I like those moments when Bugs Bunny lets the plucky wiseass facade slide, shouting things like "YOU FOOLS" and reminding us he is in fact an old, capricious trickster god capable of great wrath and fury toward the rash, brief mortals that dare cross him.

Very proud to announce the publication of my newest book TORN TEXTURES & HYBRID GLYPHS via the incredible @steelincisors.bsky.social Go get yourself a copy - support indie publishers… & read my new book! ❤️🌈🙏📚

I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist

We should all pay attention to what the radical right on X and other platforms are talking about this afternoon....of note, they are not talking about the school shooting in Colorado.

you can't keep calling twitter the nazi bar and then spend all night eulogizing a nazi on here

is it political violence when a trans woman dies because she was denied healthcare

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…

Google's search engine was the greatest information retrieval tool I'd ever experienced in my life. So many mysteries unraveled under the scrutiny of a few keystrokes. They lobotomized it *for this*.

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias

Without Warning." In UT, @kurtbusiek.bsky.social expanded a very minor character from Amazing Fantasy #15 into a cautionary tale about power and responsibility. The death of Sally Avril would reverberate to the end of this incredible run; it wasn't cheap. Read this aged six and it never left me.

Jack Kirby story from 1959 ("I Fought the Colossus," Strange Tales # 72) predicts AI would be developed by 2020 and that one major fear would be that it would start giving the wrong answers to questions and "wreck civilization." Gotta love the 1950s giant mainframes.

Rest in peace Eugen Gomringer (20 January 1925 – 21 August 2025), every concrete poet lives in his shadow...

Notably doesn't try to refute either of these true things (because they are true), but gets upset when you bring them up.

In 2013, Chilean zinester Natalia Matzner (aka Ratalia Espigadora) rode her bike and mobile zine library / book library across Chile. She held workshops and exhibitions as she went, using her Biblioteca Nómade (Nomad Library) to engage local communities in zine-making & self-publishing... #ZineHero

Stopping on the way home from an oil change to get a beer at Estabrook Park, since I worked so hard waiting on them to finish.

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end

it's a common thing for right wingers to attack a candidate for being too white or too popular with white people, as they were doing with zohran until yesterday. but they always get bored and need to go back to racist shit as soon as possible.

The CIA of a nation famous for rejecting a monarchy couped a democratically elected leader (Mossadegh) to install a monarchy in 1953. Because one was going to nationalize oil, the other gave Westerners 50% control of it.
