In an alternative universe, you got home from school in 1998, did your homework, and decided to check out that dinosaur adventure game:

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Hehe, this is why it's always good to credit the artist!

Ah, Giygas.

Actually, at first blush, this reminded me of the old Sci-Fi horror film The Black Hole.

If you think pointing out that a member of Bluesky staff is following THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION while said staff is banning Palestinians & trans folk (and defending people who want us dead) is "unhinged"... what the fuck is wrong with you?

Is anyone surprised @offline.mountainherder.xyz is a techbro?

@Scoiattolo on Bluesky:

Yeah I'm shutting down @for.shame.wtf. I'm sorry, I know a great many of you use it responsibly and in this specific case it is not relevant, but this sort of behavior is unhinged and I don't want to be party to facilitating it.

Because more people need the endorphins from it, the Firefox cookies comic by @astolphokitten.bsky.social

1 a man working on his computer.
2 a Fox crawls on the desk. The man says "Oh, hey Firefox! What's up?"
3 the fox leans on the computer, saying "Gotta clear your cookies."
4 the fox opens the tower and a cascade of chocolate chip cookies pour out.
5 the fox happily eats them.
6 the man says "That's a lot of cookies" to which the fox responds "yup."
7 the man asks "can I have one" as the fox keeps eating.
8 the fox hurriedly scoops up the cookies
9 grumpy, the fox says "No."
10 the fox scoots backwards holding the pile of cookies.
11 the fox falls off the desk with a "WHUMP"
12 the man leans over to ask "You okay, buddy?" to which the fox replies off frame "No. No, I'm not okay."

You know how those thinkpieces about the Star Trek Holodeck would just create sociopaths because they can just create people to hurt without repercussions?

Like, maybe we should give them more credit than we have.

Dana Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror 🎃 @danacorn.bsky.social · 12h

In Jan 2013, when my strip was new and obscure, I tweeted “there would be no Marigold Heavenly Nostrils without Peter S. Beagle.” I tagged Mr. Beagle.

He started tweeting back. This led to me being invited to participate in the upcoming Last Unicorn Tour, and Peter writing my first book foreword.

Dearest Emmaline, my stints at the front line are too horrific for words to convey. An Antifa officer in an inflatable frog suit gyrated its hips at us for hours on end. The taunts & insults they hurl defy our teargas & pepperball bullets…

They bounce off the mascot costumes!

Pray for me, my dear…

It’s my wedding anniversary. I never thought I’d marry or even have a bf. I asked Andy if it was okay if it was -or I was UNromantic to go on the road today and he said “every day is the anniversary of how great our marriage is; just come home.”
