This week's Generation X is a really fun book that carries on some threads that I wasn't expecting. I highly recommend it. @jodyhouser.bsky.social @jacopocamagni.bsky.social #erickarciniega @airy.bsky.social

Happy President's Day!

On day 1 Trump trampled the legislative branch & is ignoring the judicial branch, so when do we realize we're in an active dictatorship? www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is beyond infuriating. So much pain and suffering and death because an anti-science conspiracy theorist was put in charge of our nation's health.

My traditional Valenthrawn's Day greetings to you all 💙

Today is Friday the 13th FOR GANON. I swear, after nearly TEN YEARS, I am finally beating this game today. #BreathOfTheWild 🟢LIVE www.twitch.tv/16biteric

So excited to announce IDW's brand new CRIME imprint launching this year! Huge thanks to @forbes.com for making the grand reveal. Which book are you most excited for? www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

My landlord sucks 🙃 which has left me short on grocery money this month. Every little helps 💖✌🏾 ☕️: ko-fi.com/drakoniques/...

If you need a little good news today, it appears that 5M of the 6M viewers of the "All-American Halftime Show" were bots, and that even Conservatives are jokingly referring to it as the "Take Your ball and Go Home Halftime Show." The viewership was 1/3 of an average Fox New Primetime show. Total 💣💣💣

OK one last shirt design, this one I just made because I personally wanted a shirt that said all this but couldn't find it anywhere. www.bonfire.com/ai-is-theft

This is an absolute nightmare.

They want to put a lot of us* in there. * This means you, if you're reading this. They want to put you in there. Find your organizing home and start pushing back.

This article is incredible. It says everything us actual authors have been saying for years, but with a smile on its face. “If you hide that there’s A.I., it sells just fine,” she said. Uh huh? Tell me more. Like how you published 19 novels to sell 20,000 copies. An average of 1000 copies a title.

Clergy friends, your moral voice matters so, so SO much in this moment. In the public square. Pushing your electeds. With congregants. At actions. Teaching the truths of your tradition & using the authority of your office. & calling in all that damn social capital. What ELSE is it FOR

I got a haircut, so it must be convention time! Who am I seeing at @gallifreyone.bsky.social this weekend? I'll be on panels, signing in the dealer's room, AND participating in the art show!

Every time Trump claims election fraud, it is a massive lie and the media should be saying that. Countless lawsuits, recounts, and statistical analysis have proven that our elections are honest & accurate. That is the truth & anyone claiming otherwise is lying. (1/2)

Comics is very lucky to have Cara.

We have actual studies that support this, yes. Your morality - your very humanity - changes the more are removed in your life, the less friction you have in life, and the longer you go without having anyone putting guardrails around you. Obscene wealth makes monsters.

Very dangerous talk.

Imagine if we had to follow the Constitution if the United States of America.

You guys 100% sure you wanna do this

That's right woodchuck chuckers it's GROUNDHOG DAY! I'm just gonna have some coffee and chat RPG stuff. 🟢Live! www.twitch.tv/16biteric

There’s also the flip side of this where people don’t understand the tropes that define a genre and think one story is “copying” another because they both adhere to pillars of the genre.

Okay, I missed that Lupita Nyong'o was cast as Helen of Troy. I thought we were all just talking about how gorgeous she is because, you know, she exists. Anyway, basically perfect casting.

I'm not really an artist, but as a Spider-Man writer, I wanted to contribute my own drawing to #Comics4Liam. Please visit comics4liam.com for more info about how you can help our immigrant communities 💖

Make sure you call your reps about this crap.

This is the best sign I saw today.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

This is actually genius.

I suspect/hope that pretty much everyone with those qualifications both cares deeply about writing, and wouldn't betray their own profession for far more than such a palty pay.

The sheer volume of news about ICE and related agencies is getting a little overwhelming, so WIRED will be running a weekly newsletter for the next while rounding up our own reporting as well as essential coverage from elsewhere. You can sign up here:

Fellow journalists as soon as we find out a way to financially support Georgia Fort’s legal defense fund we need to boost it as much as possible. I doubt she has the resources Lemon might have. We need to support both of them but she’s not nearly as well known as Don Lemon.

With the arrests of journalists, ICE, FBI election office raids, threats to arrest Obama, charges on Comey and Powell and James, I can’t exactly what the threat level is. Is this a competitive autocracy and Democracy is over, or is this a hapless blundering one making moves that never truly work?

This seems like it could be a movement theme song. Thank you Boss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

No stream tomorrow friends #IceOut

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

DARK FUTURE is my new novel: a metaphysical time travel tale about loss, hope—and the possible transformation of the universe. neotextcorp.com/fiction/dark...

This morning I wrote that DOJ’s ballot seizure in Georgia looks like a dry run for 2026. My advice and request: Sign up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

So incredibly proud of this line of books we have coming from IDW Dark this year... ...and it's just only the beginning!

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

Eric just got a sub bomb 🥰

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

I realized I have yet to promote my debut YA GN memoir coming out in August: www.harpercollins.com/products/ste...

I’m bumping this out of the thread bc these books deserve to be seen and purchased!!!

Organizers in Minnesota have asked that the rest of us help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Call or email Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD.
