“Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.”

I drew this 22 years ago when the letter "X" was getting commercially played out.
Not only is this hilarious but I love the idea of embedding a #Twitter tweet in a #Bluesky post in a #Mastodon post so here goes:
Some of you need to hear this, so: your son is your son and your daughter is your daughter regardless of whatever genitals they were randomly assigned in utero by your indifferent and feckless god. Love them for who they are and stop trying to pass laws to nullify their existence, you monsters
@ndweiss Hello, love. Wonderful to see you here at last

me: you can’t fire me, I’m a whistleblower

HR: first of all, that’s a kazoo

There’s no time to explain, get in the pea

Sad news. Pele has passed away at age 82.

IMO, the best soccer player ever.
He rose to fame at age 17, leading Brazil to the 1958 World Cup title. And what a career.

Fortunate to have had the opportunity to see him play as a member of the New York Cosmos of the NASL, 1975-1977.

RIP legend.
