Everyone should read the latest issue of Cyclops by @alexpaknadel.bsky.social and @rogeantonio.bsky.social. It is probably one of the best issues of the year and has one of the best final pages I've seen in a while.
First look at DC's ‘CLAYFACE’.
In theaters on October 23.
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Defund the hostile domestic troops who wage war against the civilian population of the United States.
I know historians aren’t supposed to predict the future, but sometimes the patterns are really clear.
Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
After working on climate-related humanitarian work around the world for the past 20 years or so, this is the thing that gets me the most.
$2 billion a week would go such a long way towards solving the vast majority of issues for the world's 5 billion poorest.

NEW: How exactly has Alex Jones avoided paying the Sandy Hook families a single dime of what he owes? I wrote about it here, and spoke to Chris Mattei, an attorney for some of the families, and Lenny Pozner, the father of the youngest child who died at Sandy Hook: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?
Thinking about that time in Japan, when Nintendo was undergoing hard times, its CEO took a pay cut himself rather than layoff the companies' talented workers. That's some exceptionalism I can get behind.
One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.
The graves of multiple children have been defaced.
One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.
@theonion.com has finally made comedy legal again
I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Sorry. I dont care. Hate me if you like but I’m not rallying overwhelmingly with a monster that has a D following their name instead of an R. Many of us are done with the “acceptable fascism” shit
A federal judge has halted construction on Trump's White House ballroom.
Good.
At a $400M price tag funded by corporate donors, it's one of the most corrupt things a president has ever done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E
I wrote about adapting A.E. Housman's poetry for this collection - you can read about it (and look through some images from the look book I sent @ianmacewan.bsky.social ) here. www.patreon.com/posts/155626...
"That’s why this case matters beyond its own four corners. Should Hennepin County eventually charge Jonathan Ross—the identified shooter of Renee Good—and the still-unidentified officers who killed Alex Pretti, it will trigger the same process." https://bit.ly/4etMth1
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
Pentagon press briefings now include:
• Bible passages
• Comparisons of journalists to enemies of Jesus
• Monthly Christian-only prayer services led by the SecDef
This is not normal. This is a theocracy.
How on earth does someone arrive at the thinking that REMOVING PRIDE FLAGS at a coffee shop in SAN FRANCISCO is a GOOD idea?
“Hi, I own a Philadelphia sports bar and let’s get rid of all this Eagles shit! You know, FOR BUSINESS.”
I've struggled with posting in memory of Steven Attewell this year. Everything feels so small. When A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms aired it was the 1st time I'd touched ASOIAF since his death. It hurt watching & not getting to talk with him. Go read @stevenattewell.bsky.social's thoughts on the book
This is so genuinely repulsive on every conceivable level. Not just scabs, but scabs forcing additional marketing over creators’ work. This is not art.
I did it with the help of Swiffer Wet Jet thirty-five minutes ago.
So I was in that Global Comix Discord meeting awhile back where they said, checks notes, we won’t use AI for translating. Well…
Sorry to repost a Substack article but here’s the full icky details 👇🏻

“You’re calling me immoral? Well, how about I cancel care for children need, who’s immoral now?”
