“cognitive behavioral therapy is great, you simply use your brain to fix your brain” “but my brain is broken. that’s why it needs to be fixed. if I’m honest I was hoping *your* brain would be pitching in”

First they boosted Nazis and I still did not leave the platform. Then they partnered with Polymarket, and I *still* did not leave the platform. Anyway, I am gonna judge you

One must imagine the itsy bitsy spider happy

Sorry to hear about Tom Noonan’s passing —What Happened Was… is an almost-perfect little gem of a movie that has always stuck with me. Noonan was so generous as a director, writer, and actor in it…it left an indelible impression on me.

Hey Bay Area, spend your spring Saturdays off your phone and with....me! Me, badgering you to write! I'm back at the San Francisco Creative Writing Institute, starting next month: sfwriting.institute/course/intro...

Rewatching Line of Duty Season 3, and as always it's almost operatically satisfying--but man it hits different in our post-Epstein times.

Smart enough to end themselves but not enough to save themselves is probably a cliche in some language on some ancient planet 4,000,000 galaxies away.

What beat do you hear at a potato rave? Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz Utz

I just hate informants so much They prey on your trust, your kindness, your trauma and your neurodivergence to turn you into a weapon against yourself and your comrades for the state while making you feel shame for not allowing them to drive you literally insane

killing horny teens at summer camp should be allowed actually

He’s right and he should say it

Here's my variant cover for Superman/Spider-Man #1 without the text, featuring the vehicle that climbs walls and the other one that punches. Because I knew what to do with my one chance to draw Spider-Man.

he keeps getting shit done in like his first two months of office, we need more mayors like him

Naiveté is of the devil and a privilege of the pinkish

Just watched a Youtube clip where they needed to explain what trip hop was and what it sounded like and good christ did I feel 10,000 years old hearing all that

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Please read my book and share the link. I went out on a limb and made something raw. Won't you read it? Please? With sugar on top? Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

Humbled to see the pushback against tyranny and dictatorship actually come from members of organized religion and not from elected liberals. Genuinely. Like, after years of throwing money to Democrats who could barely do the humanist bare minimum? I’m like, “huh, maybe I should find a…church?”

Things that are not Twin Peaks Season 2 subplots but might as well be.

Do i "need" DOCTOR DOOM DOO-DOO BAGS? No. No, i don't. Did i buy a set? Oh, hell yeah, i did. DOO-DOO-DOOM will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Just remember everyone. He has to have it not happen every day, we only have to have it happen once.

The landscape of my phone’s lock screen is sending me

The consultants to the Democrats have to be Russian or Chinese operatives. No one could be this bad without actively trying to destroy the party.

we say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that he’s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want. Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. He’s saying this because it’s his policy preference. It’s what he wants.

No we don’t you worthless lump of campaign bribes, we want ICE abolished and every person who committed crimes, as well as those who allowed it to happen, prosecuted. Go fucking retire, you’ve done enough damage already.

They're pushing Newsom super hard hoping you forget there is still plenty of time to find a good candidate that doesn't throw trans rights into the garbage, because fuck voting for that piece of shit. THERE'S EASILY TIME. We can do better. You don't get to throw people's human rights & dignity away.

I read this two nights ago and I’m still trying to process it, figuring out how to talk about it and do it justice. I think it’s extraordinary, and you should read it. EVERYONE should read it.

criticizing Ds for bad things is fine and good. criticizing Ds because they're not pulling some magic procedure lever that doesn't exist really helps no one.

God damn, I hate not realizing until the third appreciation post in a row that the person has died: the whiplash from “yeah, Catherine O’Hara—she could get it” to “oh no” is rough.

Working but not spending a dime today. Not great, but better than nothing…and I’m telling myself I’m keeping my powder dry, rather than just chickening out. We’ll see.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

Even if this gets tossed out quickly, it’s worrying that Trump has this much direct control that he can have a journalist arrested and charged on his orders. This is a dictatorship fire alarm.

The act of corrupting the DOJ is not nearly as terrifying to me as is the lack of pushback or even examination of any of it from our democratic institutions.

Has anyone else ever spiraled after realizing they were mistaken about their imposter syndrome and had engaged in imposter imposter syndrome?

Thank you for being on BlueSky! 💪🏼❤️👍🏼 Please pass on the word to your fellow Labour Party colleagues that X is not a viable outlet for good-faith communications. It is Elon Musk’s propaganda network and is designed to deceive and work against democratic governance. They need to leave that App.

Seeing someone on the side we’re counting on to stop this shit call it “the incident on Saturday” rather than “the murder of an innocent” makes me almost stomach sick with rage

Time from opening Bluesky to stab of existential anxiety—approximately 3 minutes?

The blueprint of the 21st Century has returned. So glad to have this lunacy back in print (and digital).

Look everyone is angry at the GOP for doing these things. No one is not. Another thing that gets people pissed off at Democrats is the party leadership itself actively quashes its junior members who take an active hand at resisting the GOP. How is that supposed to work?

dhs is ALREADY REQUIRED to submit to congressional oversight inspections and they just refuse warrants are ALREADY REQUIRED to enter homes and they still kick in doors police power ALREADY ENTITLES local police to investigate homicides and ice refuses putting rules in place accomplishes nothing

I’ve put a free printable PDF of the below image up on my website (from the comic ‘Goat and Sheep by the Well’). Print it out and staple it to a telephone pole, tape it up on your wall, etc. www.joshuawcotter.com/jwc-comics-a...

#PrettiGood reason for a General Strike

"If you call us 'kidnappers' or 'Gestapo,' our Gestapo will kidnap you."

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

And for one shining moment, The spectre of the old “take no prisoners / give no fucks” original TCJ returned just when it was most needed

Does anyone else have a follow in their timeline that’s someone with 99% of the same interests but their takes on them you almost always find deeply annoying? I don’t know why I do it to myself. (And yes I am prepared to have you tell me I am that follow…)
