I’m in PDX for the book festival and just went to see the new Predator movie. A 6:30pm show on a Friday—opening night for one of those “sure thing” tentpole sequels the suits swear will save the industry. There were only THREE other people in the entire movie theater. Hollywood’s broken.

Target greeters trying to lure us back:

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Mamdani already lowering the crime rate in NYC lol

It's hard spinning while wearing a full diaper—respect!

"And yes im a real person lol"

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

“Don’t you think you’re too old to be Trick-or-Treating?” SIR, I AM 55 YEARS OLD. I AM TOO OLD TO GIVE A SHIT.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

I just want to take a moment to thank the person who made this miracle possible: Ace Bailey’s agent.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I had no idea John Oates could ball.

Dog finally found! Doing fine! Thanks to everyone who shared!

Happy "PROFESSOR!!! CANVAS IS DOWN!!!" day to all academics who celebrate.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

I imagine Justice Robert sees every batshit crazy thing Trump does and flirtatiously giggles, “Oh Trump, you so silly!“

God is good. Hell, I'll go even farther: God is pretty good.

Without sports, you would have to depend on love to break your heart.

John Bolton is finally getting his and I can't even enjoy it. So wrong.

I think MFA programs should be able to bring back our favorite grad students for an all-star celebrity cohort season, like on reality shows.

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.* You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

The president is clearly insane, is on a white supremacist government purging spree, has masked men in the streets abducting people based on their race, is trying to start a war with Venezuela, and is tanking the economy, and none of that would be apparent just going by most corporate news outlets .

Ok fine, I robbed Peter. But to be fair, it was just to pay Paul.

Low stock alert! I only have two copies left of BACKFLASH by @matjohnson.bsky.social and me! Want a copy of this sleeper gn from @darkhorse.com? Don’t wait! Table K-19

The woman in front of me at the supermarket paid with a check—she was in her 90s. I haven't seen that in years. And I just realized: that really might be the last time I ever see that again, too.

One of the most frightening things about Trump's fascist coup is how many people don't realize it's a fascist coup.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Back to back posts in the TL today

I'm up in the crib having entire conversations with myself, but it's all good: my dog just thinks I'm on the phone.

I'm in between book projects, so lately I've had a lot more time for introspection. And it fucking sucks. I don't know how people do it.

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...

The establishment Dems are so comically useless that it indicates this is exactly why they're being propped up in the first place.

[man grips chest, falls to dining room floor—whole table turns to look at me] "I'm sorry, I meant I'm a 'Cardi B-Ologist.' I really should have cleared that up sooner."

Still have my copy from college, 30+ years later.

These kinds of incidents are happening all over the U.S. ICE is Trump's goon squad, his thug army.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

My next project will be a book-length story told entirely in emojis. Occasionally, dialogue will be used, as well. I’m going to call this new art form, “The Graphic Novel.”

Everyone when the Chotiner bat phone rings

"From 1974 to 1980, Duke was an active leader of a community organization he founded that championed the power of dialogue and debate."

I've got news for you. The Rapture already happened. It took Prince and David Bowie.

Pitch: aliens invade earth and the only solution is for Rupert Murdoch to expand News Corp into their media market to destroy their civilization, too.

America's more cooked than Joel Embiid's knees.

I’ve come to realize that I don’t have a best friend. I have best friends. A fellowship of unique individuals with varied abilities exactly like the Legion of Superheroes, sans the supernatural abilities. And in this time period. And ethnically diverse. But other than that, exactly the same.
