From the writer of "Why Don't We Just Kill the Kid in the Omelas Hole"! Very excited for this.

Jury nullification. Learn it, live it.

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

This is kind of specific, but I really want the judge to end this trial by sweeping his papers off the bench in frustration and then telling everyone to get the $#@!%& out like he's in a BLOOM COUNTY comic strip.

sorry, my wording was imprecise there are lots more Democrats than Republicans in NYC Republicans, *as a percentage of all the Republicans in the city* turned out at higher rates than Democrats *as a percentage of Democrats* But far more Democrats voted than Republicans, in total

Am I understanding this post correctly that more registered Republicans than registered Democrats voted in the NYC election, but Mamdani prevailed with the volume of "third-party" voters?

1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics. From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I thought FRANKENSTEIN had been added to Netflix but it was just Cuomo's concession speech

I'm always anxious about early election calls, obviously because of Bush v. Gore, but also because as an ex-warehouse employee, I can't help but picture a box someone missed getting jammed into a corner that turns out to be full of Cuomo votes or something.

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

hey #screenwriting #screenwriter who writes #tv and #film - have you ever wondered how a great writer creates unforgettable characters? ME TOO! sadly, all you get is my latest essay in which i break down how i cope with what i see as my weakest suit! www.uncannymagazine.com/article/i-am...

I've always maintained that this job can be the keys to the kingdom if you do it right. I've seen the examples of what's possible in real time. Not just a path to writing, but directing, producing, any job you may wish to have on a TV show.

Remember how in the Business Insider story about all his sexual abuse allegations he chased after a fleeing, naked teenager trying to avoid rape going "Stop running away from me. Stop running away from me."

This year's Mundane Halloween highlights are here!!

I'm incredibly thrilled to report that I won @madcavestudios.com's talent search in the writing category this year! I've really been loving so many of the comics they publish, so it means a lot to me to have their vote of confidence as I kick off my comic writing journeys!

CANADIANS! Our government is once again trying to convince us AI is good, actually, and they have a whole big survey about how we can use AI. I pretty much just said "we can't until we can do it without mass theft and poisoning the environment" over and over again, and you can too

I don’t understand why dating is so hard, all I’m looking for is a new best friend from scratch who I’m willing to die for that must get along with all my family and friends and have comparable ambition and identical values and wild sexual chemistry with me and no else forever

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Most of the American voting populist is basically this.

Faceless armed men snatching masses of people onto transports to deliver them, under the cover of darkness, to — oh I don’t know —some kind of detention camps, where many of them disappear. What’s that called again?

Are you ready for the Atypical Artists Hallowstream this Friday?! We'll be joined by some very special guests: @euripidesredux.bsky.social @gabrielurbina.com @lillymouse26.bsky.social @andrewnowak29.bsky.social and the entire stream will end in an exciting surprise!!! youtube.com/@atypicalartists

When Latveria hears they’re bringing in Blake Treinen

Been a real up and down day... A lovely piece of good news followed by two disappointing rejections, one big (grant), one small (development program), then a Blue Jays win and a some points on the board for my Movies Fantasy League choices (owing to the Gotham nominations announcement).

BREAKING: At least 18 Palestinians have been killed and about 50 others injured in Israeli air strikes across Gaza, medical sources on the ground told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/11lhsx

“More than 150,000 people have died across the country and about 12 million have fled their homes, creating one of the worst humanitarian crises.” This is a genocide in Sudan.

I accidentally got emotionally invested in baseball and I knew I would regret it almost immediately.

The penultimate episode of TWO THOUSAND AND LATE is up and the final ep is out Friday! You'll hear me in a couple of scenes in these last two eps as the Mammoth crew goes on strike. Thanks again to Lauren for casting me as everyone's favourite kind of co-worker, the one that asks you for money. ;)

It’s not just that they don’t have to turn off SNAP benefits — they’re not legally allowed to. They legally must use the contingency fund. The admin is pretending they can’t use it even though their own guidance from a month ago (that they’ve since deleted) contradicts that.

I'm going over the inventory we got back from Diamond. They took 8 cases of 200 comics each, split them into 53 evenly (and badly) packed cases, then sealed them up. Never distributed. Then charged a ton to ship those 53 boxes back to me. Can't figure out how such a well run machine could fail.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Ready for the (other) holiday! @aduralde.bsky.social

I am delighted to finally show off the cover I was fortunate enough to do with Tenebrous Press for OLYOKE, an incredibly dreamy, psychosis-inducing book. This might've been the most fun, cathartic and enthusiastic I've been with a cover piece, thanks to the contagious passion behind the team.

Davy Gardner, the head of Tribeca Audio, and an amazing writer himself, says "Two Thousand and Late scratches an existential itch you didn’t know you had, and does it with claws. Punk, delightfully vicious, and funny as hell."

You know, whatever else there is to say about DC comics firing me, I have to say it felt deeply satisfying to tell a suit, "I get it, it's important to keep the faceless mob of Nazis happy"

wrote about diane keaton forever choosing to go solo despite all the romantic comedies.

You've still time to make it over to Revenge Of and get a copy of OUT OF ALCATRAZ signed by Chris Cantwell!

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The last time the Blue Jays were in the World Series, my dad had to accompany to the movie theatre so I could see DEMOLITION MAN.

Hi all- a friend has a family looking for a missing minor. This is in the Monterey Park, CA area (San Gabriel Valley). Please boost. Thank you!

Highly recommend having creative friends who write things and make things BECAUSE THEN I CAN SHOUT AT THEM HOW GOOD THEIR THINGS ARE now all of you listen to these amazing shows so I can shout with you. Two Thousand and Late - @atypicalartists.co The Harbingers - @gabrielurbina.com

California! Today's the LAST DAY to register to vote before the November 4th special election. Spread the word & make sure you, your family, & friends are good to go. This one's important. www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/l...

The 8th episode of TWO THOUSAND AND LATE is up! We have a fun group Mammoth crew scene as Harper tries to talk us into a union, and there will be TWO episodes out next week, including the finale on Halloween (for which @laurenshippen.com will be doing a listen-along)!
