Hilarious. #Superman

Peter and I didn't get to spend a lot of time together over the years, and our worlds didn't overlap much, but this wonderful story speaks volumes about the man and his values. 💛

Jackson 'Butch' Guice, Acclaimed Longtime DC and Marvel Artist, Has Passed Away Jackson "Butch" Guice, the acclaimed artist who worked on a number of classic DC and Marvel comics since the early 1980s, has passed away at 63

RIP Butch Guice. And very sorry to hear it. We only met glancingly at cons, but it was a real treat to collaborate with him on AQUAMAN. A big loss for comics today.

RFK Jr.'s autism study to amass medical records of many Americans The autism study is planning to link confidential data "with broad coverage in the U.S. population" in one place for the first time.

Thanks, all y'all MAGA voters, for landing my son on RFK Jr’s eugenics database.

"(A) new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into...Medication records…lab testing & genomics data…claims from private insurers…will all be linked together"

This made Topo Chico come out my nose.

BREAKING: Four people have appeared outside The Vatican City claiming to be the New Pope.

Is this what the kids call a FAFO?

A drawing of a perfect phone that only has three buttons on it, one of them says IS HE DEAD one of them says AM I BROKE and the other one says RELAXING PUZZLE GAME

Photo of Senator Chris Van Hollen with Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

What he’s doing is so frustrating, as he’s going to give so many people & families false hope by promising something — this epiphany about the causes of autism — that’s impossible for him to provide. It’s almost eugenic.

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

I’m a bigger fan of Unsaltines myself.

As I end-of-life my Mastodon sunrise/sunset bot, it seems an appropriate time to vent my complaints about Mastodon as a platform. v.cx/2025/04/mast...

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Crockett: What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now

Welp, seeing Luka in the new Air Jordan commercial took the wind out of my sails tonight. (sigh)

Name a cartoon you loved.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

‘Make them pay’: Canada puts Trump’s ‘first friend’ Elon Musk’s Tesla in the crosshairs of tariff war Canada’s EV adoption rate is outpacing that of the U.S., with nearly 17% of new cars sold in the third quarter of 2024 being fully electric, compared to just 8% in the US.

So you don't all say I'm just doom and gloom, here's a bit of good news for you this morning...

As a professor who often talks about whether government actions and actors are following the law as part of my classes, I have a vested interest in #1A and academic freedom protections for faculty.

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.
