![[Black & white image of a dour-looking publishing executive (natty suit, bow-tie) in a book-lined office. His desk is stacked with papers and wire baskets full of more papers. He is speaking with an unseen superior.]
Unseen Superior: Good idea you had, Harkins, getting the estate of Alex Comfort to lend his name to a cook-book. "The Joy of Comfort Food" is our number one seller in the Asian market.
Harkins: Thank you, sir. For the translation, I used a very cunning linguist.
US: Ah-heh. Of course, the section on Tossed Salad means Walmart won't stock it ....
Harkins: Not to worry. We'll make up the difference with a holiday-themed trade paperback of attention-getting appetizers. How do you like the title, "Grab 'Em by the Paté"?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buke6ob4tlr7yxhplfp436kc/bafkreiflsxutcbpo3o7n3z44aho3bq43wrm63tio2jyafgoloiu67mkrbi@jpeg)

when my ancestors ground their bones to dust toiling in farms and factories in the hopes that their descendants might someday claw their way up to bask in the light of literacy, I don't think they ever dreamed I would use that gift to read this particular combination of words

Balthazar: Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Baby Jesus: Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
"The First Oh Well, (Pt. 1)"

Bogart: Hey, whay aren't you two dressed for the safari? We're heading out in ten minutes.
Gerald: We thought we'd give it a miss today. Charlotte isn't, ah, quite feeling herself.
Bogart: Well, I can't say I'm surprised, considering the dent she put in our gin supply last night.
Charlotte: Now see here--*OW!* Gerald, it ... it hurts when I speak.
Bogart: Now you know how the rest of us feel. Y'know, "staying hydrated" isn't just a fancy way of saying "poach your livers in ethanol."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buke6ob4tlr7yxhplfp436kc/bafkreibr3wb33giwxdzw2z7zf53gyyuhx7ezocyc6sbydma6upad6tfdhi@jpeg)

5/5 Trump should be nowhere near these talks.
The US stopped funding Ukraine. Europe must lead.
Trump and Putin cannot decide Europe’s and Ukraine’s fate. Trump is compromised

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

Imagine the look on CEOs' faces when it dawns on them that the same technology that makes corporations no longer need employees makes customers no longer need corporations.

#FumettiFriday ... or, as it's known, the "left-over turkey sandwich" of internet humor.
![[Black and white image of a handsome young couple who, for purposes of this feeble wheeze, seem to have just been joined in matrimony by a sort of religious figure: short, dressed in black, and with a shock of white hair. They're all shaking hands; the male half of the couple has a large wad of cash peeking out from his fist.]
Guy: We're grateful to you for performing the wedding on such short notice, Reverend.
Gal: We'd ask you to the reception, but we're not *having* one since we have to leave in kind of a hurry. Isn't that right, *Harold?*
Guy: You're making trouble again, Phoebe.
Reverend: Don't give it another thought, my children. And, uh, keep your money. It's probably coated with a fine dusting of cocaine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buke6ob4tlr7yxhplfp436kc/bafkreihnwvuu34ufzts2a5ayo6hf3xizdzgvee4gxkurjll6og64jfi3pm@jpeg)

"Do You Understand Your Rights As I've Explained Them to You, Charlie Brown?"
![[Black and white image of a tense family scene in an elegantly appointed drawing room, circa 1902. An elderly old man is recoiling from a small glass of goodness-only-knows-what being offered (at arm's length) by his daughter. Behind the old man, a man claiming to be a physician clasps a too-familiar arm around his shoulders; next to him, the son stands holding his top hat and looking grim. He speaks:]
Son: Come on, dad, drink it down. Doc says it's the only thing standing between you and involuntary commitment.
Doctor: Don't worry, Mr. Silvestri. This new concoction has been thoroughly tested. There are only a few noticeable side effects, and, uh, would you mind filling out this waiver? It's purely a formaldehy-- I mean, *formality.*
Daughter: Don't make me get out the funnel and bungee cords, father. 'Cause you know I will.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buke6ob4tlr7yxhplfp436kc/bafkreiaeea3tm3kmxg44g2wh6dkrtixpbokmiwyn2hycfh2g6ogg4rjztu@jpeg)
