Mariel Garza, editorials editor of the Los Angeles Times, resigned on Wednesday after the paper's billionaire owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, blocked the endorsement of Harris for president. I'm shocked another South African billionaire doesn't support a black woman for president, shocked I say.

Last month, a Russian jet flew between an American F-16 and a Russian Tu-95, coming within just a few feet of the American jet. However, the unsafe maneuver the pilot made was following Putin’s orders; about half a million Russian soldiers in Ukraine already made that fatal mistake.

In the VP Debate, JD Vance suggested Harris unilaterally pass policies, despite the VP’s only power being breaking ties in the Senate. Aside from the VP job description, ya know what else Vance didn’t read? The β€œcan cause cancer and reproductive harm” label on his couch. 😬

(Feel free to boost.)

Are there #ActuallyAutistic or #disabled folks who need a comedy writer?

'cause I keep having those bits of comedy plopping out of my head. Right now, I just write my little bits on #Mastodon and sometimes on my #substack, but it would be nice I think to have my tidbits serve a... I don't know... the template for a #cartoon, or a #skit, or something of the sort.

I'm both a shit cartoonist, and a shit actor, so I would not offer myself to do the *visual* part of the deal.

Or it could even be part of a #podcast.
