Battlebots sounds like it would be a mess of a show to watch, but the latest series has to some of the cleanest, most entertaining, sports adjacent TV series this side of wrestling. Shame it most likely was unceremoniously canceled because it was too niche for corporate.

It's not an *honor* to have your book banned.

If you write/draw comics, librarians and the communities they serve want to chat with you about your work! You can do this digitally if that suits your needs if travel is not your thing! Some may let you sell merch! Let us know if you want to connect!

Perfect/awful timing since Banned Book Week is next week and just a reminder: banning/hiding/removing access to a book is always terrible since the lowest barrier to entry is now gone.

Hi. I know there’s a lot of crap going on but book bans are still happening. Get angry.

If there’s one thing that definitely works it’s mandating culture from the top down. And if you don’t believe that, well, I’m ordering you to

Skies of Arcadia might have a story that is a bit over the top, but there really hasn’t been a pirate game that feels as fresh or as well rounded as this one.

Everyone knows the true cause of the increase of autism diagnosis is due to the demand and the success of high speed rail.

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing. Not distressing. Full tilt disturbing.

My semi-regular reminder: NYC Public Library Action Network needs your help. We need people in each of the 51 districts of the city to set up a meeting with their City Council member to discuss our public libraries. Sign up and we'll be in touch with more. Share with your NYC friends.

THEY BREAK UPON US

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Good morning, what can you do if you live in NYC? You can commit to talking to your City Council member about our public libraries. Please sign up and we will get back to you re: what to do: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Scott gets his autism diagnosis and Wolverine gets his ADHD diagnosis. The combined meds and therapy improve their confidence and competency to the point where the comic comes to an end.

Counterpoint: No.

"There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People." Umberto Eco, ‘Ur-Fascism’

The Guild of Decency and Decorum looted this guy so fast, you’d think he was a raid boss. When from Comrade-at-Arms to Comrade-At-Arms-Length in less time than it takes bananas to spoil.

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

Everyone who thinks "if I was in power I could do it differently" on some level rejects the fundamental anarchist insight that there is no way to come to power in this system without being or becoming the kind of person who reproduces it

No Fedposting.

Honestly Millar is lucky Eminem doesn’t give a shit about him

Some of you guys act like you’re too good to read bad comics. You dudes are missing out on some quality mid

Arguably, you could extend this to all of the major conservative talking heads. Media is their release of their intrusive thoughts.

This reads like a gas leak.

The ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter is two-thirds of the way funded!! Just gotta keep pushing a bit more and we'll be there! Appreciate y'all showin' up!

All that’s missing is the footnote and we would have a complete Chicago Style citation.

Finally, I want to encourage leftists to seek seats on their local library boards whether elected or appointed. This was the impetus for forming FTP and it’s still our core goal. Our next cohort for people interested in running or seeking appointment kicks off in Feb 2026.

Beating the bratwurst charges.

I say this extremely seriously: one of the main skills children have to learn to be adults is to do things they *don't* find interesting. This is both because many necessary things in life are boring and because sometimes interesting things take time and effort first.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

While Fountas and Pinnell’s graduating reading levels are a good guide for educators, just being a good parent and at the very least aware of what you child likes to read is a great way to start building literacy for kids and reinforcing literacy for teens.

The time honored tradition of getting a new PC and finding what I can delete and turn off before the bloat eats up all the memory continues unabated.

And to limit this to purely partisan politics would be a failure because every social gain in the 20th and 21st century came from people building communities to pressure anyone who didn’t value them to give a damn by showing in some way, shape, or form that they mattered.

Out of all the movies to sort of predict the future, Back to the Future Part 2 was not on my list.

And yet Dog Man, with it’s very basic character design, frequent “mistakes”, and limited shading is one of the most popular series amongst our library kids because it serves as a the perfect model for kids that want to get into comics that may not have the best drawing skills.
