Jesse Lonergan’s Drome, from 23rd St Books.

Jesse Lonergan’s Drome is great. Plus, look at that lettering.

Today is a good day to spend some time thinking about what you want America to mean, and steps—however small—you can take to cultivate its growth in that direction

JAWS really is the quintessential* 4th of July movie that shows you America. Everyone is stressed out about money and jobs while a giant shark keeps picking us off and it's going to take three people from very different backgrounds in a boat to end this

*Quint-Essential, nice

Final Destination, but it’s just me having the first line of the Bee Gees’ “New York Mining Disaster 1941” in my head on a loop as I wait in line to board a plane. (“In the event of something happening to me…”)

As someone who read Green Lantern: Mosaic at an impressionable age (I know..!), this sounds like my dream project to read.

Brian Wilson just days after Sly Stone hits hard. Holy crap.

FREE Ebooks: Abolish the Border, Abolish the Police In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and police repression, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about border and poli...

Another world is possible if we fight for it.

Sly Stone, Influential Maestro of Multifaceted Band, Dies at 82.

Rest in Peace to a great one. (And if you have Hulu, go watch Sly Lives.)

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.

And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.

This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Good.

YouTube video by Talking Heads Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (Official Video)

The surprise new video from Mike Mills and Saoirse Ronan for Talking Heads' Psycho Killer is pretty neat. (As was finding it on the Criterion Channel last night by accident.)

Alt answer: Quasi opening for Elliott Smith in 2000.

PJ Harvey opening for U2 way back in the early 90s. (An Achtung Baby tour? I think so?) Her amp blew up three times during Sheela-Na-Gig. I’m old.

I have had the Bee Gees' fake Beatles song "Have You Heard The Word?" in my head for three days straight now, and it is beginning to feel worrying.

This was a book that I loved, back in the day; David's Star Trek novels (and comics!) were similarly big with me as a teenager, and I loved his Incredible Hulk and that first X-Factor run a lot, a lot, a lot. (His 'But I Digress' columns in CBR were a massive influence on my brain, too.) RIP.

Steve Lieber is, once again, the best of us.

The Power Fantasy A primer to the everything you need to know (and significantly more) about The Power Fantasy, the high ongoing comic from Kieron Gillen, Caspar Wijngaard, Clayton Cowles and Rian Hughes.

If you liked the Andor, you should try The Power Fantasy. It's nothing like it, but you have to read something.

2000 AD graphic novels to read if you're enjoying #Andor! Check out these collections of space westerns, desperate rebellions, morally-nuanced characters and stunning artwork... 🧵

My first thought when seeing the artwork in this book really was, "Damn, European cartoonists still have that line work that looks like classic mid-century US comic book artists."

Should have threaded this earlier, but another great way to directly support me and ALL of the 20+ Polygon employees laid off in the Valnet acquisition (layoffs that just happened to include all of the site's union staff) is to donate to our WGAE-organized fund: www.gofundme.com/f/support-po...

it’s good we have a specific day to celebrate Star Wars, which would otherwise be the least celebrated film franchise

EM4 This meeting condemns the Supreme Court ruling defining the term 'woman' with respect to the Equality Act as being based on 'biological sex', which they refer to as a person who 'was at birth of the female sex', as reductive, trans and intersex-exclusionary and biologically nonsensical. We recognize as doctors that sex and gender are complex and multifaceted aspects of the human condition and attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine while being actively harmful to transgender and gender diverse people. As such this meeting: i. Reiterates the BMA's position on affirming the rights of transgender and non-binary individuals to live their lives with dignity, having their identity respected. ii. Reminds the Supreme Court of the existence of intersex people and reaffirms their right to exist in the gender identity that matches their sense of self, regardless of whether this matches any identity assigned to them at birth. Condemns scientifically illiterate rulings from the Supreme Court, made without consulting relevant experts and stakeholders, that will cause real-world harm to the trans, non-binary and intersex communities in this country. iv. Commits to strive for better access to necessary health services for trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people.

Like 2000AD? Like music?

AI is killing our shared media experience, replacing the humans that make it and now it's ripe for takeover from the right. newrepublic.com/article/1935...

The official White House social media accounts use internet slang pilfered from Black and queer communities to issue propaganda that promotes violence against Black and queer communities

Guardian news story reading, "A senior White House official has told ABC News that the additional 50% tariff that Donald Trump threatened to impose on China earlier would be in addition to the 34% “reciprocal” tariff Trump announced last week set to go into effect on Wednesday and the 20% that is already in place, making for a potential total of a 104% tariff."

Trade war's going well, I see. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

That they never did a mini called Deadman and Wife is beyond me.
