Gee, thanks "teach the dems a lesson voters." 😡😡😡😡

We went from "armed gunman mere seconds away from shooting the president is killed by Secret Service" to "guy with a shotgun falls down on a different floor well outside the entrance of the ballroom and we can't find the bullets because that just happens sometimes" awfully fast.

It isn’t close.

I keep saying this, but I think that we need to confront the fact that we don’t actually have any control over law-enforcement in America. Not a single mayor or judge in this country has been willing to confront cops in their city directly and actually have them arrested for assaulting journalists.

I had another weird “this is a me thing realization” the other day. I’ve joked that Mississippi Burning has Lex Luthor & Norman Osborn in it. But, weirdly, so does A Time to Kill and American Beauty. Neat.

Any of my nerdy comics or music pals on here big fans of the Spin Doctors? I'm looking to put together a thing timed to the 35th anniversary of "Pocket Full of Kryptonite" later this year, and I'm wondering if there might be a fun collaborator or two out there.

HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of people are in the streets in DC as part of the #MayDay day of action and solidarity. We refuse to cooperate with a regime that is killing people, ignoring the law, and destroying our rights.

Bingo! It’s their common denominator.

Guys! GUYS! It's back! It's coming back!!! The single greatest literacy promotion in human history* is coming back! All you 80s and 90s kids know what's up! *(this point may be a little hyperbolic, but just a little) people.com/pizza-huts-b...

Bro Buzzfeed is looking for a project-based assistant video editor in California for freaking 12 dollars an hour Just looking at their list of responsibilities, they're asking for the equivalent of full-time work, AT THEIR LA OFFICE, on what I can only assume is a 1099, for TWELVE DOLLARS AN HOUR

Side note unrelated to Erin’s point: did you know that one of the redshirts who got killed at Terminus to prove the bad guys were a Very Serious Threat was Robin Lord Taylor, who would go on to do GREAT work on Gotham almost immediately after?

Rick is a massive asshole who makes a lot of bad decisions that gets a lot of people killed all while acting like he’s the smartest guy in the room so I say yes ACAB includes Rick Grimes.

So HE’s the one!

The writing was on the wall for Alex Cora but I’m honestly surprised the Red Sox fired Varitek. He was low enough in the pecking order that I would have thought his popularity would insulate him.

How often is he going to reuse this same gag?

HOLY FUCK

Once upon a time, I worked on a comic with @zdroberts.bsky.social and investigative journalist Greg Palast, who let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. contribute something and put his name on the cover. I still have a little box of them somewhere. I need to figure out what charity I can sell them to benefit.

CA will be happy to tell you: it's almost always a bluff. Unless of course you're an idiot on drugs like Elon

There is no reason to don a tuxedo and celebrate Trump, a racist wannabe tyrant. As much of the media parties with Donald Trump, you can support our work and help us keep standing up to the president. Read more: zeteo.com/p/trump-whit...

Fucking deranged. Who thinks like this?

These are all quotes from Frasier.

"Tyranny of Virtue" is such baby shit. "How dare you make me feel bad about liking and materially supporting the unethical thing I like" Play your regime propaganda if you must, but don't try to act like you're oppressed when people give you shit for it.

The wild reaction and incessant fan demands surrounding THE PITT Season 2 got me riled up, so I decided to take to @popheist.com and use this particular fandom moment to make a very important point about fiction. The Story Owes You Nothing.

I am looking for environmental artists, particularly people with a strong background in concept work for interior locations Atmospheric/ Liminal vibes appreciated You can apply by dropping your art in the replies, or send your portfolio to: [email protected] Humans only. no ai.

They're cowards for not doing this.

Hey, @russburlingame.com and I do a newsletter and podcast ECVPodcast.com. If you do a movie podcast we'd love to chat... especially if you're a fan of physical media. DM me if you'd ever want to cross-podcast.

Eric Clapton is an anti-vaxx crank with a history of racism (for which he has since apologized). He isn't a dedicated, gleeful bigot like JK Rowling, but my knee-jerk reaction is to turn him off. I tried to make a little sense of "good art from bad people," where the bad isn't so CAPITAL B.

Holy shit my years of media snobbery finally has scientific backing!

This story is actually way worse than the headline implies. Her stepson, an ex-cop, apparently used his connections to get her put in detention because he wants control of the estate and then lied about it under oath.

NICE FUKCIN' WEBSITE

MacFarlane: Are we to pretend we didn’t watch all that on television on January 6th? Did we not all see what happened at the Capitol? These vacating of convictions, these pardons, are communicating to the American people: do not believe your lying eyes
