My kingdom to the first reporter with proximity to Donald Trump who stares into his hollow, soulless eyes and asks him: "What the fuck do you think the Pope's job is?"
And at this point in the history of the American republic, or wht remains of it, the profanity is required.
Fuck this. As an industry, we are in an existential crisis of book banning because of homophobia and transphobia weaponized by racist authoritarians. “Dirty books” are not the problem. Censorship is.
Make whatever books you like, but don’t you dare call other books dirty in your shitty marketing.
Me to my game devs: You need to rest. You need to have downtime and work-life balance. You need to set boundaries for yourself and be a human outside work.
My brain: Not you, though.
Me: Oh, God, of course not me. Haha. Can you imagine?
Getting stuck behind a tractor was a legit excuse to be late to my high school.
If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.
Yay, space!
Photo of a rocket launching across the Burbank sky at dusk, leaving a plume of white smoke behind it. The sky is deep blue fading to a slight red range at the bottom and there are silhouettes of different trees at the bottom of the photo.
That one was pretty cool!
Pre-emptive “Did anyone in Burbank else see that?” answer: Yes! It’s a Starlink SpaceX launch from Vandenberg at 7:50pm.
Flashback 2012: I wrote about Louis CK's anti-feminism and rape culture apologia -- years before his abuse went public. Interviewed comedians and comedy writers about it.
Chk it out. Then consider the "good guy" mythology/PR he tried to cloak himself in while being actively predatory IRL.

The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!
Paging the New York Times and The Washington Post:
This is how you write a headline about Donald Trump’s unglued Easter post threatening war crimes against Iran.
Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.
I hate it so much.
This is what solidarity looks like. #NoKings
Look I’m an old leftist punk that brawled with nazi skins and I have literally nothing in common with these people but when I see a soccer mom with a Trans Kids Belong sign screaming FUCK ICE at the top of her lungs I whole heartedly welcome my unlikely new comrade
Vital to stress that the Tea Party "movement" was a Koch brothers astroturfing campaign that was orchestrated to achieve the corporate objectives of said Koch brothers.
If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today.
That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right
Enjoy this weird little video I made back when that happened: I sampled Papa John talking about eating 40 pizzas and turned it into a video of the Simpsons theme
Holy shit, this is fantastic.
Yeah it’s not going all that well for the rest of us.
Sam Kieth has passed. There are so many great comics creators I love, but Sam is on my Mount Rushmore. The Maxx was a revelation when I first read it. What a sad loss. What a great creator. I will miss your light in this world intensely.
PSA: The manufacture-on-demand DVD of The Maxx you could order circa 15 years ago is long out of print, but it's on the Archive.
It'll give you that late-night '90s art-cable vibe that's so rare these days.
I done did another of those DUNC logo generator images. This time: WHY DIDNT THEY CALL IT DUN3 it was right there
Yes, Yes, YES!!!
Citizens United needs to GO!
I would buy one, yes!
shiny happy green poster for chris van hollen, with "$0.00 received from AIPAC"
big scary red poster for Jon Ossof, with "$5,280,917 spent by pro-israel lobby groups & their donors"
AIPAC has spent money *opposing* both of these senators, while J Street has contributed to both of them
guess which senator is jewish
Ex: Delia Ramirez (who’s Methodist) and Daniel Biss (who’s Jewish) both took money from J-Street employees and neither took money from AIPAC.
Guess which one gets the red background with flames and a black & white photo, and which gets the green background with normal colors.
I see this happening. My own analysis on this is not really needed, but the actual anti-semitism is growing. I see it.
UGH my door wants to send me notifications I hate this
Happy birthday!!!
