Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. Sen Elissa Slotkin broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

Forty years ago, the military realized that having an officer corps that was mostly white and an enlisted corps that was mostly not-white was a problem. The spent 40 years identifying and recruiting bright motivated POC into the officer corps to rectify that situation. Hegseth undid it in months.

It's a well known fact that Trump has been doing speed since the 80s. Open secret.

Again, I'm compelled to say that several years ago I wrote a piece for the NYT about me and my dad's shared love of Enya. In it, I mentioned that her music has been known to bring my father to tears and the fact-checking was so rigorous that they called my own dad - twice - to ask if this was true.

#LetterboxdFriday! #LastFourWatched Weird time on LB the last few days. Got two strange comments on my CREMATOR post. One, I'm pretty sure was an expression of mental illness, the other seemed a pretty big reader comprehension issue. Hate it when people make it less fun. Still my fav place to hang

It's Thursday. My enemies are in power. I'm drunk and high and watching music on YouTube. A thread? Start with Cryptic Shift in a performance from 4 months ago... love y'all. Maybe I'll stick to all angry music from released in 2026? That sounds like a plan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cRm...

Q: Is the public going to learn the identities of the men who abused the girls in the Epstein files? Acting AG Todd Blanche: Like, what does that mean? I don't understand what that means. FFS ….what a circus 🙄

Ok, sitting down to sign these comics for all the retailers that joined us on our Hab promotional zoom call! Tha k you so much for participating! Let's get to it.

When I was a teenager in the 1970s, goofy books like this were MONSTER hits. GNOMES came out in 1976, from MY publisher Abrams. It sold over a million copies that year! Created by Dutch writer Wil Huygen & artist Rien Poortvliet, any mall bookstore would have piles of them prominently displayed.

Universe, let this man walk safely and find some kind port in these hard times, and perhaps one day grant us all more sanity than we have today

There’s a castle in my story and I’m drawing it over and over until it’s the right castle.

Advance copy of THE JUNIPER LODGE! So exciting for me.

"City of Dreams". A commissioned illustration I drew for @niedermeyer.online a while ago. Still one of my favorite pieces! Haven't shared it here on it's own yet and thought I should! Closeups will be in the comments.

That’s one hell of a cover…..

DON’T lose sight of (3), (4). There will be dozen op-eds when Trump loses abt “SCOTUS finds its independence” or such nonsense. Think Roberts was often good at producing just enough outcomes like this to maintain a favorable narrative while consistently doing real harm to democracy. Don’t bite.

Four shorts written and directed by Wolfgang von Chmielewski, shot on Super 8, without dialog, starring Diana Rigg as essentially Emma Peel together tell the story of killer doll wielding assassins. Rumored to be made for German gas stations at the time. I shit you not. Minikillers 1969 #filmsky

1. Unconstitutional. 2. All state admin's love mail-in-voting. Even GOP led ones. It makes the entire daunting process of running a state-wide election much easier for all involved. 3. Will he also deny absentee ballots? So military don't get to vote in home state when away fighting his wars?

I am pretty jazzed about this. From the man who essentially defined liminal horror for the first internet generation.

I've retweeted this before, but I love it so much.

Trans rights are human rights. Respecting ALL human rights fully and completely is the only thing that will save us as a people and a species. Anything less makes an entire society complicit in murder and degradation. Which is what we, obviously, currently and historically are.

In retrospect this is very funny

Nobody made animation like Faith and John Hubley. Their films feel raw and natural -- with unscripted voices and freeform artwork. They were pioneers of indie animation. In our latest issue, we offer an intro and viewing guide to their work: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/truth-and-...

Terrorist isn't a word. It's a cat call. It's a legal designation that allows you to dehumanize and murder with impunity. Anyone who knowingly and intentionally kills an unarmed civilian is a terrorist... or no one is.

Today’s practice. Start training at the new part-time job this week, will be pretty busy. Trying to fill more free time with art. #art #sketch #illustration #face

A warcrime. Another marker suggesting we're close to the edge of global conflict is that the rules of engagement, POW & civilian treatment that were instated by omnilateral commission after WWII, and that have helped keep us out of global conflict ever since, are being ignored.

Brigitte Helm in Metropolis. There is an aspect of silent era cinema that is so purely visual and so purely perfectly constructed and formally extraordinary. Look at these shapes and this composition. It is dance and design and photography. It's pure, pure cinema. It is art.

so awesome

Pssst… Trump, his cronies, and his rapture boy Mike Johnson want to privatize TSA and dismantle and defund DHS in accordance with Project 2025.

I just want you all to know that I've been wearing pants today for longer than I have in weeks. I do not love it.
