What's especially fun about yesterday discovering my shoutout in Life After Cars, is that this evening I'm delivering a talk to @wesmars.bsky.social's class at CU Denver on my exploits in tactical urbanism, for I believe the 7th year in a row.
I had to add a slide for the first time in a few years

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Spooky season painting No. 3: Phantom of the Paradise

Japan’s First Female Prime Minster: Gays Are “Fine” But No Same-Sex Marriage “There should be no prejudice against sexual orientation or gender identity,” Sanae Takaichi once said.

Turns out, Japan's first female PM is an anti-gay Margaret Thatcher lover who Donald Trump praises and who wants to return the country to traditional gender roles.

Cliff Secord is leaning against a brick wall reading the newspaper while children play around the corner pretending to be the Rocketeer in front of a mural of the Rocketeer.

One of my favorite pieces of Rocketeer comic art is this pin-up by Michael Kaluta that was used by Dave Stevens, Danny Bilson & Paul DeMeo when pitching the script for THE ROCKETEER (1991). It perfectly frames Cliff Secord as just a regular guy who discovers a rocket pack & adventure in the process.

I briefly lived in Ponca as a kid, and this warms my heart

“It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is. [Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and convicted of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]”

I'm watching Gilligan's Island from first season in B&W and just started the 2nd season in color and it's jarring.

Maybe because I grew up watching them on Nick at Nite, which they pulled mostly from the first season?

I would expect nothing less from Kristin Noem thugs

“They are highly organized … [they] have purchased their own animal costumes”

Pyscho II is one of those great surprises for a sequel made 20+ years later without the original crew (save two core cast members).

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?”

Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”

I don't think people really get how important it is to fascists that they own arts and entertainment. So many are failed artists/writers. Punishing real artists/writers and then substituting their own uncanny automatons is literally their dream. And that's exactly what generative AI does.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Lincoln Square is my former neighborhood. Fuck these Fascists.

I found these Turf Club Vans (in my size!) for $9 today so I hope my luck is turning around
