Animated sci-fi peaked in 1979. Nothing can compete with Little Orbit the Astrodog.

Please file a complaint with their regulator through HelpWithMyBsnk.gov. It may not help, but it’s important to get it on their record. I hope you’re able to get some relief.

Thanks for this. I lost my dad a few months ago and it’s been tough. Seeing your show in Baltimore brought some much needed laughter to what has otherwise been a very difficult weekend.

So excited to see @sarahmillican.bsky.social tonight. I haven’t been to a comedy show in way too long.

About 5 hours just tidying up & defining contrast. Probably another 4-5 tomorrow & should be done.

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.

β€œThe Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrantsβ€”many of whom have helped build this countryβ€”is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.

They graded it.

Bwahahaha.

Oof. I sympathize. I just had 3 35-year-old fillings (the old silver ones) drilled out and replaced. Took 2.5 hours, with several extra shots of Novocain. Now I’m starving and can’t eat because my whole face is numb. Hang in there.

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

β€œDeporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens.

What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation.

It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

I wanted a ceramic jar with an orange octopus, so I made one. It has flaws - I’m certainly not a master potter - but it’s very close to the image I had in my head when I was making it.

It depends on the country. The US has tax treaties in place with many countries, but not all. In those cases, you pay the difference. If you’re a US citizen with income above the filing threshold, you must file a US return, and you may well owe depending on your residence and the appropriate treaty.

Correct. You must renounce your citizenship to avoid paying US taxes. Also, as long as you’re a citizen, the US gov’t can access your bank accounts. Citizenship for most countries takes years to achieve. If you qualify by ancestry, great. Many Americans are mutts whose ancestors immigrated long ago.

I love seeing comments like this. It’s so much easier for us mere mortals to take criticism when we see the most successful of modern writers getting all wound up about a couple bad reviews.

This painting has always stuck with me. This is a photo of the original - I’m close friends with the owner, who is close friends with the artist.

Checking in from Maryland… it’s been here for at least 5-10 years. I personally think it’s nasty. The street corn I had on the west coast of Mexico in 1996, full of lime & chili (no crema!!) & scooped into a cone like a snow cone… I wish that would start trending. I still dream about that corn.
