Thursday Cartoons: Tiger King

Now that is funny.

Yesterday…would you believe I paid over 16 bucks for a dozen hot Krispy Kreme donuts? Well, I did. It was unexpected. When the woman told me how much they were, I almost spit. But by then I could smell them, and it was too late. I needed those hot melt in your mouth delicious treats.

The cost of everything is through the roof!

A few news items:

NEW: Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit, AI-generated child sexual abuse material in recent months. Some as recently as this week."These are ads that were reviewed, approved, and allowed to run by Meta, never encountering interference while the company collected the ad dollars."

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state."This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states.I’m voting NO.

I hope some of these aren’t repeats from last week. I don’t remember if I posted them before or not…everything starts to run into each other nowadays. You all take it easy, this is an open thread.
