I always liked this little quirk of Farrah's powers. It's one of the fun tweaks EAH had with the fairy tales. #EverAfterHigh

Optimus Prime's appearance at the end of GIJOE #140 is extremely funny to me, because the penciler (Chris Batista) definitely knows "what Optimus Prime looks like" while the colorist definitely doesn't.

Shocking battle footage from war-ravaged Portland, as the
Portland Frog Suit Guy shakes his amphibian antifa butt at ICE officers in a most warlike manner. Domestic terror!

(Also he says in the video that he's fine after some ICEhole maced his suit's air vent the other day)

Video screenshot: Guy in an inflatable cartoony frog suit waves his butt at ICE agents in full battle gear in front of the ICE detention facility in Portland, while the cops fire gas rounds at the ground near protesters the entrance. At least not at anyone's head, this time.

🎵And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn't let me in🎵

senator fetterman realizes helping trump at every turn is his best chance to play the role he was made for, vile ogre chained up in a warlord's throne room who gets thrown prisoners to devour

Republican Senators, with an assist from Sen. John Fetterman, voted down an attempt to block the Trump administration’s missile strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats. interc.pt/4o9CBur

A photo of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., sits on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 1, 2025, in Washington, overlaid with the headline, "Fetterman Is Sole Democrat to Vote Against Blocking Caribbean Drug Boat Attacks," and the DEK, "It was the first time members of Congress were put on record about whether they supported or opposed the president’s war in the Caribbean."

You know what WAS an insurrection?!

When a bunch of fucking MAGA assholes stormed the capital building to overturn the results of an election cause cry baby Orange Hitler couldn't accept the fact that he fucking lost!

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 9h

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
