Quite the balls on whoever over @ridemcts.bsky.social reintroduced the “Respect is a two-way street” harangue with “pay your fare” after the new 2026 fare schedule with 150+% daily fare max just dropped. Incredible how we wait and wait for a single vehicle in that other lane of the two-way street.

Live look in Meta’s garage:
Homer’s half finished robot pleads, “Father, give me legs”… just like Zuck’s Meta children. “Homer the Moe”, The Simpsons, Season 13, Episode 3.

Last year during the convention when we all had to endure Milwaukee’s downtown being a security zone, their downtown store windows had this. I appreciate them because most of our notable WI wealthy business types are Uihleins, Menards, Diane Hendricks, Ron Johnson, etc.

Plus, good quality spices.
A poster in the windows of the downtown Milwaukee Penzey’s on July 13, 2024, reads, “Welcome Future FAKE Electors :)” reminding the reader of Wisconsin’s Republican 2020 fraudulent electoral college electors who committed once of the rarest forms of voter fraud - electoral college elector fraud - when they gathered in Wisconsin Capitol building in December 2020 with the help of now Rep. Scott Fitzgerald who’s office helped them secure a room in the building to cast a fraudulent slate for Donald Trump. The crime is currently unpunished.

Maybe be needs to demand to be taken REALLY seriously…
A still from the show, Arrested Development showing GOB Bluth standing in front of the Magicians Alliance, a Mötley assortment of stage magicians in various outlandish costumes, capes, and pointed hats, holding a sign reading “We Demand To Be Taken Seriously“ but with Pete Hegseth super imposed over GOB.

In a parody of a scene from The Simpsons, Season 7 / Episode 2, "Radioactive Man" at 18:19, Bart faces us but turns his eyes back to Dr. S who has turned to address Bart as he remains hunched over his drafting table at the Spirograph factory, and says the text of the cited post, “You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?”

American Midnight was gripping.
The cover of American Midnight with photos.

MYSTies everywhere are disappointed that a Minnesotan had an entire list of serviceable, overly manly names for these operations and chose none.

I hope they get Smokin’ Joe Frazier to present the award.
Mr Burns sits in his red office chair with a concerned look on his face as he improvises an obviously fake award for Homer in a scene from “Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?" The Simpsons, Season 3 / Episode 24. The caption in a parody of “The First Annual Charles Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence” reads, “The First Annual FIFA… uh… Award for… Outstanding Peace in the Field of… Peacefulness.”

You are wise doing that. I’m going to trellis mine more next season. For instance, these cute bastards, the Jack-be-little pumpkins. Loved them since I was a kid, decent for roasting and stuffing, and just look at ‘em! Look like a field pumpkin in miniature but grow on full damn field pumpkin vines.

These handsome guys are sweet dumpling, related to delicata squash. Definitely can trellis. I should have, as it started taking over its neighbors, and though I pruned and pruned, a week later you’d never know. Yellow orange flesh, apparently can eat the skin after roasting (I scrape, but).
Three sweet dumpling squash, an acorn shaped squash with broad white ridges and deep green valleys in between, lie on a concrete floor.

I love kabochas and get excited seeing people share their squash and pumpkins. (I am the McSweeny article and I’m not ashamed.) Mine aren’t as artistically laid out, but look at these handsome freaks!

Literally being the Mr. Gotcha cartoon with slightly different words.
In the well known Bors cartoon, a haggard peasant carrying a bundle of sticks says, “We should improve society somewhat.” as a man in modern dress pops up from a well next to the peasant, with a broad grin, tenting his fingers, commonly called Mr. Gotcha, says, “Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent.”

Thank you for giving us a peek on the inside all the same. The fact that joke exists, even free of context, makes Wonkette a little cooler.

In the parole board scene from the “Cape Feare" episode of The Simpsons (Season 5 / Episode 2) around 9:27, after Sideshow Bob has cleverly explained away fears over his chest tattoo of “DIE BART, BART” as being German for “The Bart, The” the female parole board member turns to the chair at the center, smilingly. In a parody of the original line “No one who speaks German can be an evil man”, the caption reads, “No one with a Prussian insignia tattoo can be a Nazi.”

Always.
“It is of a white man and a black man sitting on either side of a table. The white man has a plate with one cookie on it, and the black man has none. In the middle is a man who represents someone who wants to keep people divided, and he also bears a slight resemblance to media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Coincidence? Who knows. The work was created by Denis Lushch from Victoria, Australia.” From https://pjhollis123.medium.com/careful-mate-that-foreigner-wants-your-cookie-aba1c536b0d8

It’s happened once before.
Stephen Miller appears on Meet the Press in 2018 with the top of his head covered in a solidified mass of black goo where hair once stood. Whether he exuded it or whether it is spray hair in a can, it appears to be evil and risible.

A poorly modified version of the “I WANT TO BELIEVE” poster featured in Fox Mulder’s office on The X-Files shows the flying saucer replaced with Laura Loomer behind a dog bowl filled with kibble labeled “Purina Dog Chow”.
