anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui... Cartoonist Ann Telnaes is quitting the Washington Post because the paper killed her cartoon about billionaires in tech and media kowtowing to Trump. Sadly, the Jeff Bezos-owned Post proved her point.

One of my better snaps of my mom's cat Tikru ("Tigger") on Xmas 2024.

OTD in 1978 USSR & Afghanistan signed a "friendship treaty". We invaded them a year later.

I would rather watch a miniseries of #themachinewars than #duneprophecy and more of the same religious #humbug.

Not that Prophecy is *bad*, it's just more of the same.
