if wrestling is fake explain this 🤼

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

White PDXers, now is the time to reach out to and be ready to close ranks around your BIPOC neighbors. You are the whitest metro city in the US, and that is going to paint instant targets on the backs of anyone who isn’t.

Lies gain power through repetition. Repeat the TRUTH!

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Transphobes: still terrible.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

It’s 100% time to gird your loins and get your head ready to fight any government that tries to bail this out when it pops. This isn’t the banks, which are essential to everyone’s well-being. It’s not even a railroad or an insurance company, where failure would harm a subset. This isn’t essential.

This only happens to you once

“Alone in a barroom A young girl is sitting And smiling at nothing at all And she stares now and then At the eyes of the men In the mirror that hangs on the wall…” These lyrics from Kristofferson’s “Somebody Nobody Knows” gave me the idea for the character of Rose Ganitas in Out of Alcatraz.

The beautiful hardcover of our book OUT OF ALCATRAZ arrives next month on October 21 from @oni-press.bsky.social. Sorry I guess this did end with a plug. But look at how pretty this book is.

I’m in Spain for SDCC Málaga, so there won't be a Comic Book Cool Down art livestream tonight. But I’ll be back soon and ready for next Friday’s stream (7pm PT)! www.youtube.com/@MrCrook/str...

Watching the kids at this convention insist that the guy in warhammer cosplay ‘dab’ for the photo.

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops? Well so does neoliberalism. Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy." The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

I think this is a fine idea!

gotta remember that no one likes this shit

News of it never circulated here, but @elijahbrubaker.bsky.social died a few weeks back. I have a few words in this piece for the Comics Journal, reflecting on his work and mourning his loss.

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

Going to have to delete this guy, so I’m posting it here for posterity ;) ✍️ 📚 Drawing comics WIP

In Cracked #14 (June 1960), the great John Severin shows how different TV Western heroes looked from their historical counterparts:

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

I’m getting on a plane tomorrow but I’m not worried. There is no fucking way that an airline pilot is sober enough to get raptured.

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

We got rid of our Disney+ a long time ago. I can't even remember exactly why. It seems like every 6 weeks, they do something extremely gross to try and please fascists and religious extremists. All of these streaming channels only have 1 good show at a time so I don't feel like I've missed much.

I've had this on my computer for 2 decades. it's still funny tho so whatever, happy autumn

LOL

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Woah! They are finally going to ban ache... assheee... well, um acromedif... Ashereed... um ... acredramidoflem... um, let's see ... assee...

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

This is my favorite Comic Book Cool Down ever @mrtylercrook.bsky.social

That brain worm really went to town on that dude, didn't it? It just devoured that dude's brain and destroyed all cognitive ability and sense of shame. That dude is like a walking, talking empty Dorito wrapper, all chewed up and swallowed.

Comic Book Cool Down Sketch #54 by @mrtylercrook.bsky.social... the late, great David Lynch! This piece, along with a whole series of sketches and pinups, will be available soon at MisterCrook.com. In the meantime, check out Tyler drawing this on his Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygdK...

Really looking forward to the Rapture tomorrow. A lot of assholes are gunna be yeeted up to heaven and we won't have to deal with their bullshit anymore.
