I think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...
Is this how you want to go out, with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it’s gone?

Maybe that’s O.K. I think you have more of a problem with that than I do. [Laughs.] At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended.

You’re right, that does sound grim.

Sorry. Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.

I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.

No one responds worse to being called out on transphobia than cis queers. I don't even think it's that they think they can't do it, I think it's that they assume they get a pass. Or that their queerness gives them special insight that allows them to see The Problem With Trans People.

All they need is something to say. Literally. Right-wingers don't have arguments or points; they have point-shaped or argument-shaped agglomerations of sounds for their mouths to make. That's enough.

Following my recent ankle injury, I will not be leaving my third-floor walk-up for a bit. Yesterday, a bestie stopped by with some chocolate and this card.
Kelly's hand holds a greeting card featuring four startled-looking chickens. Large distressed red text at the top reads, “WHAT THE CLUCK!?”Inside of the card. Printed text reading “YOU’RE A YEAR OLDER!” is crossed out and replaced by handwritten text: “messed up your ankle?” Below, the printed message says, “YOU STILL LOOK LIKE A SPRING CHICKEN.” At the bottom, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” is crossed out and replaced with the handwritten message, “I love you!”

Journeyman directors are far and away the most unfairly hated types of filmmakers out there. To me talent will always matter more than style. Journeyman filmmakers are an essential part of the cinematic ecosystem. Not everyone can be Scorsese, Spielberg, or Tarantino, someone has to be Ron Howard.

Comic art that only references other comic art is inbred. Study impressionism, silent films, folk art, photography, wood carvings, animals at the zoo, *something* outside of comics if you want your art to have a personality.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

A majority of Americans either voted for this enthusiastically or didn’t bother to stop it.
A crowd at a Trump rally In 2024 hold up placards reading “MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW!” and “MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN!”Katie Rogers tweets:

“Would you like to request voluntary departure or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked.

“I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

Quoting a previous tweet from Priscilla Alvarez:

“NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a nine-year-old rested her head on the table, a six-year-old pretended to fly an airplane, and a three year-old played with the mic. Many in attendance didn’t have an attorney — and a 13-year-old was ordered removed. A look inside through sketches…”An elderly white woman with a big smile holds up a placard reading “MASS DEPORTATION NOW!”

This remains the entire point of the Cass Review; enough scientific looking nonsense thrown together in bad faith that gives terfs enough cover and simultaneously traps trans people and allies in a discussion about methodology and process.

Lost in the discourse about where Dems are is the fact Republicans know the anti-trans ads aren't helping them but, as Terry here openly admits, hurting trans people is all they have left. They'd use their dying breath to ruin one more trans kid's life.

I will not get the readership, attention or plaudits my time, efforts & discomfort deserves. Because the Patriarchy is deep in comics too. I see this happening to creators of non-cis-male persuasion all the time & rage internally at the injustice as another dude writes another sexualising fem story.
The woman, crouched, peeks around the man’s back. Her eyes wide, mouth smeared with black tincture. She’s not a woman at all. Through crow kaws she speaks “Morrigan”

This includes forcing us into stealth, pushing the Egg Prime Directive, ans suppression of any story besides "I had violent dysphoria since I was like 3" The reason there's a cohort of "late transitioners" is because for many of us, we Did. Not. Know. And that includes me, who had trans friends!

It cut funding to IRS because the assumption that the way to catch tax fraud is to hire tens of thousands of auditors to look through paper tax returns by hand is insane

I turned away from the church precisely because I could not square the idea that the people who were my friends, who grew up differently than me, were condemned to eternal suffering--- just because they were different. And to gleefully condemn others to hell seemed more demonic than Christ-like.
