Considering the tumult going on in Portland, and the amphibious shape the protests have taken, it seems like the most prudent course of action is to summon a certain intergalactic Froglord to our cause...

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the
ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear
how he was injured). But when the patient was
loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the
ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the
ambulance driver:

From its very first image, 'Cool Hand Luke' (1967, dir. Stuart Rosenberg) ain't fucking around.

Look, at this point, if you are in favor what ICE is doing, you've made an enemy of both the Pope and Mick Foley. Good fucking luck getting into heaven now.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

The only thing that would "fix" me is if the ghost of JRR Tolkien appeared to me and told me that I am a very good, smart boy and that he respects my interpretations of his work.

So I SUPPOSE I will just have to keep on malfunctioning my way through this spooky season, and enjoy it while I can 🎃

So when Stephen Miller, himself descended from Eastern European Jews who fled their homeland to escape persecution, watches Fiddler on the Roof, does he still root for the psychopaths persecuting the poor migrants? That is, after all, his... chosen TRADITION

I know that in order to defeat authoritarianism in America, we need to build a broad coalition from moderates to the far left, to overcome our policy differences as we face this existential threat to democracy itself.

With that said, flippity FUCK Ezra Klein.

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

Feature - With the release this week of #TronAres , @moviekessler.bsky.social takes a look back at the sequel to the original Tron, 2010’s Tron: Legacy. Receiving a lukewarm reception upon its release, it’s now regarded by many as one of the better ‘Legasequels’.
