and we come then to my personal pride and joy; a very large sprite, with an absurd amount of detail, that still to this day sits above my desk

Bluesky literally caved to right wingers harassing them to ban people saying “rest in piss Charlie Kirk”

Stop trying to gaslight us, Jay.

You literally changed the TOS to allow Jesse Singal to stay despite violating them.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

A few days after this cartoon was published, my syndicate received a very indignant letter from someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute.
Not only did my syndicate and I both get read the Riot Act, there was a vague implication that litigation over this cartoon might be around the corner.
I was horrified. Not so much from a fear of being sued (I just couldn't see how this cartoon could be construed as anything but silly, but because of my deep respect for Jane Goodall and her well-known contributions to pri-matology. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way.
Before I had a chance to write my apology, another complication arose.
The National Geographic Society contacted my syndicate and expressed a

desire to reprint the cartoon in a special centennial issue of their magazine. My editor, aware of what had just occurred, declined, explaining why.
Apparently, whoever it was that sent the inquiry from National Geographic was shocked. They told my editor that "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They did some checking themselves, and an interesting fact was eventually discovered: Jane Goodall loved the cartoon. Furthermore, she was totally unaware that any of this "stuff" was going on. Some phone calls were made, and the cartoon was not only reprinted in the centennial issue of National Geographic, but was also used by her Institute on a T-shirt for fund-raising purposes.
I've since had an opportunity to visit Dr. Goodall at her research facility in Gombe. It's a wonderful place (sort of like right out of National Geographic).
"To refer to Dr. Goodall as a tramp is inexcusable even by a self-described 'loony' as Larson. The cartoon was incredibly offensive and in such poor taste that readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying news to persons with a better than average intelligence. The cartoon and its message were absolutely stupid." —Excerpt from the above-mentioned letter that started the ruckus

here’s how the rest of the #Eeveelutions react to bathtime… 🛁🫧✨

How Eevee and its evolutions (except Sylveon, as she was drawn in the post this one is quoting) react to being bathed. Pokemon, drawing description, and image text in brackets:

Vaporeon: wagging its tail happily in a shower cubicle (Needs no second bidding. Removing them from the shower is harder)

Jolteon: looking sidelong at the viewer with narrowed eyes (You know better than to shower an Electric type.)

Flareon: rolling contentedly in a sand pit (Fluffy fire type gets a sand bath instead!)

Eevee: being held in one hand, rinsed with the other, with big sad eyes and question marks (Too liddol to comprehend or rebel. Feeling a bit betrayed tbh)

Espeon: Peering out of a crack in a cupboard (Uses Psychic powers to choose best hiding spots until you give up)

Umbreon: Hissing wild eyed, clinging to shower curtains, with gloved hands attempting to reach (Acrobatics, unholy screeching, etc. Protective gear recommended)

Leafeon: sitting under the shower happily, eyes closed and tongue outstretched to catch the water (Calmest Eeveelution in the bath. Plant likes being watered!)

Glaceon: Standing somewhat tensely under the shower in silence (Tolerates it, but might be plotting revenge)

What movie do you consider perfect?

Hands down, Kiki's Delivery Service. More than Princess Mononoke, more than My Neighbor Totoro, more than Howl's Moving Castle -- all of which are also among my favourite movies.

I could write a whole essay on how Kiki influences me even today 🐈‍⬛🧹
