I'm right there with you Clay. They're sullying the concept behind my adopted motto. In the words of the good Dr. Thompson: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

"Keep Austin Weird" doesn't play nicely with Trump & Vance weirdness.

T&V are extremely rich white male guys trying to convince the bubbas of the world that they know how to restore "things" to the good ole days when men were men, and women were subservient and proud of it, at least where they lived.

MAGA - Make America Great Again...and when Jordan Klepper asks them when it was great the answers were 1913, when it was founded (Roy Wood asks Except for the slavery stuff?, etc)

“my brain is just wired differently”

… and “wired” is a slight rearrangement of “weird”. 😉

I prefer "Interesting" over "Weird". I've always been attracted to people/friends that are more 'interesting' than the norm - artists, musicians, poets, writers, creative types, the ones with quirks, humor, intelligence, and habits (not icky ones) that are different than mine, etc. and therefore interesting to me. Let's go with 'Interesting'!! Great blog and cartoon today!

“I prefer "Interesting" over "Weird".”

That’s pretty good, but don’t forget the “Old Chinese Curse” 🤬 : 😉

Yikes!! I wasn't aware of that 'curse'... that may be why my life is so 'interesting'... Probably something I should bring up in therapy. LOL! ;)

I was born on a farm, I've seen a lot of crap and slime. Generally, crap and slime are disgusting, mix them together and you get a Trumpublican.

They degenerate any further, they'll just fall apart into the separate elements.

Is this smarter than a JD Vance?
