Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

The energy I bring to the function

Extremely metal

"Science fiction lends itself readily to imaginative subversion of any status quo. Bureaucrats and politicians, who can't afford to cultivate their imaginations, tend to assume it's all ray-guns and nonsense, good for children." - Ursula K. Le Guin (2012) [Anthology idea: Ray-guns and Nonsense]

Listen.

"controversial gesture" Is there anything LESS controversial than a Nazi salute? Everyone knows exactly what it is. Everyone knows it's bad. See? Zero controversy.

"Are you not gonna comply?" Okay, somebody teach the kids about BITCH PLANET. #NonCompliant

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

“Why is the President of the United States acting like his country just lost a major war to its chief rivals…?” 🤔

Those crazy storylines where Lex Luthor became President, or Norman Osborne became the Director of SHIELD… suddenly seem a lot more plausible.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Smashing Rhaegar on the Trident does.

Any of you comics creators already suffering due to AI theft? Get in touch - a journalist is interested!

I only got 4 hours sleep, and tinnitus is ringing my head like a bell. Somehow I don’t think this is going to be a wildly productive day. Even though it needs to be.

I read Fire & Blood, and then I reread A Song of Ice & Fire, and now I’m rereading A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Reluctant to leave Westeros. It makes more sense than this place.

Can’t sleep. Head full of worries.

The news is too depressing, so I’ll just relax with one of my favourite movies from the ‘90s— … Oh.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

“Contrary to Kremlin propaganda occasionally parroted by Westerners, there are few wars in which responsibility is as clear-cut as this one.”

I am so fucking stressed.
