Tom Moorman

I don’t know if he would even want to but I would love it so much if Nowlan worked on a series for a substantial run. Variant covers are cool, but if not a run, I would love to see him be the regular cover artist on a series. Also this cover is awesome.

Elitist Dems may not realize it but the #1 issue for hard-working, salt-of-the-earth Americans is ensuring the president has an adequate event space for hosting galas and luncheons

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

As you get to a certain age, especially if you're a cis man, you've either got to own up to being an idiot (or worse) in your youth or double down on it.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

Runs allowed by Dodger starting pitchers this series:

Snell - 1
Yamamoto - 3
Glasnow - 3
Ohtani - 2

Sorry hang on that's *hits* allowed by Dodger starting pitchers this series.

Dodger starters also have three home runs this series, which is odd because pitchers no longer hit.

The premiere of season 5 drops in the public feeds TOMORROW with Chapter 45: The Builder.
Where will we find our diner crew this month?

Dr. Demento - Streaming

I won't go on & on about it. But what Dr. Demento put out into the world was special. It connected who knows how many people to music they didn't know they needed. to weird music. to big laffs, which we need. his final show will cost you three bucks, but it's priceless. 3/3 drdemento.com/online.html

For nine nights now, the steady thrum of Black Hawk helicopters has circled over Portland. The sound is constant, invasive; a low mechanical beating above our homes. It’s expensive. It’s intimidating. And it’s unnecessary. Our protests have been largely peaceful. There is no insurrection here. Yet this federalized military presence makes us feel like we are living in a war zone (the very kind of chaos this administration claims to be protecting us from). The irony is painful: it is only this occupation that makes Portland feel unsafe. Each hour of helicopter flight costs taxpayers between $2,000 and $4,000, depending on crew, fuel, and maintenance. Multiply that by multiple aircraft over multiple nights, and you’re looking at hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars burned into the sky.

Meanwhile, the Woodstock Food Pantry at All Saints Episcopal Church — which feeds working families, elders, and people with disabilities — has seen its federal funding slashed by 75%. How can we justify pouring public money into intimidation while cutting aid to those who simply need to eat? This is waste, fraud, and abuse in plain sight: * Waste of public resources on military theatrics. * Fraud in the name of “public safety.” * Abuse of the communities that federal agencies claim to protect. Portland is a Sanctuary City. A sanctuary city is not a fortress. It’s a promise — a living vow that a community will protect the dignity and safety of everyone who calls it home. It means that local governments and ordinary people alike will refuse to criminalize survival. That schools, clinics, churches, and shelters will remain safe spaces no matter who you are or where you were born. But the term reaches far beyond policy. It’s an ethic of belonging; a refusal to criminalize need, difference, or desperation.

Sanctuary isn’t weakness. It’s courage. It takes moral strength to meet suffering with care instead of punishment, to believe that our neighbors’ safety is bound up in our own, to insist that safety is not achieved through force but through community, inclusion, and trust. It is living Matthew 25:40 out loud and in deed. It is an act of moral imagination and moral defiance. To hold sanctuary is to say: you belong here. When we hold space for the most vulnerable — refugees, the unhoused, the undocumented, the disabled, the working poor, the displaced — we become something larger than a collection of individuals. We become a moral body. We do more than offer charity. We offer witness. We declare that the measure of a nation is found not in its towers or tanks, but in its tenderness. Sanctuary cities are not lawless; they are soulful. They represent the conscience of the nation, a place where the laws of empathy still apply. To make sanctuary is to affirm that the United States is not merely a geographic territory, but a moral experiment: a republic that must constantly choose between fear and compassion, between domination and democracy.

A nation’s soul is measured not by the might of its military, but by the mercy of its people. When helicopters circle our skies in the name of order, while food pantries struggle to feed the hungry, we are forced to ask: What are we defending, and from whom? The soul of a nation survives only when we make sanctuary for one another. Not through walls or weapons, but through compassion and collective will. If we allow intimidation to replace compassion, we will have traded our conscience for control. Please know that despite the hum of war machines overhead, the conscience of our city — whimsical, creative, stubbornly kind — can still be heard. Portland is not the problem. Portland is the reminder. A reminder that a city can still choose to be sanctuary. That a people can still choose to be human.

This heartfelt and meaningful statement by Portland resident and author Cristina Breshears on another social media platform bears reposting here. I don't think the intent is to idealize Portland but to remind all of us what is important and why. (Posted here with permission.)

Watching dudes misinterpret and misquote watchmen is going to drive me insane if I let it. Jesus Christ. At least I can hope Moore will curse him for this shit.

Guys this is not Peter Thiel ffs yet Thiel gets more than 42 reposts! ZORRO will be murdered #nycacc! Come on! I really need some help here with him! We have a rescue 4him we need a foster on the East Coast! And tons of REPOSTS! 62k follows we can do better!

“Every time I look at that place….” It goes without saying this is untethered from reality. Someone keeps showing him archive footage …..genuinely crazy.

Since it's Black Speculative Fiction Month, I thought I'd share a story I love by a Black author each day. Since I'm starting 10 days in, I'll post a bunch to catch up. I'm going to do 15 from the Top 80 of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy and 15 from Lightspeed/Nightmare.

to be clear, the President is bombing civilians in international waters and sending the army into peaceful cities domestically but this fellow thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

The thing about Trump bailing Argentina out to the tune of 20 billion while shutting down the US government to kick Americans off healthcare…

Argentina has universal healthcare. 😑

Jane Goodall literally changed my perspective on the entire world. Not alone as an influence. Part of a collective of fiction and science that made me start to see how much we could learn through thinking creatively. What a chosen life.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

So the President is straight up picking a fight with Portland at the exact same time all Generals are called to DC and at the same time Johnson is refusing to swear in the deciding vote on releasing the Epstein files? I know, that’s not everything, but those things are all happening.

This has been a miserable season for Mookie Betts. Mysterious illness, loses 20 pounds, takes months to get his strength back, playing SS for the first time, sapped of his power, doubting himself, loss in the family. Nightmare.

He's at 4.9 WAR, 12th in the NL, above Schwarber and Tucker.

No, you were correct. Credit where due.

Fair. I actually thought it was from wolf, but I stand by it.

At least one of them seems to know they are the bad guy. He does know Nicholson is the bad guy in that, right?

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Congratulations fellas, we’ve all moved one spot up on the world’s most handsome man rankings

I love this and totally agree.

Dude, the moment when I realized you were playing both guys made me smile like an idiot. Yes, I’m a fan when folks record multiple characters in the same take.

And those two characters are so good
