Trump is terrified of being forgotten (with good reason). He knows we’ll undo everything he’s done and try to bury him in the annals of history.

President Trump mused that he could rebrand either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, following his efforts to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. “We call it ‘Trump Ocean’ or, or, ‘Ocean of the Americas,’ something like that,” Trump said.

Remember the kid that tried to BS his way through an oral report on a book he didn’t read? He’s now the President.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up? I still have it, but it’s in dubious condition.

THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER premieres on AMC today in time for the fall & Halloween. It’s a 6-episode gauntlet starring Dan Stevens, Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Stephen Root… This show was a 4-year odyssey. It’s harrowing and human. And if you can’t wait, watch it all on AMC+ & Shudder right now.

At 20 I’d given up the idea of a Computer Science degree and moved to Mass Communications. FF to today and, thanks to jumping on the early WWW bandwagon, I’ve now been in IT for 30 years. I think I’d be impressed.

Cartoon: Inspired by the Bob Mackie tributes yesterday (and a love of Carol Burnett who I grew up on). It's been awhile since I've drawn Jessica and Roger and they seemed like a good choice for this great costume moment in television history.
