We got ourselves an early Christmas present—two prints by local artist Lynn Carlin. These had me at the skyscapes but the water surfaces are also magical.

stance. It’s true Sheeran handled the situation poorly by not standing up for the free expression rights of a friend and fellow artist whose stance on Palestine has been well known for three years and calling Kraft’s bluff, but Kraft put Sheeran in an untenable position in the first place.

Just for perspective: the real villain in this story is Patriots owner and Epstein files bit player Robert Kraft, who threatened Sheeran with the cancellation of not only the gig in his stadium but in other stadiums run by his NFL owner friends if Macklemore wasn’t dropped over his “Free Palestine”

I just used 5calls.org to urge my Congressional rep and senators to support the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act to pause advanced AI development until federal safety regulations are in place, and demand oversight that addresses data centers' land, water, and energy footprint.

I just called my senators with @5calls.org and told them to cosponsor the JAWBONE Act [S. 4749], and push the Commerce Committee to vote on it. When the FCC threatens a TV station’s license over who it books as a guest, Americans should be able to take that to court. 5calls.org

Grateful for the hard work of editor Alison Ross. The landing page for the issue, where you can open it up in Anyflip, download a PDF, or (eventually) order a hard copy, is at: clockwisecat.com/2026/09/issu... (My piece is on page 44).

My prose poem "The Wondrous Story-Tellers", an imaginary translation of some German text I found at random one fine day on the internet, is included in the new issue of Clockwise Cat, alongside some of my favorite writers like John Olson, Heller Levinson and Giorgia Pavlidou.

A lot of people lose hope and give up when they think they’re 10 points behind. Act like it’s tied and every person’s actions could make the difference.

So are we still allowed to celebrate Labor Day, or is that too “socialist” and “woke” for trxmp cultists?

001

Steve Carll @stevecarll.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Sure. And the only way to fix that ceiling is to put Trxmp's name back on the front, close the place for two years, do a bunch of tacky "upgrades" and try to find some performers desperate enough to be associated with this cabal of evil clowns, I suppose?

This week's comic on the folly of triangulating with oligarchs

The trouble with oligarchy-curious Dems

Actual Democrats aren’t inspired to vote for them

Politician on TV: I’m so open-minded, I voted for all of Trump’s nominees, and I love data centers!

Woman in chair: I’m staying home.

Republicans won’t vote for them

Voter at ballot box: A demon-CRAT?

No way!

Low-info swing voters aren’t concerned with performative “centrism”

Guy walking out of convenience store with case of Brapp Lite: I just like the guy who yells.

Triangulation: It finds the sweet spot!

Consultant: We’ve zeroed in on one voter named Gus.

It's a case of cult and cult leader in an epistemic death-spiral, except this cult leader has captured control of a nation (ours) with immense destructive power.

The allegation isn't that the president is having an affair with a staffer, it's that this staffer's job is to keep him enclosed in a narcissistic bubble of unreality where news of his historic unpopularity and the catastrophic fallout from and widespread criticism of his policies can't penetrate.

Of course his relationship with Natalie Harp isn't sexual. She's way too old for him.

Yeah, I’m a rebel. I drink Earl Grey in the morning instead of the afternoon. I’m a dangerous man.
