A federal judge on Monday struck down key parts of an Arkansas law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing “harmful” materials to minors, calling it unconstitutional. Take that, Upchuck Hucklefuck. #Sheshed

Still guilty.

Yes, but have you ever been in a rain forest under the canopy when it rains? The leaves break up the heavy rain drops and you end up buffeted by this...I want to call it warm mist. It's magical. At first. Then the leaves get proper wet, and you get drenched, and it becomes dark magic of misery.

Elon Musk looks like rancid mayonnaise that finally got fed up and decided to rule the world. Imagine if Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor, Magneto, and the Joker were one person. Now, imagine if they were made of rancid mayonnaise. There you go. Argue with ya mama.

Fresh Comics will be entering its 15th year of operation next year. I'm looking to recreate the network of comic shops that we used to follow elsewhere, so if you know any local comic shops, send them my way! And if you're a local shop, let me know if we're up-to-date on our map. #LocalComicShops

Note that I'm also looking to follow conventions. Let me know if your convention is missing from my calendar. We have some big plans for the site and app in '25, but want to reconnect with all our folks here first. #ComicConventions #PopCultureConventions #ComicCon #C2E2 #NYCC

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

"Prompt Engineers" swear they are doing something b/c they had A Thought. But you fools. You bores. You absolute fucking turnips. The Art isn't the Thought, the Idea. The Art is The Work. And this isn't some art hoe bullshit, this is about craft.

Not all deaths are mourned.
