I know we're not lacking for indicators that shit has gone entirely off the rails, but listicles like "These are the States Where its Legal to Sleep in Your Car." seem especially dystopian.

Of course it's on Archive dot org.

Shout out to the kid in Cabela's who said, and I quote: "WHOA! I've never seen a man who looks like that!"

Imagine actually making Misery, or The Princess Bride. Imagine the same person making This Is Spinal Tap and A Few Good Men. Imagine in your whole career making a hit as resonant as Ghosts of Mississippi, or When Harry Met Sally, or Stand By Me. You'd weep if you made just one thing that good.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Rob Reiner has brought me a great deal of joy, often against my will, which is really saying something. This is awful. But what he gave us was brilliant and beautiful.

i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that rob reiner is a meaningful part of the reason i have the federal right to marry today

Authorities are treating the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer as an apparent homicide, with one of Reiner's family members being questioned in connection with their deaths. Story: www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Jesus God.

every republican health care plan is like they were just taking suggestions at an improv show and they’re trying to string them together. “give me...a place you buy things" “give me…a place you keep money" “give me…a kind of scam"

Remembering that comics legend that is JOHN BUSCEMA on what would have been his 98th birthday. I know he worked in so many great Marvel characters but for me he will always been remembered for his stellar run on CONAN! Lucky to have this page of his (inked here by 1 of my fave inkers, Tony DeZuniga)

Ah, so it had nothing to do with coming here the "right" way.

Seems like men mostly get paired with robots.

This is probably futile, but I thought I'd ask #cat bluesky. I recently brought this lovely lady cat into my home, but today at the vet I found out she's #FIV+, while my other two cats are not. I'm reading up, but I'd still like to hear about anyone's experiences.

All 50,000 panels of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt has been fully digitized. You can search Duane's name and see the panel he made. And someone else made a panel for him, too. www.aidsmemorial.org/interactive-...

"Reverse migration" might be one of the most terrifying phrases I've ever heard.

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

American Movie is my reset button whenever I feel I don't have any drive or passion anymore, Mark Borchardt's singular ambition despite everything (including common sense) telling him to stop is infectious and never fails to set me back on track. Takes place on thanksgiving too so points for that

We gotta normalize responding to bullshit with "dude who fucking cares"

I know this is very "man" of me, but I wish that I had someone who could help me clean and organize my house. I obviously don't have the $$$ for this, but I have a half-finished office, empty bottom book shelves, art to put up, and organizational skills which can best be described as glacial.

Bad UI became the standard at some point, but it happened so gradually, I can't even nail down when. Anyway, if I hear "it runs fine in Chrome" one more time, I'm going to [as I assume I now have to] book a clocktower on AirBNB.

If my house was haunted, I would not want a medium. I would prefer the job be well done.

It's me!

This is amazing

If a Transformer tells a human a really funny joke, can they be charged with Vehicular Manslaughter?

In the 1950s psychiatrist Fredric Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent incited a moral panic that nearly destroyed the US comics industry. Professor Carol Tilley, U of I, is the academic who went thru his papers and proved Wertham had faked most of his data. And Carol is a hilarious comics nerd!

Everyone has that one story they hate to hear. BECAUSE IT'S LIES!! LIES!!! 🤬 What comes to mind for YOU? We want to hear it! Iron Circus Comics is taking submissions for Lie Machine shortly! Get your noggins thinking and then submit here on December 1st! 🧠 ironcircus.com/lie-machine/

But just in general, Hazbin Hotel tickles that part of me that read Squee and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and the Crow in high school, and secretly wondered where that aesthetic had gone.

Anyway, that Alastor's soul belonged to Rosie was truly a delight of a payoff, and made me immensely happy looking back after wondering why he was so kind to her when he showed only disdain or disinterest towards the other overlords. And why she would want to help him conquer anything.

I love Hazbin Hotel by the way. Much like when I discovered Wynonna Earp, I have done zero research into the fandom or tried to join any of the places where the fandom gathers, because I am genuinely gunshy about all fandom related places. Part of this is because I still have a pinky toe in the...

I really hope the Skull Girls folks and the Hazbin Hotel folks are talking about making video games.

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

I know a lot is going on, but I would really appreciate a share. I'm still waiting on a check and I'm wrapping up the rest of my small gigs this week. If you need any art and you like what I do, please consider contacting me. I'd like to think my budget is reasonable, and I put out some good art

I stood next to James Kochalka at a urinal once and now, 22 years later, here he clearly stealing my likeness.

Remember when it was "Don't be Evil?"

I did not have "Not Like Us" on daily rotation for an entire year for the American media to start carrying water for middle-aged dudes creeping on high school sophomores.

Stayed hush because I wanted folks to feel their feelings and also not feed the political junkie I've done my best to keep on its chain. I think most of the Zohran Mamdani and Abigail Spanberger hot takes and questions about the "soul of the party" and the infighting between socialists and...

I am 40 years old. Cat distribution system has just given me a 3rd. I guess this is the universe's way of telling me I'll never have a relationship with a woman again. Anyway, she's a gorgeous long haired tortie, but not settled in enough for pictures.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Let me explain the kind of person I am. I will buy a "Mike Haggar for President" pin because it is unquestionably awesome. 3 minutes before putting it on my coat or bag, I will then freeze wondering "But do I actually align with Mike Haggar's goals and values?"

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

This is what they've done.

This is what they've done.

Today I tried to explain to someone who "only finds things scary that could really happen to you" that outlandish or supernatural tales are just parables of the natural fears we all have that we can better and more safely wrap our minds around. It... did not... go... well.
