Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

I'm always looking for an excuse to work with Simon - you should too!

hot take: every single movie plays better in a good movie theater with a crowd of people who want to be there (vs any other context)

I’m not saying Brian May’s guitar made Masters of the Universe a good movie, but it certainly helped.

At a neighbor’s party and got to say “there’s a Turbo Man on the Killer Instinct machine.”

I cannot stress how brilliant this is. A good argument for bringing back local TV and just getting weird with it, too.

Despite it being a mark of personal growth on my part in some ways, there's still a melancholia behind the fact that I have zero interest in seeing a new Star War in theaters. Sad, avoidable state of affairs.

Sheep Detectives is basically a perfect flick, y’all.

I need more folks on here to internalize the nuances of this. youtu.be/-pTjwWTQZqs?...

Dr. Augustus Crimes (the cat) says “put this on your mac and cheese and thank me later.” Seriously, though, he’s a doctor…he knows what’s good for you and you should listen.

Feeling this, lately, as well @hankgreen.bsky.social youtu.be/jXO5axomU7Q?...

With 23 years of continuous work as a letterer, and over 30 years of print/production experience, I’m now unable to find any new lettering work in comics. Please keep me in mind when staffing your creator-owned projects and please consider requesting me on your WFH projects 🙏

Cool, half the comments in the live stream of the rocket launch are flat earthers or trolls pretending to be flat earthers.

I love y'all but you gotta learn the value of saying "that's dumb" and then moving on with your day

pretty convincing tbh

How can this go on for another 3 years?

For what it's worth Fate Freeport (by @greenroninpub.bsky.social) is also a pretty solid base for running D&D with Fate. (Brian Engard and I wrote it. Quite a long time ago.)

Hey, friends. Three years ago today I released VOID 1680 AM, the response to which legitimately changed my life. I've added 100 community copies free to download. Become the late-night radio DJ of your dreams and build a playlist tied to your history with music here: bannerless.games/voidam

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

I’m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War you’ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven: “We will not get bored," Trump said on Monday, minutes before talking about how beautiful the White House drapes are.

Doctor Strangelove now reads like a subdued masterpiece of the subtle mimetic.

i just want to hang out on the internet and talk about my hyperfixations but nooooooooooo powerful people decided being evil was the best way they could spend their time

LASER JOAN & THE RAYGUNS is a 1-shot comic collecting the 3 DARK HORSE PRESENTS stories featuring action-packed rock ’n roll spy adventures by @adampknave.com, @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social, @jordantboyd.bsky.social, @gofrankgo.bsky.social, and me up on Kickstarter now! #Comicsky #CreatorOwnedComics

Masterful Troll, TCM.

A lot going on, but the Cuba story needs to get louder, y'all. Human impact is far worse than the Maduro stuff, just a lot quieter. 11 million people without fuel or power is going to lead to mass disease and starvation quickly.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Just doing my part of boost the Streisand Effect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

Between things like Vertigo coming back and this, it's hard to not want to get back to doing comics again.

If you don't get the religiousity ick, & you need a pick-me-up, you could watch the Washington cathedral in DC receiving the Buddhist monks at the end of their 2300mi Walk for Peace earlier today. Been unambiguously wholesome to watch the local responses as they've moved through the South lately.

Mad I didn't get a picture of the sundogs that were visible around the sun this morning. Only ever seen them once before, but the same "welp, we're in a Doctor Who episode & the Earth is being kidnapped" thoughts arose in head. Worth a Google image search if you don't know what I'm yapping about.

🚨 There's a NEW item on the Dropout Store! A reminder from Brennan: laws are threats created by a dominant socio-economic group. And what better way to remember this, than on a t-shirt to wear close to the chest.

10yrs ago @djkirkbride.bsky.social @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social @gofrankgo.bsky.social @jordantboyd.bsky.social & I did a 3 part Dark Horse Presents story about a rock band that were also spies. It's never been collected. UNTIL NOW! LASER JOAN & THE RAYGUNS. Prelaunch starts now! Go sign up!

Still contemplating a Sinners/Oh Brother Where Art Thou double feature some lazy afternoon when leisure doesn’t feel so distant and difficult.

After spending 7hrs snow blowing, shoveling, and salting yesterday with the promise of no more precipitation this week, I ask: WHY THE FUCK IS IT SNOWING AGAIN?

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Bad-looking blockbuster cinema is quickly radicalizing me toward becoming a filmmaker again.

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

moral arc right to repair

In the future all social and political issues will be decided by dueling GoFundMes, in the ultimate expression of American values.

When I say that Christians against Christian Nationalism as a sustained movement is the secret sauce to getting out of this mess, this what that could look like…

I know this is corny to say but this is the real America, man. This is what it’s all about. This is what those freaks are trying to destroy & we won’t let them

When do we hear about a non-profit entirely devoted to building a daily piss-drop drone lottery for his eventual grave site? Proceeds go to charity. A "win-win-win" as Michael Scott might say.

Won't repost directly b/c it's footage of a murder, but some folks at @bellingcat.com have reconstructed (accurately, I believe) the placement of the feds involved in today's shooting on overhead satellite imagery of the street. Worthwhile visual aid when the shooter is prosecuted, hopefully.
