I can confirm this is true and I can also say that the lack of an eviction moratorium is fueling this trend.

How do you reform this?

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.

Here is a thing: There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To. (cont'd)

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

I would like to make a little thread/sloppy directory, here: If you write about books for any outlet (by which I mean not a newsletter, somewhere that you have an editor), please reply and tell me what you cover and where?

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

The ACLU wants to hear from any families with kids or anyone who was significantly impacted by the use of chemical munitions at yesterday’s protest. Please email my office so we can help connect you with their legal team.

Over 3,400 journalists were laid off in 2025

They left an elderly US citizen on her way to pay her rent with a torn rotator cuff and a concussion. This was in Salem, Oregon. Absolutely no one should vote to fund these lawless thugs.

This is a good point re: Portland today This wasn't on federal land It wasn't when agents were claiming to do any enforcement activity It was federal agents shooting gas at children and union families in the streets Im not a lawyer, but I dont see how qualified immunity counts here It's assault

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

you can’t focus group this. you can’t means test it. just make it fucking stop.

Psssst. My fellow dudes. Just a reminder that it's okay to not know everything. And it's okay to find out that maybe you're wrong about something you thought you knew. Criticism is not the end of the world. It's just a chance to maybe learn more stuff. And that's pretty cool. Just saying.

This hit so fucking hard today.

Look, fuck MTG she’s riding a wave. But the fascinating thing to me here is that she’s explaining basic empathy to MAGA adults *the way you’d explain empathy to a five year old.* Because she *knows how they think*. There are millions of adults in this country without basic emotional skills.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

For those who haven’t seen it yet, a heartbreaking statement from the victim’s parents.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

Long live the Ewokian citizens of the Twin Cities

New teaser from @2000ad.bsky.social for the current Judge Dredd storyline -- reportedly John Wagner's last -- which is called 'Death of a Judge.' Surely they wouldn't...

Somehow, despite never submitting any of the paperwork they sent me—not the background check or identification info, not the domestic violence affidavit, none of it—ICE had apparently offered me a job. No paywall link archive.today/n2Ge7

at least part of everything this government does is to impress a handful of psychos on twitter

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Due to feedback from our testers, we have decided to patch "Happy New Year" to "Acceptable New Year" to avoid disappointment and better match the realities of the market.

A very happy "we're just going around the Sun over and over, and picking any particular day to signify the beginning of that cycle is arbitrary and frankly silly" day to everyone who celebrates.

In the rooms of AA they call 12/31 “amateur night.” Stay safe if you’re drinking (get a ride, have a buddy). Stay safe if you’re not drinking and want to stay stopped (drive yourself, have a buddy). Good luck out there.

Cheers to COMICS! #comics #happynewyear

oh no there’s another one coming

The Daredevil parody by Alan Moore & @mikecollins99.bsky.social that ran in Daredevils.

“It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating,” he said in an email.

As exhausting as the final season of Stranger Things is — and it is, it’s such a slog — I feel like it’s a practice run for how exhausting the next two Avengers movies are going to be.

higher res!

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

2025 recapped

If you don’t count queer people as your allies you are fucking up.

I'm a regular guy, I put my trousers on the same way as everyone else: falling into them through a hole in the ceiling via a contraction operated by my long suffering dog

50% of phobe columns in the national press (of which there are SO MANY) are 'it should be illegal for me to have to see a minority I personally find Icky' and the other 50% are 'also it should be illegal not to like me and feed me bonbons and tell me I'm always right'

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

Every year for Hanukkah I like to share panels from this special holiday comic I edited when I was on staff at Marvel. There remains a dearth of specifically Hanukkah stories in comics and this one only ever appeared in print once. Every year I am proud to share and celebrate the light of Hanukkah:

You can see the original pencils of this card at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles as part of the JACK KIRBY: HEROES AND HUMANITY exhibit (now on view through March 1, 2026!)
