I, for one, am ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED to learn that Susan Collins is only 73

Give Phil Williams a follow and read his article below. What he is reporting out of Tennessee and how it connects to the larger American landscape and the world is disturbing and needs to be brought more into the open.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

This is the way. AI is for losers who can't make their own art and who are too afraid to try.

JESUS CHRIST, NOT RAHM EMANUEL

The Dog invented his own game 🎾 and it’s wonderful

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Look i don’t give a shit unless he’s dead

Comics are perfect.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 we are so effing stupid in this country.

Gerrymandering should not be legal. Presidents should not have pardon power. Citizens United is a scourge, a wildly obviously undemocratic decision that should be overturned. Election Day should be a national holiday. And no president should have immunity from criminal prosecution.

JOHN FOGERTY: I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain JAMES TAYLOR: okay, you’re not gonna fucking believe this

Oh jesus christ, as if my feeds weren't already choking with one Grohl, now there's another one

Writers are like: this protagonist is cool and sexy. He's an alcoholic writer and he's divorced.

This is...awesome.

HELL YEAH

kash patel says the fbi will leave no stone unturned, from the postgame locker room of the los angeles kings game tomorrow night to the jelly roll concert a few days later in memphis tennessee

Something lovely to start your day.

I’m pretty sure I took this picture lonnng ago.

They think you're stupid.

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

I do not want to be on guard when I read manuscripts. I do not want to be on guard when I read slush. I do not want to be on guard when I listen to music, when I look at visual art, when I WATCH A FUCKING COMMERCIAL. I hate Altman so much I burn with it. He and his kind have stolen the WONDER.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

THE DRAMA. Very good. Honest—and surprising. Robert Pattinson is very good if 10% too performative (still honest, though), and Zendaya is pitch-perfect. Haven’t heard much about this movie but it shook me up; the cold walk home was good for me but painful.

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Screw Adobe. If you are making comics, Clip Studio Paint is waaaayyy cheaper and better. This is predatory bullshit.

Rahm Emanuel is so unlikable he makes Gavin Newsom seem likable. God help us.

Verrry sketchy, almost as sketchy as the Trump assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, which is 100% goofy and fucked up.

I was talking with Kevin Nowlan about how Mignola thinks with shapes and, by doing so, how he composes the page into a cohesive whole. This is a prime example

Jesus Christ, this is awesome

The people voting in 1995’s CBG Fan Awards saw it as a real time for change.

a couple of quotes i wish i saw when i was 15 or 16--

Trump thinking about an upgrade in the bedroom

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Think voting doesn’t matter? 766 votes.

An "AI" or CGI or whatever recreation of a dead performer is a massive, massive insult to them irrespective of what one thinks of the technology, simply because it is a statement that all that matters about the person in question is their likeness, not their actual artistic ability.

beep beep beep

Hey Tesla owners, what do you think of the fact that your cars can be remotely switched off anytime Elon feels like it?

How many countries can America attack before this is officially a world war

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

if there's anyone doing more important work as a cartoonist right now, i'd like to see it — and not just because of his subject matter. Ballard's technique, composition, backgrounds, and lettering are confident and idiosyncratic. getting a Walt Kelly vibe from this one. Pogo lived in Florida, too.

The long 2010s are finally over

Gonna go ahead and call it—Bill Clinton, whatever his many failings, is smarter and craftier than every one of these dim-bulb Republican C-student rich kids put together. So he may or may not have done awful things re: Epstein (my take is, i don’t think so), but they won’t be able to touch him.

Cat Investigates Mysterious String of Fish Thefts

Watching Errol Morris’s fascinating WORMWOOD series on Netflix—about the mysterious death of Frank Olson, secretly dosed with LSD, and the many moving parts that led to his leap? fall? from an NYC hotel window—for the 4th time. Amazing how it informs thinking about Epstein, etc. It’s fantastic.

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice
