Headed to LA for www.comiccreatorsblockparty.com/2025 See you there?

OK 'just' entered my Old Fart Stage. Listening to the "new music" spotify sent me and every single one was some kind of narcissistic psychoballad sung in that unavoidable little girl whisper. Am I just out of touch that I find all this music homogenized to the max? Are they all AI?

Happy to report that President Trump is ready to get his eyebrows threaded.

Someone’s smoke detector battery is dying and it has been beeping for five hours. Mamdani must do something to end this scourge!

In short, 24 headlines from the last 24 hours... [this is where you remember to BREATHE] (link in last alt-text)

feeling sorry for all the millionaires and billionaires who didn’t get to see this perfect NYC sunset because they fled the city forever today. 😞

If I ever run into one of the 6,300 people who voted for Eric Adams in the wild I am running the other way.

If there is one thing that makes me sad in today's hopeful morning it's this: Kamala lost because a lot of people would rather vote for someone they knew was a raving lunatic than a woman/woc. I think if Kamala had had more time to run a better campaign she might have won on the merits.

oh no please dont make the young, good looking, energetic politician the face of the franchise

one time pitcher john denny knocked reggie jackson down with a brushback pitch. next time up reggie blasted a moonshot home run off him. denny kept chirping at him as he rounded the bases and wouldn't stop, so reggie stepped on home, charged the mound and beat his ass. andrew cuomo is john denny

On another note, the cats won't drink out of the water fountain, presumably bc it tastes bad. I scrub it regularly with a toothbrush but it's quite a task. But look at this lengthy suggested maintenance - it's water for cats not a space launch. I may just go back to a bowl of water changed daily.

Quick reminder: NYC’s new First Lady, Rama Duwaji, is a cartoonist! www.comicsbeat.com/zohran-mamda...

CNN buried Mamdani’s speech for exactly this reason.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Important local races. The Lewiston mass shooting shocked people into common sense.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Dems in...array!

One last time: Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

This is an actual headline from the Onion.

Project 2025 authors struggling with their Nazi/Groyper problem—inside the building. What a year. 😬

First Monday without baseball. First Monday of time change so it's already getting dark.

Seriously, this is it. All politicians are image but the image of a typical New Yorker petting bodega cats as opposed to an authoritarian riding around in an SUV is no contest. The NYC I live in is a rainbow of skin colors, religions and incomes. Mamdani’s success is from reflecting that.

i owe so many video game designers an apology

I love how they always mention colorful hair in their targeted groups. Like hair dye is sedition now.

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh. These illustrations are from “Machinalia.” #historyofillustration

Pitchers and catchers are reporting in 100 days.

Well, that was a bummer.

Holeeeeee shit.

Unlike the Dodger’s keyboard wizard, the Bkue Jays organist (if it is a human) only knows how the play a single theme over and over and over…

Huge if true.
