Happy birthday to dear Francis Coppola, whose positivity, creativity, and humanism deserves a day of celebration and not a day clouded by ludicrous threats from someone who's lacking in all three of those things.

My art-felt goodbye to Sam Kieth chrisryall.substack.com/p/tales-of-s...

This is crushing news. Oh Sam. What a sweet, sensitive, talented, empathetic, and lovely human Sam was.

Just found out that someone who has been in our lives for 10 years, who’s been doing hard work here for 35 years, raised a family here, was roughly taken in December, thrown into detention and is now being deported on Monday. How is this making anything better?

I'm five episodes in and it's been a blast so far.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

We lost comic artist Sal Buscema over the weekend, and despite him being a mightily accomplished 89 at the time of his passing -- he would have turned 90 today -- I'm crushed that we lost him. However, I love that his decades of great work fills my bookshelves and spinner rack, and it always will.

"I know it's going to change the world, it's screwing everybody up, and I'm not in denial about that. But I am in open rebellion." -- Ethan Hawke, perfectly summing up the way so many of us feel about A.I., and really, about so much of 2025 in general.
