While reading the news from Budapest, take a moment to look at this photo of Hungarian-American Bela Lugosi at an antifascist rally in Los Angeles during the war.

Today would have been the 50th birthday of my friend Patrick Dean, who left this world in 2021. In honor of my beautiful friend, here are some of my favorites of the seemingly infinite number of comics he made...

I know testing emergency alert systems is probably a good idea, but with the world the way it is, the now half dozen or so emergency alert tests I've received from the city of Austin are making me paranoid. "What do they know!?" I know it's irrational, but that's where my brain is going.

I would have gone with "Mr. Magoo director Stanley Tong," but that's just me

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

Saw one of those "I bought this before Elon went crazy" bumper stickers earlier this week, but it was on a late 2000s Hyundai Sonata.

I realized recently that I've been living in the same house for the longest stretch of years in my entire life (6 years). Previous record was maybe 4-5 years? I've gathered no moss, but I do have a lot of junk that would normally get purged in a move.

Maybe my most old man opinion is that this should just be policy in any shared space, public or private.

He's back in robotform!

Do I have to read the supplementary comic books to know how 2027 will go?

I've been a Gregghead as long as I can remember...but I can't abide by fraud.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

This still from All Good Things featuring Philp Baker Hall and Ryan Gosling is one of the damned strangest things I've ever seen

woman in the dunes???.what, is this about Rebecca Ferguson??

Max Fleischer’s granddaughter has been funding these restorations on her own and we’d really appreciate if we can get the public support on the blu ray. It will help us get more out of the vault and keep the legacy alive. Thank you!

I rarely look at Facebook, but it is the one social media site where I am connected with Trump 2024 voters (that I know of). I saw a lot of defensive posts around the election with a common refrain of "I think he's a bad person, but..." 1/3

Episode 8 in a movie theater, bucket list item checked off

I saw [new sci-fi movie about countries banding together to solve a global natural disaster] last week, and first thing I thought was, "Nah, people would just be betting on which nation would collapse first."

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

great news! your local fire department is teaming up with kalshi!

Larry Ellison, who lives on a Hawaiian island he owns 98% of, and who flies fighter jets for fun... thinks he knows what "the middle of the country" wants for their entertainment?

Half watching a very poor Vin Diesel Triple X film so I could collect this moment when he emerges from under water. This isn’t a special effect.

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

At the one I went to some rowdy bros took their shirts off to reveal they had S N A K E S painted on their bare chests and were hooting and hollering like it was a football game. They got kicked out before the movie even started! I often wonder what the rest of their night was like.

Atlanta Public School was wild. Things we watched in class: ‐ a cam bootleg of The Lion King - Predator 2 (someone convinced the teacher that the thermal vision sequences were "scientific.") - Bad Boys - the Zeffirelli Romeo & Juliet (a kid got up and rewound the part with nudity)

"Well, that was bad!" - unassuming cinema patron "I'm sorry, what did you say?" - Matt turning various shades of scarlet with cartoon smoke billowing out his ears. "So bad it's good?" - person not realizing their clarification has just made the situation even worse.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Pro-tip for Austinites wanting to watch more Wiseman: with your TX driver's license you can sign up for a Houston Public Library account. Connect your Kanopy account to this library and you'll get more Wiseman options (and more rentals per month).

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

Frederick Wiseman was perhaps the best chronicler of Modern America in any medium, full stop. RIP.

why on earth is Peter Gabriel dressed like the Joker here

saw this movie in theaters yesterday and i genuinely had tears in my eyes from laughing too hard while watching. its the movie of 2026 already for me and will be hard to beat. if its in theaters near you you absolutely need to see it

From Hamdan Ballal, co-director of last year’s Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.” This is happening now.

The grocery store closest to me replaced all of their produce scales last year with some new "smart" system that uses a camera to ID produce. It kinda works 1/2 the time. Lately all but one has been completely out of order. I can only imagine the bullshit the vendor spewed when selling this tech.

Mandatory thread.
