This hit the same way as the question I ask my students and present to my editors weekly… Whose future are we creating? Whose progress are we constructing? Who has a right to belong in the future, is intertwined to who has the right to the present and our accurate telling of the past.

Education is the enemy of fascism.

THE NEW SPACE AGE! A new sci-fi meets magic series from Kenny Parker and Mike Becker. Out 12/17 from Mad Cave! And a cover by me!

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Some news: yesterday was my last at Rolling Stone. For now, I'm going solo, doing all my TV reviewing, recapping, etc., at my newsletter. I hope you'll consider subscribing. Many more details here:

Not Strange New Worlds hinting at a Star Trek - Doctor Who continuity… God I love Pelia

Again, when Black Women, Black Women…😍

Yup

Happy Birthday to 🌸Ms. Marsha P Johnson🌸

Notable that AI tools could not even generate accurate meeting summaries beyond “a couple hundred words.” That’s useless for minutes. And for lit review they *completely* shit the bed. But these aren’t people’s favorite tasks & AI is way quicker, so many will keep using them, truth be damned.

It's the way everyone hopscotches right over this for me.

I am Le tired…

At a time when we have a president who wants to halt Black progress, silence Black voices, and erase Black history… I’m thankful for this 🙏🏽

Y’all don’t understand, refs and digital assets are disappearing daily or being buried by algorithms and AI… right now books and physical references are the only solid resources and many are costly or inaccessible. Months after getting solid references websites are now unreachable or just gone.

obscene, racist, and evil

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me. #pediatriccancer #cancermom

Happy birthday to the late Robin Williams.

Heading to nerd Mecca yet once again…

Yes! Everyone go support @henrybarajas.bsky.social!

Liked @pornsak.bsky.social's "Horizon Experiment" or "The Good Asian?" This sounds like something to check out. www.comicsbeat.com/nows-not-a-g...

Me looking at the first full pdf of this book …

The 2019 series “Superman Smashes the Klan” by Gene Luen Yang with art by Gurihiru is loosely based on a 1946 storyline from the Superman radio show. In both stories, #Superman defends a Chinese immigrant family against the Ku Klux Klan, powerfully rejecting nativist bigotry. 1/9

Update, post Rosie O’Donnell, I’ve plugged back in

Has anyone else had to unplug their gaming consoles because of the compulsive need to escape has become problematic? No? Just me then.

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

But can we get a game with just Higgs and Red Samuri? #DeathStranding2

Octavia E. Butler was very intentional about setting the modern-day scenes in KINDRED around the Bicentennial. That’s why John Jennings and @drdamianduffy.bsky.social kept those scenes intact in the graphic novel adaptation. @colemanthe2nd.bsky.social #July4th buff.ly/1vXXiMr

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

A new Graphic Novel from @oni-press.bsky.social chronicling the life of Opal Lee and the history of Juneteenth is scheduled to release on February 3, 2026 from @angeliqueroche.bsky.social, @lgions.bsky.social, Millicent Monroe, and Bex Glendining. Details ⬇️ www.comicbookyeti.com/post/oni-pre...

I mean 250 years ain’t a bad length of time for an experiment to last … even a great one

This is a defining moment for the Democratic party. We need to stand against war with Iran. I am sending a Dear Colleague letter tonight asking every House member to sponsor my & Rep. Thomas Massie WPR to stop this war.

Now is the time that all of this can still be atopped… we are way too far down this road but we are not too far for deescalation. But it require every voice that is still pretending this doesn’t affect them and they are not the targets… “the others”

Holy smokes!

The wild thing is that people don’t see how much everyday anger and hate they just throw around at the most minor things without understanding that aggressive and negative energy reproduces exponentially. Mix that with no or piss poor communication and honestly it’s fatal.

Snuck out to see Sinners this afternoon… and whew lawd… First impressions, a script and film that personifies original storytelling. This piece worked double time playing in the gray, waltzing gracefully through various cultural traditions, remaining historically reverent without compromise...
