LOS ANGELES!!!!!!!! This is your reminder that our award-winning crime short film, JUST THE JANITOR, is going to play THIS WEEKEND at L.A. Comic Con! Come see us at 2PM in Room 403B on Sunday, Sept. 28th! Hope to see there! Tell all your friends!

F*CK BILLIONAIRES (my 300 pg FULL COLOR graphic novel) is fully drawn & I’m waist deep in coloring it. PREORDERS are still open! In the meantime, @theletterhack.bsky.social makes a cameo appearance in the book! (These colors still in progress!) PREORDER LINK: www.kickstarter.com/projects/f-c...

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

As the father of an autistic child, I really gotta say release the Epstein files.

This isn't getting enough attention. You can't spread your efforts out. Too little impact. But if you pick off one or two to start, the rest see that you're serious and you might not even have to go after them.

I love those old DC digests and the idea of one featuring Cave Carson is just— Wait. Wait. WAIT. Oh…

Happy fall! The first issue of The Eavesdrop is now live. 🌱 This season, we're talking about Beginnings--everything from fears & joys to momentum & logistics. We discuss the hows and whys of writing, including: How do you know for sure that the beginning of a novel is right? Or right enough for now?

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

See, now you don’t even need to read this editorial. You’re welcome.

Disney backing down after less than a week of economic protest proves, once again, that our fiscal power is our greatest strength. I am once again BEGGING @mcuban.bsky.social to team up with Gates, Soros, and other somewhat-reasonable billionaires to fund a national strike fund... 1/2

Sure wish Bobby Jr. would stop trying to fuck with my son's life and spend some time figuring out what the living fuck is wrong with Trump instead.

The pressure on Disney worked: Now turn it up on your local Sinclair affiliate station. Look ‘em up, call their switchboard, email their GM. Turn ‘em off! Sinclair is in the MONEY making business. Take that away they’re just a bunch of greedy, rich assholes who hate working people.

Some takeaways from ABC/Disney backtracking on Kimmel: 1) Corps only care about $$ SCOTUS says money is speech. So use your voice! Boycotts work. Collective action works! 2) A huge amount of energy went into helping Kimmel. We need that same energy for book bans & attacks on marginalized creators.

Autism doesn’t need to be cured.

Trump is calling autism “out of control” No… Autism stigma is out of control Ableism is out of control Inaccessibility to basic healthcare and support is out of control

These people are fucking wusses and we need to be treating them accordingly.

Tylenol lawsuit in five... four... three...

The president, flanked by RFK Jr and Dr. Oz, is spewing a torrent of absolute dangerous nonsense about autism, vaccines, and Tylenol.

I have the feeling that Tylenol's lawyers are about to give Trump and Co. a big headache.

This autism press conference is an insult to science and medicine. It is a bunch of shameless male quacks shoveling bullshit at pregnant women, families and people with autism. This is a historic embarrassment for America and it is wildly dangerous.

Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru two pack, $55.94 at Walmart

As @anildash.com said recently in regards to Apple and Tim Cook: "There's no point in having fuck-you money in the bank if you never say 'fuck you!'"

A little wisdom from #alanmoore's BBC writing course this morning...

Tomorrow RFK Jr and Trump plan to announce their “big news” about autism. Nothing they do is rooted in science, disability awareness or common decency. Remember to protect your digital space. Safeguard your spoons. Check on one another. Lean into the community for support

If, like me, you are a mother who took tylenol at some point during pregnancy and have a child with neurodivergency, please remember during any fake science announcements today that fake science doesn’t become more real just when it’s directed at our most vulnerable pressure points. 💙

I’m now offering one on one comics creation classes!

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

Nobody rocks down to Electric Avenue anymore and that's sad.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Not great. What does this man think of himself? Does he go home happy? Does he fancy that he's a tough guy? Job well done? What creates an insecure weakling like this dude? All of 'em really. Yeah, this is not great.

A phenomenally, tragically underrated series. And the only time I can think of where someone took a Grant Morrison concept and ran with it in a way that honored the original, but also blazed a new trail. Great stuff.

This is (*ahem*) SUPER cool!

I had a dream last night that I was opening a bar, which is hilarious because I'm not a big drinker. Anyway, this bar served everything EXCEPT for beer. Because I really dislike the smell and taste of beer. It was called "Bar Without Beer." And in my dream, people kept ordering Blue Moon... 1/

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

I keep thinking about this Jimmy Kimmel situation and all I can say is release the Epstein files, motherfucker.

i really hope it sticks now for any lost young buckaroos who find something interesting about a libertarian trot or similar way: these people have been fakin it the whole time. none of them actually care about free speech. they are either: 1 embarrassed conservatives or 2 dummies

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

No one tell the MAGA conspiracy wing that their hero Brendan Carr, FCC commissioner and Kimmel-slayer, *loves* 5G so much. You can see him and his attempted beard right here on his FCC bio, right next to his career-defining role as "the FCC's 5G crusader." www.fcc.gov/about/leader...

The crazy thing about our current moment is that all it takes is a few key people to stand up and be counted to change things. By and large, these people are wealthy and powerful. And yet — to a man — they all are cowards.

There's a lot to respond to and promote in terms of breaking Trump down, but this is a very simple, very quantifiable win for Democrats. Every single day, no matter what other horror they are decrying, they should also mention "Groceries cost X on January 19 and they cost Y today." Done and done.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

Who ARE these chucklefucks??? (Rhetorical question. I know their names are right there.)

I will not be lectured about political violence by the people who’ve been committing it and fomenting it since Oklahoma City.

Looking to buy a very slim men's wallet. The sort of thing that holds a few cards and a few bills. No folding, please. I've had this one for years and would like something similar. Bonus points for RFID protection!
