The image is a cartoon depicting a scene with three menacing figures on the left and a man on the right. The three figures are wearing purple caps and shirts, with one holding a flaming torch, another a pitchfork, and the third a hook. They appear to be threatening the man, who is wearing a red cap with "AGA" written on it, a green vest, and blue jeans. The man is holding a phone and gesturing with his hands, looking surprised. The background is plain white, focusing attention on the characters. The caption reads, "Whoa! Hold on... I thought they were messing with the Cracker Barrel logo again, but it's just another school shooting!" This text suggests a humorous misunderstanding about the situation.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a conversation between two characters. On the left, there is a character resembling an elephant, wearing a suit and tie, with a speech bubble saying, "I wish you wouldn't bring up gun control every time we have a mass shooting!" On the right, a woman with glasses and a striped shirt is holding a sign that reads, "Sensible Gun Laws Now," and has a speech bubble saying, "I wish we didn't regularly have mass shootings!" The background shows a police line tape with "DO NOT CROSS" and "Police Line" written on it, and a sign for "Annunciation Catholic Church" with flowers and teddy bears, suggesting a memorial site. The cartoon is labeled "Rhileands Journal Β© 2025" and "Tribune Content Agency."

The image shows a social media post by a user named "friendostradick" with the handle "[@]friendostradick." The post is about a response by Jasmine Crockett to JD Vance, who allegedly told her she didn't belong in the room. The post includes two paragraphs of text, with the first paragraph stating that Jasmine Crockett sits in the room because the people of Texas sent her, and she carries the voices of those whose access to the ballot is threatened. The second paragraph emphasizes that belonging comes from the Constitution, not comfort, and that Jasmine Crockett belongs anywhere decisions are being made about democracy. The post also includes a call to action, encouraging people to listen to and follow women, especially Black women, who have been fighting for voting rights. The post has garnered significant engagement, with 45.7K likes, 737 comments, 3.9K shares, and 400 reactions.

The image is a four-panel comic strip with text and illustrations. The first panel shows a woman in a blue blazer speaking at a podium, with the text: "The forced outing of a queer or trans child to their parent is not and never should be a parental right." The second panel depicts a classroom with empty desks and a chalkboard, stating: "There's a wide range of reasons why someone might prefer to tell their friends or teachers about who they are before their parents." The third panel features a church at sunset, with the text: "Maybe they just don't feel ready yet. Maybe they fear violence or losing their community. Maybe they know as a fact that they would end up in conversion therapy." The fourth panel shows a sidewalk with a person walking away, accompanied by the text: "As someone who got kicked out of her home at 13 for being trans, let me reiterate this: No parent or government has the right to decide when or how a child comes out to their parent." The artist's name, Sophie Labelle, is credited in the bottom right corner.

Thanks to Karen Hao's brilliant book Empire of Al, I learned that drinking water is the ONLY type of water can be used to cool data centers.

Not wastewater. Not salt water. Only drinking water.

We are sacrificing our DRINKING water, so depraved tech loons can try to build themselves a god.

Generative Al is a deathcult

Texas counties replace voting machines after Trump order | The Texas Tribune


I wouldn't mind going back to the old mechanical voting machines we had back when I started voting, currently we fill out a paper ballot and feed it into a machine.

Man would I love to see the whole "AI" industry just get rolled by copyright. It would be one of the only times I've seen copyright used right lately.

The image features a man in a blue suit and striped tie, standing in front of a blurred American flag backdrop, suggesting a formal or political setting. He is speaking into a microphone, with his hand raised, indicating he is making a point or addressing an audience. The image is accompanied by text from "theonion," a satirical news website, stating, "Texas Blocks Law That Would Ban Gun Stores From Operating Inside Psych Wards." The text is presented in a clear, bold font, emphasizing the satirical nature of the content. The overall composition of the image, including the man's attire and the American flag, reinforces the political context of the news item.

The image shows two comments from a user named "status-quo-hater" posted on August 19. The first comment reads: "Honestly I don't think you should need a diagnosis of anything to get HRT. I think you should just be able to go buy it at CVS like it's ibuprofen." The second comment continues: "Ohhh but what if people misuse it and get sick??? They sell cigarettes at gas stations, those make you sick when you use them properly! Put warning labels on it. List recommended dosages by body weight & desired effect. Like any other medication. In a perfect world HRT would be an OTC medication that anybody can obtain." The user's profile picture is a circular image with a purple and yellow background. The comments are presented in a typical social media format with a timestamp and a follow button.

The dinosaurs are green with small eyes and sharp teeth, and they are lying on their backs with their legs up in the air. One dinosaur is pointing towards the horizon, where a large, dark object is visible, resembling an asteroid. The dinosaur says, "That one looks like a giant asteroid." The background shows a clear sky with a few clouds and distant mountains with smoke rising from them. The date "8-20" and the copyright information "Β©Copyright 2025 by DillHilehead" are visible in the bottom left corner, along with the distribution credit "CREATORS.COM."

The image is a four-panel comic strip with a pink background. In the first panel, a woman with long brown hair, wearing glasses and a green shirt, stands with her hands on her hips and says, "Today we're going to learn about insurance!" In the second panel, she points upwards and says, "Hey insurance, I am injured and need some of that money I give you in case I get injured." In the third panel, a man with a top hat and a gold chain, labeled "INSURANCE," sits behind a desk with money bags in the background, and he says, "No." In the fourth panel, the woman looks surprised and says, "And that's how insurance works!" The comic humorously illustrates the concept of insurance, highlighting the common misconception that one can receive money from insurance immediately after an injury.

The image shows a field of pumpkins scattered across the ground, with a mix of white and orange pumpkins visible. The pumpkins are of various sizes and are growing in a natural, somewhat wild manner, with some lying on the ground and others still attached to their vines. The ground is covered with dry grass and leaves, indicating a late summer or early autumn setting. The sky is overcast, suggesting a cloudy day. The text overlay reads: "Wild pumpkins drained of their spice by illegal poachers. Please demand ethically sourced pumpkin spice lattes." This text humorously suggests that the pumpkins have been poached for their spice, implying a demand for ethically sourced pumpkin spice lattes.
