RIP Jonathan Joss - John Redcorn on King of the Hill. 59. Murdered by a Texan homophobe with a gun. According to his husband, Tristan, Johnathan shoved Tristan out of the way and took the bullet meant for him. He dies a hero, but shouldn't be dead. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

As the saying goes, those who don't remember our history are doomed to repeat it. That's what inspired Martin Mycielski to compile what came to be known as the Authoritarian Regime Survival Guide ahead of Trump's first term. And now, perhaps it's time—or past time—to dust it off once again.

Again, I have done the thing. New toon: the presser and the coverage. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Happy Pride Month to my LGBTQIA+friends and family. Sorry 2025 has been particularly rough for those in the US and UK.

This is why I’ve been saying Iran is what concerns me the most right now. There have been credible signs of Iran accelerating their uranium enrichment in recent months, and today it was confirmed by the IAEA. Going to be harder to hold Israel back now. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Just in time for Pride Month.

Before reading this - I noted to someone corporate media's "job" is making $ selling outrage. Seth writes: "Corporate media reports the news in whatever way it believes will maximize revenue, and then acts scandalized when...contraventions of journalistic mores [illuminate] precisely no one."

Here is the sort of dissection—a vivisection—many have been waiting for. I hope you will check it out and share it widely. This book deserves to be discredited.

RIP Actor and horror legend Ed Gale, 61. Best known for being the body actor for "Howard the Duck," and "Chuckie" (Child's Play). He niece posted a hell of a eulogy. I think I'd have liked the man. STATION! www.aol.com/ed-gale-chuc...

RIP author Peter David, 68. He'd suffered from health issues for three years, and finally lost the battle with his illness. Oress coverage focused on his comic books, but he was also a novelist - media tie ins (Babylon 5, Star Trek, etc) and original series. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

RIP Les Dilley - legendary art/set/production designer. 84 is a good run. Superman (1978), Star Wars, Alien, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Abyss, An American Werewolf in London - only some of the films he designed. deadline.com/2025/05/les-...
