1. Toots from Fesshole and Cats of Yore appearing together on my timeline: Fesshole: My partner doesn't know that the reason the cat purrs loudly and enthusiastically right in to his ear every weekend morning is because I'm putting my finger next to his ear so the cat will come over and purr right there. @catsofYore@varminttown: Illustration by Eileen Mayo for Best Cat Stories, edited by Miachael Joseph, 1952. (Image ALT Text follows) "Ink drawing of a shorthaired white cat lying on a blanket on a sleeping boy's chest, gently tapping the boy's mouth with its paw. The boy continues snoozing on his pillow."

@Saltssaltgirl Yyyyeahhhhh.
Even if this ends favorably, these results really make a statement about our country, and it's not a flattering one.

Happy 10th Anniversary to this absolute legend, Wondermark #1062; The Terrible Sea Lion

1. Wondermark by David Malki summon up wondermark.com A six-panel strip, in black & white. 1st panel: Man and woman riding in some kind of old automobile. Woman: I don't mind most marine mammals. But SEA LIONS? I could do without sea lions. Man: Don't say that out loud! 2nd panel: Same scene, but zoomed out. We now see a large sea lion has pulled up behind them. It's not anthropomorphized. It looks like a regular sea lion Sea Lion: Pardon me, I couldn't help but overhear... Man: NOW you've done it 3rd panel: same scene, but only showing the sea lion and the woman's annoyed face Sea Lion: I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement. Would you mind showing me evidence of any negative thing any sea lion has ever done to you? 4th panel: Man and woman at a table, indoors. The sea lion is behind them. Woman: GO AWAY Sea Lion: There's no need to raise your voice, I'm right here. I'm just curious if you have any sources to back up your opinion? 5th panel: Woman is in bed, frustrated. Sea lion is beside her bed. Woman: You're IN my HOUSE Sea Lion: You made a statement in public for all to hear. Are you unable to defend the statements you make? Or simply unwilling to have a reasoned discussion? 6th panel: Man and woman at the table. Sea lion is behind them again. Man: TOLD you, dude. SEA LIONS. Sea Lion: I have been unfailingly polite, and YOU two have been nothing but RUDE. Woman: I AM TRYING TO EAT BREAKFAST Sea Lion: Very well. We shall resume in an hour

@blogdiva I tried watching it, but he's just an angry firehose of lies, and neither she nor the minor fact-checking the mods are doing can keep up with it. It's as frustrating as it is exhausting.

@aral Yup. 2010 for $1m.
Seems like he lowballed himself there, but I guess he knows the worth of his morality more than we do.

A really stupid comic/meme with a surprising amount of scientific knowledge in it. I've been laughing about this all day.

1. Panel 1: Pakicetus: Indohyus, my brother, I've decided to search for more food in the waters. Panel 2: Indohyus: You will regret this, Pakicetus. The environment will force you to adapt.

Blue whale: AAAAOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAH MRUUUUUUUH Deer: *looks* Panel 4: Blue whale (zoomed in to only see its head): BWOOOOOOOOOEEEEE Deer: WTF

1. An split image containing two copies of the same bomber dropping bombs, one above the other. The top image simply has the word "Republicans" above it with nothing of note visible on the plane. The bottom image has "Democrats" above it, and the plane is decorated with "Black Lives Matter" and "Yes we can!" signs on the side. There are also rainbow stripes on the tail fin.

1. Jason Overstreet quoting/replying to a tweet by Pofessional Centrist Jon Favreau. Note that the Favreau tweet is truncated in the original image. Favreau: I've thought for awhile that an underrated reason for voter discontent right now is that we're all dealing with a kind of pandemic PTSD, which is also why so many people seem to have a collective a... Overstreet: The reason for voter discontent is you have one person who tried to overthrow the fucking government and you have another person who is facilitating a fucking genocide. Stop overthinking things.

Why do I have to identify bicycles just to put money in my kid's lunch account? If a robot wants to give my kid lunch money, LET THEM.
