Hegseth has presided over such staggering amounts of pointless death like an incarnate Dantean punishment, and I believe he may be a strong candidate for the most evil Cabinet member--in tight competition with the likes of Rubio and RFK Jr, but I think he wins.

Tony Robbins has a new book coming out in two months, about “how ordinary people are using AI to build extraordinary lives.” 🙄

Yep. Andrews threw in every insinuation about Graham’s sexuality she could into an ad attacking his support for the military action against Iran.

People and nations have fallen under the sway of false gods, as the Israelites did with the golden calf, over and over again. But today, instead of anthropomorphic deities, people worship power more directly, in the form of money or authority over other people’s lives. quaker.org/2026/10/05/b...

A print depicting the Israelites gathered around a small statue of a bull they have place upon a pedestal, before which they pray and kneel. Off in the distance, Moses approaches the crowd, and he is NOT pleased.

I’m going to take the astronomical odds on Alan Moore coming back to Marvel to write the new Miracleman. If it happens, I’ll be able to swim in my winnings like Scrooge McDuck.

The clumsy bribes (and the stop-putting-this-stuff-in-writing messages) are the obvious attraction, but don’t sleep on how this guy who paid Guilfoyle to fix his IRS troubles *also* hired a musician to co-write a modern-day folk song ABOUT HIMSELF which he attempted to get Kid Rock to record.

The reason early Philip Glass may remind listeners of early Sesame Street is that the two are connected.

“[Einstein on the Beach’s] sonic texture, shot through with the cheerful candor of those brightly blazing ‘70s synthesizers, is somehow inseparable, in my mind, from early episodes of Sesame Street.” I wonder how many people have told Matthew Aucoin about Philip Glass’s Sesame Street work so far!

In both Philip Glass’s most avant-garde and his most commercially successful works, his music seems to accompany some unheard melody while inducing a state of blissful distraction.

And let’s face it, though this is much, much lower on the scale of Harry Potter crappiness, being into Potter merch in the year of our lord 2026 is like being into, I dunno, Bobbsey Twins merch back when the Potter saga was first being published.

I could deal with Scooby talking, if it had just been him. People are all like “but then Scrappy came and ruined everything,” and I say, no, it all went downhill with the introduction of Scooby Dum and Scooby Dee.

Trump would believe the soldiers were suckers and losers for getting themselves stationed at such a prominent target.

I don’t think Trump is saying it would be GOOD if Los Angeles or San Diego got nuked, just that he wouldn’t consider it much of a setback.

When I was first stumbling upon indie comics in the 1980s, Matt Howarth was pretty much the benchmark for… one way to put it might be that he was for comics (as a storytelling medium) what Troma was for film. Or GWAR was for music. AND he did the illustrations for The Dune Encyclopedia!
