Christopher Mills died today. I knew it was coming soon, as he has been sharing his journey on fb, but it's no less hard to hear. Really swell guy that just loved the heck out of comics. If you've never read his work, particularly Gravedigger, please check him out. Rest easy, Christopher. ❤️

We need more movies for teenagers—rather that movies resurrecting IP from when I was a teenager.

I’m disappointed to be saying this as a lifelong Trekkie, but nothing I’ve seen of Starfleet Academy is grabbing me.

I don’t care about the 32nd century, even a little bit.

Leto was the only reason I’m not going to see a TRON movie with a soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails. Literally the only reason.

Maybe studios will eventually figure out that the man is box office poison.

Schumer convinced her, because the establishment Dems are terrified of oyster farmer Graham Platner.

Can’t have a working class progressive in the Senate—god forbid! Roll up another Boomer centrist!

I really fucking hate to agree with these assholes on *anything*—but the Trumpists saying that Obama didn’t deserve the Nobel Prize are right.

It was a vibes-based decision, entirely based on the symbolism of him being elected. At the time, I had hoped he’d turn it down.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

The “Antifa” round table tells us two very clear things:

1) The regime is unarguably fascist.

And

2) Trump’s people are showing him AI video and convincing an old man with dementia that it’s real.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

The navy is already following illegal orders and committing extrajudicial murder off the coast of Venezuela. The military has already chosen.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

The union is over. Blue states must immediately stop sending any tax revenue to the regime. Starve them out.

Circular flowchart. “Too anxious to start on anything” leads into “stressed about not getting anything done,” then back to “too anxious to start on anything”—creating an endless loop.

there's a reason why half the out and out racists online have AI generated Ghibli profile pics and it's because being pro-ai in and of itself has become a dogwhistle

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right) 
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy? 
What the hammer that hath hewn it 
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee, 
Or an external franchisee?

Watched PLAY DIRTY on Prime. It’s a reasonably amusing Shane Black heist film, with way too much ridiculous CG, and an excellent Alan Silvestri score.

But no damn way is it a Parker film.

Dems- don't engage "you want healthcare for undocumented immigrants." Reply with "The shutdown is for one reason only- to hide the Epstein evidence that is so damaging to the White House." Every interview, every comment, every time.

Learn how to win in the court of public opinion one goddam time.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...
