Nothing quite like a little bebe! Even now that my daughter is three years old, I was stunned when I had a chance to hold a newborn earlier this year and was so worried about holding him wrong!

There has to be a reckoning for this, for all of it. No more “look forward, not back” nonsense. Not this time. Those who ordered this evil shit, and those who carried those orders out *must* be held to account.

Even though Superman wasn't perfect and Peacemaker was definitely less than perfect, I've been much more excited about the DCU input because of how different and fresh it's been.

Marc Benioff Says Trump Should Send Guard Troops to San Francisco

I think the takeaway of this time is that people and organizations are being invited to share the truth about themselves. It may be ugly, but the ugly truth is probably better than a nice-looking illusion that’s rotten to its core.

And export controls on "critical software." This has to be giving a great deal of businesses heart attacks right now. How much longer will they be silent?

Shut the heck up

That's my new taunt.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest. There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day. What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid. It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Yes, there are some connections to The Suicide Squad and Superman (2025), but the show provides enough background on those connections, and there's enough to make the show stand on its own.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Great finale! But now I am dying to know what comes next, how this will bridge to Man of Tomorrow and what other shows/movies could continue the stories of these characters! Probably not a Checkmate show?

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Venezuela is Trump’s useful enemy Despite the president’s claims, the South American country is nowhere close to being the US’s biggest drug supplier

"None — repeat none — of America’s fentanyl has been found to originate from Venezuela. Yet Trump and Pete Hegseth, his compulsively strutting “secretary of war”, insist that the country is fuelling America’s opioid epidemic." Me on Trump's wag the dog script. www.ft.com/content/5b3e...

Why is the President of the United States trying to communicate with the Attorney General about government business via direct messages on the social media site he owns?

And is a direct message on a privately owned social media site kind of like a private email server?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

This Reuters headline. Oof.

Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE.

I met my wife!

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

It's time for the spookiest time of the year: open enrollment!

Trump shares this on truth social: Donald J. Trump & 0 @realDonald Trump • 1h Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

When you see reports on this, yes this is a real post

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Also, I have trained a Clefable who is basically One-Punch Man.

If there's anything that Pokemon Red taught me, it's that ghosts fucking hate getting headbutted by Arbok after leaping out of a fresh hole he dug into.

wizard frog is insane

I was stunned to see the Rotten Tomatoes rating and then your rave review, but your reviews carry a lot of weight for me, so you have me very intrigued!

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago (RNS) — Despite potential danger, religious leaders and faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area ICE protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who w...

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...
