If you go back and watch a movie like All the Presidents's Men, it will really hit you how massively our country has changed in my lifetime. It was unthinkable for any of today's headlines to ever even exist back then.
A lot of you think it's always been this bad, but it hasn't. It really hasn't.
It’s horrible, yes, but it’s also kind of funny that all of these people are too afraid of Trump to say in public that he lost that election. Every Democrat should ask each one the same question just to emphasize what craven buffoons they are.
Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman
This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.
It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.
I don’t believe you Tucker. You gotta prove you mean it. Do what I did 8yrs ago when I publicly turned against Trump. Go EVERYWHERE and apologize & explain yourself. And then do the WORK. Work your ass off every day to help defeat Trump & the GOP. Walk the walk Tucker…or this is just a fake apology.

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...
The social media pivot from chronological timelines to popular-first was done at least partly to throttle real time organizing
maybe now that it's on Hulu and Tubi more people will find it, as I did
I have one of these I have never and will never discuss in public because I don't want some development exec getting ideas, doing it without me and poisoning the well.
As for others:
- THE WRONG EARTH comic I talked about yesterday
- JACK & BOBBY
- AMERICAN VANDAL
- THE SOCIETY
- LIFE UNEXPECTED
Yeah, though not as long. They allowed that to air in July while EARSHOT was held until September
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
correct
Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.
This is my tinfoil hat about 2020 and explains why Trump crashed out so hard.
In the 2012 election, the Republicans absolutely attempted to fuck with the results in Cuyahoga County and were certain they'd gotten away with it until Fox called it for Obama. This is why Karl Rove had his famous meltdown as it happened, insisting that it was too early to call it.
UPN canceled an episode of SEVEN DAYS that dealt with kids dying at the hands of terrorists (it eventually aired the following season), and CBS canceled an episode of PROMISED LAND because a kid in that show brought a gun to school (it aired during reruns).

good shit
There were two episodes of HOMICIDE season 7 that got completely shuffled in the wake of Columbine.
IIRC, "Lines of Fire" got pulled because of a standoff storyline, but then someone noticed its intended replacement "The Why Chromosome" had a teenage shooting and IT got pulled too
I remember very clearly realizing that we now had horrible things happening so often that you couldn’t acknowledge when you were (for instance) doing a regular podcast episode shortly after one happened, because you’d do it every time.
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
I think a lot about how when Columbine happened 27 years ago, school shootings were so rare and horrific that A WEEK LATER they delayed an ep of BUFFY for 5 months because it had a school shooting allusion.
Today, I’m not sure a school shooting would INTERRUPT prime time programming
An important one because it’s got stories that either have never been collected or are in collections long out of print
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
RIP to one of the pillars of the comics direct market. An amazing store and community. My condolences to his family and many friends.

The final episode of Star Trek: Picard “The Last Generation” debuted on this day in 2023. Here’s my poster for the episode. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard
Showrunners who put your name on every script under an "and" credit -- we're watching you.
All I needed to see were the words "Full Metal Jacket" in the link.
EPIC fight. And one that's referenced years later in their appearance on THE CRITIC
I think it would really pay off to cast two Star Wars actors against type.
And the director was only 20 when he made it, which is pretty impressive!
Time Chasers is one of only 3 MST3K films I own in their raw form
