Out here getting dosed up

Page excerpt from my journal of my interpretation of nauseous me fighting a blob representing my cancer tumor

Corruption and market manipulation on an epic scale.

all month, @akpress.org is donating $2 from every item sold to help Marius Mason re-enter society after almost 20 years in prison for his work trying to defend the earth. This includes both both books they publish and also books they distribute. I'll link some of my own and others that I like:

Five years and 156 pages later, Those That Inherit the Earth Vol. 1 is all drawn. Still have a ways to go with coloring the last third of the book plus all the worldbuilding/lore section, but it still feels good to look at the stack of finished pages.

I missed FCBD as I was at Portsmouth Comic Con so here's a link for a free digital copy of Gateway City Volume 1: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/blzwd... And volume 2: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/le8at... Gateway City is a sci-fi/pulp mash-up comic: gangsters, aliens, and a talking bear!

Knowledge Fight was and remains one of the all-time great podcasts. It is the rarest kind of thing: a show that entertains while having a real-life impact. Dan and Jordan helped defang and neuter elements of a powerful propaganda network. Excited to see what both do next.

Statement from Mamdani encourages New Yorkers to attend public comment hearings to share their opinions on rental costs, something Mamdani has been urging people to do. Freezing the rent was a campaign promise. It was foiled by Adams packing the RGB before he left office.

The RGB is angling to raise the rents again.

Friends, i got some real bad news today that I'm fighting a real rare inner-enemy that could take my life. Whatever vibes you utilize for my family and I are most welcome.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Call me when the NYT is ready for a "12 Bitches Who Were Right about Everything" piece.

The World Cup is coming to our backyard, & we’re making sure every New Yorker can be a part of it. This summer, FIFA fan events will be free in all 5 boroughs. Info at nynjfwc26.com. Thank you to the NYNJ Host Committee & Governor Hochul for helping make this summer of soccer affordable for all.

The gunman by all accounts did not get close to Trump; he wasn’t “exposed” to him. The security plan balanced keeping the hotel open to the public with securing the discrete event that the president attended and, in this instance, it achieved both objectives. What’s the flaw?

The good tool never blames his carpenter.

One of the greatest headlines ever made

Been saying for years that anti-trans and anti-autistic hate are basically the same processes. Conversion therapy for both. Extreme poverty, social isolation, low life expectancy, absolutely no on on earth hires us, parents grieving kids who are alive... (Btw please use alt text.)

New episode of It Could Happen Here After a shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, @iwriteok.bsky.social takes a look at the current political environment to explain why previously normal people keep taking extreme action with ever-growing frequency. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

the worst thing about all of this stupid mess is how it will serve as the perfect justification for the unforgivable act of having been there at all. journalists should not have attended the president’s party, but now they can say, thank god we did. we covered the news there.

I'm breaking up with Duolingo and goddamn it's being SUPER needy about it

LAWYER: The shooter shared your post: “Bugs Bunny is a two-pump chump. I’d show Lola how to smash ‘Animal Style!’” What did you mean by that? ME: That Bugs Bunny cums fast. LAWYER: He lacks sexual prowess? ME: Yes. LAWYER: Did you consider that posting something this inflammatory might be dangerous?

the assassin was radicalized on the website for people who keep putting off their colonoscopy

Shout out to @scottsantens.com who i don't know but who wrote this essay that i connect deeply with and that you should read. It says so much about how our shared joy has been stolen from us and folks we could probably take it back if we remembered it more. www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

After reading this newest essay of mine, one of my readers said via email, "This is probably the best article I've ever read advocating for UBI. And one of the best you've ever written." If you haven't read it yet, please do. Maybe you will feel the same way. 🎲 www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

The push is on to create a program to rein in the most reckless drivers in the state. Will Carl Heastie pass "Stop Super Speeders" in the budget?

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

Spread calm. The most useful and experienced demonstrators yell "walk!" to stop crowds from running in fear. The most useful and experienced people try to spread calm. It doesn't get the clicks, but it doesn't immobilize people's thinking either.

What a bunch of dumb horseshit Too much dumb horseshit

i’ll be honest it’s so fucking funny to take this angle after another shooting attempt its just so shameless

Suspect named Cole Thomas Allen, 31. Video posted by Trump of security footage shows suspect speed through security before being taken down off-camera.

being a journalist is nothing compared to being an elementary school student.

This is how traumatized the journalists were. They may never recover... the bottles from those journalists. bsky.app/profile/your...

this is what all the social media in the Purge movies looks like

I went to have cocktails to celebrate the giant meat grinder but then someone turned on the giant meat grinder and it was really loud and scary. and you're laughing

Looking forward to seeing folks next weekend at Portsmouth Comic Con. I'll be doing commissions on the day. Feel free to get in touch now to line up a slot.

Sunday's Weather Rating: 6/10 Cloudy skies this morning will give way to some periods of sunshine later, but it's still a bit chilly with high temperatures barely reaching into the upper 50s. A breeze continues all day, too. The vibes have improved, at least!

Btw when you hear tonight that the White House Correspondents dinner is raising money for journalism scholarships, that’s only partly true. A good number of them are financed or co-financed by other organizations, or the schools themselves whca.press/scholarships....

My good buddy runs a great candle company, made from soy, and he's running a sale for 24% everything and if you like great scents with great humor then hit up my guy at Virgins on Fire pleeeease. 100% love from me, he doesn't pay me I just love his candles www.virginsonfire.com/collections/...

I spent 6 months working for a Swiss NGO researching the tactics used by Big Oil and how similar they are to Big Tobacco’s tactics, and I can tell you that the ones used by ‘Big AI’ are virtually identical.

‼️‼️‼️

This is the way

Truly why is it up to them? Who runs this city anyway?

Friday’s Weather Rating: 8/10 Mostly cloudy early, but clearing out as the day goes on with high temperatures in the mid 60s. Despite the clouds and a breeze, the vibes are very good out there today!!

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
