“Alas. The future looks bleak. But the glorious past we think we remember never existed. So we are yearning for a time where it seemed like, for a moment, we all shared space, and some Dippin’ Dots. “ open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

This was the 2nd show I ever attended, a few days shy of my 14th birthday, and even then I knew I was witnessing something special. Couldn’t ask for a clearer table setting for the music that would dominate my teen/ young adult years.

I am honestly and truly sick of America.

As wretched as smug corporate statements like these are, it’s important to remember they’re nothing new; this is what these ppl have always believed, & we enjoy a great privilege to be able to finally hear it said out loud & in plain language to the world. This is who they are & what capitalism is.

In honor of Kim Gordon’s birthday: 1. A sketch drawn for a “6 fan arts” request a few years ago. 2. With Kim & friends in Echo Park campaigning for Bernie 2020.

Ah shit, Gerry Conway died. He created the punisher & was very outspoken in saying "if you're a cop who wears a punisher logo, frank castle fucking HATES you." He said the punisher only existed because of a fatally flawed system, & so those most harmed by that system have more claim to the symbol:

This one is old but not old enough to be included in the Nerd Inferno omnibus. The saddest thing about it is that it isn't just for freelancers anymore. Good luck to us all.

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

So grateful to have the icon Mark Mothersbaugh sign my long-cherished OG press of Devo’s 1st album at his gallery’s “Devo: The First 50 Years” opening tonight.

A joyous holiday to you and yours youtu.be/HKDo-aX4XuI?...

Happy Birthday to Ian MacKaye, pictured here with a crazed fan after an Evens show, NYU 2006.

by no means all the cartoonists on bluesky, but as many i could get on one pack go.bsky.app/VCyGiPD

I never seem to get anything out of #PortfolioDay , but I'll share my wares anyways. Got a lot more free time this year and actively seeking work for whatever.

Two of my favorite Marcks (Money Mark & Marc Maron) bringing it on this Monday evening.

Had the pleasure of meeting action movie icon Cynthia Rothrock today. Felt a bit guilty attending the event straight from the gym (+ the sweat of 300 hipsters from last night’s Lightning Bolt gig), but I did my best to be cool 👊🏽✨

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

Imagine singing this song as many times as this man has sung it and still being this joyful. This is great

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

A remarkable photo from #NoKings in DTLA from Connor Sheets of @latimes.com www.latimes.com/california/l...

in honor of Akira Kurosawa's birthday, here's another photo of the director admiring Toshiro Mifune on the set of Yojimbo

Someday...

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.

Stumbled upon this photo of me tabling at APE 2007, giving off Minor Threat album cover vibes. I recall meeting a lot of awesomely cool & talented cartoonist friends at this show. Would love to do more cons if I was more prolific and less broke. 💸

Between the Aliens 40th anniversary celebration and Jaime Hernandez’s Lucas signing, I really let my nerd flag fly yesterday. Lord knows I need the distraction.

Timeline cleanse

My Legos have been radicalized

I finally redesigned my website after digging through volumes of my work for months. While I allowed myself to feel a bit of pride in my accomplishments, I was alternately overwhelmed by the quantity of decades of work while feeling insignificant in the face of current events. www.jeremyarambulo.com

Watched all of Wonder Man this past weekend. Some non-spoiler personal highlights: 1. Carl Tart in the Doorman episode! 2. Simon’s Wonder Man origin story takes place at Vidiots. 3. High Desert Motel in Yucca Valley holds a special place in my heart since I started writing A Challenge there.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

Feels like a rough V-day for a lot of my friends, so here’s a basic bitch cover of “True Love Waits” for all the lonely hearts 🖤

Once again, Hourly Comics Day snuck up on me despite being on a later date this year. I’m usually a lazy blob on Sundays, so I wasn’t too stoked to be at my work desk for more than a minute. Apologies for the minor bellyaching and hope you enjoy this distraction from whatever. 1/13

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

My humble offering to #Comics4Liam / comics4liam.com, sending best wishes to Liam’s family & everyone oppressed by ICE. Let’s all do what we can to push back against these fascist creeps.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Sydney Sweeney: 👁️ 👄 👁️ Giancarlo Esposito: And for me, I have to speak out. If the whole world showed up... they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world]. This is time for a revolution, and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting.

@bestshow4life.bsky.social Had to do this after hearing the Granite Toughman call on the latest episode.

NYT says ICE shot him in the back: An “agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range… A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless… At least 10 shots appear to have been fired…” 🎁🔗

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.
