It’s been downhill ever since

‘Same Ingredients, Different Recipe’ in Proposed U.S. Book Ban House Resolution 7661, introduced on February 24, would withhold federal funds from public classrooms and school libraries alleged to have “sexually oriented material” on their shelves.

They're coming for our books again.

Introduced by far-right idiot Mary E. Miller and co-sponsored by 17 GOP congressmen, HR 7661 would use the hammer of federal funds to force schools nationwide to remove books the GOP doesn't like from library shelves.

I think I’d go the entire weekend without seeing my 13yo if I wasn’t his only source for chicken nuggets.
And he reacts like a fucking VAMPIRE when I open his curtains.

Wonderful obit for legendary comics colorist Tatjana Wood in NYT.

Here she is holding her Eisner Hall of Fame Award in 2023. This photo makes me SO happy. Just look at that smile! Even at age 96, she knew what that honor meant.

Cricket’s revenge.

Nicki Minaj’s social media propped up by thousands of bots, analysis finds An analysis shared with POLITICO reveals the rap sensation’s advocacy for conservative causes has been amplified by an army of bots and coordinated activity.

Apparently over 18,000 of those bots are dedicated to boosting Nicki Minaj's posts. I actually feel sort of bad for those bots.

In Sports, Left-Handers Exploit Edge Every Day As a minority that has been historically put upon, southpaws certainly deserve their own holiday this Friday -- International Left-Handers Day. But in sports, every day is left-handers' day. Just look...

I'm reminded of Frank DeFord's advice to parents: "[T]each him to be a left-handed relief pitcher, and that kid of yours will still be making a good living pitching when you're in assisted living -- him paying your way. A left-handed reliever can go on forever."

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

I'm usually pretty hesitant to assign blame or give praise to the POTUS for gas prices since it's usually way out of their hands. But in this case it's pretty clear that one man's decision is causing energy costs to rise.
