I am not even a sports person and I feel for NY Giants fans right now.

So true.

Re-reads, with a couple of decades between them, are as interesting as new reads.
We can measure ourselves, the way we have changed, or what we most value, through experiencing a book again.

I protested for free at the #NoKings rally I went to yesterday, and at no point did I feel like rioting. Since we are on the topic of money who backs old Ted Cruz? I'm guessing his going rate is pretty cheap.

George Soros… the one billionaire they hate that somehow never gets the Government he wants, and somehow can afford to pay millions of people to protest.

Why does the oligarchy love Trump?

Yes, the tax cuts — but that’s not all.

Watch.

Went to the Albany, CA #NoKings #protest this evening with @lynngardiner.bsky.social, and it was a great experience with all of the fellow peaceful protesters.

Here bc we love America but hate what’s happening right now to our country. #nokings gathering was awesome - overflowed to other sites. Filled with people who just want us to be better than this.

I was hesitant to blanket block government accounts with this list, and then I saw the kind of crap these accounts are skeeting.

Block freely. This list is not a place of honor.

I enjoyed this today. @edbrisson.bsky.social does a great job of expanding the #Predator lore. I'm looking forward to seeing #PredatorBadlands.

Another comic to add to my pull list over @comicsconspiracy.bsky.social when the solicitation drops! If you haven't read any of @therightram.bsky.social work you really need to change that. Mike Perkins art is just the icing and cherry on top and stiff drink to go with it. #comicsky #comicbooksky

Ram V @therightram.bsky.social · 11d

Just announced at NYCC, my new book with the incredible Mike Perkins at DC Vertigo. Black Tower!

Spies, Spells, London, Magic and Espionage!

Brock Sager @brocksager.bsky.social · 11d

This looks fun. I will be checking it out when it drops. @tomtaylormade.bsky.social story with @darickr.bsky.social art is going to be so much gore and heart and zombie horror. Are you excited?

I will be adding some titles to my pull list in the future: King, V, Condon, Tynion to name a few. Looks like a solid lineup of books to bring back Vertigo an imprint that should never have gone away. #comicsky #comicbooksky

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."
