Lovely to gab with the guys at @popculturesquad.bsky.social, as always. Lots of deep diving on the nerdy stuff we love and on the making of THE OCTOBER GIRL series.

I freaking love this book!

Bob Harrison @bobharrison.bsky.social · 1d

Very Sad. 😪

Chris Condon @christophcondon.bsky.social · 1d

RIP Drew Struzan whose uncanny ability to filter movie magic into instantly iconic one-sheets made him as much a part of the filmmaking process as any actor, writer, technician, producer, or director. What a legend.

Drew Struzan, iconic poster artist of Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Star Wars, among others, has died at age 78.

We're live, folks! @matthtaylor.com and I have a blood-curdling body-horror story in this talent-packed anthology, about TRANS WITCHES hunting a MONSTER. Of course, that mission goes horribly, horribly wrong.

Panels from "The Three Pillars" story in THE WITCHING HOUR anthology, by Jadzia Axelrod, Matt Aych Taylor and Jodie Troutman, where a witch turns into a monster to the horror of their apprentice.

I'll be hanging out with my buddy @bobharrison.bsky.social tonight to talk about THE OCTOBER GIRL, DC's MISFITS OF MAGIC, and anything else we feel like talking about tonight on PopCultureSquad LIVE.

I'm sure JON SABLE, FREELANCE will probably come up. It usually does.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 3d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

New reporting: many apparently fired at CDC in 'error'. This is a failure by design given that the admin does not care about fulfilling agency missions. This is the kind of error that should have political consequences.

Unserious people cause real-world harm.

The Guy in the Chair #1 by @hannahrosemay.bsky.social & a great cast from @darkhorse.com is a great start to this series. Fantastic balance, excellent dialog, and an intriguing premise have me hooked.
