Reminds me of the quote: Tell me, brave captain, why are the wicked so strong? / How do the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves the porch light on?" From Tom Waits’ 1980 song "Mr. Siegal". Cribbed from the movie, "Abandon Ship", aka "Seven Waves From Today."

If 2026 had a theme song. youtu.be/yzLT6_TQmq8?...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I wonder if the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (DDIS) had a copy of the Epstein files?

Hohoho! I drew this year's holiday card for my art rep, Felix Comic Art. I wanted the recipients to get something that looked like a piece of vintage original art, but also couldn't help poking some fun at Felix's love for Dark Knight Returns.

Happy 76th Birthday, Tom Waits!

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Two of my favorite celebrities. I've been searching for that Big Time t-shirt since I saw her wear it on "Hot Ones" the other day. It's probably a collector's item, though.

Epstein's Zebra

This is a great recommendation. While many of her songs act as a preservation of what may have become lost history, they're as alive as yesterday. Her documentary series on PBS is well worth anyone's time.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Is there anybody I can vote for that isn't an establishment tool? My UPS driver? He seems cool. The $134 Million Firm that sold the myth of John Fetterman open.substack.com/pub/bullhorn...

What's going on at the @jacobinmag.bsky.social? Imperfect is having a DUI and a shoplifting incident not being a former Blackwater operative with a Nazi tattoo. Being charismatic and working with your hands doesn't excuse that.

Museums are,for the most part, the few physical locations for ephemeral things like stories. They’re an experience fans can share outside of a book.

"The Saint" Roger Moore is the best Roger Moore. It's a show that deserves more visibility.

Wu Tang is for the English majors.

When I was researching my book Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India, I learned of a 1000-year-old myth about Roman tech being used to build killer robots to guard the Buddha's remains in Pataliputra, and a Hungarian folklorist read my book & got excited about it, & she managed to dig up a🧵(1/3)

Everyone, we even tried to make it as quick to digest as possible, but this country has a perpetual "Someone Will Save Us" mindset and can't be bothered

This is one of my favorite pieces he did, because it implied that there was far more than a monster movie going on. It created a mythological, occult element to the aliens. They shouldn't just be extraterrestrial beings or the result of experiments, they should've been something far worse.

I'm with Popeye.

This is another example of the generosity of wrestlers. This is great. I was even worried about her a couple of times.

Shout out to Sarah, who is correct. Fuck all other planets, Earth number #1

The band is The Coup from Oakland, CA.

Amazing story that sounds like a movie.

Sigh. Squicky people on the internet are at it again about the alleged old days of teen and tween brides, so this is my cue to bring out the graph showing that the median age for first marriage in the US has never been below 20 for the woman from 1890 to the present.

Reminder about the reason for the season. Don’t buy into yet another commercialized holiday

This is…kind of blowing my mind today? I know some similar French rules for adjectives but never thought about the English ones…

Time for the annual schoolhouse rock style history lesson about slavery and the origins of Juneteenth from The Roots

Lynda Sayce plays a piece of lute music that was recently discovered in an archival document at the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Since the handwritten lute tablature was folded and reused as scrap paper, it's problaby the first time in 400 years that this music is heard.

More suppressed American history brought to light. What they all seem to have in common is that they want to contribute to the Commons.

If you know, you know.

This clip really needs more eyeballs. Also, I could listen to Dan Ackroyd break down technical specs all day. He’s an acknowledged master of this.
