I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Happy first day of Winter Solstice! And happy weekend of seeing a couple internet-manosphere douchebag losers get the snot beat out of them.

ICE whistles work.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

Everybody I know should be paid more and all the billionaires should be paid less.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.

The president’s remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast him as petty and callous.

Twice traveled in the USSR. Each time, US shootings were held up to me as proof of the danger of life in the West, of the failure of the democratic model. For ordinary Soviets, it was a reflexive defense to any criticism of their system..

While the mainstream discussions are depressingly about *how* best to remove and stop immigrants, it’s a revolutionary act nowadays to say that immigration is actually a positive thing and an essential component of a thriving country, so please join me in doing so!

We now know the real meaning of inconceivable.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

I'm excited to announce that I've accepted a comics co-editor position at @therumpus.net We're looking for original literary fiction and non-fiction comics that feel personal. Bonus if it's hand-lettered (the path to my heart) 😘 No AI Pays $100 therumpus.submittable.com/submit Pass it on!

I'm taking a vacation (not going anywhere tho') from Dec 24 thru Jan 4, and it's the first chunk of days off for me sine last X-Mas/New Years. I need more vacations... #MakeComics #FreelanceLife

The coddling of fascist man-children on the world stage should enrage everyone. Fuck FIFA.

if i worked in a White House with an elderly and ailing president who had a hard time staying awake, i would simply recommend against having 3 hour cabinet meetings that are boring af and pointless and best remembered for the fact said president is sleeping on camera

It's important to remember that when "journalists" don't defend their colleagues from Trump's attacks, the room is full of fascist creeps and bootlicks like this.

Oh hey hi, one of those “one in six people” here. I was working til 4am last night (this morning) & til 3am this past month. I’m pretty positive I work more than you two combined and making significantly less so get the FUCK out of here with your “they bring a culture of schemes & frauds & theft” 🖕🖕

Fuck you if you support him.

Definitely seconding this! Colorists and letterers are almost always hired after the writers and pencilers, so if you wanna work with someone specific, it truly doesn't hurt to ask your editor. I've gotten jobs based on artist or writer requests MULTIPLE times.

Remember NFTs? More techbro fad bullshit.

Fun, hand-lettered sound effect I did the other day. Fun fact: usually, the comicbook writer comes up with the sound effects (SFX), as was the case here, but some writers will ask me to make up my onomatopoeia. And yes, I do sound out the SFX as I work. 😊

Yet he apparently had no problem supporting Trump when Trump mocked the disability of journalist Serge Kovaleski. I’m glad he’s taking a stand now, but it’s sad that some of these Republicans only show some kind of courage when Trump’s bullshit affects them directly.

This is why folks call it a tool of fascism. It generates fear and distrust, which benefits fascist liars.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

One of my all-time favorite songs, circa 1995: "I Can Dream" by Skunk Anansie!

GOP crimes: ICE/DHS violating due process rights, human trafficking, DOGE killing thousands cutting USAID and stealing citizens’ data, extra-judicial  executions of alleged drug traffickers, manipulating an old man with dementia to push thru their fascist agenda. Just scratching the surface.

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI. Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech! On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill. We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives! Rsvp link in thread!

Every year, I have a list of holiday films and specials that I like to watch between Thanksgiving and New Year's, starting with one of my all-time favorite movies, 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles'. Man, I miss John Candy.

The adventures of a precocious 6-year-old and his stuffed tiger debuted on November 18, 1985. NPR's Renee Montagne spoke with the comic strip's editor, Lee Salem, in 2005.

If you start by saying how many people you are going to arrest, the entire operation should be enjoined. That’s not how anything should work.

Not to peer pressure or anything, but I hear all the cool kids are placing the first speaker in the panel on the left. Just to like keep the reading order clear. Sounds pretty rad. You wanna try it?

I swear, centrists and “moderates” will be the death of our republic.

John Green is a man after my own heart.

Another Alice classic, from Archer Mag; one of her most in intimate pieces and one I revisit often as I think about relationships to the body and how disabled people are medicalized and desexualised. 'I was a sexy beast that enjoyed myself thoroughly on my own terms.'

Alice's words and voice are everywhere. In her books, essays, articles, interviews, and media appearance. You don't have to go far to find them, and they will transport you to worlds beyond your imagining.

It's a high time for the direct market, but non-licensed comics — i.e. creator-owned + other original comics — are going through a "wildly unpredictable" period. In this week's feature, I talked to creators about navigating this uncertain time, what's fueling it, and how it's affecting their plans.

As a kid, I learned I could be "too much" - too talkative, too quiet, too sensitive, too slow, too excited, etc. It helped that I liked solitude and could keep myself occupied. Becoming disabled at 20, I learned I could be "too much" and "not enough," in addition to the "too much" I already was. 😀

Love this movie.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Millions of Americans have been struggling for weeks because of the government shut down, all for nothing, thanks to “moderate“ Dems caving to the GOP fascists, and the failed “leadership“ of Chuck Schumer. Moderates and centrists enable the destruction of our democratic constitutional republic.
