Comic panel showing a donkey and an elephant, representing the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively. In the first panel, the elephant nudges a vase. The second panel shows the vase shattering. In the third panel, the donkey says, "You broke that vase!” The elephant says, “Yep. What are you going to do to fix it?" The fourth panel shows the donkey saying, “Me?” The elephant says, "That's right. I want to hear a detailed plan from you." The fifth panel shows the donkey saying, "I don't know. It probably can't be fixed, now." The sixth panel shows the elephant saying, "Then you're a party with no ideas and no one should ever support you." The seventh panel shows the donkey saying, "But you broke it!!" The eighth panel shows the elephant saying, "Making messes nobody knows how to fix is such great politics." The comic is signed "L Simpson" and includes the URL "www.idrewthis.org".

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Edith Clarke, the first female electrical engineer in the US, invented a calculator (the Clarke calculator) to solve electric power transmission problems, a precursor to modern smart grid technology. It was patented in 1925. #WomenInSTEM

It's International Day of #CleanEnergy!
Sepia-toned vintage portrait photograph of Edith Clarke (1883–1959), the pioneering American electrical engineer, inventor of the Clarke Calculator (a graphical tool for solving power transmission problems), and the first woman to earn a master's degree in electrical engineering from MIT. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view against a dark, neutral background, gazing directly at the camera with a composed, intelligent expression. Clarke has distinctive curly hair neatly styled, and she wears thin, round pince-nez glasses perched on her nose with a thin bridge and side arms. She is dressed in a formal dark blouse or jacket. The classic early-to-mid-20th-century studio portrait style conveys her trailblazing role in electrical engineering and power systems innovation. #EdithClarke #WomenInEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #ClarkeCalculator #InventorsHallOfFame #MIT #MITAlum #PowerSystems

Biophysicist & inventor Dr. Maria Telkes (the Sun Queen) was a pioneer in solar energy research & considered a founder of solar thermal storage systems. She developed the 1st solar-powered home heating system & a solar-powered desalination kit. #WomenInSTEM

It's International Day of #CleanEnergy! ☀️
Black-and-white historical photograph of Dr. Maria Telkes, the Hungarian-American biophysicist and solar energy pioneer known as the "Sun Queen." She is seated indoors in a laboratory or office setting, smiling warmly with a friendly, confident expression. Dr. Telkes has short, wavy hair styled in soft curls, and she wears a light-colored lab coat over a patterned blouse or dress. Her hands are resting on a table or desk in front of her. Behind her is a plain paneled wall with partially visible art hanging on the wall. The image captures her in mid-to-late career, conveying intelligence, approachability, and dedication to her groundbreaking work in solar energy research. #MariaTelkes #SunQueen #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #WomenInScience #Inventors

The party of pro life murders innocent people

The party of the 2 Amendment says I can not legally carry my firearm to a protest

Do I have that right?

Kash Patel this Sunday: “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want."
Screenshot of an X.com post by Climate Defiance (@ClimateDefiance) reading, “Patricia and Mark McCloskey brought weapons to a protest. They were honored as keynote speakers at the 2020 RNC.” Below is a photo of a man holding a rifle and a woman aiming a handgun, standing outside near a light-colored building.

it's informative how many people I know who used to at least be willing to hedge a bit with "well, Republicans are people too and maybe we can win them over" have very much stopped doing that over the last year

this should worry the Republicans

It’s really interesting how much the entire decade of the Trump era has taught me to absolutely fucking hate all Republicans. If you think you hate Republicans, I assure you you don’t fucking hate them enough.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking somewhere, and Green is in a bad mood. Green: I hate wind. How it pulls and pushes and tugs me. And I hate the cold. A draft straight to my bone marrow! The air's too dry! A bird is singing! An unseen bird sings one clear, beautiful simple note, and Green turns to look up to it in anger. Blue looks at Green calmly. Green: Shut up! Blue: You need a soda. Drinking a beverage with a straw, Green is immediately mollified. Green: I'm sorry for getting on your nerves all day. Blue: I've been fine the whole day.

IT Dance - Gator Days
IT Dance - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August is at the office and looking at a computer that's being difficult. It can't seem to connect to the network. The screen says "ERROR No connection So alone". Poor computer. August tried the usual fixes but the problem isn't obvious. He's begun searching for answers on his phone with a search engine called "searchle". August: This might take a while to fix. Robin: Okay, let me know when it's- Panel 2 Robin has noticed that August is searching online for solutions. Why did he even bring IT into this when he could have done that himself? Robin: Wait, you're just looking up how to fix it on your phone! I could have done that. August: You still can do that. Panel 3 Robin looks to the side and contemplates the situation. August wouldn't mind being able to skip this task but is also aware not everyone knows the right thing to search for and he will probably still have to do it in the end. Panel 4 Robin has decided to stop questioning things and take this as an opportunity to get some coffee. This moment is a gift. August is unbothered, he would probably do the same thing. Robin: I'm going to get some coffee. You want anything? August: No thanks.

How many years have we been watching gun nuts open carry semiautomatic rifles into, like, a Dunkin' Donuts as a statement against government control? And they're now silent over a citizen being murdered by federal agents and then blamed for legally carrying a firearm?
