Your honor, with all due respect, if my best isn’t good enough then how can it be good enough for two?

Your honor, with all due respect, they’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold, but the wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old.

I loves these responses. I think if anything they also torpedo the whole ‘comics are just for kids’ trope. It’s just pointing to a whole mentality of ‘why cant we just enjoy things for the sake of enjoyment?’ that more people should carry into adulthood

And it wasn't a case of us saying "it's comics and therefor they didn't have to be good"--it was more "it's comics so we can do anything we want to do! We're not confined by reality! We don't have to obey the rules!"

@kurtbusiek.bsky.social can I ask you a question? How did publishers keep track of lore back in the day? Was everyone generally like yourself with encyclopedic retention or was there some kind of database/filing system/what have you? And was every potential storyline always vetted against that info?

RIP the Gaza aid pier. It didn't last long, it didn't accomplish anything, and it was always just a PR stunt to pull attention away from the government's support of a genocide, but at least it cost more money than the federal government spends on addiction treatment programs

Look u clout chasers u gotta understand how it works I got a dick for a brain And my brain is gonna sell my ass to you See I’m ok But in times I find I’m stuck Cuz she wants love And I still wanna fuck

Look u clout chasers u gotta understand how it works And all you create And all you destroy And all that you slight And everyone you fight And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

JFC, this photo of a pro-Palestinian student protestor at the University of Mississippi with a jeering crowd of white boys in the background thedmonline.com/may-2nd-pro-...

Me standing beside the Edmund Pettus Bridge - If just one bystander so much as brings John Lewis a cup of coffee this whole movement will be invalidated!

This is the inanity at the heart of these protests: College kids who want their meals delivered to the occupied building are ostensibly the same as murdered nuns and lynched Black people. You're not MLK, and this isn't 1965. Time to grow up and let the other kids go to class.

I saw Chris Rufo and AG Sulzberger walkin’ in the rain. They were holding hands and I’ll never be the same.

I heard Chris Rufo made A.G. Sulzberger pick up his dry cleaning, and when he got to Rufo’s place, Rufo made him get down on all fours and “bark like a little doggy” and Sulzberger did as he was ordered. That’s what I heard anyway.

For me, Joe Flaherty will always be Harold Weir telling his daughter Lindsay that she has no idea what it’s actually like to have a hardass for a father in Freaks and Geeks. I think about that scene regularly.

The He Gets Us campaign is run by The Servant Foundation, which has been waging lawfare on gay and trans people through tens of millions in donations to the far-right legal activist group The Alliance Defending Freedom since 2018

I’ve been covering the “He Gets Us” Jesus PR campaign since 2022. I was the first or at least one of the first to expose it as a right-wing evangelical recruitment effort, though RD and I didn’t get credit when bigger outlets picked the story up religiondispatches.org/behind-the-i...

Behind the Inclusive-Sounding Ads of this $100 Million PR-Blitz-for-Jesus it's the Same Old Conservative Christian Fantasyreligiondispatches.org This month, a $100 million advertising campaign and website have been launched nationwide to help a particular figure rebrand.

Literally don’t know if I’m a good enough person to merit the @gailsimone.bsky.social follow I just picked up. Gonna be working on myself for a bit.

My understanding is that those of us who had to wait for Bluesky invites are now obligated to resent everyone who just showed up today. I don’t make the rules.

Kagan refused bagels and lox because it violated ethics rules for justices.

Note: No justices — including Justice Thomas — recused themselves from Trump’s case, per Friday’s order.

If you bought stock in the companies that conservatives tried to boycott this year you enjoyed a 26% return on your investment, roughly double the dow jones industrial average and slightly better than the s&p 500. Go woke, get rich

To cap off a year of “get woke, go broke” nonsense, I did the math on how much someone could have made by investing in companies that conservatives have (unsuccessfully) sought to cancel: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Here’s How Much You Would’ve Made Investing in ‘Woke’ Companies This Yearwww.rollingstone.com 'Woke' companies still aren't growing broke — and investing in them paid off in 2023.

Oh did you like that kiss baby? Burl Ives says that one was from him.

I don’t care what happens for the rest of the season. We can literally lose to Western Idaho Polytech. What’s important is we beat the snot out of USC.

learning that the fighting irish moniker is, in part, due to a large number of students beating the shit out of the KKK for trying to harass catholics back in the 20s was a history highlight for me
