“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

I used the wrong They're. Oops.

I'm just so incredibly sick of people who I love and care about act like their great people because they "speak out" online. Speaking out only matters if it's followed by actual action. Otherwise it's just empty bullshit to soothe your own guilty ego.

The internet is not real life. PLEASE more people realize this. You post sharing your very unique opinion doesn't matter and doesn't change anything. Go offline and DO shit. Organize, prepare for the fight, or just do a good deed for someone. Just stop pretending social media is how you're helping.

Yo nice weird stuff.

You can stack them on top of one another and have the tallest soul.

A radio that combines the design language of old American muscle cars and the spacerace. The top is forest green with tailfins, the bottom is ivory white, and the front is shining silver, on a silver stand. Up top we find a single antenna, a red power/volume dial, and you turn the 'intake" of the rocket to change the stations (the tuning display is immediately behind the engine, incoporated into the body).

I set up my son’s mini PC and it’s incredible how Windows 11 seems to be built around resentment over the very idea of you owning your files and nothing else.

A man in a leather dog mask is being restrained by other men in leather dog masks. One of the pups says "you have brought great shame to the brotherhood of pup play guys, Mark." He holds the sides of a worried Mark's face and says "as such, you will endure the ultimate discrage." A massive throng of pup play guys start chanting "CAT EARS! CAT EARS! CAT EARS! CAT EARS!" as they remove Mark's pup mask and affix little cat ears to the top of his head. Mark starts weeping traumatically and says "please kill me. I want to fucking die."

Poll: Democrats Trail Trump Whether They Replace Biden With Biden, Biden, Or Biden CAMBRIDGE, MA—In a Harvard CAPS / Harris poll conducted in the wake of the first presidential debate, new data revealed that any alternative Democratic candidate was likely to lose to former Presiden...

"In every hypothetical matchup, Trump comes out almost four points ahead of Biden’s potential replacements, including current favorite Biden, the rising star Biden, and even a dark horse candidate, like Biden."

An angry man says "Debate me!" A nearby baby agrees by saying "GA." The angry man shouts "Appeal to emotion!" The baby, with a miffed expression says "BA." The angry man counters with "AD HOMINEM."

The scene is set somewhere deep inside a human body, as two weird little blob guys are seen chewing on the floor of a large wet mass, presumably the tissue of a body. A differently shaped blob, with craggy lines in it like a stone of some sort appears at the corner, interrupting the reverie of the first two blobs and brandishing a knife as he warns that "you microplastic punks better fuck off, this is lead turf." The two types of blob dudes are swept up in a violent brawl. One microplastic tears at a lead guy's skull with his teeth while, elsewhere a lead has a plastic pinned down and swings at him wildly with a bloody knife. It is a bloody, terrible scene of savage cruelty and animosity. The scene pans out further to show a human's head in silhouette, an x-ray of his brain showing it as a soggy and torn up mass of blood and flesh. We zoom out further to see the man within whom this battle rages, him unaware, a contented smile on his face as he says "I can legally operate a forklift."

We're getting ever closer to the date in this comic, which I drew in 2012. Very cool.

GOD: you’ll be able to think up a funny comic strip whenever you want

ME: cool

GOD: but it will replace the part of your brain that knows how to interact with people

ME: well I’m sure I won’t need THAT, I’ll be too busy drawing comics
