I am so sick in my soul of all of it.

This Uncle Scrooge book coming from Fantagraphics in August looks like a lot of fun.

Vaguely reminiscent of

@ironspike.bsky.social Can you show me your source on Edison restricting his recordings to classical and religious music? While I'm no fan of him—basically awful person—I've never heard this, and AFAIK he was releasing comedy and stage musical tunes from the start: www.nps.gov/edis/learn/p...

Kathy Spillar is sounding the alarm on a new policy blueprint released by The Heritage Foundation that she says aims to roll back advances for women. Despite that, she insists women across the country are organizing in the courts, in elections, and in the streets, refusing to go backward. #Velshi

ABIE'S IRISH ROSE was a hit play before it finally hit the screen. It built on the Tin Pan Alley fad for novelty songs about Irish-Jewish romances and, infamously, was deemed ineligible for copyright protection because it was basically hundreds of stereotypes stitched together.

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

New from my longtime friend Tommy José Stathes—CARTOON ROOTS: BACK TO THE INKWELL, with music by Robert Israel and Charlie Judkins, historiography and graphic design from yours truly, an intro from Jerry Beck, and next-level restoration by Steve Stanchfield—this was equal parts love and lost sleep!

<sigh> One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript. How do we know? Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth. Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.

The upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election could be critical for voting rights, but it has had a lower profile compared to previous races. A recent poll found that 93 percent of voters in the state have heard “little” or “nothing” about it.

Cartoonist Barbara Brandon-Croft, creator of the comic strip Where I'm Coming From, the first comic strip by a Black woman to be nationally syndicated in the mainstream press in the US. (Jackie Ormes was restricted to Black press in her time.) #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2026

a lot of discussion about how "cosmopolitan" urban dwellers are, but a really underdiscussed trend is the homogenization of culture across *rural* areas of the USA - replacement of once-distinct regional cultures with generic "redneck" accent and culture, regional religions with evanglicalism etc

It's honestly crazy seeing pro-AI people keep talking about artist like elite gatekeepers when virtually every artist I'm aware of is, at base, struggling to get by. It's not like it's just people starting out either, the amount of veteran talents who've had to set up GoFundMes is staggering.

when you say them out loud, Yaoi and Yuri are the most Hanna-Barbera-ass names for media subcultures. Those are the names of two wolves in neckties who are all the time be trying to come up with schemes to steal pies.

Ich glaube, HBO Max ist nichts ohne HBO Moritz.

This. Bad actors deliberately misinterpret "minorities/women now have media that tries to highlight them/be fair to them" as "minorities/women are replacing squarejawed white heroes, it's a conspiracy out to get *you*, Joe Shlabotnik, and it proves minorities/women are the elite while you suffer." >

If you want a comic by a black creator trying to make headway out in the world, you can do no better than to support Lorenzo who is out here doing his best to tell good tales and put them out into the world. A good man who does good work 👍🏾

“Aunt Fritzi” is the eternally-relevant, endlessly malleable figure of comics mythos that people want “Batman” to be.

The very first thing on the Democratic Party's agenda in 2021 should've been voter rights and voter security ESPECIALLY after what happened on January 6. Instead "cancelling student loans with the stroke of a pen" was top of mind. And you wonder why we continue to find ourselves in these jams.

The last ten years has been learning about so many new types of bad people you wish you never knew anything about but have to now because they have positions of vast influence.

God, thank you! It is not designers who decide how the world looks. We aren’t less talented, passionate, or inventive than creatives past…we just literally aren’t allowed to do anything that requires talent, passion or inventiveness. Designers are angrier than anyone, it’s soul destroying work.

it makes sense once you realize "popularism" is about what's popular among a handful of out-of-touch pundits

This is at a point where we're now cheering for freaking Netflix to buy a 100 year old studio and their beloved IPs to stop a billionaire from turning WB into yet another right-wing propaganda network and driving it into the ground. I hate this timeline.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

if you see someone on the side of the road with a white poster board that they wrote “peaches” on in black sharpie, hit the breaks

In 2026 the evidence on racism's physiological impact is robust: exposure to racial discrimination triggers measurable stress responses including elevated cortisol, cardiovascular reactivity, increased blood pressure & inflammatory markers (Krieger 1996; Brondolo 2003; Cuevas 2020; Geronimus 2006)

I don’t mind bananas but one of my fucking problems with them is that it’s a fruit that isn’t juicy, and I know that allows it to have uses as a binding agent but it’s time science either made the Juice Banana or we stopped calling it a fruit and made it a kind of weird grain

In America, we can't eradicate racism with law or policy. But we can make racism shameful again. Doing so is ultimately a political and cultural act, and it must be a conscious one. And it is an important part to restore some semblance of our liberal democracy. /fin

I finally had my fill of poor transfers of 1930s Ub Iwerks and Van Beuren animation on YouTube and elsewhere on the internet and ordered the ThunderBean blu-rays. I should have been getting these long ago. So revealing in how well animated and under appreciated these cartoons are.
