A comic. “We used to have a smart speaker, but we replaced it with our kid’s Furby.” (drawing of a furby) Speech bubble: “Hey Furby, play music by “They Might Be Giants.” Furby: Lee koo The furby is wiggling while it replies.

“It ran out of batteries a while ago.” Speech bubble: Ok Furby— What’s the temperature?.. Cold? Yeah.” The furby is doing nothing. “Honestly, it works about as well as the robot we used to have,” (image of furby face close up) “…AND it doesn’t spy on our conversations to sell our data— BONUS."

“I’m thinking of putting it in the window by the door. (Image of the furby in a window of a front porch) “(For security)” “FURB HOME>SMART HOME” The furby is drawn large with slogans across it’s visage: “whimsical” “retro” “retains vague menace of smart tech but lacks actual menace to spy for govt. and corporations"

This sketchbook comic made my kid laugh harder than anything else I've ever drawn, so I am currently considering it my finest work.

It’s like $35,000 a year in Canada

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

"Haunted"

a cartoon character says i was saying boo-urns in the corner Alt: a cartoon character says i was saying boo-urns in the corner

i watched a video from a lawyer criticizing ICE & he was like "now of course nobody is saying we should stop policing the borders completely" & i was like ha ha. well. about that

am super excited to share news of my next scaaaary picture book collaboration with my loverly wife, Angela -- A VERY SCARY BOOK!

It was, in fact, glorious to watch. Never a more deserving book.

I LOVE this. One of the saddest most dangerous things about colonial societies is the exclusion of children and policing of their play as disruptive or disobedient. Seeing them involved, playing and learning in the presence of adults who are laughing and encouraging them, that’s the normal I want.

A heart shaped medieval manuscript open flat to show a page of musical score opposite a page illuminated with a colourful drawing of a richly dressed woman and an angel holding a sword and floating atop a wheel.

what if we kissed while singing little tunes from the 15th century heart shaped book of french love songs ?

Jeffrey Epstein press conference: 'We know their names': victims make their own list The survivors are compiling a list of Epstein associates, but say they are scared for their own safety.

Of course there are other facts in the files, but the victims have a lot to tell us.

breathtaking

thinking about how much shit feminists got in the 2010s for talking about “rape culture”. people HATED that term. anyway, turns out the entire culture is built around rich men having access to rape

holy shit

there has been a recent trend in design where barred Is are used everywhere (not monospace type) and it drives me insane

* The Beatles - You Never Give Me Your Money
* They Might Be Giants - Why Does the Sun Really Shine?
* The Decemberists - Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)
* Tom Waits - Misery is the River of the World
* Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York

Other good ones I didn't see anybody else mention yet:

* Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)
* Frank Zappa - What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body?
* Dar Williams - The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis of a Co-Ed
* Final Fantasy (Owen Pallett) - This is the Dream of Win and Regine

Delightful thread.

I have a lot of possible answers, but I'll go with my first impulse, which was Sufjan Stevens' "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!"

i think about her a lot... who is she...

Some terrific replies in here. Mountain Goat folk are good people.

Sir, “white settlement” has gone woke.

Every major website/company now: Yeah if we find out you post or look at a boob we will freeze all your accounts without warning
The CEO of every major website/company over Gmail: Oh Jeffrey you are simply a hoot. Lovely spending time with you on Party Pervert Pedo Island
Jeffrey Epstein: yeag ,

The entire financial and social system we operate under makes us complicit in child sex trafficking. It is vitally important for the soul of humanity that all billionaires - especially those directly involved - are punished severely, and their names tarnished and spat upon for the rest of history.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
