I'm gonna need all the blue states to stop focusing on whether or not Canada still likes YOU because YOU are a good one and start fucking recognizing this *entire* country is going off a cliff. No Canada does not like any of us! AS THEY SHOULD NOT! leave them alone, we got our own shit to focus on!

Gavin Newson's thingy has me mad all over again. Why does CA deserve Canadian $ in the midst of the boycott? Why is CA more important here, when TN relies heavily on Canadian tourism? KY relies on Canadian stores. Why does CA feel it deserves us overlooking the rules, but not for the south?

The problem with our government right now is that the Founders imagined a maximalist version of each branch of government vigorously fighting for its own turf. They did anticipate literal senators going "oh, that's the executive's purview. Not my problem." bsky.app/profile/gleg...

i work at the factory that makes resealable snack pouches making sure the “tear here” label is too high above the ziploc thing when you rip it off. every day i leave work i get shot at in the parking lot by a half dozen guys wearing shirts tucked into jean shorts

I really think that after years in the digital wilderness, comic art at the Big Two is as good as it’s been since the mid-80s

While there's no word on an American collection yet, the Gaelic translation of my FLASH GORDON strips, translated by @garymoloney.bsky.social, will be collected in print! Heck of a thing

Today's strip with some nice rich black:

This lineup is like a MKUltra activation phrase

The DGA used to call its Lifetime Achievement Award the D.W. Griffith Award. It changed the name in 1999 in a move the National Society of Film Critics described as "a depressing example of political correctness." (which is was what they said instead of DEI, CRT or woke in those days) 🧵

When the musk/China battle plans leaked I automatically assumed it was a senior career official or general, not one of Hegseth’s senior advisers

remember this anytime literally any administration official talks about trade policy on TV

You can't blast this in your car while screaming "ESTÁ LOCA!" at periodic intervals because America isn't fun anymore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y-u...

It may seem untrue at the moment given the set of policies being undertaken by the Trumpist regime to stifle speech and freedom of movement but the era in which you could quickly terminate all discussion of Israeli apartheid by alleging antisemitism as the core motivator is coming to an end

Fetterman's belief that being the most rabidly pro Israel and pro Trump member of the Senate Democratic Party would make him popular seems to have backfired

Snuck into SoCal and saw a cool thing last night.

Hearing the same from a direct source. People in Americorps being told they're done. It's over. No notice.

hate to engage in a nighttime sword fight with a shadowy stranger only to have my opponent illuminated by a pistol shot and revealed to be my brother-in-arms!

Spin off book with just John Waters Goblin butler.

What do you think we've got here?

This is actually legitimately bonkers? bsky.app/profile/linc...

closest I have ever come to clicking on one of these bad boys

It’s really jarring when you see the video for Together In Electric Dreams and are alerted to how terrible the film Electric Dreams is

There’s something in the water in Silicon Valley (derogatory). I just don’t understand how you could look objectively at developments in the post WWII era in the US and decide that the government has been strangling innovation. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

if i could ask one thing of bluesky it is when someone is livetweeting a court proceeding you not muck up the replies with insipid commentary. if you have a sincere question, fire away, but who are you writing "as if!" for?

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.
