My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

I don't think Lonsdale and I have the same understanding of masculinity
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

I am Tired from my hair to my bones.

And what's standing out from day 1 of MICE isn't just amazing comics, but how many people I've caught up with that share the same slumped energy.

My little artists/writers at the Massachusetts Indy Comics Expo, or MICE, selling their wares at the Youth Artist Table! I love them both so much.

And they're not that little. They are teenagers who are taller than me, but really, they will always be little to me!

So happy with how BRAINS turned out. I have a bunch of ideas for a much longer graphic novel length version of this, too, can’t wait to get started on that soon.

You can get a copy TOMORROW @massmice.bsky.social, I’ll be at table 52A!
