god this rules so hard (for context, I was making $30k a year as an editorial assistant at Harper in 2010)

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

QUICK PROGRAMMING NOTE: No new episode this week. Nothing bad! Just got SWAMPED at work and doing prep work for the 3 major interviews I'm doing in a 72-hour span. There'll be a new show next week and we'll go from there.

Just got giggles, a look at what some of the interview prep stack contains:

Alright yall, my inbox is full from folks privately reaching out (please always feel free to publicly post if your contract allows) about CURRENT COVER RATES in 2026 Strap in

If you're talking about the beneficial aspects of dueling you're not having a good confirmation hearing

Declaring that no quarter will be given unequivocally violates international humanitarian law. Indeed, ordering that no quarter will be given, threatening an adversary therewith or conducting hostilities on this basis is prohibited and constitutes a war crime.

They're coming for our books again. Introduced by far-right idiot Mary E. Miller and co-sponsored by 17 GOP congressmen, HR 7661 would use the hammer of federal funds to force schools nationwide to remove books the GOP doesn't like from library shelves. #bookbanning #censorship

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

Funny. It doesn't look newish...

It appears that Woody Allen was trying to send a New York Times story about Marie Antoinette to Jeffrey Epstein, but accidentally emailed the NYT's obituary for the great comics artist Marie Severin instead So now Marie Severin is in the Epstein Files, technically What a fucking world

For Liam.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

There aren’t actually. The First Amendment gives me the right to call you “Gestapo” to your face, as often as I want, with zero governmental consequences.

Hi all! We could use some orders through our store to get us through the cold rainy months ahead, so just a reminder that you can get our books here! If you add over £60 of items then it discounts 20%! Everyone's a winner every time! (reposts gratefully received) averyhillpublishing.bigcartel.com

Of all the brands folks are boycotting because they are silent on ICE/the T***p administration/etc., don't forget the most important one to shun: Republicans. None of this "they're one of the good ones" bullshit. Any Republican not disgusted by what that name has done should be shunned forever.

Whenever I see "the team up you never expected!" turn out to be someone you could have guessed, I always snarked and said "How about Spidey and Jesus?" But Sal has such a reach over the MU that it doesn't surprise me that when Spidey & JC DID crossover (even on the sly), Sal drew it. RIP

“Can I say one thing before we end? This theme of what happens when hatred turns into violence is such an important theme in our film. I will not be able to sleep tonight if I do not say, because we mentioned Harry Potter, that trans rights are human rights. I just wanted to say that.”
