Eliminating libraries in prisons is a disaster, completely shortsighted. Libraries are a lifeline for incarcerated people who want to learn and grow, and have few other options.

Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves as a means of alerting his subjects that ice cream was nearby

Helioscope, the workspace I share with two dozen other cartoonists, is celebrating its birthday today. 24 years as a studio, 3 buildings, 76 mentees, 1200 etsy orders, & many, MANY thousands of pages of comics. I'll be posting photos in this thread throughout the day. @helioscopepdx.bsky.social

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

One of the problems with people not sharing things with attribution, AI etc is that we (rightly) don’t trust things that are real. This picture is making the rounds today and I’ve seen multiple ppl say it is fake. It isn’t!!!! www.nasa.gov/solar-system...

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

Also Macron, speaking for many, has this explanation: "When you want to be serious, you don’t go around saying the opposite every day of what you just said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.”

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Be relentless against your enemies, but be ready to show mercy and grace should the opportunity arise to turn a foe into a friend. People can change, and honor is a path through the complex landscape of life, not a fence to keep out trespassers.

At Kennedy Space Center astronauts have to take elevators to the top of launch pad towers in order to enter their space capsules before lift off. This is the elevator panel at Pad 39A.

You've all been waiting for it: my review of the ultra-exclusive Austenland immersive experience. Perhaps the world's most expensive larp at $30,000 a ticket – and that's just the Bronze package – guests get to live out their Regency dreams in a vast English manor over three weeks.

Hey, friends, if you have a webtoons account, consider subscribing my new comic: OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE! It'll start serializing weekly on April 15th. www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ou...

Reposting this because I revamped my site and the link changed. Added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I think is more interesting than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! rian-johnson.com/scripts

These are all wonderful, beautiful, and successfully convinced me to pick up the book.

I’m starting to think that ‘being on vacation’ and ‘reading the news’ might both be necessary but contradictory pursuits.

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

"You can take someone's word, but a deal's better if you don't have to."

It won't happen, but every headline tomorrow should emphasize that Trump is the one blocking a solution to the airport crisis. He owns the shutdown now.

Why do we have donut holes and bread sticks but not the other way around?

dang, the final lost MST3K episode was JUST found at a garage sale, and now it's on YouTube for all to enjoy. watch and be astounded that a 38-year-old VHS recording held up so nicely: youtu.be/u_Z4hnagGLE?...

Also an appearance of the rare Chekov's Saxophone.

Just spent the night crafting a game that it's unlikely anyone but me will ever play. Still fun and satisfying.

I have good days planned for the near future. Trying hard not to let the world context in which they are situated poison me from enjoying them. We need rest in order to resist.

In all the reading I've done the one thing I've never found an exception to is this: all the really great writers are extremely well-read. Even comedians are wild avant-garde types still read widely and constantly. I don't know of any great writer who defies this.

This is astonishing—a rhetoric steeped so deeply in New York's ethnic history, in grass-roots urban progressivism, in the immigrant experience in the United States. It's not "you should be in solidarity with others," it's "you always have been, we all always have been."

Still a little short on travel funds for BREAKOUT CON, so for the next 72 hours you can grab everything I've ever made for $40! Repost & shares are appreciated! Grab it here: bit.ly/4sRrGbj

I've been lucky enough to see some of the early versions of this, and you would be nuts not to join me on day one of this Kickstarter when it launches.

Why the Sound Transit board (and the state legislature) should be focused on getting Ballard Link built as fast as possible, in one image.

I know it makes a lot of folks' lives more difficult, but my kid is absolutely thrilled to have some snow in Seattle proper. Just had a snowball fight and it was a blast.

Currently setting up our new exhibition on #Swift and #GulliversTravels to mark 300 years since its publication. We're particularly happy with this staging of A Modest Proposal (1729), for which thanks to Joan Moynihan.

Today’s old book dive didn’t give me life goals…but it did give me a death goal: obligatory pancakes at my funeral.

Episode 43 of the Kilauea eruption is a BEAST. They just zoomed out and uhhh this may be on its way to setting a record for tallest lava fountains. What on Earth. 😍🌋 Cam 2 live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiyt...

YouTube keeps driving me toward watching TimeTeam episodes, but I guess it's better that than right-wing agitprop.
