the world is the Scooby Doo unmasking meme and it's always "some rich fuck that doesn't even go here"

Respect the just putting it out there

I'm so glad this came through, because I spoke to a bunch of sources (colleagues, opera scholars, etc), even if they aren't named or quoted in the piece! Plus I got to dig into these:

GOat was great; voice cast and animation excellent, production design colorful fun. Catch it on Netflix variety.com/lists/goat-c...

Time for a POP-UP-FUNDRAISER! I sketched Captain America & Bucky on a blank variant. The drawing is yours FREE if you make a $300 (or more) donation to the Trans Law center transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/ DM me to make sure it’s still available and we’ll make arrangements. (Cont)

Birthday fun

New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

given the number of people in musk v altman who said aloud that they'd been obsessed with AI since reading about it in fiction, I think part of the problem is that the makers of AI themselves do not understand the distinction between truth and fiction

"sycophancy is a safety issue" We're living this as a nation.

Happy Birthday to me! What are you wearing to the party?

Pope Leo quoting Tolkien in his encyclical on AI seems like a pointed reference for the tech oligarchs who have appropriated LOTR for their own ends.

Today's the birthday of Diana Prince. (Originally, the birthday of the "real" Diana Prince Wonder Woman obtained her secret identity from). (Comic art by Eduardo Pansica, Dick Giordano, and HG Peter.) #1976DCCalendar #DCComics #comics #WonderWoman #DianaPrince

Needed a dose of Shakespeare and laughter.

Something lovely, y'all.🌺🐝 The 2nd Annual Mary Oliver Memorial Reading at the Library of Congress highlighted emerging poets writing on the natural world. Aimee Nezhukumatathil @nezhukumatathil.bsky.social With Ariana Benson, "Black Pastoral" @arianab.bsky.social & Robin Walter #poetry #poems

Angela Morley helped John Williams make his scores a reality, orchestrating on Star Wars, Superman, E.T., Home Alone, Hook - but her name is all too often forgotten

and this is how I found out there were shots heard at the White House

This is literally about drowning, but it’s a really good metaphor for people in any desperate situation. They are so focused on surviving that it doesn’t register that they’re dragging you down with them.

Confidential to the folks who think "Golden Age" SF/F writers would be sad about current SF/F writers' lack of excitement over "AI": Why would you think the generation of writers who founded SFWA to defend the rights of working SF/F writers would somehow be cool with the plagiarism machine?

Repeat after me: Trump's government is liars.

🤣🤣🤣

From the print article subsea.cc/cable-recove...

All the covers here. USA boring white guy hero garbage. So many artists had fun. Argentina is like we love Messi and making out. Canada's player yearning for goal made me tear up, cabo Verde has a great shark, Scotland'll make you laugh, Uruguay is space/color brilliance world-cup.si.com

Sports Illustrated hired 52 artists to do World Cup preview covers. Mexico's is epic.

It does, actually. That's exactly what it means. AGI is a lie the con men are using to get you to build that monorail in Springfield, dude. There was a paper from Apple on it this week. None of this stuff is thinking. It can't. That's not what it does. It is a language prediction trick. That's it.

the Tech People ™ don't seem to be smart anymore.

Have a friend who has spent a year and a half putting a move the family to Canada plan in place so his adult trans child can have a safe future. And we live in a blue state. Once again, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. Neighboring family compounds with safe folks are the future. Plan yours now

Texas needs to stfu.

With The Late Show with Stephen Colbert wrapping up last night, and as a big fan, here's a Sally Forth strip from 2017 when the Forth family visited the Colberts - or at least their front lawn...

Called my rep, got an aide, asked him what Smucker's opinion is on the slush fund, and express my opposition to Trump's IRS grift, the ballroom banditry, and the war in Iran. Try a variation of this on your Congress critter: the President is supposed to make America proud, not poor.

I think about this Onion article headline all the time.

The proper headline here is CHARGES DISMISSED DUE TO DOJ MISCONDUCT www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/u...

Good thread.

gonna become a counterpart to those public facing medievalists who weigh in when people throw around "the dark ages" or "feudalism" by popping up whenever someone says a thing is "undergoing a Renaissance" to be like "oh so it's expanding its techniques of social control and imperial extraction?"

The IRS has agreed to not audit Trump's taxes. In 2024, we found the IRS concluded in a long-running audit that Trump effectively claimed the same massive write-off twice on a failed Chicago tower. That audit could have cost him more than $100 million. (From May 2024 w/ @nytimes.com)

Just over a decade ago, Tegan and Sara asked a few of their artist friends to each create a poster for one of the songs on their album Heartthrob. I chose Love The Say for mine, as it's one of my favourites.

Feels like it's been too long since I said Fuck ICE on here so hey, Fuck ICE.

Ice cream, blintzes, and other sweet dairy (or dairy-ish things in spirit) are holy to my people this week. Feel free to join us if you'd like an excuse!

SWIFT OPPOSITION: There are now House *and* Senate bills to impose 100% tax on payouts from Trump’s $1.8 billion fund for convicted crooks Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) & Ron Wyden (D-OR) have just introduced their version Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) already has bill in House
