JD Vance is Sephiroth posting on Twitter, which suggests he's bothered by the repeated insistence on the humanity of the people disappeared by the Trump administration. Good, may he be haunted forever by his failure to see other people as human.

I'm very comfortable being a little extra and frankly annoying about JK Rowling and how I think her heart is ugly and small, petty and vicious

I think focusing on Abrego Garcia is right, if that “one victim a tragedy, a million victims a statistic” saying is true, putting a face on the depraved inhumanity of this regime is what we have to do to hopefully wake more people up to what’s going on. This guy has to be brought home to his family

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

I guess first you live through a Paul Verhoeven film and it gradually turns into a George Miller film

I wonder if Roman elites watching the fall of their empire also thought: “This is so stupid.”

I can’t not watch his show any harder than I already do, but kudos I guess to Bill Maher for seeing this world historical corruption, demagoguery, attack on rule of law and human rights abuses, and determining that the problem is that liberals aren’t being tolerant enough

A Passover story I love was in 2012 when my daughter was 3, there was a gas smell at my in-laws during the Seder and we called 911. She said for a few years afterwards she remained under the impression that Elijah was a fireman.

With some notable exceptions Democrats seem to think “letting Trump be Trump” is their best path back. They might not be wrong, he’s a maniac and has brought us to the brink in a matter months, but I don’t want to be at the brink, I want a real opposition party that tries to stop us from going over!

Maybe it seems like following a cartoonist like me only gets you lots of bellyaching about the challenges of having chosen this career but honestly I love making comics and feel so fortunate to have found this one way of telling stories and connecting with people

Mystery Men is on Tubi, I haven’t seen this one in a long time. It’s got that late-90’s cheap kinda ugly film quality to it, but it’s still very funny and largely holds up. I like all the performances but my favorite line delivery is Paul Reubens The Spleen announcing that he feels carsick.
