4 strings and a lot of Christmas Spirit. Bass guitar in Missile Toe, the World's Greatest Christmas Band. I like comics, bicycling and role playing games - but not as much as some people. Pronounced House-ton. Not Hues-ton. He/Him. Cleveland.

One of the fortunate accidents of this particular group of Fascists is that they all basically trained on the right wing of the Internet, so their real world skills keep lacking.

I'm beginning to think the Bari Weiss person might not be very good at her job, either the one where she is meant to be head of a news organization, or the one where she is meant to be a right-wing propagandist in a news organization

One perennial issue with right-wing types has been their opinion that they're always the smartest person in the room, and, also perennially, how whiny and discomfited they get when it's shown that they are not and that their cheap rhetorical tricks and patterns don't work on everyone.

What's actually going to fuck up Microsoft is the US' current enshittified federal government, which has caused many other nations across the world to decide to stop using US-based software and pursue their own (usually open-source-based) alternatives.

so what we *really* need is for MS to enshittify their products so much as to overcome even the inertia of the publishers. luckily that seems to be their goal too. 😉

President Trump and the Republicans had a two year romp through every political fantasy nourished in their heart since The John Birch Society and Richard Nixon, and you know what: it turns out their ideas were bad and are tanking the economy.

There isn't really a comics Mafia, of course. Unless you count Vince Colletta, who in fairness did spend his days rubbing people out

My kid thinks I'm basically a UK comics mafia boss

China must enjoy watching their dictator dog-walk the president of the United States, who then thanks him for the walk?

Jon Husted just voted to continue the Iran war for the 14th time. While Ohioans are paying record high costs at the gas pump and the grocery store, Jon Husted is voting for more war – and costing you more money – every chance he gets.

Karl Rove is not complaining about racists in the Republican party because he suddenly developed a conscience. He's doing it because he can see the coming blowout for Democrats, and is trying to distance himself from what he helped build.

It is insanely funny that trump is so colossally dumb that he found ways that maybe no one else would have to make it absolutely right and factual for you to blame him

That Dale Guy reposted

I need younger generations to understand how weird it is that trump is such a unique terrible fuck up that it’s actually correct to blame the president for a demonstrably shittier economy and costs

The thing about Harvey Comics is the way they made kid-friendly entertainment out of scary monsters: Ghosts, witches, devils, giants, billionaires...

I am physically sick struggling to explain this Natalie business to my son’s Bayler & Kryss. They saw Bret Ratner’s superb “Melania” doc opening night with friends & have been inspired for years by the First Couple’s enduring love. Is it all a lie??? What do I do?? @support

In less than two weeks, Missile Toe will be at the Tiki Underground with our pal Miss Dreadful. We'll be playing some pretty OK covers for you. Music is from 6 to 9 pm. TU has drinks and great food. I had tacos last time I was there and they were delish. #TikiUnderground
