Who doesn't love a queer fantasy action comic? How about one about trauma, exile, and return? How about one with non-linear timelines? With issue 4, Artema tries to start a new life, but her past (and future) keep catching up with her... www.kickstarter.com/projects/art...

Just watched a guy drive his lawnmower into the liquor store parking lot. Shades of George Jones?

On this day in 1980, R.E.M. played Tyrone’s in Athens. The concert was preserved on the bootleg "Bodycount at Tyrone’s", the first known bootleg of an R.E.M. show. ‘(Don’t Go Back to) Rockville’, ‘Gardening at Night’ and ‘White Tornado’ were performed live for the first known time.

I like string band takes on Black Sabbath or Metallica tunes, but I don't like Pink Floyd enough to like them in other genres, either.

When my kid was in middle school, they had a pumpkin chunkin' contest in science class. We are That Family who builds random objects for fun. Kiddo was like, "Well, here's my A." Goal was 50 yards. His trebuchet hurled the pumpkin past the end zone and into the parking lot. /1

R.I.P., Pete Byrne of Naked Eyes. We had an extremely nice chat for Bullz-Eye when he was part of the Regeneration Tour with ABC, Belinda Carlisle, and the Human League, and Jenn and I met him backstage. Loved the music he made, very sorry to see him go. web.archive.org/web/20120313...

While ICE agents were shooting Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin on Sunday, their colleagues were violently detaining a US citizen in Evanston, IL who "resembled" a person they were seeking. The victim reported "injuries to his head, neck and teeth":

RIP, Peter Max, the only graphic artist I can think of whose brand was so omnipresent that he managed to get his own cereal. Reid Miles never got a cereal. Hipgnosis never got a cereal. Roy Kuhlman never got a cereal. Only Peter Max. His work graced everything from earrings to phone books.

We’ve lost yet another iconic artist, counterculture legend Peter Max. His style influenced and resonated throughout the era of psychedelia, even extending to The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine film. His album cover for Alice Coltrane was one of my favorites. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/a...

Adult son cracks me up. He's a great cook, so when he showed up w/ a cooler full of food he made, I was not surprised. He handed me a 2 gallon ziploc bag full of what I thought was jambalaya, and said, "Here, Momma! Have some Boy Kibble!" Me: 🤔 Him: Shrimp, rice, peppers, sausage... Boy Kibble!
