At some point in the last quarter century, “tech” in the United States became the field of business school dullards instead of people who actually make things people want or need. Real innovations in green energy, medicine, and pure science are still happening every day, but because the finance bros can’t immediately monetize them, we’re stuck with rent-seeking apps and flat-out scams.

Nobody wants this stuff, but they keep selling it. Singling out Kara Swisher might not be warranted, but she got rich slinging this shit. Hyping up Elon Musk is a huge reason why she’s where she is, and he is without exaggeration, a mass murderer.

Members of Exclusive Early Access might remember I first came up with this idea in Orphan Doodles. I switched the Meta Glasses bit up a bit from that initial sketch, but that’s why the sketch was an orphan. I might modify that panel into a t-shirt when I get the time. Let me know if you’d wear Pervert Glasses on your chest, not your face!

Biohacking Hacks   Recently updated !

Manosphere influencers like Clavicular and Andrew Tate are giving young men the same distorted body image issues magazines have been giving to women since the invention of the printing press. Some of these dumbasses have even claimed hitting faces with hammers can improve jawlines. I don’t know if it’s actually been done, but it’s become an apocryphal detail about the world of masculinity influencers.

Instead of these freaks who look like somebody slapped a blow-up doll’s face on a mop, people should make Tom Savini their masculine role model. This legend has made movie monsters for decades, and still has the time to be jacked at 78.

Meanwhile, those of us who don’t care if we look like shit are terrified of getting the salad shits. Cyclospora is all over the news and our food supply. With an incubation period of up to two weeks, I’ll only know if I already swallowed one of these microscopic time bombs if I get explosive diarrhea.

Speaking of diarrhea, RFK Jr. and the rest of the administration are obviously responsible after dismantling the CDC, FDA, and every other acronym that provided some modicum of public service. I knew they were capable of all this evil, but never predicted they’d take the joy out of making diarrhea jokes.

Emergency Obituary Cartoons

I have a part-time day job, so my ability to draw breaking news is pretty limited. I wanted to get these out there in case Mitch McConnell’s alleged aliveness over the last few weeks is finally debunked. Please don’t share until he’s really and most sincerely dead though. I wouldn’t want to be rude to one of the dudes most responsible for the current fascist state of things.

I might write more of my Mitch Thoughts when it officially happens, but since I spent a good chunk of my career drawing this ghoul, I wanted to get a cartoon out there. I was honestly kind of surprised he’s still a sitting senator. Since he passed the Senate Republican leadership over the Thune, he’s rarely made news except for falling down and glitching out.

Rest in piss, Mitch (Eventually)!

Climate Exhaustion or Climate Denial

Read the comic on Patreon.

A heat dome has settled over a good chunk of the United States, including New England, where it’s already 95°F/35°C, and expected to pass 100°F/38°C tomorrow. This has resulted in the usual media frenzy of informing people about the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, all while undermining the seriousness of the threat with B-roll of people having fun at the beach or something similar.

Thousands have died in Europe’s most recent heat wave, since everything there was built for mild summers, before record heat became the new normal. Many Americans have been pretty smug about it, like their window units aren’t costing them hundreds of dollars a month with our antiquated electric grid. Before anyone gloats about their heat pumps and solar, please remember that I rent and my apartment’s currently too hot for your homeowning bullshit.

Stay cool, and be cool this weekend. Don’t let the climate deniers take all of us out with them.
