Teenage twins find new challenges in a summer animation course in Inbetweens, by @faitherinhicks.bsky.social from @01firstsecond.bsky.social - check out Esther Keller's review at Good Comics for Kids: goodcomicsforkids.slj.com/2026/04/21/r...
That's not to say that you shouldn't be careful how you use these glasses. Meta doesn’t have the greatest track record on privacy, and the company has continued to push forward with policies that are questionable at best. Even if you’re not concerned that face recognition will allow Meta to target immigrants or enable stalkers to find their victims, at the very least, people really do not like the idea that you could start recording them at any moment.
Probably the biggest hurdle to wearing Meta glasses is that even doing so seems like a gross violation of the social contract. After all, these are Mark Zuckerberg's “pervert glasses.” When I pop these on my head, I’ve had friends (and my spouse) recoil and say, “I have apps to warn me away from people like you.” The best part, though, is that Oakley and Ray-Ban already make really great sunglasses. Even if the battery runs out or you don't use Meta AI at all, these are stellar at shading your eyes from the sun

And Viz has licensed the manga adaptation of And When There Were None.
There's a graphic adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express that's very faithful to the book.
All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.
And then his attorney said "Hold my beer."

Exactly. Looks like grounds for impeachment to me. @whipkclark.bsky.social
Any potential Dem nominees should announce now they will not abide by any such agreement, will sue to recover any amounts paid, and will open criminal investigation against anyone at the IRS and DOJ involved with any such settlement.
OMG Patrick! I had no idea! Best wishes for a fast recovery!

Rotating Villain theory strikes again.
I'm reading it too, and I agree 100%. I also highly recommend her Murderland, which is a fascinating look at life in the Tacoma area, industrial pollution, geology, and serial killers. The woman is a treasure.
This is enraging.
Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context.

Instead of public apologies, we need a justice who will cropdust Kavanaugh until he gets pinkeye.
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Hungarian taxpayers were forced to bankroll CPAC. An actual foreign government was secretly funding American right-wing politics and the Trump admin was cheering Orbán on the whole time.
Magyar just won in a landslide and called it what it is a CRIME.

Chuck Schumer says Senate Dems are going to force floor votes in Iran war powers resolutions every week.
This week, Tammy Duckworth will bring it up.
Next week, Tammy Baldwin.
Read A Civil Action, or more recently, Carolyn Fraser's Murderland, or look up the history of Love Canal. These are just a few of the modern cautionary tales. Removing lead and other contaminants from the environment has measurably improved public health and rolling that back is evil.
This is bad and we must fight it. Allowing corporations to contaminate groundwater serves no public purpose and will actively degrade public health.
What kind of person would propose or support weakening environmental regulations? Do we really want them to be part of our government?
I had a lot of fun with this book:

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!
Now that Trump and MAGA are blasting the Pope's call for peace as "woke", it's a good time to remember that woke is actually everything that is good:
Peace
Equity
Honesty
Fairness
Diversity
