The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

In my worst moments there's always a secret voice that says 'I can use this.' It feels a little crazy. It probably is. You're crying, it's not an act, but you think 'I can use this.' Sometimes you get to wondering if you're a whole person.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the Court as currently constituted ruled that President Trump could knock down half the White House and pour your money down a hole. Is that a fair application of the law? Or do we need to reconsider how the Court does business?”

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.

FIRST MAN (2018) does a great job of portraying the danger and terror of this. Panels rattling, alarms beeping, you get the sense it could all go sideways. It was misjudged and poorly promoted at release but it's really a movie about death, and how close Armstrong was to it for most of his life.

I think Marvel should install a Jim Shooter AI as EiC, like a giant screen with him on it standing 9 feet tall and his first move is to relocate the offices to Pittsburgh and reinstate the bullpen

Indeed. We are not forcing upon Graham the memory of him being a villain, a coward, and a malignant presence in the country; that was the legacy he chose again and again. He earned our contempt, as has everyone else on his path.

A former Marvel EiC told me that any time spent inking was time I could have spent learning how to be a better penciller. Makes sense in a vacuum but it was horrible advice in terms of how the industry was already operating by the early 2000's.

An author once told me “before doing a panel, put a twenty in your pocket. If that’s enough to buy a beer for everyone who showed up, go do that instead.” (Adjust for inflation as necessary.)

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

It becomes increasingly difficult to comment on politics when all one side cares about is an idiot who made it to the ticket through very real and specific national conditions, and is willing to defend him to the point of irrationality; and the other side who wishes those conditions didn't exist.

A sizeable group of voters simply want an asshole as President. There is no point in trying to cater to them, you can either ignore them or discourage them from voting. Every effort to get their vote by adopting asshole-ish policies is a waste, they want the real thing.

He's also still using "excursion" because six weeks ago some general told him this would be a "limited military incursion" and he was too dumb to understand it. Now none of his bootlicking staffers are willing to correct him. So we all proceed as if this is normal.

When Rudy Giuliani dies, remember that he won't be able to see the mean things you post about him. But the rapidly decomposing president who sees him as a political partner and who's worried about his own impending death absolutely will.
