I mean, there was already a 0% chance I’d ever buy a Tesla. But now it’s negative one trillion percent.

There should be a DraftKings Peace Prize.

There will be many takes, and their mileage will vary, but I do think at the very least that voters seem eager for a political culture that calls bullshit bullshit and stupidity stupidity

OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

Day 3 selection for #Noirvember (and another RKO release): THE HITCH-HIKER (1953), directed by Ida Lupino. I have a feeling they shouldn’t pick this guy up.

On merriam-webster.com right now. Feels like I’ve missed something…

This is deeply sad, journalistically. Teen Vogue has done much brave political coverage in an age when few outlets are willing.

I woke up at 5:00, absolutely convinced it was 6:00. Looked at the clock and everything. On the bright side, it was the most productive morning I’ve had in ages. But the crash is inevitable.

Day 2 selection for #Noirvember: ANGEL FACE (1953)

Sigh…

This #Noirvember I plan to focus on films I haven't seen before. First up: DEADLINE AT DAWN (1946).

Dammit, @2000ad.bsky.social - you got me. After 6 years of reading the Prog, I finally picked up the Megazine… and got wrapped up in all 6 stories. Guess I’m a double-subscriber now. Not sure I can handle this much thrill-power!

I had several comics phases in my youth, but coming back after 25 years away, the two series that made me a comic book fan for life were HELLBOY and THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL. Which reveals a lot about me, come to think of it…

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

reading any one random hellboy comic will cure a great many things, at least temporarily

A day with art is a good day indeed.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Working from Airport — I’m not even going anywhere, just wanted a massive change of environment and stimuli to wake up the ol’ synapses for a brainstorming session.

You can honestly swap in the names of so many previously useful institutions in here for "The Washington Post," and it's still accurate. Including The Supreme Court and the Congress. We're a zombie nation right now.

The newspaper comic strip Krazy Kat, created by George Herriman, premiered on October 28, 1913. The characters had previously appeared as a side strip to The Dingbat Family. Krazy Kat ran until Herriman’s death in 1944.

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

A study, led by King’s College London, found that levels of the stress hormone cortisol fell by an average of 22% among those viewing original art in a gallery. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

welcome to America, where the idea that kids should have food gets you labeled some kind of communist

Farewell, Jack DeJohnette. What a luminous presence live, what a legacy on record.

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Feeding America has a page where you can input your zip code and it'll show you all of the food banks near you overlaid on a map. If you need it, it's there. If you don't need it, think about donating money if you have it and your time if you don't. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

A stack of comics is the key to happiness.

You'll pry these Oxford commas out of my cold, dead, third thing hands

Very important speech by Mamdani on Islamophobia— starts about 27 minutes in. This will get chopped up and reported on in bad faith (if at all) by fools and trolls, so it’s worth watching in full to hear him in his own words. A historic first for NYC. His tone is righteous and firm.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

it is funny how much studio executives dislike making money

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Bertolt Brecht has gone too far this time

There really is no bottom to this pit, is there? Every day he drags the presidency to new depths of indignity. An utter disgrace.

This. All of this.

The #nokings event I attended had great attendance but the organizers’ chant game was WEAK. Like, “here’s a two-sentence slogan we will repeat exactly four times,” ensuring most of the crowd had no chance to figure it out. You know what’s a good chant? “NO KINGS,” 50 or 60 times.

Cambot is ready for Saturday!

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

You will be safe at protests. If you are nervous, go/leave early, stay away from people getting tense. There will be kids, and dogs, and signs, and probably a lot of frog motifs.

My spouse has some magazine subscriptions in the name of our cats (the cats are Oxford and Cambridge, so the mags come addressed to “Dr. Oxbridge”). Today, Dr. Oxbridge got an offer to subscribe to “Archaeology” magazine at the **professional discount rate** and I am HOWLING. 😂
