Yale College Council president Alex Chen and Yale Student Body President Michelle Jimenez at the Democratize Yale rally. Lot of respect for these and the other student leaders. Putting themselves on the line, pushing back against the inexcusable actions of the admins. Be like them when you grow up.

People don’t realize how serious the situation is.

Provided we're all still here in a decade, I think you're probably right about that!

A judge who's "loyal" to the president that picked them isn't a judge at all; just a fucking stooge—and that's exactly what these people are 90% of the time. Trump's just pissed it isn't 100%.

Can't make it to my Office Hours? Cursed to live somewhere that is not Portland, Oregon? Here's some advice that might apply to your comics.

When some comics became intangible online, paper became *visible* to artists again, leading to beautiful new paper comics. Now, when some "art" becomes inhuman, *we* become visible to ourselves again. What beautiful new *human* art might be the result?

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Indeed. Every time I encounter a Nevelson in the wild, I have to take a selfie! And yes, it’s about time I visited a Busiek or two!

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

in my talk today, as an example of the strange things you can do in comics given their sequential but also spatial/simultaneous nature, I included this gonzo panel from 1950s Batman, which I just love in all its weirdness! Yes, I have more intentionally clever examples, but something about this...

part of a page from a batman comic. In one panel, batman leaps from off panel onto a diving board, the motion lines of his rebound travel across to another panel, where we see him finish his leap and crash into the crooks to save the day

Another fun bit of local #pareidolia. “I will survive!”

Since it's the anniversary of the debut of "Batman the Animated Series," feeling compelled to share this art by Bruce Timm of all the things they weren't allowed to show in the cartoon. Can you guess them all? Answers in the next skeet down.

Yup! Any word or phrase that does what others can't is useful. "Y'all" is useful. So is "No worries." Language is not a fortress, Y'all.
