How to Rename Streets the Jack Kirby Way

Today is the birthday of French artist Jean Giraud, aka Mœbius (May 8, 1938-March 10, 2012).

“And if you put it on a stack of papers, it will keep them from blowing away. They say no one’s ever seen anything like it”

Just happened upon this while looking at the history of R-rated animated movies and oh... my... god! PAPRIKA is FREE to watch on Youtube! Treat yourself to one of the GREATS- www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Ij...

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

“Yeah bro, I checked with my legal team, and it turns out kids can’t do gambling.” Was this a flat fee consult? Just curious

Say that first sentence again, but slowly.

Dude blew up a schools with kids in them and a bunch of hospitals. “Precision” means it was intentional. Someone save a spot at The Hague for this dirt stain

if only anyone had warned us about surveillance capitalism

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half. A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.

“People can complain about getting murdered when they’re dead.”

Iranian authorities and Red Crescent Society officials report that more than 100 people, most of them girls, were killed at a primary school during joint U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. Let’s be clear: Slaughtering children in a school is an atrocity and a war crime. www.ft.com/content/055d...

dang that must suck that someone else used what they created without them allowing it

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

There’s a Celtics game on tonight. Just saying

Writer and illustrator Edward Gorey was born#OTD in 1925. Not in a mouldering old room down the drafty halls of an Edwardian manor on a bleak and windswept moor, but right here in CHICAGO, of all places!

This is a really good debate format for like 50 different reasons, but especially at this moment. There's a lot of equivocating over stuff that is not that complicated.

Wild to see someone openly and completely abandon the craft of writing in *any* milieu in favor of becoming a slop-slinger. Emblematic of a classic “I got mine; fuck all y’all” mentality that makes group solidarity nigh unachievable.

Retail Therapy, ‘Fuck ICE’ Edition: A conversation with Greg Ketter of DreamHaven Books by Zach Rabiroff www.tcj.com/retail-thera...

Conservatives surprised at the people of Minneapolis organizing on Signal. “We’ve never seen anything like this. This is highly organized and efficient.” Yeah, it’s called a COMMUNITY, you dinguses. People have lived in them for thousands of years.

LA SAYS FUCK ICE - billboard in Highland Park

The peaceful protest continued down near Downtown Crossing station in Boston with repeated chanting.

I saw a post going around yesterday that ICE should be like the sex offender registry, you should have to announce yourself to your neighbors and stay 500 feet away from kids. I have never supported any watchlist more

i got a bit obsessed with the modern lovers this year & attempted to assemble a complete-as-possible 1970-1974 live chronology. it's far from complete, but found lots of fun stuff, including a setlist for what might be the 1st gig & ads for their shows in bermuda. jessejarnow.com/2025/12/the-...

And from that day forward, they called him Mad Joe Mazzulla #celtics

The House’s plan was what Obama & the Democrats wanted, but the Senate version is what passed. When it was clear the House plan was DOA in the Senate because filibusters, Democrats were like, “This is better than nothing,” and passed the Senate’s version in the House. I remember that off the dome.

If you can’t parent without one eye on the magic screen, you‘ll just make it that much harder to communicate with your kid. Learn to accept that you’ll be playing catch-up to meet your kid where they’re at for the rest of your life. Babies become toddlers, then little kids, tweens…That’s parenting.

I like libraries.

Absolutely one of the best MICE kick-offs I've seen! Don't miss the recording of the "Comics in a Divided Age" conversation between @benpassmore.bsky.social and @alanjenkins.bsky.social, moderated by @joelchristiangill.bsky.social. Thank you for hosting @wburcityspace.bsky.social!

Y'all, I was in Mississippi today for my nephews J-State graduation and got this when I opened Blue Sky

All strapped in for Boston—and MICE!

This is an exhaustive and super informative piece, essentially an obituary of the 2026 Angoulême Comics Featuval.

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

My inks on a Jack Kirby Etrigan sketch.

Delightful. Next, maybe put a giant Yankees logo on the wall above the scoreboard

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:
