an armed couple and a shackled woman face off against menacing human-sized frogs. Text at the bottom of the poster reads: “A new breed of enemy has taken over the world… Sam Hell has come to take it back.”

It's really sad how the violence is so pervasive in Portland that they don't even try to bury the war dead.

Around Portland today... someone takes their Halloween extra serious. (sorry for overposting today).

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Look, if you never got an A on a paper comparing the poetry of Romantic poets that you wrote hungover the same morning it was due, did you even get an English degree?

Dane 🔜 NYCC AA L-34 @monkeyminion.com · 2d

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Froggie vs. ICE: The asymmetrical symbol of a failing authoritarian state.

You’ve seen the video.
An inflatable frog at a Portland protest.
Unarmed. Unbothered. Unapologetically absurd.
And ICE panics.

They fire pepper spray up a frog caricature's ass.

The frog wins.

My great-grandmother’s ex-husband went a little crazy in his later years, became a hermit, and devoted himself to strange experiments in his backyard orchard. Every time I hear about a weird apple from Oregon, I like to think it’s one of his.

A few years ago I went on a road trip up to Oregon and came home with like four coolers full of cheese from different shops in the Tillamook area. I may actually still have some hidden in the bottom of my fridge. Goddamn cheesemongers.

Altered Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

First panel. Calvin's dad says, "what story would you like to read tonight? Anything except..."

Calvin: "The Voynich Manuscript?"

Second panel. Calvin's dad, exasperated: "No! No Voynich Manuscript tonight!"

Calvin: "I want the Voynich Manuscript !"

Third panel. Calvin's sad: "Look, you know how the story goes! You've memorized the whole thing! It's completely unreadable!"

Calvin: "I want mysterious glyphs and symbols!"

Fourth panel. Calvin: "Wow! The story was different thatvtime!"
