Speaking as a Jew, I'm pretty tired of the non-Jewish people in charge fabricating antisemitism in order to manipulatively get what they want, but when someone throws a Nazi salute at the inauguration or sports a Nazi tattoo for 20 years we're told to shut up because that isn't what they meant.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

#NoKings NYC (and notably, no violence either, no matter what administration propagandists try to tell you)

"I don't knock my country for what it is - I knock it because I share the dream of so many of us as to what it can be." ~Rod Serling 1970

It’s funny how black people are expected to reach across the aisle to voters like these, while no one ever expects them to reach across the aisle to black people. Amazing who gets to be human, and who doesn’t.

Trump and RFKjr are trying to demonize autistic people. Do NOT allow this. Push TF back.

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it." @jimlee.bsky.social speaking very passionately at Retailer Day. #nycc

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I stand with the Khan

Yes, this is scary, and yes, it may be the sign of worse things to come, but remember: without those guns, these people ain’t shit, and they will always know it. Let that give you courage to resist.

One of the worst things the 24-hour news cycle did was convince millions of people that dressed-up assholes shouting at each other around a table was the news.

“By the power of Grayskull!”

This. Is. Brilliant.

Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you That is not, in fact, what ICE does He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat

Crappy as he was, we will never have another mayor as consistently and unintentionally hilarious as Eric Adams. Dude is what would happen if the Naked Gun movies took human form

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

telling my boss I’m going to fuck up roughly 30% of the time and it’s math’s fault

I : Lanternflies :: The Punisher : Mafiosi

Enjoying @iwriteok.bsky.social’s Himmler series on Behind the Bastards; between that and the Kimmel thing, I’m realizing the one weakness MAGA has that they Nazis didn’t: Nazis didn’t give a shit if people loved them so long as they were scared. MAGAts still crave admiration. Keep laughing at them.

If any civilian deserved to have the flags lowered to half-mast, it was Bob Redford. A great artist, a great supporter of other artists, an environmentalist… the list goes on and on. RIP to one of the all-time greats.

Moana’s grandmother appears to her as a force ghost; ergo, Moana is a Jedi

Saw Pulp at @foresthillsstadium.bsky.social last night. They’re a rare band that manages to hold on to what made them cool in the first place without clinging pathetically to illusions of youth. They’ve grown together and grown with their audience. Still incredible after all these years.

It’s September 11. A lot of terrible things are happening. Tonight I’m going to see Pulp — a band I have loved intensely for decades — for the first time since the 90s. I’ve waited a very long time for this. Sometimes, art is the cure for what ails you.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

Why, to cope with the unrelenting agony of existence in an unfair universe, of course.

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

The concept of “gratitude” in American politics is an insidious one that implies a caste system where betters confer largess upon lessers and where those lessers must consistently pay homage to their betters. And there is always an implied threat that without proper homage the largess will stop.

The news media is asking us daily to believe that certain people don't have the same right to live and work and see their children thrive as others, and also asking to worry about the feelings of a computer server, and these two things might just possibly be linked.

Posting my twelfth "good times create weak men" meme right before I post several times about how terrified I am of public transit.

“So this is planet Houston. A very strange surface.”

Love to see FBI agents with accounting degrees walking the streets of DC bullying homeless people instead of doing their jobs because a DOGE cybercriminal named "Big Balls" got beat up by a 15 year old.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...

Up next for yours truly: joining Tom Hanks, Kelli O’Hara, and a blessedly stacked cast for what promises to be a lovely night at the theater. Come see us this fall! deadline.com/2025/07/kell...

Computer, show me two books I will not read harder than any books I have ever not read

Whatever my personal feelings about Hulk Hogan, I just realized that of all the wrestlers in the main event at the first Wrestlemania, only Mr. T is still with us. I’m not gonna be ready for that one.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

I saw Superman and, based on the right-wing freakout, I was fully expecting something deeply political. I’ve never seen a more straightforward good vs evil movie. It was the kind of good vs evil story that you make for small children, naturally. What a way for the MAGA crowd to tell on themselves.

Apropos of nothing, here’s a pic of @nathanfoxy.bsky.social, @benjaminmarra.bsky.social and me looking like an old punk band that played the second stage at Lollapalooza back in the 90s.

If there's anything I'm less interested in than Rahm Emanuel's take on our national cultural wars, it's George Will's take on Rahm Emanuel's take on our national cultural wars.

Put some respect on Baltimore and @mayorbmscott.bsky.social’s name. We are not your punchline. We’re a city figuring it out. Kudos to Mayor Scott & his team. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It's so weird how everyone who says they're "politically homeless" is a far right winger who lives in NY or CA and still wants to get invited to parties

Not kidding when I say that if our national leaders had half the moral principles of this man our nation would be a radically better place

If you live in the US especially, following the cuts to medicaid and Food Stamps and WIC that just passed

Speaking as a Jewish person myself: Steven Miller is one of those fellow Jews who learned about the Holocaust in Hebrew school and the lesson he took away from it was “Man, it would have been cool if we had been the ones to do that instead.”

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to
