On The Donald, two separate posts called for the assassination of AG Merrick Garland. Both posts featured his picture with a caption saying ‘this is what the 2nd Amendment is for.’

One post called on people to “buy a gun or help organize your local militia.”

The other said “Get ready for war.”

To reiterate: They’re trying to get the US Attorney General assassinated.

I somehow never knew this.

One of the best things about coming home from tour: the new 13th gen Intel core motherboard for my Framework laptop waiting for me. Last night's jetlagged mobo swap took 15 min (as ever, 75% of that was reconnecting the wifi antenna, ugh). Today, the machine is BLAZING fast.

My new mainboard case is due any day now. Gonna put the old mainboard in it and turn it into a bookshelf PC, running a Plex server for all my music so I can stream to my Sonos (no-mic!) speakers.

Latest comic: Junk jargon

Entirely predictable that Johnson making baseless accusations that he’s been forced out - he even uses the word “witch-hunt”. Trumpian rubbish. Privileges Cttee has Tory majority. He lied about the most serious of things & was held to account for treating us all with contempt

A scientist was convinced that his recent Time Machine invention could also double as a replicator. To prove this, he sent his pet duck 1 minute and 2 minutes into the future simultaneously.

After a minute, the first duck appeared unharmed. The second duck materialized and both ducks were instantly annihilated. The appearance of the second duck had created a pair o' ducks.

Who's ready for lunch?

Skylab astronauts ate a much wider variety of foods than the Apollo astronauts. With over 70 kinds of foods provided, including some frozen foods, they could reheat portions of their meal in special trays that slotted into the ward room's table.

I present to you the 90s Band Alignment Chart.

A comic I drew five years ago while hunkered indoors next to an air purifier in Seattle as wildfires raged in the Northwest. Now the east coast has the ticks AND the smoke.

1/ Uranus appears to have run out of gas. Attempts to recruit Russian rocket scientists and engineers to become "Imperial Stormtroopers" fighting in a "Uranus Battalion" in Ukraine seem to have attracted few volunteers. However, they may still be forced to join. ⬇️
