I finally got round to reading The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor by @shaenon.bsky.social & Christopher Baldwin! It was a very fun MG graphic novel that somehow blends gothic romance tropes, sci-fi & comedy. #kidlit #booksky #comics

In yet ANOTHER decision by a judge trying to unstick Alex Jones' abuse of the legal process to prevent us from paying the Sandy Hook families, Texas judge Maya Gamble said Alex Jones has conducted "outrageous discovery abuse, tampering with evidence, and continuous, callous disrespect" for the law.

They thought they had him with cywyddau but they had no idea how much sauce he was bringing

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

We have records of diabetes diagnoses going back 2,500 years. We only developed a reliable treatment (insulin) 100 years ago. Now we might have a cure. What an amazing thing to get to witness.

I'm old enough to remember that when George Bush insulted The Simpsons and Dan Quayle insulted Murphy Brown, it reflected very badly on them and made them look like out of touch, thin-skinned babies who should have been doing a million other things than complaining about popular television shows.

A Florida wildlife biologist was summarily fired for *reposting* an Instagram joke about Charlie Kirk’s death. LibsofTikTok complained. A state official’s false statements in legal proceedings led to sanctions. And now the state will settle by paying her $485,000. www.aclufl.org/press-releas...

I've been going around like Homer with a class to teach, saying, "I just signed a two-book deal" It sounds so much like something a real writer would do

IT'S ANNOUNCEMENT TIME LET'S GOOOO

Great news!

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

Such a cathartic final episode.

Correct

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

Every official who participated in this corrupt DOJ process should face termination or impeachment, followed by a full criminal referral for prosecution. Public trust demands consequence.

AIPAC, Trump, and the Epstein Class spent a record-breaking $30 plus million to unseat Thomas Massie who broke with Trump on 2 major issues: 1) Epstein Transpareny 2) No more wars It's a cult.

Comics friends, if this account just followed you, block them. It's an AI platform for "comics" -

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Half of Americans report being more concerned than excited about AI, and they’re particularly worried about its impact on creativity, mental health, and people’s jobs. trib.al/ad6qRtC

@shaenon.bsky.social asked me for a list of 50 of my favorite cartoon characters and drew all of them partying to celebrate my 50th birthday! Just wait until I turn 200!

"I need AI art, otherwise I can't make my project." Randy Savage cut a promo with nothing but a coffee creamer he swiped from craft services. Stop making excuses and do better.

Wow! Jasmine Crockett just endorsed Xavier Becerra for governor, and I was here to see it. Amazing morning. [Dulan’s Restaurant]

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

The Best Comics Related Book category in the 2026 Eisners is STACKED.

This is easily the saddest time in American history. The absolute worst people are systematically destroying the country, and our system is completely failing to stop them.

they are getting rewarded for shitting on the floor of the capitol, how's that for a metaphor

Trump's DOJ is funneling your tax dollars to a slush fund to pay off Trump's buddies & allies, like rioters who stormed the Capitol & assaulted police on Jan 6th.

An outrageous abuse of power.

Trump is turning the Treasury into a personal checking account for political loyalists and insurrectionists. While Americans get crushed by rising costs, Trump is creating a $1.8B taxpayer-funded slush fund that would reward Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted police officers and stormed the Capitol.

Trump & GOP say there’s no money for childcare, healthcare, Medicaid, Medicare, lowering costs of gas & groceries BUT they will use our hard earned money to pay off Jan. 6th rioters who attacked the Capitol and line the pockets of Trump’s rich friends.

And a joyous Miracle Monday to all who observe.

Happy International Museum Day! We're thrilled to have been showcasing and celebrating original comics and animation art for 40-plus years! Big shout-out to all of you cultural institutions out there working to educate and entertain the public at large!! #museumday

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU starts as a movie about a black guy who gets ahead in telemarketing because he can do a white voice, and by the end it's about a revolution led by human-horse hybrids called Equisapiens. Now Boots Riley has made a second movie.

pour one out for a real one

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

it took this country five decades for the surviving interned Japanese-Americans who were deprived of absolutely everything and imprisoned for no cause to get $20,000 in reparations per person. we are currently awarding the guys who did the Beer Hall Putsch five years ago orders of magnitude more

Trump dropped his IRS lawsuit, days after reports of a settlement giving Trump $1.7 BILLION to dole out to allies accused of breaking the law during the Biden admin. Those are YOUR taxpayer dollars. We submitted FOIA requests to get to the bottom of this agreement.

Holding my breath watching the Cavs game and not relaxing unless they've got a twenty-point lead with under a minute left.

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.
