I can’t participate in #hourlycomicsday this time bc I’m too far behind on work, but… I’m discouraged to report that the one I made in 2024 keeps getting more true with each passing year, so gonna just post it again 😣

What Must Be Done? The Battle Against Fascism Podcast Episode · It Could Happen Here · 02/05/2026 · 39m

Last month the Japanese American National Museum asked me to deliver a keynote speech on what is necessary to combat authoritarianism and preserve democracy. You can listen to it and the Q&A that followed here:

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

“Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death,” an AO3 fic in which Isaac Chotiner interviews the guy who runs the lottery in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, is astounding. archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

200 free meals served to our community. 1000+ hours of work from our volunteers. 150 kilos of food received, cooked and served. 14 days of operation. Photos show two people smiling, with thumbs up. One is holding a cabbage.

£1041 total income, all from donations. £941.17 spent in December. £375.69 spent on food. £500 on rent, paid to The Proud Trust. £65.48 on kitchen supplies. Photo shows a table full of food including tinned food and vegetables, many with yellow discount stickers.

Here's some of the headline numbers from our first month of operations!

We've sent out a stakeholder report this week, sharing some updates from the hub, so we thought we'd share some of the highlights here too. If you want to read the full report, just click the link in our bio.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

as i argued in this episode a few months ago, i think there is actually a coordinated propaganda machine encouraging people to use cars as deadly weapons, but kristi noem won’t admit that it’s fox news.

Zack Polanski C @ZackPolanski Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience. © Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.

The government had long wanted @a transition of power” in Venezuela and kidnapping a president is a super simple way to do it - well done everyone - it’s Satan I feel sorry for , such company for eternity

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It's worth reading the whole interview in full. It basically verifies that the NYT has spent the past decade-plus doubling down on top-down narratives for coverage, getting more intense over time.

Sulzberg personally picked & chose whom the news apparatus would target and whom it would kiss up to.

Look at 'em 🥹 It's going in a frame, thank you so much ❤️‍🔥

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Carol of the Bells in #
Kyiv subway.

Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.

Thankful to everyone who stands with us!

A four panel comic strip, though the arrangement is a bit atypical. There is one central frame and then the subsequent frames shoot off from its sides, the text working as a guide from one panel to the next. In the first, a news anchor seated at a desk says "in local news, wolf attacks are on the rise outside Shuntberg. Channel 7 has an exclusive with one of the wolf attack victims. We now see a bald, pale man laying on the ground in a pool of his own blood, looking cross, saying "oh, you guys want me to talk about the wolves, huh? Typical media." The man is being eaten by a wolf now in frame. He is going down the wolf's mouth whole, up to his sternum, one arm down the wolf's gullet. "When are you guys going to focus on the REAL issues? Have you seen the new Arby's ad? The guy in it didn't look like me at all." The man is now almost entirely down the wolf's throat, nothing remaining outside but his bloody face, the wolf has a contended, if vacant expression. "How can I imagine myself eating the Big Cheesy Beef Pile if the guy doesn't look like me? Go woke, go broke I say."

The worst thing about these misinformed stories about ‘exodus’ of #PolesinUK - not really backed by data - is that they STILL have a whiff of awful sense of superiority of “how bad Britain must be if they’re going back to their poor, awful countries,” as per this poll.
