Those lovable scamps Charles & Arok are the only members of the Weird Luck webcomic's main cast whom I would describe as emotionally well. Smiley is happy & Max is calm, but in their cases these shouldn't be mistaken for signs of emotional health. weirdluck.net #webcomics #oc #ocsky #secretagents

Nick and @andrewmreichart.bsky.social got me into Matt Howarth’s comics in college. I wrote to Matt a couple of times, once for a Post Bros. reader letter and another to order some older comics from him. He was friendly and kind and threw in something extra. Weird Luck is very much in Matt’s spirit.

RIP indie comics legend Matt Howarth (1954–2026), an inspiration since my mid-teens and by far the most formative influence on the writing of the Weird Luck webcomic. #comics #indiecomics #matthowarth #comicart #bugtown #heroes #inspiration #comicsky #fantasy #scifi #creators

The oft-cited claim that October 7, 2023 was the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust ignores the fact more Jews died in the Argentine military junta's Dirty War, due in part to the link between Jews and leftism. But accepting that would lead to a very different narrative of Jewish history.

Obviously this is a complete impossibility for me, so I’ll opt instead for the first song I ever heard live that I knew from the album. Here it is, just as I heard it in 1982 — same stage setup and everything. (And yeah, they were opening for Judas Priest.) youtu.be/iCSd0slqzcQ?...

FYI: The Helen Faith Keane Show (1951) “[dissatisfied] with a male commentator from a fashion show…. She telephoned the company & was told that if she felt she could do a better job, she should come down to the station and try it herself. She agreed. Over lunch, the producer… offered her a show.”

I’ve pondered various permutations of this sorta thing & always been pretty proud of my lifelong dedication to principle and whatnot, but it never occurred to me before now that 20 year old me would, frankly, probably think my 4 books are the best genre fiction ever written.

But more to the point it obscures what is, in 2026, the key fact about the rationalists, which is that all Yudkowsky's ideas about AI that have filtered out so massively into the American tech industry are complete horseshit and he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I recall, as an antiwar activist, being told a few dozen times by people across America, that New York deserved to be hit again, this time by Iraqi chemical weapons or nukes, because I personally was a pussy faggot in a city of the same.
