Instead of doing something simple and effective, why not do a very a complicated form of a nothing that hands a loaded gun to your opposition? That's the Democrat Promise

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Good guys need to be focused on helping people, not on upholding norms or defending a broken system. Also, in fiction.

One time I wrote a comic set in the world of a free online game that disappeared almost immediately from the guy who did the goth Alice games and I think it honestly holds up really well. Read it free on Hoopla! www.darkhorse.com/Books/22-677...

One of my favorite stories. In 8th grade science class after we finished taking a test, a few friends and I were miming throwing an invisible ball back and forth around the classroom, while sitting at our desks. The teacher made me GET UP AND THROW THE INVISIBLE BALL IN THE TRASH.

This weekend I read FORTUNE AND GLORY: THE MUSICAL by @brianmbendis.bsky.social from @darkhorse.com and I was tricked—it was about the Spidey musical...but also a love letter to comics, one man's struggle toward making them. Really enjoyable, and I loved the @danielchabon.bsky.social post its!

Remember that one SNL sketch where Eddie Murphy wakes up as a white man and starts breaking all sorts of laws and nobody stops him? That's kinda what the federal government is like right now.

The deal to drop Adams' corruption case isn't a one-off. In the last week, Team Trump functionally decriminalized covert foreign influence and overseas bribery. Oh, and they broke up the team that was taking Russian oligarchs' yachts.

ChatGPT ad shows generative AI is totally washed. Impossible to tell what it was the first half until it started saying random prompts like "write me a business plan." Two years in and they don't have a better sales pitch than "summarise this article for me." Washed!

I pointed out something similar a few weeks ago, but beyond just mocking the media for their stupid complicity here, these articles should be a direct refutation of the admin's claims that "The American People Voted For This." Because they literally promised they weren't going to do this.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.
