Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

online friendship is crazy. like yeah we go way back. we talk about weird shit exclusively and we've seen each other in person between zero and four times

Grasping hands clawing up from Hell to clutch at a world not big enough to go around seems a bit on-the-nose but okay

Guess Who’s Back Today I have encountered the boys who are back in town and who was asking how you was and where you could be found forgive me I told them you were livin downtown so cool, so red-hot

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, prolific actor known for his roles in “Mortal Kombat,” “Last Emperor” and “Man In The High Castle,” has died at 75

You haven’t heard the Hallelujah chorus until you’ve heard it blasted in a dentist’s office at ten in the morning at a volume that threatens to blow the room apart like a flimsy cardboard box

The enemy is always aristocracy. It changes shape to fit whatever society we’re in, but the desire for it is endemic for certain types of people. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

I really like CHEETAH & CHESHIRE ROB, ETC. except for the nagging notion that Cheshire is wildly out of character. She’s usually a complete sociopath with no maternal instincts whatsoever. This version is fun, but feels like someone else.

I'll probably post this at least once more at the beginning of the month, but ...Jim passed away yesterday morning. Please, if you have the means to help them with their funeral expenses it would be a big help. He literally went from I should get this checked out diagnosis and decline in a month

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

[stares across the Thanksgiving dinner table; Ennio Morricone musical sting] AI “art” is the logical endpoint of mashup culture

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

Ebenezer Scrooge… tonight you will be visited by thir13en ghosts…

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Pray That Your Loneliness May Spur You Into Finding Something to Live For, Great Enough to Die For, Charlie Brown

What’s the Most You Ever Lost On a Coin Toss, Charlie Brown?

Welcome to the Desert of the Real, Charlie Brown

So the thing about people in positions of power or seeking positions of power trying to change their racist and abusive history is that the VERY FIRST STEP to actually changing is giving up the power. If they still seek power, they have not yet begun to change.

@johnrogers.bsky.social It never fails.

These people think the New Deal was about giving a handout to working Americans, when it was primarily about FDR keeping the necks of his millionaire friends out of the guillotine

I think it’s nice they’re giving book deals to discarded freshman English poetry notebooks

Superman (2025)

It’s been pouring rain all day here in the desert, which suggests something different about the climate. Something… altered

But whomst shall think of the wood chippers?

Watson was deeply influential to me as a genomicist, but not how you may assume From stealing Rosalind Franklin's lab notes to his frequent sexist & racist bioessentialist comments later in life, he showed how the scientific community would still worship a terrible person Don't idolize bad people

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

ICE Agent, 7-Year-Old Both Wearing Same ‘Military Commando’ Halloween Costume

Hey, if you're planning on dressing up as an ICE agent for Halloween because scaring vulnerable people is funny to you, there is still time for you to change your mind about the worst fucking idea you've ever had.

SCA, this is your time to shine! Start cooking for people who are hungry!

Sometimes they’re really just for me

Me: My Halloween costume? Space vampire. You: You’re in your usual clothes…? I don’t get it Me: [pushing all the furniture a little closer together] HISSSSS

Thought experiment: little kid shows up trick or treating as a Nazi. Too young to really get it. Do they get candy? Do the parents get punched? What’s our protocol, fam

I love this book so much. I don’t currently own a copy because I lent it twice and lost it twice. Don’t look at the ebay prices

WTF is *this* S

Covid-19 vaccines, credited with saving millions of lives during the pandemic, set off a powerful alarm that rallies the human immune system against cancer and nearly doubles the median survival length of patients, according to a new retrospective study.

4, and that’s spotting me 2 for sheer size

Original projection footage from The Haunted Mansion’s singing graveyard busts, including Thurl Ravenscroft's lead…

In a just world, the current run on Green Arrow would be a top 10 book and not, y’know, imminently canceled.

This feels like it went under the radar a bit re public alarm - why are *ICE* stockpiling guided missiles? An agency that only operates domestically?

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

Not for nothing, but after other GI Joe Springfields taking full advantage of being anywhere in the US, Hama had this scene of COBRA assisted police brutality happening expressly in Springfield, OHIO

Portland, I ❤️ you.
