I HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN AWARD. It's for The Zeldas, which is objectively the best name for an award. This lineup is stacked, but if you think I'm pretty good at comics, maybe kick in a vote? www.izivote.com/v/the-zelda-...

Protesters outraged at the Trump Administration's immigration crackdown that has led to the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good have have took their protests to Hilton Hotel, Target and now Enterprise Rent-A-Car. This car lot is a block from Karmel Mall where customers sales have dipped since Dec.

Crafting is LIFE AFFIRMING THERAPY. For me it’s a focus tool and a stim in addition to a way to make a thing. For some people it can literally keep them waking up in the morning. Donate some stuff to make a thing!!!

Still processing this choice by @chicagomag.com. No matter how they couch it, they’re elevating an unapologetic bigot. There’s a lot of real estate between ignoring him and ranking him among the most powerful people in Chicago (ahem, Berwyn), and Chicago Magazine jumped over all of it, eyes closed.

Seeing Walton Goggins responding to Robert Duvall's death reminded me that I asked Goggins about The Apostle in a 2008 AV Club Random Roles:

A beautiful and deeply important piece. Please read.

Up on the newsletter: the time I got day drunk and tried to buy the rights to the Mitchell score because a bad MMO promised to let you play a cop with your own theme song. stuckness.ghost.io/the-time-i-t...

A book by “A Bronte”? youtu.be/6VXnk_XM9RY?...

What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

not really one to talk about my work in sort of “director’s commentary” terms but there are two Very different ways to read this comic and part of me is very curious whether people consider the second one

Reposting to remind myself to submit my 2025 work

Fun fact: This is how you earn trans peoples votes

Yup.

thinking about Nick Groom's suggested "seven types of obscurity" in Gothic novels, forming a handy "is it goth" checklist lmao

Unrelated I've been losing my mind at this figure skating videographer for a day now. www.instagram.com/reel/DUxzy9k...

There’s a reason why there are rules about how you use single and double quotation marks. The original post has both curly and straight quotes for some reason, as well as an unpaired quotation mark flapping in the breeze. It’s pretty rich to chalk this up to other people’s reading comprehension.

So basically this

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES. This is extremely intentional. If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

NOPD ejecting a float for throwing beads at federal agents, when they in fact were throwing them at an anti ICE sign, is hilarious and on brand

today I saw a dad at costco deploy a high-risk “fine, I’ll buy you this basketball hoop if you can make this shot” maneuver to his young son only for the boy to swish from like twenty feet away. net barely moved

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Also note the way that the burden is always, always placed upon the left; the right must be catered to, the center must be appealed to, the left? Suck it up, accept whatever is offered, perform the labor of care and capitulation and compromise. A familiar dynamic.

Soft-launching this today, because Michaels has some exceptionally good weekend coupons - Help me rebuild the arts & crafts room at Park Slope Women's Shelter! www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

remember when they got rid of the public editor because Twitter could serve that function instead

If someone with conservative politics tells you a story that affirms their conservatism, they made up that story. They lie so much it doesn't feel like lying to them. This behavior is what their leaders have cultivated and it is in full bloom. Do not believe anything a conservative says to you.

This is basically my suggestion for pitching future shocks - someone’s probably thought of your twist, so start with it, sucker punch them with second twist.

Yes Marty! Full agree

imperialists: *fucks up other people’s country to the point people need to flee* also imperialists: ew why are you gross people coming here?!

turn off "intolerance" too i've seen more mufos get caught by that one than i have actual bigots

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN. They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

I would bet for all the tech people at the top that’s mostly fraudulent self giving as well.

Phew. Go to hell, “RUDE“ tags. I have left other theoretically useful tags on warm but if they are systematically mis-applying them I’ll turn them all off too.

Please stop glomming on to malignant narcissists as political saviors.

Uh, how do I turn this shit off so I can see my friends posts? Also this thing is clearly being misapplied and probably should be junked.

She was funded to do the biggest medical review on trans youth care in British history, I think about £4 million over 4 years, and the thing she's bringing to the press at the other end of it is a pet theory about what she reckons is up with trans kids that has no evidence behind it.

We didn't get Mamdani in NYC by giving the fuck up. We got him because he demanded what people wanted and a bunch of different groups on the left learned from previous fuck ups and united behind him and millions of people said "Huh! We actually CAN do better?" And we fucken did.

SO MUCH this whole thread and this in particular:

I don’t know why so many cartoony AI memes have a piss yellow tint, but if your cartoony image is piss yellow I am afraid I am now trained to suspect it is AI and ignore it.

I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

Coming to ECCC and don't have a hotel? Our airbnb is still available for that weekend! airbnb.com/h/leilanihouse

Expedition 33 and Critical Role Mighty Nein sticker sheets have arrived and will be shipping out on Wednesday!! They came out so cute eeeeee~ (They're up in my store if you want 'em! thestarfishface.com I'll also have 'em at ECCC~)

It's funny to imagine standing there waiting for the one remaining employee to come by and unlock the case for the thing you're waiting to buy, and watching the price bounce up and down in real time as it registers you as a different person every 30 seconds

24% would support this? Are they fucking mad? I'm assuming they're the kind of car drivers who self-define as "motorists" but I don't think it'd be great for cars either, our streets just aren't designed for this so you'd need to put loads more crossings in.

Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

Bitches, leave.
