If you have time this weekend, please check out the doc (~30 min.) my team & I released this week on Musk’s push into Greater Memphis with xAI and its noisy, methane gas burning turbines, data centers, broken promises & impacts on majority Black communities next door. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/16/e...

At an Irish pub in Arlington, VA and EVERYONE booed Trump when he was on the screen. Only times that Spain and Argentine fans were in agreement: Shakira and Muppets, good. Trump, bad.

Scoreless World cup at the half…Muppets make everything better!

ODNI in 2020–when Trump was president—declared that Russia mounted a major election influence operation (to help Trump), and China did not do that much.

Nothing more low-T than demanding to see another man’s testosterone level.

I harp on this so much because generative AI is, among its many other inequities, also a massive wealth-transfer engine from creators toward soulless hustle-grind types who get to reap enormous rewards while the people doing the actual work to create things get impoverished.

I hate this game!

So military troops under the direct control of Trump and Hegseth will be on the streets of our nation’s capital for the rest of Trump’s term. The rationale—they’re here to help with a crime emergency—is laughable. But of course the real reason is ominous. cbs4local.com/news/nation-...

Memphis is under siege from the federal government. This is hideous.

this, for me, is the defining Lindsey Graham statement

This man knew. #FishMilk #InfoWars

Tonight, we go live with an emergency you don't want to miss. 8/7 ct. https://www.youtube.com/live/mZXxXsKF4H0

Free shipping to addresses in the USA. Fucking intolerable shipping everywhere else.

Hey everyone who was yelling about Minneapolis, time to step up again.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Today is the birthday of artist Mike Parobeck (July 7, 1965-July 2, 1996). His life was far too brief but he was an amazingly talented artist and we were blessed to have him.

Incredible and infuriating scoop from Jeff Simms and @brianpjcronin.bsky.social. I'm going to FOIA/FOIL the hell out of this incident and I hope everyone else does, too.

Charles Dickens

Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria with a 20% mortality rate, has been spotted in multiple U.S. waterways. This comes after the Trump administration disrupted water monitoring systems and slashed CDC programs that studied the bacteria.

THREAD. On Thursday my latest novel is out in paperback. Tomorrow I'm signing 1000 copies of it for @blackwells.bsky.social. If you'd like one, they will send it to you with FREE international delivery: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro... Here's why I'm especially keen that people order this book...

No fucking notes.

I hereby declare that Rudy Giuliani be stripped of the title "America's Mayor" for multiple reasons and nominate Zohan Mamdani

Time for a POPUP FUNDRAISER! Give $45(or more!) to Trans Law Center. DM me here to claim, then email a screenshot of your receipt. I'll send you a postcard sketch of any comics character. No celeb likenesses. Comics characters only! (🧵cont) transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/

obviously not the first person to make this observation but the "move along, citizen" shit for regular DC residents is especially galling in context of the pardons for the rioters who broke into the fucking capitol

I love the work of both James Jean and del Toro. Together they are magic.

Did all of these people miss the Labor/Green Party news over the past year? Come on Dems, get your heads out of your asses. You lost to the worst Presidential candidate twice and haven’t done nearly enough to combat his policies and rising fascisim. Of course voters will seek something different.

It's easy to comment on the bad OMB rules by July 13! The Stand Up for Science Foundation produced webpages on “How to talk to anyone about OMB-2026-0034” (www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-a...) and a “Guide to Writing Public Comments” (www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-a...) 4/

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great #FilmSky

Writers posting “I sold a book!” with pics of a notification that they sold a single copy of their first (or whatever number) novel will always make me smile and want to write a novel. You go, writer person!

Only 6 short stories were nominated for the 2025 Hugo. Again, these are relatively short odds. What are you waiting for? Write your short fiction, build up your fans, encourage your fans to nominate you for awards. Take your shot. Push forward. #writingcommunity #booksky #shortfiction #awards

My Odyssey and Iliad translations are available as audiobooks, read/ performed by very talented real people: Claire Danes and Audra MacDonald. They do a much better job than the robots! www.audible.com/pd/The-Iliad...

Again, here is a video I took April 27 that appears to show workers sitting on the ground and picking at the peeling sealant on the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

If you promise Hope and Change, deliver little of either, income inequality increases on your watch, and your attempts to prevent fascism are lackluster at best, people will look for other solutions.

i don't speak ska fluently but i'm sure i could pick it up

$2.5 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right, they are PAYING to keep your energy bills high.

Mamdani allies going 3-for-3 was the real Third Way all along.

Fencing famously changes the color of water through the magical properties of “nothing to see here, move along.”

Circus continues its run in DC

It is a national embarrassment that POTUS screwed up the reflecting pool. @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social covering it for us.

The fucking Potty Mouths, right?
