whoa this is wild, my last three followers could be triplets, man anything can happen on Bluesky and does

"Pushing some" SOME? SOME?? Indian Americans supporting this party are fully self-loathing bootlicking fascists. Fam, your proximity to white supremacy was NEVER going to protect you.

Like many others I assumed this was funny hyperbole -- "call in the national guard!" type of thing -- but no it's a description of events.

People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.

Musk and the White House flipping a "Kill Switch" on SpaceX's Starshield (aka military Starlink) means our allies can no longer trust any advanced networked weapons they buy from the US. E.g. There's no instant Kill Switch in the F-35, but there are slow Kill Switches gizmodo.com/the-pentagon...

1. Spider-Man is tough but he can't handle Parliament. Even the JLA and Avengers together can't match them for pure funk. 2. I want a Parliament and DMC comics crossover.

But, mind you, never enough to do more about it than give an eye-roll to someone nearby who I thought would get it. And that’s how it’s continued.

Leary was an egotist, loved the fame that championing acid had brought, and was a man of his era. Isaac Asimov boasted of never meeting a woman he didn’t proposition, was grabbier than Leary at sf cons, so it was familiar behavior to me, and I found it repulsive, embarrassing.

That’s a radiant Mrs GD in the foreground, with Leary beside and slightly behind her, looking grabby, which he definitely was.

I recommend blocking or muting Yglesias on all platforms. He is a broken shoelace.

By covering up the murder of Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old black boy, to secure his 2015 re-election and then cowardly refusing to face Chicago voters in 2019 after the exposed coverup made him a pariah, yeah sure okay Rahm never technically "lost" but Laquan lost. Chicagoans lost. That's worse.

Hero Initiative is sold out of the Nocturnals Anniversary Art book, but our friends @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social have just a precious few copies left! Get you here for your last chance on this awesome book! shop.thirdeyecomics.com/products/her...

Excellent write up on cost/benefit for artists at increasingly-pricy shows. One of the reasons that I, and so many others, so esteem HeroesCon, is that they curate and comp tables for a LOT of artists, including "new" artists. My first "real" table was at Heroes... www.comicsbeat.com/is-artist-al...

he's just good at this, man.

Bastet Kayce But excited to read everyone else's ideas and see which idea Katie picks!

As a Muslim who has been accused of dual loyalty and asked to denounce everything from ISIS to the Iranian state, I breathed a sigh of relief that I think I’d been holding in for like two decades watching this.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Have I mentioned how much I love @geneha.com recently?

Russian diesel is not certified to meet U.S. standards and is unlikely to undergo certification. If Russian diesel ever makes its way to the United States, good luck to anyone who puts it in their vehicles.

Russians have recently been complaining en masse about poor-quality diesel fuel and equipment breakdowns. Diesel fuel is being diluted and quality standards are not being met. Diesel fuel standards in Russia and the United States are not identical.

I finish two full color pages per week, start to finish without assistants, but considering they look like this, I think two a week is about all I'll ever accomplish lol

What she says

Guys, this post got me a Bsky blue check. I couldn't be happier that this is how it happened.

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

I admit to being rather confused when some folks offer that Andrew Tate should face the death penalty for his sex crimes when it's a well-known fact he was brutally murdered by Greta Thunberg back in 2022.

My new mini prints got more and more unhinged as I drew them.

Farewell to Eva Marie Saint, the sharpest and sexiest of the Hitchcock blondes who got to wear one of the best dresses in cinema history

My writer friend Brad Meltzer and artist pal @chriseliopoulos.com contain MULTITUDES! Including Taylor Swift and Wilbur & Orville Wright! I wish I was in Chicagoland for their book tour, but I'll be having my own author adventures at @mncbaorg.bsky.social Fall Con in St Paul MN www.mncba.org

I've donated 2 pages of original art from my comics: the cover to Batman & Robin #19, and for the first time since the 90s a page from Cyclops & Phoenix!
