I have a confession to make. I’ve never been able to finish the movie Tetsuo, the Iron Man. I’ve tried watching it three times now and I just can’t. Has anybody actually seen the full thing? And if so, can you give me any reason for watching it to the end?

It was good day to whip fascism. #NoKingsDay

In a sane timeline, I would be spending my Friday night writing a think piece about Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor, not duct taping a wad of bail cash and a vial of emergency meds into my fanny pack for tomorrow’s anti-fascist demonstration. But here we are!

For what it’s worth, I’ve only been tear-gassed once in my life, and my takeaway lesson is this – do NOT try to wipe the gas away from your eyes, you will only make it 1000 times worse. Figure out which direction the wind is blowing, and walk into the wind. This is the way.

I am shocked once again by the uncanny resemblance of 18-year old Björk to my 7th-grade Dungeon Master, Pete Cisley.

Dove into Criterion’s Gene Hackman collection tonight and started with Night Moves, it was perfect “Who’s winning?” “Nobody. One side’s just losing slower than the other.”

I hope they don’t reconcile. I don’t want this to end with pianos and hugs. I want it to end with a single, shrill note from a bamboo flute, like you’d hear at the end of a samurai movie whose final shot is a crow flapping down on a pile of bloody corpses to peck out the Shogun’s left eyeball.

I made this cartoon a few months ago, decided I might as well share it now. So long, Elon!

Currently eating at a sushi bar and the sound system is playing a Japanese woman singing an a capella version of “Dust in the Wind” and OMG it is probably the greatest cover of any song I’ve ever heard.

I thank you Representative Jimmy Pannetta @usrepjimmypanetta for the courageous support you have given my friend Cliona in her fight for freedom. May she return to her family in Santa Cruz as quickly as possible.

Apropos of nothing, I have personally known 30 people in my life so far who had cancer. Only three of them died. All of the others lived, and are now cancer-free. If you’re battling cancer right now, please don’t give up hope! May the odds be ever in your favor.

It just makes no sense. ICE is keeping my friend Cliona locked up for 6 months before her deportation hearing. WHY??? They worried she’s a flight risk? That she might flee the U.S. and never come back? ISN’T THAT WHAT THEY WANT?

Update on my friend Cliona: she is looking at several months in prison awaiting her deportation hearing, after initially being told her hearing would be held May 7. The reckless cruelty of this administration is out of control.

If I were that old guy at the beginning of A Clockwork Orange, I would’ve been singing Cocteau Twins lyrics as the young alt-right thugs beat me to death. Okay not the most cheerful thought on a Friday night, but fellow Gen-Xers, you feel me, right?

One of the saddest things I have learned about conservatives is that they don’t masturbate because they’re afraid their dead grandparents might be watching them from heaven.

If you must speak in a fake Irish accent tonight, try warming up with “The seals took JEH-MEH! An’ he’s just a wee BEH-BEH!”

Just a #StPatricksDay reminder that those stereotypes of Irish people as drunken louts are only about 10% accurate. The other 90% is British propaganda. ☘️

My all-time favorite depiction of Irish stereotypes: “Up the Long Ladder,” in which the Enterprise evacuates a village of Irish peasants from a doomed planet. Once in the cargo bay they throw straw on the floor, release live chickens, and begin sucking whiskey out of the food replicators. #startrek

We're quickly approaching that holiday where I'm reminded that my ancestors' primary contributions to world culture are salty platitudes, community-enabled alcoholism, and little green men with hoarding issues. Also: no song lyric is too vulgar if it ends with "early in the mornin'." ☘️

I pray today’s children don’t grow up believing that the authoritarian madness of the past nine years is the norm. I pray that they study history, cultivate empathy, and learn critical thinking skills. I pray that they are not poisoned by the spiritual sickness of their elders.

No but seriously. People 1000 years from now will not remember our politicians. They will definitely remember Björk.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

I’ve worked in a Federally secure data environment before and I’m pretty sure if I’d ever done what Elon did I’d be in a prison cell right now awaiting trial for data theft, probably also under investigation for espionage.

Musk has as much legal authority to shut down USAID as I do to shut down Tesla, which is to say: none.
