I always say HOSPITAL, which in the world of "institutions" starts to have his first sense of how workers form the institution. Also has maybe the funniest scene in any Wiseman film with the hippie tripping on LSD.

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died

Dude got Reedmogged.

Just saw a conservative commenter complaining about Lynch's mischaracterization of "Heritage" America, so I was already thinking about this.

Icons falling today. RIP.

And this one:

This one too:

the Black Panthers were right

Martin Sheen’s brief but perfect impression of Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now youtu.be/9BkChat11cE?...

RIP the iconic Robert Duvall.

This week's review covers THE GREAT STRIKE (1917), an Australian documentary of the important labor action that was screened exactly once and then pulled and censored. Only 15 minutes out of an hour runtime survive moviessilently.com/2026/02/16/t...

OK, I am a bad social media user because I'm constantly doing creative things and hate sharing. But this one turned out pretty good for a thing I'm working on.

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March. For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

Compensation is now streaming on @criterionchannl.bsky.social.

I'd somehow missed that one of my all-time favorites, @denyscowan.bsky.social, was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame!

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

New newsletter is up! The last of the process posts about CHEETAH & CHESHIRE, plus additional nonsense! Free! Marginally entertaining! front-towards-enemy.ghost.io/p/0a6e0467-e...

#OtD 13 Feb 1913 82-year-old labour activist Mother Jones was arrested in West Virginia for supporting a coal miners' strike. Convicted in a military court and sentenced to 20 years in prison, she was pardoned after serving 85 days. More on the Mine Wars: workingclasshistory.com/2018/06/09/w...

Tryout page for Marvel, from the late 1970s. The artist was deemed not worthy. His name? Dave Stevens!

A pet theory of mine is that Spielberg/Scorsese/De Palma all made movies that bled into the sensibilities of one of the others. CMIYC is Spielberg’s Scorsese movie, MINORITY REPORT is his De Palma movie, UNTOUCHABLES is De Palma’s Spielberg movie, CARLITO’S WAY is his Scorsese movie…

Recorded a little "Blue Moon of Kentucky" proof-of-concept for a pair of plugins that I'm working on which mimic the Sun Studio/Records recording chain, and (for the solo) a Gibson EH-185 amplifier. One take for each track, so not too bad.

@doncardenasart.bsky.social I also have a guitar based on a Ditko character. It's in fixer-upper mode right now, though!

FINALLY. PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN.

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

The ABCs of comics I think YOU should read: 🧵 Read through, and then quote-repost any letter with a book that starts with that letter that YOU think people should read!!! ❤️

A friend made an apt point on AI recently: criticizing people for using ChatGPT for medical advice shouldn’t start with "inaccuracy." It should start by questioning a system that denies patients time and care. People aren't fleeing expertise, but are filling a void left by institutional failure.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

RIP the great Bud Cort.

I would have had very confusing feelings about this if it happened

RIP Cake's Greg Brown, who had a great guitar sound—hollowbody through a Proco Rat. Lots of news services using Xan McCurdy's picture to accompany the obit.

The Question

Post a banger not in English.

My favorite baba ganoush in KC!

"Nobody shook hands and said 'good game'" ought to be our epitaph at the heat death of the universe.

I made a little comic celebrating something nice in the world that my family loves. It can also serve as a recommendation for those of you who are (or are considering becoming) parents. Finding joy where you can is a survival skill in bizarre and awful times. I ‘ll fix the typos (I just noticed!)

Bombard his office with calls reporting that the Baileys died in a horrible, flaming car crash on Long Island, just solid burnt to a crisp, and that his services are no longer needed.

Lovely time seeing Carson Ellis and Mac Barnett at the Rabbit Hole in KC tonight.

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

I'd somehow missed this song about Bree Newsome by The Slackers, which combines three of my biggest interests: 1. Good ska music 2. Anti-racist action 3. People named Newsom(e) being cool

As my old friend Gene just reminded me, yesterday was the anniversary of the Subs! And if you know me, there's only one Legion I love almost as much as the Legion of Super Heroes, and that's the Legion of Substitute Heroes. But it's close. Very, very close. #LongLiveTheLegions

15 episodes of a box of rape kits getting moved around to various storage rooms and never tested

Yoshi is one of my favorite artists to look at for inspiration. I'm always learning new things from their work.

The ONLY surviving Gullah-Geechee community in Georgia just stopped developers with an 85% vote on Sapelo Island. They protected their language, culture, and ancestral land from gentrification. When Black communities unite, we win. This is power.
