I had a vivid dream last night: @geminicollision.bsky.social hosted a salon in their old apartment near Cinema Village. The salon featured a reading of a new play by Peter Dinklage, with signed copies handed out to the audience, and a performance of Noel Coward songs by John Slattery.

The amazing Joseph P. Illidge will sign copies of NOIR IS THE NEW BLACK SEASON TWO issue #1 on Thursday, October 9, from 3:30 to 4:45 PM at the FairSquare Graphics Booth #2765. @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social

NYC (and nearby)! The rescue I volunteer for just took in a sweet, middle-aged small pup (15lbs) who was abandoned in Brooklyn. He’s neutered and good natured; his people must have suffered some catastrophe. Can you foster him? If so, @ me and I will get you in touch with the rescuer! Pls RT!

Always eat first. Don't make a financial or life decision —if possible, on an empty stomach, or in the middle of the night. Do not discuss money with your partner just before you go to sleep, or when you have just woken up.

I can also do commissions if anyone has any holiday gifts they need to grab!

Next week at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social I’m going to see @cbldf.bsky.social’s panel Comic Book Bans on Trial Thursday 10/09/25 6:30pm-7:15pm Rm 1C 03 www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en-us/things...

Can Jimmy Kimmel sue Brendan Carr, or other federal actors, for violating his First Amendment rights by coercing ABC to suspend his show, and maybe eventually to fire him? To teal deer it, yes, but without an effective remedy. /1

Reminder you do not need to disclose your pre-existing condition to receive your Covid vax. That is private information to be shared at your discretion.

My long-running opposition to hate speech laws is that "hate speech" is ambiguously defined, with unavoidably subjective elements, and there's no way to prevent the govt from defining expression it disagrees with as hate speech. Although I should also note they're doing this without a dedicated law.

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.
