Very sad to hear of the passing of MARJANE SATRAPI. A lot of the 'graphic novels' produced since the format became popular, really are collections, not 'novels' at all. Persepolis was something special. A novel that lived in my mind long, long after I read it. A very sad loss.

The Case for Xavier Becerra

Given how rapidly the CA governor’s race has changed in just 24 hours, it’s time for CA voters to take a close look at Xavier Becerra.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

What a great launch for a series! It seems like @benjaminpercy.bsky.social has an interesting take on the character, and a solid hook for the first arc. Definitely looking forward to more!

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Loved seeing how he twisted a ton of GL concepts to make them new, and the way he’s brought in characters from other franchises to shift the interactions. Shoutout to @jahnoyl.bsky.social art

The phrase “ parents have a legitimate concern about integration of races in schools and as a party, we haven’t done a very good job of listening to those concerns.” would shock and offend I would hope. A similar statement about trans kids should also shock and offend.

I’m several months late to the game because I intentionally waited for the collection, but @kellythompson.bsky.social @cleanlined.bsky.social Mattia De Iulis Jordie Bellaire and @conroyforreal.bsky.social knocked it out of the park on this one. What a killer opening sequence!

This part! Literally judge a book by its cover, pick one you like, and read it. Not sure about the backstory? Ask your local comic shop employee; post on BlueSky or instagram or your preferred platform; make a friend at your local store. Just don’t go to YouTube for help; it’s risky.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”

Been a minute since posting a progress pic. Visited my trainer at his gym this week and got to take advantage of some excellent selfie lighting.

Shirtless homo finds the lighting and gets the trainer to take his next thirst trap. Move on without liking this, you’re better than that 🤣

Homo keeps his shirt on, but learns a new bodybuilding pose. Please tell him his shoulders look good, if you’re not above such things.

The way this movie surpassed all my expectations and made me feel something strongly enough to forget about the underlying dread that’s permeating everything right now…it’s an inspiring movie about what really makes us great instead of all the sludge we’re being told is great. Will see it again!

The cut has been challenging in a lot of ways. I’d hoped to be done before my biggest project of the year, but the ocean together. Today was my first day back after three weeks off. Don’t think I lost too much muscle, but it’ll be nice to fill out a shirt again when the building resumes.

June 16th, still on the cut. Man stands for progress picture. He is 6’4” and weighs 188lbs.

They just think Nazis are better than pornographers. This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
