Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

we have an inexpensive thing in our house right now that makes other little useful things and yet everyone’s boss isn’t demanding everyone get 3D printers - curious!!

Laruna Softpaw @larunasoftpaw.bsky.social · 12h

Speaking of, why didn't 3D printers get this much attention? It's something that's actually really cool that has practical applications. Is it because they're too cool and useful? Is it because it's harder to scam people with them?

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.

John Belushi's talentless brother once screamed at me b/c the current had carried me onto his private beach in Massachusetts.

Rode a wave, I look up and there he is, screaming at me.

I was like 14, was honestly very confused. Scampered away from him.

The Hamptons have some of the best beaches in the world. Just look at a map: a thousand miles of free, clear ocean for the Gulf Steam to run up, giving you warm and clean water on beautiful sand. If you're not a billionaire you can only experience them at one hotel that's $1,000/ night in the summer

You don't become an artist who's any good if you don't love the work itself. Even the parts that are a struggle.

What we don't love is the marketing, promo, admin, etc. When you start, you don't think you're signing up to be a wildly underpaid arts admin, but 80% of professional art time is this.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 1d

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

The American right might have power but they will never know ball or be cool. They make no lasting art, fear beautiful cities like Chicago and LA, and don’t even like sports. They have no vision but domination and death. Losers!

I really believe Trump has convinced himself that winning a Nobel Peace prize will get him into heaven. In his bizarre Jimmy Saville delusions, he thinks getting this humanitarian award will somehow make up for his decades of human rights abuses.
