nervously humming along with the Weyland-Yutani customer care hotline hold music as screams of terror draw ever nearer

Bluto with some solid dating advice.

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

CABLE fans! Art from issue #1 of LOVE & CHROME is freshly available at Comic Art House. Timeslide on over if that’s your thing! comicarthouse.com/ArtistGaller...

I only got one retweet for these kids. Perhaps I should have made an inflammatory click bait rage post instead of suggesting an actual positive action one could take. Sad.

Makes sense. It's not really a mind.

I sometime wish the comics biz was more, well, businesslike. And then I picture editors being pressured to consult a Sabermetrics freelancer database with sales numbers, creativity rankings, on-time percentages, and Stan-to-Jack ratios and suddenly I’m glad we’re on a different path.

I would sincerely love it if Ritchson runs on a "I will beat Matt Gaetz (to death, with my fists)" platform.

​​Sometimes I use the Cambridge Comma. It's like the Oxford comma, but costs $20k a year more.

If you can’t successfully message against this you don’t deserve another cent in fundraising and should go the way of the Whigs.

I support Boeing rushing this job.

No Gods, No Kings, No More Batman Discourse Please I'm Begging You.

Uh team is Elon about to rob Fort Knox

President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump have decided that you don't deserve to feel safe when you fly.

OK, this is important, comics folk & fans. CARE ABOUT THIS! The Trump Junta is banning books from libraries on military bases. His goons are purging shelves of any books that push “radical indoctrination” of kids. What IS that? Whatever they say it is. All of MAGAland will then ban these books.

“maybe you can take a job from someone who is vastly more qualified for it then you just by having far less ethical standards about labor while also basically cheating” is the gleaming future of opportunity offered to you by this billionaire

Summarizing Elon Musk's government takeover thus far in under 60 seconds:

Just learned a great new word to describe the Cybertruck: "Wankpanzer," and friends, I laughed hard and I laughed long.

This is why Comic Book Yeti is the best. Lots of comics people say they support community and different voices, but Yeti actually listens and puts their neck on the line to do what's right. Let's all support them if we can since they ditched Substack

Whoa.

@kristyvalenti.bsky.social of @comicsjournal.bsky.social was kind enough to interview me about the changing landscape of syndication and comic strips during my time at King Features! I hope you enjoy it! www.tcj.com/king-feature...

Enshittification ho!

When the metaphor SCREAMS at you to wake the fuck up

Roses are red Our resolve hasn't faltered

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

these cabinet announcements are like an advent calendar counting down to the apocalypse

Republicans don’t “want children to die.” They want WEAK children to die. It doesn’t matter how passively or directly they’re saying it, from Joe Rogan to RFK to Elon Musk. It’s eugenics. They hate the sick, and the disabled, and the vulnerable. And their “cost-efficient” solution is the final one.

Time to reup my vaccinations, I guess, before High Minister Wormbrain fucks it all up.

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

Renée Fleming, Shonda Rhimes, and Ben Folds have resigned from their positions at the The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. A center for the performing arts doesn’t actually need performing artISTS, right?

Accurate.

Screaming into the void

Boomers say the darnedest things.

My editor's sense of humor is occasionally spiky. Heh.

Dear GOP: The movie IDIOCRACY wasn't meant to be aspirational.

we have a bingo.

I hear Susan Collins might consider maybe becoming concerned about the rule of law. Our elected representatives decided, for more than 7 years, ever since the quashing of the Meuller report, that we didn't dare pick fights with Republicans in court. This was the inevitable result.

Of all the possible dystopias, why did it have to be Judge Dredd?

Weird naming choice but okay
