Okay, you get to write ONE dream comic mini-series, featuring characters you did not create.

What character would you pick, and who would draw it?

NPR fights Trump's executive order against public media

The case isn't getting much attention.

But it pits the press's right not to face government retaliation over coverage against the president's assertion of vast executive powers

My story:

I am still floating after last night's @pwhltorrent.bsky.social win at CPA.

The crowd was electric, the chants were loud, Hannah Murphy was so much fun to watch, and those last few minutes were crazy exciting.

I'm SO happy we've got this team here in Seattle. I cannot WAIT for more games!

Honestly "Don't Engage, Just Block" has transformed my social media experience so profoundly that it's hard for me to describe. It's just so much better to be online now.
i also liked the fact that most of us who had come from the other site had the mentality of not giving "bad actors" the benefit of the doubt on here , and told all to block, not mute, an move on

40 years ago, the first comic of Calvin and Hobbes was published… setting off decades of children being inspired to be cartoonists.

Bill should be ashamed of himself. My god. Look at all those cartoonists just out and about now. Gross.

I'm sorry, what /exactly/ did A-A-Ron do DEFENSIVELY that earned him MVP over the best catcher the game has seen in over a generation?

I'm frustrated. Just call it the "Offensive Player of the Year Award" instead of MVP, because this is straight bullshit.

"I just spoke to mayor-elect Katie Wilson to congratulate her on a hard-fought victory," Harrell said. "I let her know my team is standing by [for transition]. It was a very delightful conversation."
