That’s the arrogant bastard, yes.

I was peripherally involved with a Scarecrow attempt.

For me? BANACEK. PROBE. THE LAST STARFIGHTER. And there’s a bunch of comics properties I want dibs on.

What? It was set 300 years after that episode was filmed.

Among the many should-immediately-end-this-presidency daily scandals is the fact that the current administration is dismantling research on the most incredible new scientific advance in the last several decades. Literally killing people.

And yet sometimes it’s the only way to revive interest in a deceased author.

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles.

That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org.

Are you sure that’s his URL? It looks broken.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

Panel 1 A delivery bot on a suburban path says “You don’t always end up where you expect” Panel 2 “It’s silly but I saw myself beside an astronaut rolling across a strange new world” it says as it continues down the path.

Donald Trump just demonstrated that the United States can have the most well-trained, well-equipped and highest-morale military in history, but still LOSE A WAR against a morally-loathsome, economic basketcase because of bad leadership and negligible strategic planning.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson didn’t see the tweet.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

San Diego woman says her credit card information was stolen while she was in ICE custody Hanne Engan, whom ICE arrested at her green card appointment, said her diabetes quickly escalated while at Otay Mesa Detention Center due to medical negligence. Written by Kate Morrissey, Edited...

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

The bond vigilantes? Right now, they’re the only people able to apply pain to Trump for doing the wrong things. God knows Republicans in Congress aren’t.

Holy New York.
