Gautama H. Buddha on a flying zabuton, how does someone get this fucking stupid in just one lifetime?
Best argument for reincarnation I’ve ever seen.
We are in the moist and clammy paws of the Bizarro World Buddhists, and this slobbering eejit is their Dalai Lama. His Assholiness.
Speaking of the actual DL, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that His Holiness has declined reincarnation, saying, “If Yosemite Samsāra over there keeps coming back, I’m giving it a miss.”
Mad Blog Media 
Can’t remember the team, but there was a hockey player in the 70s who got the name Two People from the veterans on his team. When somebody finally asked where it came from, they said, because there’s no way one person could be that fucking stupid.
Ladies and gentlemen, President Ten People.
“President Ten People.” Ho ho ho. Sounds like a 1930s Hollywood version of the Native Americans he wants to “honor” by reviving the Redskins moniker.
As a taxpayer, I want to know whether the RNC or the office of the White House is paying TFG’s orange spray paint bill. And talking about reincarnation, what horrible thing did somebody do in a previous life to get stuck with the job of dipping a brush in a gallon of Sherwin-Williams burnt sienna and slathering that goop on?
The painter was probably the Marquis de Suede in a previous life.
Martin Short sure does look like the president in that photo, PO’G.
Martin Short, impersonating someone who doesn’t know how straws work.
A Big, Beautiful Straw like Nobody has ever Seen before.
In a proper world, if you saw a dude like that shambling toward you along a sidewalk you’d cross the street.
No worries. Buddy just let me know that South Park is doing a new set of PSAs for the dumpster. “His penis is teeny tiny, but his love for us is large” from the narrator in the first PSA. Paramount lackeys must be shitting in the board room about now.

It is the hee, and also the haw. Well played to the “South Park” crew.
That “financial decision” to cancel Colbert looks odd when they just wrote a $1.5B check to Matt and Trey.
Gotta hand it to those two. After 27 seasons, they are basically sue-proof. The first half dozen years or so, they made sure legal looked at every little thing they did. But they also moved the goal posts an inch at a time. I’ll be there at home right now licking their chops, hoping TFG takes them to court.
The discovery process would be amusing.
“OK, Your Majesty, drop trou’ and let’s have a peek at Lil’ Donald, see if you were defamed.”
The Guardian has a piece on Trey Parker and Matt Stone addressing the episode at Comic-Con yesterday. Here’s an excerpt:
“I’ll be there” vs “I’ll bet they’re” is sponsored by Apple Intelligence. After tequila and handguns, the quickest way to make a horrible mistake that felt good at the time.
To riff on Captain Kirk, beam me up Scottie, there’s no intelligence down here, and that includes the computers.
As a guitar player, I don’t qualify as a musician now and maybe never, I think AI is nothing more than automated plagiarism in small bites. This technology samples existing content, much of it copyrighted, steals what it wants, and never pays a penny to the creators. Rick Beato can explain it better than I can. It takes 11 minutes, I found it enlightening.
“Property is theft,” as Pierre Joseph Proudhon once said. It should be the Motto of the Internets.
I have had to make my peace with the notion of online spiders adding my little threads to their webs, mostly because there’s nothing I can do to stop it. It’s the same principle that has guided Felonious Punk since he was a piglet (“Don’t like it? So sue me.”).
And from time to time I commit my own small acts of piracy, like liberating the photo at the top of this post and doctoring it lightly in Preview to punch up the orange.
I’m not claiming the image is an original work by me and trying to turn a profit on it, though. It’s just what I consider to be a fair use of the image as an illustration for the post, which is my original work. And if anybody hollers, I’ll take it down. No need for shysters.
What worries me is what feels like a wholesale surrender of the creative process to the bots. This is actually starting to feel less like a comment and more like a post, so expect some extended raving on this topic directly.
I look forward to hearing more on this from a creator who is being taken advantage of by the digital fentanyl dealers with beltway lobbyists. Rick Beato created lyrics using AI. Reading the lyrics, and listening to the melodies and chord progressions, I read and heard familiar things. “Cuts like glass” in the AI lyrics definitely reminds me of “cuts just like a knife” from the song “Rose In Paradise” written by Stewart Harris and Jim McBride is an example. That’s two thin for the courtroom, but I know where it came from. So, we will have more AI users, both private and corporate, claiming they created something, making money from it, and maybe even copyrighting and selling rights to it. Legal? Maybe. Ethical? No fucking way!
“Felonius Punk.” Beauty!
Funny. I just went to one of those AI generator sites and typed in “what am I thinking?” The site replied with “Bicycling good. President, shit.” Amazing! And I didn’t even create it.
