Banned Books Week. The American Library Association tracks which books people are trying to ban from public libraries & schools, started in 1982, always expanding. One of the most frequently challenged books in the U.S. is a picture book about two penguins: And Tango Makes Three. #readbannedbooks

This guy, who handed Trump the biggest podcast interview of the 2024 campaign, just called the fans rabid and fucking nuts out loud and on the record. We've been logging this arc... All those quotes, shifts, and WTF moments... The Misfit Caucus™

The trigger? MAGA fans went after Jelly Roll for criticizing Trump on Jimmy Kimmel. Rogan was watching that when he said, "Trump supporters are fucking nuts, man, they're rabid. He represents something other than just a person to them. He represents something, a leader they wish they had."

The man who gave Trump nearly three hours of spotlight on a major podcast platform back in October 2024, which got over 38 million views, just called the President's base fucking nuts in his same podcast series just this week in the Ron White episode. Rogan's other word for MAGA: "rabid."
Dark near-black background. Monospace header bar across the top reads: PODCAST · TRANSCRIPT — JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE — RON WHITE, with SEPTEMBER 16, 2026 right-aligned. Center of the card: three Joe Rogan quotes layered in a stacked typographic composition. "HE REPRESENTS" appears in large white display type. Beneath it, "something other than" in smaller teal italic, then "JUST A PERSON" large and white, then "to them." in teal — the full quote: "They're something other than just a person to them." Overlapping that arrangement: "THEY'RE" in massive headline type and "RABID." in oversized teal — from the quote "They're rabid." Below those, "f*cking nuts." in quotation marks, smaller.

Happy Letterer Appreciation Day! Letterers are actually miracle workers who make it all readable for us to enjoy. The Lettering Book, by Noelene Morris, one of Cruzitai's oldest and most beloved books, from 1987. #nostalgiamaxxing (First Scholastic Printing, Scholastic Pty. Ltd., Australia)
A photograph of the cover of "The Lettering Book" written by Noelene Morris. The image is of an artist hand holding a paintbrush, painting in the capital letter "K" in "Book" in a stencil font. The image also has four small open jars of paint, in blue, yellow, green and red, along with a wooden ruler and two clean paintbrushes ready to be used.  The book's spine is spiral-bound and the edges of the book are very worn from use since 1987. The dedication page to "The Lettering Book". The dedication reads: "I dedicate this book to my husband Zora"

Schools, Police Already Use the Shock Gloves ICE Is Buying
Police departments, schools and other state and local government agencies already use the freshly controversial form of less-lethal compliance. But sales could increase even amid national pushback.

ICE is spending up to $20 million on electric-shock gloves and the contract is no-bid. The device is called the G.L.O.V.E. - Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. It looks like a standard patrol glove until an officer presses a button. Schools and Police are already using this tech.

I finished my spec product: 66 pages of graphic novel which is completely unrelated to the topic of my primary production in progress. Not wasted energy, purely devoted to pursuing (fluidly lucid) dreams. Keep on creating!! 2/2

It takes a level of stubbornness & belief to finish anything when no one asks us to make it, and knowing that our work (of dreams) survived a bunch of moments where it really could have stopped makes it so worth it. Last month, first time ever... 1/2

You're a rare find with a generous offer. Most letterers aren't positioned to take that kind of upfront risk on spec work... Breaking industry norms! *high five* All the best!

Ever notice that every time the Pentagon tries to restrict journalist access, reporters switch sources and the number of people willing to brief off the record tends to go up? Perhaps their internalized frustration motivates leaks... We're here for it!

Kharg Island handles most of Iran's oil exports. His post circulated on TS for hours before mainstream outlets confirmed it was AI-generated content & not documentation of an actual attack. The same admin is managing an active military conflict with Iran while the President posts AI war videos.

THE MISFIT CAUCUS @misfitcaucus.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
The President posted an AI-generated video on 8/31/26 and it showed Iran's Kharg Island being destroyed in a fireball. It was not labeled as AI-generated. The video didn't reflect an actual strike. Iran called it "laughable" while US officials confirmed the military hadn't targeted Kharg Island.

Conservative influencers were given secret Pentagon jobs to promote his agenda. White House sources describe Hegseth as "the administration's first major midterm casualty." Per reporting, Trump has told him he'll be out before Thanksgiving.

The Secretary of War's classified orders book shows four combatant commanders formally objecting to his Iran "war" extension - and then executed the orders anyway. Four "non-concurs" in one order. Same week: Army Secretary Driscoll resigned after a turf war with Hegseth over personnel decisions.
