From MCMLXXV #3, 2018

CNN reports that the oligarch is building a "master database to speed-up immigration enforcement and deportations by combining sensitive data from across the federal government" with the help of Palantir, to create "targeting lists". That all sounds very very bad. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

Hey I have the entirety of my first full comic, The Yankee, to read over there (I'm also on Zack's podcast somewhere in there too)

If I had a quarter for every time I see some cool looking indie game that’s only on PC and think, “I’ll have to remember to play that whenever I get a PC again.” I would literally have at least a couple hundred bucks…and I can’t remember a dang one of ‘em!

This is why they don’t want to do due process.

We need to keep repeating that US Citizens cannot be deported. Only trafficked out of the country. ICE and the Trump Administration trafficked a child to a foreign country.

I see Nermal got a job at the fortune cookie factory 🙄

Please give me a job of any kind thank you

It's here and it's gorgeous. Coming this August...

Is it a recession indicator that like two minutes into the start of a hiring event for a busser job at a restaurant there were so many people I just left

JUST IN: A Milwaukee judge has been arrested this morning allegedly because she “tried to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week.” There’s not a lot of info on this yet so stay tuned for more as it is released. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant). She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Everyone I spoke to told me I was stupid, but I wondered: what if they're wrong?

I love this song

Over 216,000 people lost their jobs for this and are now left at the whims of an absolutely ruthless job market which is about to get much worse. How many will become homeless? How many will be unable to pay for medical care? Musk should be in prison, for a start.

a few kind listeners who work in bookshops/places that tolerate flyers asked if there's something they can print out and put up to promote the show. The result is below. I would really appreciate anyone who felt like doing this but no pressure at all, ofc. (yes, this is my big year three promo push)

Love to get an alert on my phone saying I have a new notification on LinkedIn, go to see if it’s an employer having responded to a message or visited my profile, and see this. Yeah, no shit!

Hey y'all, in light of being suddenly laid off, I've got a emergency fund going while I try and figure out next steps. I know things are tough for a lot of people right now but if you can afford to share or boost this, it would truly mean a lot! gofund.me/1f8f774c

Just had an A+ movie idea but it's a medical drama, a genre I couldn't care less about. I will sell it to you for $100,000, thank you

Chris Warner, 1989

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

only the lonely

Does posting on Goodreads move the needle for authors at all? Hard to imagine it does especially in 2025 when social media being useful to artists is a thing of the past, but if anyone has had positive experiences I'd be curious to hear them.

In an effort to explore Goodreads more as an author I've set it so you can ask me questions on my author page. Is this a good idea? I do not know. But feel free to ask away! www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Sometimes I just say "Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers" out loud to give my mouth a little fun bit of exercise

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Rewatching Andor S1 before I leap into the new season and it really is kind of wild how far this outclasses everything and everyone else working at this scale of blockbusterdom in every possible category.

Saw an ad for an AI app that can replace the singer in a song with your voice and it showed a guy crying tears of joy while listening to himself doing the Kendrick song about Drake being a pedophile.
