James, you are the creative genius, not me, but it sure would leave people speechless if The Weasel wound up saving Chris somewhere down the road. Justice for Weasel!

If he can't find peace here, maybe he'll find it somewhere else.

The story of Superman and the DCU continues with #Peacemaker Season 2 on August 21. Rewatch Season 1 and listen to the Official Peacemaker Podcast now on YouTube.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Happy birthday to the late, great Pharoah Sanders, arguably the best artist to use to get jazz-averse people into the genre. I didn’t realize the 1975 Paris tape that came out a few years ago had recently been supplemented with a complete recording elementalmusicrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pharoa...

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

The next time someone says people are all the same I’m showing them the Pee-Wee Herman documentary and the Charlie Sheen documentary back-to-back.

Give Trump an inch and he will take a Constitution. Trump is moving faster than Putin, Orban and Erdogen ever did.

I’ve lived in rural America long enough to know that the entire point was to bankrupt farmers…

We are all about to find out.

🤔 Russian propaganda loves to analyze postures during negotiations. Who's posing like leader here?

Mike Johnson on the National Guard in American cities sounds like Donald Rumsfeld - "They will be greeted as liberators".

A bit of personal news for y’all.

Today is my last day as a member of the Bluesky team!

The past 2+ years building out Bluesky’s Infrastructure and Platform team and scaling the network from 100,000 -> 40,000,000 users have been the most intense and rewarding years of my life.

Conservatives "small enough to drown in a bathtub" government can't make sure your plane lands safely or food won't poison you. t was all a lie, and it was all damn stupid. An Anti-Keynesian science of reverse austerity and lavish spending on exactly the wrong things at precisely the wrong time.

This would be yet another instance of ICE operating essentially as a private gestapo, finding time to tear-gas innocent people (and local officers), using extreme force, and making prank calls to police departments that already have their hands full.

The thing that bothers me so much is not the “we have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do.

It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate.
