Deported Toon. Today's cartoon by Peter Kuper.
Things to Do in Los Angeles While Waiting for an Insurrection
We hear that 4,800 of you have been bunking in parking lots or government buildings the last couple of days. This spur of the moment trip didn’t even give you enough time to book a hotel room. Sleeping on concrete is hell on your back. There are some cool boutique hotels in the area, however. The Hotel Figuroa has rooms for as low at $175 a night. But with the $134 million dollars of taxpayer money being spent on your visit, why not splurge out? Stay at the Biltmore. Have dinner at Redbird. Maybe lose the tactical gear. Not a good look for an evening of fine dining.

An Open Letter To The Person Who Asked Me What I’m Doing For The Summer As If I Didn’t Have To Work
Summers are for children, college students, and adults who had the foresight to become teachers. It’s also for wealthy freewheeling adults, the kind who make enough money that they scamper off to Lisbon, Patagonia, and Burning Man every June, July, and August, but who somehow also work jobs that don’t mind they are gone most of the summer. Perhaps you have confused me for one of these “fun rich” types. I’m sorry to disappoint, but these multi-colored Tevas on my feet are my attempt to look hip for casual office Fridays, not for cruising the fjords of South America with my polycule.
iPad Baby: You Don’t Get It, I Have to Give My Baby Constant Access to Content Designed to Be as Addictive as Possible Because Otherwise He Might Do Things.
Yes, the WHO recommends against baby screen time. But they simply don’t understand how hard it is to be a parent. When I take away my baby’s iPad, all he does is try to get my phone from me. And I’m obviously not going to limit my own screen time. I’m not a baby, am I?
