We all mock the Tylenol/Autism connection, but my mom watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show while pregnant did turn me bi.

Grindr crashing near the Charlie Kirk memorial is MAGA’s way of celebrating Bisexual Awareness Week.

“An over-the-counter drug causes mutants” would’ve been too over the top for a 90s X-Men comic.

In case this wasn't already clear:

I haven’t fallen so immediately for a singer-songwriter in some time, but damn, Brian Dunne is great. Loving his whole new album. Early Billy Joel meets non-problematic Ryan Adams, with a touch of 80s Springsteen? m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qpxk...

That wasn’t a bad half for the Giants, but I can’t tell if it was a good half.

Look at that! Steve Kostanski, Logan Faerber, and my Matter-Eater Lad story is at my local library! You can literally check it out (if you’re in Burbank).

Don’t sell merch at my funeral. But do give away free swag.

I’m rooting for the Rams, but damn these Eagles are fun to watch.

Billy Eichner does a good job speaking to the fucked up moment we’re living in. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

What I learned from the Nicolas Cage Left Behind film: the rapture may have a significantly lower budget than you’d think.

May all creative folks have the confidence of David Lee Roth, who heard some of the most killer riffs and said, “Now to add my scatting.”

Heritage Foundation, Moms for Liberty and others are doing to Africa what they can't yet do to us. Mariana Van Zeller's recent episode called 'Illegal love' has the receipts. And now they are disappearing and killing LGBTQ+ people in some African countries. Keep these people out of your schools!

Project 2025 continues to be the worst project ever. www.advocate.com/politics/her...

Spoiler alert: yes, this is the discriminatory alien land law of 1913 all over again. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

"I have 40-plus years left on this planet Earth. I don't want to live like that. I don't think any of us do. I think it's more about how do you want to wake up every day and tell your kids what you did in this time period." Found this deeply moving from @bencollins.bsky.social 🥹

Between the world’s news and a local Burbank troll, today was a good reminder that, at heart, these fascists and their toadies are scared, cowardly, and weird. So weird. We should tell them regularly.

Almost 21 years ago to the day, I got a call that changed my life. “Hi, my name’s Patty. I’m the production coordinator on Jimmy Kimmel Live. We need a day-player for a field shoot this Friday.” That one day gig turned into my 1st Hollywood job, as a production assistant on #JimmyKimmelLive. 🧵1

Possible silver lining: Kimmel is now available to be a guest on Colbert tomorrow night.

If these assholes make me have to defend Jimmy Fallon next…

Will the one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk lose its job for sharing Charlie Kirk’s quotes?

While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

Enraging shit seems to keep happening by the hour. My only antidote: Jens Lekman's new album. It is seriously swoony, clever, and calming.

You - yes, YOU - can help protect the LGBTQ+ community here in California by telling Gov. Newsom to sign eight - yes, EIGHT - equality bills currently sitting on his desk. This link will help you do it in one step, today: app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag...

if you’re a trans american and following the news right now, it can feel pretty terrifying. that’s because it IS terrifying. just… the number one thing you can do right now is to live as long as humanly possible and make it to the other side of all this. because we WILL win. and that’s how.

If you’re talking to someone, and have your arm around them… and that’s the look on their face… just stand up and walk away, man. Of course, he’s not looking at her.

Robert Redford was a film icon, and gave back by helping the next generations of filmmakers. Going to celebrate his work with a few of my faves: Butch & Sundance, All the President’s Men, Sneakers, and - one I saw many times as a kid thanks to my Mom - Barefoot in the Park.

I’d have loved Freaky Tales at any time, but watching it tonight, after the past week… goddamn I needed all that “Fuck Nazis!” energy right now. Cathartic and fun as hell, with great music too.

Oh news cycle, at least you make it so that I never need to find a new meme:

Only losing by 3 in OT kinda feels like a win for the Giants.

Hey! I just learned the hilariously gory Matter-Eater Lad story by Steve Kostanski, Logan Faerber, and I has been collected in the DC Horror Presents trade paperback, now available everywhere! www.dc.com/graphic-nove...

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

As someone who’s lifelong musical taste was largely defined by 90s movie soundtracks - I’m looking at you, Singles and Grosse Pointe Blank! - this interview with Yasi Salek was essential reading: www.criterion.com/current/post...

New Liquid Mike and Jens Lekman albums are just the surprise this Friday needed.

So when will Trump send the National Guard into conservative men's groups to end the violence?

I’d be okay with a 22-episode Peacemaker season where 17 of the episodes are just Tim Meadows and Steve Agee insulting each other.

Just learned that a genuine American hero (and friend of my dad) passed away last week. Please take a moment to read up about Joe McNeil and all he fought for. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

I always used to say I’ll root for any NY baseball team. After the past 24 hours, let’s go Mets all the way.

Bummer that America’s reboot of Dave is using A.I. instead of practical effects.

Dear New York Times, can I write an editorial tomorrow about Ezra Klein isn’t using “right way” the right way?

I know there’s been a lot going on these past 24 hours, but we all know AI was used on his video from yesterday, right?

Years ago, lawyer for Chicago Tribune gave me a formulation I never forgot: Never write, in an email or anywhere else, something you wouldn't want to see enlarged & put on a poster in a courtroom. Do I always abide by that? Prob not. But I think about it A LOT & it has helped me avoid some landmines

So leaders CAN be convicted of staging coups. Thanks for that tip, Brazil!

There is a LOT of noise on social media today and remember that the best way to engage with it is to 1) ignore it 2) put that energy into supporting your local progressive candidates, particularly if they have imminent elections. Donating to @runforsomething.net supports that vital cause.

Something I feel comfortable ranting about in public: STOP EATING COMPANIES, SKYDANCE!

BOOM! Studios is HIRING!!! We're looking for a talented, organized, and detail-oriented Assistant Editor with 1-2 years in editorial or a similar field! You will most likely be working directly with me on a variety of comic titles. Please visit the link to apply! bit.ly/42ooXLq #comicjobs

Today’s thoughts are better shared with friends, in person, not on any record. See you tomorrow social media.

Thank you, Rams, for doing what the Giants could not by making football exciting to my kids.
