I interviewed legendary activist Yuri Kochiyama decades ago, and this is what she told me about marching in protests, "I like it because it’s a people’s thing. It’s not an individual thing. It’s all the things that people do together that gives you strength.”

It's not that I think Conservatives depend on "misinformation" (ie lies) so much that it's made them lazy, it's that they rely on their voters being extremely stupid, and train them to be.

If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

For context, our annual deficits are currently $1.8 trillion-with-a-T per year – a number likely to grow as the economy crashes from the tariffs and income tax receipts drop Elect a clown, get a circus

This was Marvel's second stab at a THOR black-and-white magazine. The first, by Steve Englehart, John Buscema and Tony deZuniga, was printed (in color) as THOR ANNUAL 5.

"We can be realistic about how dark things have gotten and retain the hope necessary to fight what could well be a long, even generational struggle to reclaim American democracy." Unsettling overview of how off the rails everything has gotten:

#startrek #startrekmemes This one is right in the feels.

The Verge completely owned the story of the last time Trump tried to bring manufacturing back to America. www.theverge.com/c/2150796…

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Godzilla Vs. Chicago. Part of the Godzilla vs. America series from IDW, this is an amazingly fun anthology of the Big G visiting the Windy City. Hey, IDW, I’d be available for Godzilla vs. Cleveland. Just saying. 4-5-25.

this book is great and not getting the attention it deserves.

I’m glad that DC is bringing him back. (Sometimes. Occasionally.) There’s nothing wrong with having an effeminate gay character, and even if he was a bit…camp, he was still one of the best parts of the New Guardians.

The American Plan to Eliminate Vaccines www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social "Vaccines do not cause autism. I have recently written about how we know that vaccines are safe. You can also spend a day reading the many, many credible papers answering this question."

Tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will hit the streets in the US for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic. With so many new folks marching, rallying, and taking action, there’s a growing need to disseminate information on keeping ourselves & others safe.

ICYMI I have a new novelette out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social! It's formatted like Goodreads-style reviews where two friends bond and lose and find each other over a beloved fantasy series. A story about frienship, queerness, fandom, second chances.

Heartening number of pro-trans signs at the protest.

The rich are fat and I'm hangry.

sort of buried here is the fact that corporate leaders absolutely loathed Biden, because he had the most aggressive antitrust and pro union policies of any president in 50 years. maybe more. 1

The 2016 Comfortably Numb Fan Edit video is now unlisted on YouTube. It's a well-crafted fusion of two different "post Pink Floyd" concerts. One featuring David Bowie on guest vocals - and the other Eddie Vedder. Y'all might want to d/l an archive, just in case. youtu.be/Ob2VbWPTVhc

How does @foxesandroses.bsky.social always knock it out of the park? This story is so utterly delightful. Warm, funny, generous, poignant, and with just the right amount of darkness. I love so much about this!

It's not a matter of if, but when.

I was just talking about this with my brothers, who are also both union men. One works transportation, one’s an electrician, I’m a screenwriter. Our common security doesn’t come from the nature of our work (they find mine hilarious), it comes from our common union membership.

I’m at the NYC anti-Trump protest, where thousands upon thousands of people have shown up in the cold rain. I can’t see the start or end of the crowd.

I like it when Americans do things that make me like them again. America, you owe this kid a lot.

A reminder after just having seen @catvalente.bsky.social post about this to her Patreon, if you are signing up to back *anyone's* Patreon -- mine or anyone else's -- *do not do it through the app*. Apple takes 30% of the money off the top *and* holds it for 75 days before passing it on.

Happy Spring everyone!

Calgary's Italian bakery does a pretty good English muffin.

As someone who hates drawing cars, it sucks that the easiest car to draw is an exploding status symbol made by and for the worst people on earth.
