At any given job, there are two kinds of senior people: "this sucked for me, nobody helped, and that's how it should be for everybody - it's just how you pay your dues" vs. "this sucked for me, nobody helped, and I don't ever want to be responsible for someone else going through what I did."

"I'm having a friend for dinner. But remember Clarice, eating people is bad because of prions. Drive home safe folks."

What if Cheekface gathered armies for The Armageddon?

Remembering Sam Kieth: Sam Kieth was truly unique in every way and his artwork influenced a generation: here are some of the stories

the only maxxing we support is the number of loose threads and body hairs Sam Kieth was willing to draw

RIP Sam Kieth. Amazing talent and one of a kind human being. Maybe my favorite Kieth piece (pre MAXX) was Epicurus the Sage, but he was genius all the way.

Imagine how many people would choose to ride bikes in Chicago if we actually gave them more than four feet of asphalt and 2 mm of paint for protection?

Coming to comics late meant I met Sam Keith later - Zero Girl, Ojo, My Inner Bimbo. Just a clear singular comic creator, and every page is just astounding comics with its own vision. A huge loss. I think of him all the time.

Oh no, Sam Kieth. I had the unbelievable good fortune to work with Sam early in my editorial career and was blown away by both his bottomless creativity and the depths of his kindness and gentle heart. I’ve never met a nicer person in this business.

Bus drivers don't get enough credit for right hand turns.

If you were wondering if touring bands are really struggling due to the price spike in the cost of fuel and flights, let me assure you that they are.

Remember, if it's only happening because Donald Trump is president, it's only happening because of the people who voted for him.

The Hideout has for 30 years been that rarest of things: A real place, unique, committed to music and community, never straying from its founding vision. It's authentic to its core without being obsessed with authenticity. I have made so many great memories there.

It's a clear and sunny day in Chicago. ICE is out and about, with vehicles sighted across the city and suburbs. Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response just confirmed feds took two people from Cicero shortly after 8am.

WE MADE A TELEVISION SHOW. @victorlavalle.bsky.social & I adapted his incredible book The Devil in Silver into a new season of THE TERROR alongside Karyn Kusama & Ridley Scott. Dan Stevens will blow you away this. So will Judith Light. CCH Pounder. Stephen Root. The cast is stacked. May 7th. 😈 🚪🔒

My brand new single A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER is out today on @chemunderground.bsky.social and available everywhere you would expect. Get involved: brokenchanter.lnk.to/ayearwithoutasummer

Pouring one out for Café Tola on Southport who finally replaced their mural of Kanye West with a mural of Chavez only for this to happen.

Today I am quitting my job working for Mr Trump because I just found out he's stupid. It has been the privilege of my life to work for this dipshit, who I would die for

The unwillingness/inability to self-reflect is the common thread that unites the arrogant, the cruel, the narcissistic, the selfish, the authoritarian. No wonder things are in the state they're in with heedless, callow wealth-hoarders peddling this tripe. I hate them and wish for their suffering.

The anti-introspection thing going around bothers me so much that if I take time to write at length about it, I'll end up with a manifesto. Suffice to say, the "person" who said it is wrong on the merits, the history, and the ethics. Introspection is the beginning of empathy, the origin of the arts.

What's more satisfying? telling a phone canvasser you already voted and DID vote for their candidate OR you already voted and DID NOT vote for their candidate? I think the DID NOT one. 😘😝

Hayley Mills just seething

Realization 1: I have a doctor's appt scheduled. [BOOO!] Realization 2: Doctor is across street from Weiner Circle [YAY!]

Terrifying. Like, we “knew” this was how these fuckers thought/didn’t think about things, but to really see it, understanding that THIS was who was given power over funding so many cultural institutions, public benefits, etc… they just do not give a shit about life…

“Naqvi’s sister, Sarah Afzal, said she almost filed a missing persons report when she couldn’t get answers from local or federal police.” “She was right here and then she was in Wisconsin,” Afzal said. “It was terrifying.” And her family was only able to know info due to her phone’s location.
