OU student says Bible reference in assignment led to zero; See full essay OU placed a graduate instructor on administrative leave after a student alleged religious discrimination over a failed assignment. The university says a review is underway.

That's not why you got a zero, Samantha. You got a zero because you ignored the parameters of the assignment. It really is that simple.

Also, welcome to college.

I need a minor coloring correction on a comic I've been working on for years. Who's available?

Let me know your rates and we can discuss!

Tasneem and her family with the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them. ❤️"

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza so she can feed her children and raise funds to rebuild. They rely on our donations to survive. No amount is too small. And find and help others if you can. ❤️🙏

Alright, comic fans:

What's the best single issue you've read this year so far?

To everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday, THANK YOU :)

It was a really great day!

And just like that, I'm 34.

Kennedy Says He Told C.D.C. to Change Website’s Language on Autism and Vaccines

I work hard to change the language around autism, so seeing this man tamper with federally-backed medical information infuriates me.

I'm autistic, and I worry every day that people think I'm subhuman.

RFK's crusade isn't against autism. It's against ME and others like me. It's against PEOPLE.

Just dandy! How're you?

You bet your ass this was a Day 1 purchase.

‘Legend of Zelda’ Movie First Look Reveals Link and Zelda in Live Action The first look at Sony and Nintendo's live-action "Legend of Zelda" movie is here.

I inhale just about everything Zelda, and I'm pleased to report this will not be an exception.

@jimmypalmiotti.bsky.social great to connect on here!

Feeling this so hard right now 🤠

My interview with author @travisbaldree.bsky.social is in today's print edition of The Seattle Times!

I had a blast talking with him, and I think you'll have just as much fun hearing what he had to say about his "Legends & Lattes" series.

This Spokane author's book series is like a 'Hallmark fantasy' movie in writing Spokane-based author and audiobook narrator Travis Baldree's new novel, “Brigands & Breadknives,” is a change of pace from the series' two previous books.

For The Seattle Times, I spoke with the fabulous @travisbaldree.bsky.social about the latest installment in his "Legends & Lattes" series, "Brigands & Breadknives," out Nov. 11 from @torbooks.bsky.social!

A popular refrain amongst conservatives --- especially after Charlie Kirk's death --- has been to denounce the left as heartless hate mongers who scream for the blood of the right.

Meanwhile, you've got far-right "pundits" saying things like this with little to no opposition.

Repulsive.

Loved "Predator: Badlands," though it didn't do quite as much for me as "Prey" did.

The story is thin but focused, and while I found Dek's unearned evolution from weakest link to peerless fighter jarring, he's relatable enough that I wasn't too bothered by this nonsensical progression.

Halloween party 2025!

So excited to dig into this. Your Conan run has been insanely good!

It's November! That means I'll finally own the @criterion.bsky.social edition of HELL'S ANGELS, which is easily one of my most anticipated physical media releases this year.

The most important things I've done for myself as a writer in digital media are:

• Setting up an authory page so my portfolio auto-updates and backups exist if the websites go under.
• Backing up my contacts list monthly. You WILL NOT be given time to collect them upon layoff, you WILL lose them.

Everybody say hi to Reverb the Tokay gecko, the newest addition to my household! He is an *asshole*, and I love him.

Gecko judgment is an entirely different animal, and I've got a feeling this little guy is gonna give me some truly legendary sass.

Some of this week's NCBD haul:

If you look around and can't see that shit is broken and that it has always been broken, you're either not looking or you're the one breaking it.

Dozens of States Sue Trump Administration Over Planned Food Stamp Cuts

Politics these days--- namely just about everything the Trump administration believes in--- is really just a race to see who can fuck the most people over the fastest, and then rewarding those whose actions have the most devastating impact.

Literally the opposite of how it's supposed to work.

I don't think I've ever looked more like a writer (a horrifically sleep-deprived one) than I do this morning.

Best fast food fries besides McDonald's...GO!

I sure was one hell of a five-year-old.

Second suspect wanted in In-N-Out restaurant assault The Austin Police Department is looking for help identifying two men who assaulted a person at an In-N-Out restaurant.

"He was last seen wearing a cowboy hat, what appeared to be a leather vest, shorts, and chaps."

Hey, if you're gonna do your crimin', might as well do it in something approximating style.

Being autistic, I can't always read social cues. Please keep this in mind whenever you want to convey something wordless or subtle to me. It's best to be more direct than you think you have to be.

I'm not being oblivious to screw with you. I'm just extremely clueless in a very specific way.

Big "MilkyWave" announcement comin' at ya within the next few weeks.

I cannot wait to share this comic with y'all!
