I was told this back door vulnerability in the immune system would only be used by the FBI to stop child sexual abuse. This must be a right-wing lie. scitechdaily.com/cancer-cells...

If the only way to get good service from a company was to involve the board of directors, would we treat it as normal? That’s what “constituent service” is.

Lieutenant Karol loves to play strategy games. Are you up for it?

Happy Easter!

Okay, I don't know if what was done in #Venezuela overnight was the US's fight to fight, or whether it has been done in accord with our law or international law. But my well-meaning super-genius super-villain did the same thing years ago. Good luck, Venezuela.

Invaluable, and just when i needed it.

I enjoyed everything of his I read, even when I didn’t care about the characters otherwise. I’m glad he was here; I wish he could’ve stayed longer.

Happy April 25th.

This is how I’ve felt for 40 years, regardless of who’s in power.

My cartoon for this week's @newscientist.com

IBM is laying off thousands of people, depriving them of their livelihood and health insurance and all that. Will leftists start vandalizing and destroying some property in protest? If so, whose? If not, how is this different?

As do I. Ukraine is standing up for the entire West.
