I finally got around to watching Creature Commandos last night. Fuck me that was good. Needed something like that. Particularly GI Robot's focus episode.

the standard you walk past is the standard you accept. adults are responsible for the types of relationships they have, when those relationships are free from coercion and force.

Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that's all I need to know about you.

Roth is always well worth reading, but this is one of the Roth essays where you think to yourself, yeah, people trying to understand this era are gonna be reading this 40 years from now

A piece of broccoli? Like one floret? Not a cup, but one floret. I want to see how well she does on that daily diet… They only picked between stupid, evil, or stupidly evil people to drive this clown car.

A couple of days ago, Wrecktangle Pizza in Minnesota raised $83k to donate food and other essentials to immigrants and other people trapped in their homes. Very soon, ICE showed up at their door. The agents got chased off by employees and locals, though not before dropping some tear gas.

This dude is intense and correct

Realizing I can't have a generalized discussion about anything anymore. The older I get the more important nuance is. If you want to talk about art movements with me, I need to ask you about where in the world and what specific years. I'm becoming exhausting even for myself.

Made a weird video art thing.

As a Cold War kid, modeling WWIII breakout scenarios was almost a hobby with my friends. Not once did we picture NATO breaking up over Greenland of all places as a flashpoint.

With all the news agencies pulling a Scooby Doo in this moment, are people going to finally come to grips with the fact that outside independent journalists, the 4th Estate is a part of the problem?

I wrote about Renee Good, Venezuela, Greenland, and what it means to be a human being. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wrote about empathy for the newsletter's monthly long form essay. Behind a login because of AI bullshit, but subscriptions to get access are free.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

Minneapolis right now— At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

This woman is a real one.

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Our latest:

Each new AI feature in games just makes me dive deeper into the low cost back catalog of games from a decade ago or turn towards some indie house that is trying something interesting and different. It's also why I try to get physical media when possible. This nonsense won't stop until the $ does.

If they had not called it Death of Robin Hood and just made it a medieval horror story like Black Death, I would be more excited. Instead they weighed it down with baggage. It's a shame.

I always thought Martha Washington Goes to War was a science fiction comic, not some sort of Nostradamus type shit.

Made more Dracula paintings from the movie.

I don't do pop art very often, but wanted to do a little something in between person projects. These are the first four of 20 pieces I am doing recreating scenes from Bram Stoker's Dracula in acrylic on 8x10 canvas boards. Watching, pausing, painting.

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

the full speech is something to see & is one of the reasons it is good to have a trans member of congress youtu.be/5LqVMCW4e0c?...

Watch this please. If you give any shit about other human beings watch and listen to her.

Wild watching the acceleration towards a new binary stratification of society. Those that trust information on socials and those that don't.

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie."

This month, perhaps apropos, my essay is centered on memories. Member only to block AI scrapers, but membership is free.

I had a lot of fun writing this new single-sheet Public Collectors zine: "Why Aren't People Buying Your Books and Zines at Fairs?" Reprinted in full here. It's free if you ask for it when you order from halfletterpress.com or you can get it in this set I made: halfletterpress.com/3-single-she...

I made a thing. #ttrpg #rpg

Tucked inside the Republican bill for health care subsidies, a clause that would restrict the money from being used for abortion (with exception for rape, incest or life of the mother) or for "any sex trait modification procedure or service." www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

How is the guy who directed Margin Call, All is Lost, and A Most Violent Year the same dude who directed Kraven the Hunter?

This world is just structured for the most uninteresting people with nothing to say. It is the only way I can explain people like Galloway.

Welp, glad my kid dumped Northwestern from their short list of colleges.

Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton absolutely carry Michael Clayton.

"You'll be visited by three spirits" The three spirits

Who gave Vecna his hand and eye back? newrepublic.com/article/1565...

Welp, this is the fastest I have gotten the boilerplate email response from one of my senators. Usually it is about a month or more before anything comes back.

Comico’s trade dress was just so great. I am not convinced anyone else’s since then is better.

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud

Finished a new piece over my lunch break today. The Wild Hunt painted with watercolor, gouache, ink, and loose pastels on 12x 16 cold press watercolor paper.

I don't know what the hell cozy fantasy is... My latest essay on why art discovery is so hard these days.

It’s “find shit from last year in my coat” season.

Feckless cowards.

13 lino cut prints each uniquely treated. Used a loose pastels dust that was fun and a little chaotic to work with.

I’m at Rock Con in Rockford Illinois this weekend. Come say hello. rock-con.com

I decided I wanted a full page illustration of the Tyrant, so I made one. The cover and other illustrations they are kind of hidden in the designs, so wanted to do something bright and disarming. Something simple. I also gave him 6 toes on each foot cause it is just weird.

Happy with how these spreads are coming together. A couple more tweaks and off to the printer we will go. If I am lucky, I will be able to ship issue 3 of volume 2 by early December.

True justice would be if Klein, Yglesias, the Pod Bros, and all of the white dude pundits would take a 4 year sabbatical from commenting on politics.
