Today was meant to be Sal Buscema's 90th birthday, however it seems he passed on Friday 1/23/2026. RIP to an all-timer Hulk, Spider-Man and All Around Artist.

But a billionaire bought them! He must be so smart and such a good manager!

Folks, money past a certain point just makes you stupid. No escaping it.

If we are saved from this clumsy attempt to create Hungary and Soviet state television, it won't be thanks to Congressional media reformers (who pretty much don't fucking exist), it will be thanks to the incompetence of this weird assortment of nepobabies and brunchlords

again, Weiss' problem isn't that she's bad at journalism (which is true), it's that she's bad at ratings-grabbing agitprop, the entire reason she was hired.

her successor will be worse.

The organizing principles of MAGA (why isnโ€™t this cartoon character sexy, I want to sexually abuse children, antiblackness) are part of what make them so bad at media; their inability to succeed in the media marketplace is a core animating insecurity. They canโ€™t stop stepping on this banana peel.

recently learned about โ€œdek bassโ€, a sound system culture in rural West Bengal, using cassette decks and homemade systems, and itโ€™s remarkable because 1) the music and equipment are sick and 2) the DJ always looks like heโ€™s being briefed on a national security issue

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST WINTER STORM, REMEMBER FOUR TIPS:
1. FILL UP YOUR TUB AND/OR POTS WITH WATER FOR YOUR TOILET.
2. DO NOT USE PROPANE HEATERS INDOORS. THE FUMES KILL.
3. EVERYONE STAYING IN ONE ROOM CONSOLIDATES WARMTH.
4. THE NORWEGIAN CAMP DIDN'T DESTROY ITSELF. ONE OF YOU IS THE THING.

Bondi's trial balloon that they'll leave if Minnesota gives up their voter rolls is a classic Trump bargaining play - ask for some unrelated ask when trying to get out of a deal you want to get out of anyway so you look strong

One thing you can't stop noticing if you look for it is cope coming from all corners of the conservative movement to try to find ways to extricate themselves from a plainly disastrous situation in Minnesota.

Multiple demonstrations are being organized in Chicago this weekend in response to federal agents killing a man in Minneapolis this morning.

I'm seeing announcements of a protest at 3 pm today in Little Village.

Another today at 3 pm in Logan Square

Yet another downtown at 1 pm tomorrow

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates.

Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didnโ€™t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction.

So weโ€™re doing it ourselves:
