If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I want to hear from you. Reach me via Signal at marisakabas.04

The biggest movie is about science bros and the power of friendship and sacrifice, the biggest TV show is about good people doing their best under impossible circumstances to help suffering people, even under our culture’s institutionalized greed and cynicism, people are desperate for fellowship.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

To demonstrate what I'm talking about, here's some solo modern Kevin art, and some solo modern(ish?) Pete. You can really see in the new piece that distinct Laird structure paired with Kevin's graphical style and mark making, they really are Something SPECIAL together

Despite loving horror movies, I'm a wimp when it comes to horror games. They stress me out. Rented & noped out of RE1 & 2 back in the day. Got Biohazard free with PS5 & probably didn't last an hour. I enjoyed the more action-y style of 4, 5, & 6 though. Local co-op in 5 & 6 were a nice addition too.

despite being concentrated in ameria’s largest cities, america’s media is terminally car-brained

A dear friend is a horror filmmaker from a stand-up comedy background, and he says that old cliche about horror and comedy both at their core being about when things go wrong is basically his creative manifesto. I think about this often.

Trump's war on Iran does not seem to be making Americans safer.

Lindsay unless there is an invisible 98 year old man behind you right now shut the f--- up with the "we" huh? You were born a DECADE after the Battle of Iwo Jima.

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric. Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

The White House released legislative recommendations that claim to be a national AI "framework,” but instead let Big Tech companies endanger our rights. Congress must reject this dangerous proposal, and leaders at the state and federal levels must pass new safeguards to protect our civil liberties.

Happy birthday Wonder Woman, kind of, I guess

John Fetterman and Martin Heinrich, who endorsed Graham Platner last week, were the two Dem "AYE" votes

Also, let's be very clear, to the extent he had a policy platform in the last election, it was this

This is how I access BlueSky...

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

Watching Batman and Robin fighting Michael Rennie in a fur coat. Reading comics. Good Saturday night.

Sonnets 18 and 113, if I take a moment to think about it. Used to be able to recite Desiderata, but that’s gone aside from a handful of lines. Thank you 10th grade Honors English.

I picked up a little amplifier for my tv antenna today, and it made a huge difference in reception for MeTV. I’ve had Svengoolie on from the start, and there hasn’t been a single glitch or signal drop!

Hey now. I held on to a landline longer than my parents did.

Honestly, in the year of our Lord 2026, getting Michael B. Jordan for $18M is getting him cheap. That dude should be pulling in DiCaprio money by now. He's got the box office and awards shelf to prove it.

A strong rebuttal to the argument that bluesky lacks cultural impact

Just saying: The Lackadaisy books are some of the finest we've ever put out—clothbound, gold embellished—and you can snag a copy with, like, a li'l tear in the dust jacket for 65% OFF. While they last, anyway.

I was too young and square for The Maxx, & I didn’t find Sandman til later, so I originally knew Sam Keith from his handful of Detective Comics covers during the buildup to Knightfall. Still, those covers grabbed my attention. Stylized, but detailed. Like the edges of reality itself were fraying.

We've gone from close to wrapping up in Iran to Iran has been totally destroyed to we will destroy Iran in 48 hours just over the last day. None of this means anything and nobody knows what's happening.

I know the MUMMY sequels aren’t the most popular of the classic Universal Monsters flicks, but I think they get a bad wrap. *dodges rubber chicken barrage*

Svengoolie time!!!

Sam Kieth, creator of The Maxx and co-creator of The Sandman, comic book writer, artist, painter and publisher, has died at the age of 63 #RIP

For World Frog Day, here's Kermit the Frog singing the Rainbow Connection with Debbie Harry (On "The Muppet Show", Wayback in 1981) imgur.com/gallery/3C5x...

If you are not impressed by the picture of a Black Hole, clearly you do not understand the gravity of the situation…

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

I worked on this on the Library of Congress project for about five years, and CBS was not interested in preserving their history!

What is outrageous about this, among many other things, is that makes relief turn on whose loved ones have the resources to hire or luck or network to get a lawyer to file for habeas. If you don't know to file or can't, even "we have no opposition" cases lead to continued detention.

BREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers. Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.

Bobcat Goldthwait as Sandman in "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" season 3 is my new style icon.

I know it's fun to make fun of Elon Musk but I hope everybody also knows that tweet is white supremacist signaling all the way down

Professors & university staff were targeted & fired for less than this just a few months ago.

Whoa whoa whoa. WSJ reports that Trump *personally* pushed the Justice Department to settle its antitrust case with Live Nation. Several sources for my NYT column speculated this was the case. The Journal says it's a fact. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

This becoming public is a big deal

The Exorcist, Ian Fleming’s Bond, and Silence of the Lambs all stand out.

No, it's obvious that Lee did most of the actual scripting -- though he was working from rough notes Kirby wrote in the borders. And he was editorially having some shaping effect on the plots, to wildly varying degrees. But "most of the actual writing" is inaccurate and distorts things.

Google may be the greatest case ever of a company deliberately ruining a universally respected, near-perfect product.

How the fuck do you have a reporter free news room?

Wrong about the constitution, wrong in the validity of the analogy, and factually wrong about ‘stolen’ titles too. Harvard Law must be so proud.

For the love of god, if you're trying to sell your company's burger, hot dog, or taco bowl to normal people, stop calling it 'product.' Get out of capitalist business-think for 2 seconds. The people you're trying to reach are still human beings. Hint: you'd make more money NOT saying "product.'

no offense to my friends at the new yorker, but propublica is like the '96 Bulls except every starter is Michael Jordan

this is a really grim world the techno extraction class is building where they not only hijack all your inbound ad traffic with AI, they sanitize and sloppify your headlines

it's a real mindfuck to see the leadership of a publication creating some of the most important journalism of a generation trying to screw the people doing the work
