It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

Reject AI and annoy a billionaire.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

gotta love being sold stories about doing what's right by corporations that even never heard that such a thing

Pantone color of the year:

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

It's equally plausible to me that we all turned off filtering out of kneejerk panic AND that Google is doing shady things, but my inbox is actually way more organized without the filters hiding 2/3 of my emails in tabs I rarely check, so.

New Queer Superhero History post today, and it's a big one: I'm talking about queer coding in the Legion of Super-Heroes over the past 50 years: www.jessicaplummerwrites.com/blog/queer-s...

Yes! Garth is the best one and I'm obsessed with the Titans' cult era: bookriot.com/teen-titans-...

The answer to "why do publishers keep doing this thing I don't like" is usually "because it makes money" and the answer to "why do authors keep doing this thing I don't like" is usually "because everyone else on social media is and they're willing to try anything that might work." The end.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

I love Magneto but is he really right or is he just Not Xavier and also more prone to appearing tits-out on the page? Something to think about.

This Booster look is INCREDIBLE but I think Bea might be my favorite? No, it's all of them, they're all my favorite.

One of my all-time favorite Bat writers could really use some help if you’re able.

Sometimes I think I've seen all the horrors the comic book industry has (almost) visited upon us and then @eileen2thestars.bsky.social is like "Hold my beer": bookriot.com/alan-moores-...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

Hell of a banger cover by @edelrodriguez.bsky.social.

Savor this moment, friends. They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.

roses are red big laughs are hearty

watching this election from afar, it's been wild to see mamdani repeat the same three basic municipal policies 50,000 times, while his opponents react with virulent hysteria to completely imaginary bullshit.

Farewell sweet Prince

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

How fucking cool is this @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at Rosh Hashanna services and EVERYONE WAS MASKING! Kolot Chayeinu was one of the first synagogues to call for ceasefire. “The rabbi spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, calling Israel’s campaign a genocide.”

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

These look SO rad.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

New at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: Gretchen Felker-Martin speaks out about DC Comics cancelling Red Hood, and her comments on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "I had no regrets."

“Kirby: Well, I'm a positive guy. That's the only way I know how to be. That's why Darkseid can never win. Because I believe that the ultimate villain will never triumph. He can't triumph because he can never get enough. There's never enough for a Darkseid. And when they fall, watch out!”

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.
