If Jim Morrison hadn't died when he did he would totally be a creep in the Scott Baio / Richard Dawkins mode

Yes, I know the uPVC door needs washing, but Jinxy really has softened towards Gerald, and they are now at least part-time friends.

No but seriously we gotta take all their money but also break up companies and regulate CEO pay to make this impossible to repeat or we are all going to die being mulched for data centers and bunker cement.

AI is stealing jobs from hard working plagiarists and kids switching words around after copying whole sections of Wikipedia. We used to be a proper country

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

why airports, specifically? surely whatever weird scenario about "shedding" and postmenopausal cramps would apply just as much at the mall or on the subway or at the symphony?

@authormsbev.bsky.social just popped over to see if Ms Bev saw this Met Gala gown “Tessa Thompson in an indigo gown and indigo-stained fingers. A clear homage to Gullah-Geechee indigo slave workers, a powerful symbol representing forced labor and skin marked history.”

really upsetting! very impressive.

nichapat suphap dress in motion. The hands move.

Jessica Valenti's Abortion, Every Day is crucial, but damn I wish she'd leave Substack

Again, the best time to leave Substack was yesterday. The second-best time to leave Substack is now. Friends don't let friends hang out with Nazis and TERFs

An incident wounded a child near the White House. Not a Secret Service agent, an incident.

I was already enjoying this dress an abnormal amount but ALSO IT MOVES AAAAH 🤩

If this isn't a nod specifically to Luo Li Rong, I will eat my hat. not even the straw hat, I'll eat one of the woolly ones.

does a better job with this year's Met Gala theme than Lauren Bezos

🧵just adding: after the '93 WTC attack they were told to put the command center underground in Brooklyn. When Giuliani became mayor, he insisted it be at WTC. After 9/11 it was moved to a location underground in Brooklyn.

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

See, 1994 had more going for it in terms of try-whatever-might-work than some are willing to give it credit for.

Not enough people read Rex Stout and I know this because I’ve found no self-insert fanfic where people sleep with Archie (I just plain disagree with Archie/Wolfe - Wolfe is clearly ace and Archie is allo and all that is lovely)

I actually chanted “yes, yes, yes!!” out loud - You Be the Judge is my favourite Guardian feature and they did a ”where are they now” www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I guess until we figure out how to make my website be alive again I will be posting comics over here www.jephjacques.com/comics and on my patreon www.patreon.com/jephjacques

I should probably clarify that while my website got nuked by Some Fucker, I haven't lost any actual comics. I have that shit backed up more places than you would believe. Look under your bed. My comics are there too

Man the US-Australia jet lag at this time of year suuuux. It’s 6:15pm and I’m really pretty ready for bed. Dangit.

I have two children’s books on my shelf from the late 70s where my name and details were computer-inserted to a prefab story. That’s all this is, except pornier. (also I don’t know what to do with them, they are useless to anyone else and they aren’t pleasurable to me)

Have learned that my fellows do not know the tiger poem so here it is for you

Look I am not even trying to ho it up for whuffie, I just want an excuse to repost this again without deleting the first one - oh yes indeed (also sex work is real work, I‘m sorry I said ho in a potentially disparaging way$

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

Wait did something happen tonight? I have been doing funeral stuff all day (Aboriginal people of Australia use the term “sorry business” and it’s so goddamned apt) and missed things?

As is usually the case, this is a bill intended to hurt trans people and it will affect many more cis people

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

lol enjoy the warfighting readiness of a flu epidemic in the ranks

I will go even further, as a childfree baby hater, and say that government exists to ensure that every child has adequate food, housing, medical care, and education, and any government that does not prioritize these things should be rejected vehemently

I don’t have children and one of my top 3 red button issues is that children should get free, substantial food at school

Melville: whales are fish and no one can convince me otherwise! Jeff VanderMeer: well, herman, if you look at the science Melville: "ooo well if you look at the science" Melville: shut up nerd Mary Shelley: ha ha ha! i LIKE this guy! John Langan: what kinda bait you using, herman?

Man I know it’s The Midnight Society but this is playing dark

@ouinne.bsky.social, @damnslippy.slippy.me what the hey

actually aside from banning them entirely, smart glasses should be forced to look like this, no stealth, no cool

lol, Springer-Nature spamming w subject heading "Writing a book isn't that hard" - I know they are doing it to try to be encouraging so ppl will pitch but I think it shows their basic attitude that authors are an exploitable resource and should know their place

Rare sighting of a column chart taking a dip at Hove Beach. #dataviz

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

I sure would like it if Western outlets would stop just saying "Israel claims, without evidence, that Hezbollah uses ambulances and hospitals to transport fighters and weapons" and move on to propose some other possible reasons and investigate the evidence. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

oh NIN, that video for Deep did not fool me, that song is not about a bank robbery. unless the bank is heroin or obsessive love or fucking.

attn @notendingwell.bsky.social incentive to deal with the headphones issue

look I know being a Mets fan is like this but I also think Nathan Fielder has Resting Misery Face
