Just finished ALTER EGO. Wow. Not only is it one of the best novels I've read in years, it's also both a beautiful love letter to the comics medium and a nuanced deep dive into a flawed industry. Well done, @alexsegura.bsky.social.

This by @gilduran.com is as efficient summary of the method in Musk's chaos as I've seen. www.theframelab.org/elon-musk-do...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

HUGE COMICS NEWS! I'm writing a new SILVER SURFER book, drawn by Sumit Kumar, with covers by Dike Ruan, edited by Tom Groneman! I freaking love Norrin Radd and this book is gonna be one of the best things I've ever worked on. Absolute dream team. Do not miss, friends! comicbook.com/comics/news/...

As a former Marvel editor who worked on multiple takes on the Silver Surfer, I can't stress how difficult a character he is to really get right. If anyone can do it, Greg can do it. If any team can do it, this team can do it. I'll definitely be checking this out and you should, too! #comics

Work retreat-reunion with some Kubert School buddies. Putting together a jam piece of Joe’s best, so you know I had to throw #sergeantROCK in there!! #joekubert #dccomics #makecomics

A bunch more AANHPI / Asian American creators are showing up here, so I made another starter pack! go.bsky.app/S79uyem

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

"If we don't allow politicians to converse in a way that isn't reduced to simplicities, that leaves a vacuum of complexity filled by populists who sound like they are talking with substance" A big win of the modern right has been to close the space in which nuance can even sit. My culture piece 👇

Flight delayed, AMA

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

I’m going to do this. Are you? H/T to @lavd46.bsky.social !

Screenrant says some nice things about the JOHN WICK comics I wrote for Dynamite, drawn by Giovanni Valletta and @mattgaudio.bsky.social! screenrant.com/john-wick-5-...

I’d always wondered where the chatter was about adapting those books!

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired. You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION. Don't TALK about the price of eggs. Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"

I would HIGHLY recommend, SLICE OF LIFE from @philfalcowrites.bsky.social @comicuno.bsky.social Valeria Peri @tayloresposito.bsky.social I Really like the approach of the series & the characters are pretty down to earth/relatable. CHECK IT OUT! Here is a fan animation I made based off the cover!

The more corrupt you are, the more useful you are to this administration. @gtconway.bsky.social

Yes, we let a rich idiot nobody elected destroy the entire government, but it was that or make rich people pay taxes so that poor people could go to the doctor

The circumstances are “we’re not sure if there is a Federal Trade Commission anymore and we’d like to try something”

Sharing this again, friends - it's urgent. Adams serves Trump, not New York. And the best and maybe only way for citizens to push him out is to defeat him in the Democratic primary in June. So please register as a D by the end of day TOMORROW online! That's the online deadline - let's do this!

Deceased 🤣💀

Not all heroes wear capes.... sometimes they're just 4-year olds with zero fucks to give.

DOGE's cuts are having a really immediate and negative impact on local farms and they could really use support. I'll plug Dashing Star Farm for any crafters who follow me--their online shop has nice wool yarn: www.dashingstarfarm.com/yarn-handkni... Can folks share other farms with online shops?
