Boy if the rapture *does* happen tomorrow a lot of blueskyers are going to look pret-ty foolish.

This is obviously just more RFK Jr garbage, but for those who have never been pregnant, you should know that Tylenol is pretty much the *only* medication you can take while you’re pregnant. So, it’s especially uncool for him to try to scare pregnant people off of taking it.

Oh yeah no for sure. Your grandfather who was obsessed with railways or maps or could name every World War II airplane that flew transatlantic just had a completely typical hyperfixation on infrastructure 🙄

So what are we all spending our Facebook consumer privacy user profile litigation settlement money on?

Good morning and HAPPY FALL! We had five questions for @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social about her forthcoming book GRAPHIC RAGE (out October 7!) and Aubrey drew her responses <3 www.splitlippress.com/graphic-rage

Just found out the rapture is tomorrow?? Everyone cool—where are we partying when all the assholes are gone?

I’m doing a (free!) virtual book launch for GRAPHIC RAGE on pub day (October 7)! You can register by clinking the annoyingly long link below to get a reminder on the day! us02web.zoom.us/rest/meeting...

omg

Lately I’ve been doing interviews for my new book, and I keep getting some variation of the same question: How do you stay hopeful? In truth, a lot of the time I’m not. September’s comic is about what it feels like to be losing hope. You can read it here: aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/the-storie...

We continue @aubreyhirsch.bsky.social's Blurb Week with praise for GRAPHIC RAGE from @mirkdrop.bsky.social, who also presciently noted that "Hirsch's comics make her readers feel less alone as we see the bigger picture we're all (unfortunately) part of." Agreed and signed! ❤️

Such a great night celebrating The People’s Project with these brilliant thinkers! This book is an antidote to despair and I feel so inspired after last night. Thanks to everyone who came out!

This whole comic so perfectly encapsulates where I am right now, but especially "Because if the reason we're losing elections is because something has hardened in people's hearts, then I don't know how to fix that." 💔

I feel this piece so much, especially this panel.

“Because if the reason we are losing elections is because something has hardened in people’s hearts, I don’t know how to fix that.” So fucking real it hurts 🥺😫

A great comic about how being an honest-to-goodness tenderheart these days is getting tougher. It also illustrates why hope is so damn vital. If you're wondering why certain groups are attacking basic empathy, it's exactly this.

This one made me cry. Painfully astute.

NYC PEOPLE: You can catch me, @theferocity.bsky.social, @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social, @mirajacob.bsky.social, @chasestrangio.bsky.social and Hala Alyan in Brooklyn on Wednesday talking about The People’s Project! Friends, this book is SO GOOD!!

Why is every part the hardest part though?

Wouldn’t it be faster to make a list of what he got right?

😭😭😭

Whatever secret technology Disney has to get rid of all the mosquitos, I hope those scientists are on-call to pivot to measles.

This is a very very very very bad idea.

Just read that number one more time.

My kid fell in love with a giant dictionary on the library’s free shelf. I lugged that monstrosity all the way home for him, where he looked up every swear word he could think of. ❤️📚

All this excitement for the 2pm announcement just goes to show that if Trump REALLY wants ratings, he should allow someone to pour him two goblets of wine, one of which is laced with iocaine powder

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! It's happening!!!

Just woke up—are we all just trying to gaslight Trump into being dead? I mean, I’m into it! I’m just checking.

Back to school season in America.

You know it’s real love because Taylor didn’t wait til the new album fell out of the top 10 to announce the engagement.

My "I AM NOT A DICTATOR" t-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt.

“And if you make a joke about my tiny penis it’s two years!”

This is true of SO MUCH creative work and its relationship to social media and independent production. "Here's a tool to make and share work easily!" quickly became "The traditional methods of production and distribution are withering away so actually you HAVE TO do this on your own!"

Mamdani spent 1 hour on r/Swifties and said “I know what to do.”

So weird to see a politician with a sense of humor and actual charisma.

Sometimes it’s both!

There’s still time to sign-up for tomorrow night’s session of Comics For People Who Can’t Draw! writers.com/course/comic...

And I say again: Let the zombies vote!!

brb working on my "The Amazing Shrimp-Man" pitch for Marvel

Feels like a lot of AI chatbot harm could be mitigated by adding a line of code like the “Are you still watching Netflix?” prompt that makes every tenth answer a giant message that says “Hey! Don’t forget I’m just a plagiarism machine! I am not a real person, I know nothing and I lie all the time!”

Okay but the real headline here should be about a hotel printer that worked!

KPop Demon Hunters owes its very life to The Dazzlings from My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Oh yeah? And what was her last job again?

“What keeps you motivated?” “Fear.”

Every time I say "this is the dumbest shit," I'm immediately proven wrong the next day when the shit, against all odds, somehow becomes even dumber.
