amazing restaurant, then karaoke, more food & drink until 2 AM. It would kill me now, but it was glorious. In Japan Itagaki-san was like a rock star; I asked him once why he did the biker jacket/shades look in public, & he said “Because they expect it of me.” I’m grateful to have known him. RIP.

I just found out that Tobunobu Itagaki has died. I spent six amazing weeks working with him & Team Ninja at Valhalla in Tokyo years ago. At work he was quiet & thoughtful, always in a cardigan & sipping hot tea. At 5 PM the biker jacket & shades came on; every night was dinner at a different +

Good advice here for anyone going to a No Kings Day event: 1) Turn off biometrics on your phone so no one can force their way into it, & 2) Turn on data synching over network so any photos/videos you take will be accessible later if your phone gets taken. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election? Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official. Be warned.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

👀👀👀 Well, the plot continues to thicken. Will we ever have a free and fair election again? I just wonder who’s money actually paid for this one. #DarkMoney #Corruption

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA. "We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends." newrepublic.com/post/201625/...

We don't bow. We don't kneel. In America, we decide, not dictators. No thrones. No crowns. #NoKings social.demcast.com/s/Z1fEFSb8

We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world. October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Note that last sentence, Guard members.

It’s happened again, this time another layoff at my own studio. Several colleagues and friends were affected, and I’m sick about it. They know they have my love and support, but I just can’t stop wondering when the hell this will all stop. 😞

This checks out.

with Superman coming out this Friday I can't wait for the maga folk to bemoan that Superman turned woke so just posting this panel here from the very first Superman comic ever, Action Comics #1 (1938) which proves he's always been woke

My new DL came. 1st new photo since I moved here 17 yrs ago. I compared the 2: 40 yrs old, looked 10 yrs younger, excited to start a new phase, vs 56 &, w/o my glasses, looking every yr of it. My face looks so sad & weary compared to 10 yrs ago. Never had a poker face, but wow.😥

I wanted to post this yesterday, but the news was too upsetting. More layoffs, this time at Microsoft and game studios it owns. 9000 people in all, many of those game devs. I know some of them personally. I’m so sorry, y’all. I’ve been there; MS laid me off in 2013. <3 <3 <3

Sounds like a plan

$930 BILLION. That’s how much Senate Republicans want to rip from Medicaid. You read that right. $930B to fund billionaire tax cuts, while 16 million lose coverage. It’s not reform—it’s annihilation. And we won’t forgive or forget. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

I mean

Trump's budget includes massive cuts to vital programs in exchange for tax cuts skewed to the rich. It's so unpopular that the House GOP voted on it in the wee hours of the morning last month. Now, the Senate GOP is ramming it through over the weekend. They want to hide it.

This checks out.

Your energy bill is high. If the Big Ugly Bill passes – it's going to get even higher. More money for big oil – a less affordable life for you.

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

It's amazing to me that some of y'all racists thought you were exempt.

As the Senate rushes in to vote on the budget bill, the Congressional Budget Office has weighed in. Not only would the cuts directly hurt people, but even the decimation of the safety net and programs to help citizens won’t offset the trillions gifted to the rich. www.crfb.org/blogs/cbo-sc...

Sam Stein posted this image on X, provided to him today by a Padilla staffer who recorded the moment the lawmaker was taken to the ground:

This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference. He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Via: x.com/elex_michael...
