July 2nd, 1982: A Los Angeles man, Larry Walters, took off from his backyard in a lawn chair attached to 42 Army surplus weather balloons. Lawnchair Larry ascended to 16,000 feet and descended by shooting out the balloons with a pellet gun. He was fined by the FAA.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Stupidest times. We live in the stupidest of times.

In defense of Tillie and Comics.

It’s not funny. It’s real.

this AM the last Prairieland 9 defendant Ines Soto was sentenced to 50 years — so he and his partner, Liz Soto, got effectively life sentences. they have 3 kids. those who took non-cooperating plea deals, Rowan Gibson and Rebecca Morgan, got 15 each. total time sentenced in this case: 530 years

This, as requested by @mhplives.bsky.social, is the @newscientist.com cartoon that Alan Moore describes (rather well) in a recent episode of the Team Human podcast www.teamhuman.fm/episodes/371...

@tomgauld.bsky.social Recently, Alan Moore gave an interview and mentioned a comic he liked of yours about a protest for the Block Theory of the Universe. (About 1:11:00 in)I was wondering if you could share this comic? Thank you and thank you for all the comics! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Good morning!

Reposting because they still have a ways to go to meet the goal. This is horrifying bullshit on top of a lot of already horrifying bullshit.

Nic Cage should steal this guy because he’s a national treasure. (Seriously watch this special)

You’ve Yoko’d your last Ono.

The United Nations is calling for independent investigations after at least 50 people have died in ICE custody since President Trump began his second term. The death rate is higher than it's been in over a decade, and this year is already on track to be worse than 2025. This is unconscionable.

Giving racists free rein to be their worst selves This is bad

Says it all

This is the origin story of my fight for a better comic book industry, and the straight line to the here and now where the mission continues. youtu.be/UBCNh-iO4qM?... The video was shot, edited, and co-produced by @lulufriesdat.bsky.social See you in San Diego next month!!

I don't have any particularly valuable input other than 1. Stephanie is amazing, working with her is always a gift and 2. everyone should read this article and think long and hard about their own internal biases.

Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

Far harsher sentences than the worst J6ers, who are free today: “Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.”

Today I officially closed my accounts at Citizens Bank. This is after months of planning and moving money, accounts, etc. Thank you @de-icecitizensbank.org for raising awareness about Citizens’ financing of immigrant detention centers (concentration camps) including Delaney Hall. /1

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

I hope DEMOCRATS are taking note of the absolute thirst for vengeance out here

Nathan J Robinson: Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries www.currentaffairs.org/news/how-elo...

I’m very pleased to have had the chance to storyboard DISCLOSURE DAY and work with Steven Spielberg, one of my filmmaking heroes.

Everybody’s posting all of these David Hockney images that I’ve never seen. TBH, I was never a fan from everything *else* that I saw, but most of this stuff is brand new to me and I wish I’d known about some of these earlier. Now somebody tell me what’s so cool about Cy Twombly. Please.

On this and every #LovingDay, I want to express my gratitude for the courage of Richard and Mildred Loving. My wife and girls appreciate them as well. (1/2)

I wrote in and reminded @mayor.nyc.gov that he PROMISED in *very strong language* that he will fight the Trump administration at every turn to protect the people of New York. Abandoning that promise in a way that endangers our most marginalized citizens is horrific. TRANS CHILDREN DESERVE HEALTHCARE

Trump announces "maybe I'll seize the capital of the US if voters displease me" and it'll be nothing more than a blip on the news at best

Seeing people tut-tut the OBSESSION art designer for plainly stating the conditions she endured and the pay she received is so fucking disheartening. How do you understand this little about how labor solidarity is built and how capitalism keeps us fighting over scraps?

I mourn the death of seven-month-old Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, who was shot in his mother’s arms by Israeli soldiers. I refuse to accept that we must endure a world in which our children's lives are cut short by violence, whether it is in Chicago or Palestine.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & the U.A.E. could soon influence: CNN CBS HBO Nickelodeon Comedy Central MTV & more Why? They’re dumping $24B into Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros. We can't let countries with a record of censorship dictate what you watch. I’m pressing for accountability.

38 people were loaded at onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP, the highest number we've seen since the end of Metro Surge. All of today's detainees were men, mostly Hispanic, quite a few were construction workers. Stats for ICE Air operations in Minnesota: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-msp/stats

USA...stop doing stupid shit, like voting for reality tv stars to run our govt. LA voters...Spencer Pratt, a former MTV reality tv star, is backed by MTV network, which is owned by the Ellison family. You know, CBS, Paramount. If you vote for him, you're voting for fascism.

Ryan: "This amendment is straightforward. It would prohibit the president from using my constituents' tax dollars to continue waging his ill-conceived & unconstitutional war in Iran... 97 days in, our best case -- our best case, which we're still not able to achieve -- is a return to the status quo"

Transworld donated 10,000 copies of Unseen Academicals. Which feels like a very deliberate choice as the book, at its heart, is about characters growing and becoming more successful by embracing new things or by reading.
