There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

Shouting out @henrybarajas.bsky.social for his write-up and BS'ing with @iamdavidbrothers.com about Sekiro bosses feels like how Twitter felt when I was starting my comics journey. I've honestly missed that energy a lot.

SO COOL that Vox Media had two rounds of layoffs in the past three months and keeps cutting our budgets and yet somehow there's $20 million for one person

Tweet from Rob Bluey:
You might not agree with
@karaswisher
’s politics, but you can’t argue with her success.

Q: “What did Kara Swisher, Inc. bring in in 2024?

A: “Millions of dollars. For me, millions of dollars, many, many millions of dollars.”

This year she’s expecting a $20 million payout from Vox.

ELIZA'S WORLD is a Queer breakup novel wrapped in a modern fantasy about having your suspicions that the world is more bizarre than it appears violently & hilariously confirmed. Combines my love of Nancy Meyers & David Lynch with the tone of popular Queer fantasy like Gideon the Ninth. #2025pit
