Grant Morrison - yeah, I've done work before. I'm done doing work now. Here's my long ass bullshit explanation for why I'm now a lazy, grifty piece of shit.

Cut to Tom Brevoort scrambling to hire Morrison and his AI friend...

Swara A.S. ☀️🍉🌊🧿 @spiderswarz.bsky.social · 56m

Morrison invoking AI alike to "God" indicates a severe misunderstanding of how AI appropriates the work of thousands, including their own, and someone needs to rectify their understanding ASAP.

But also it's a severe disservice to their colleagues anyway to use it and justify it like this.

Reddit comment from comic writer Grant Morrison explaining why they use AI

Coolest vanity plate I've seen yet.

Who knew Volvo was the secret of the Power Cosmic?

Volvo with a licence plate that reads NORINRAD.

But @gavinnewsom.bsky.social will come right to your house and personally take it back from you if he finds out your trans.

Because he's a piece of shit.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I've rarely preordered a record so quickly. Didn't even shop around or wait for a deal. Can't wait to get my shipping confirmation from @plaidroomrecords.bsky.social.

Blocking off the afternoon when it arrives.

Winky the Pirate Cat wearing some fabric harness-like configuration that Sarah put on her. I guess the sewing machine is out downstairs.

How are so many people still on there? No justification at this point other than "I'll compartmentalize my opposition to Nazis so I can enjoy the views (that are mostly bots, but anyway...)"

Yeah, but could you please stop with the cross posting on the Nazi site? JFC. There's zero justification at this point.

This cowardly motherfucker using the phrase "join in a chorus of conviction" when he votes with Israel and the GOP all the time...

Can't believe he was dumb enough to do this interview.

Also -- nearly $1 million from AIPAC can't be waved away. But what a cute little Zionist pin you like to wear.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 1d

"Look, I'm one of a handful of people that don't take corporate PAC money."

"What about AIPAC money? You take AIPAC money, don't you?"

"A minuscule percentage of my resources come from..."

"I read it's like $800,000...."

Shawn Schillberg @shawnst.bsky.social · 22h

Love this. Hold every Dem diva like @booker.senate.gov to the fire.

He's a self-serving coward who has no spine or motivation except for enriching himself and his brand.

Remember that cute little filibuster stunt? How many craven votes followed almost immediately?

Fuck Cory Booker.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 1d

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

Time to start erasing everyone even remotely associated with anyone working for ICE.

Neighbor's kid? Shun your neighbors.

Your cousin's boyfriend? Cut that cousin out. They clearly have no taste or decision-making skills.

No peace for ICE or their people. And people on the sidelines are next.

There's no such thing as a good Republican/Cop/Nazi.

Karen Geier @karengeier.com · 1d

If I have to see another post on here claiming there used to be good republicans and they got replaced by the baddies I’m going to fucking scream. The Southern Strategy was in the 1960s. Lee Atwater was giving speeches to these “nice people” where he just shouted the n word in the 70s

Shawn Schillberg @shawnst.bsky.social · 1d

Lol.

I'd love to have the balls to say, "I'm gonna 2-star the best album Springsteen ever released."

Everyone buying this already knows what's on it, and that's why we're dying for it to arrive.

"clash"

Have you ever seen these two? It's a sleepy old man with no fight left in him vs a closeted Republican who has the charisma of gonorrhea.

Moulton will burn through cash and crash out in a blink. Markey will wake up just in time to win by default and lumber off for another nap.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 1d

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.
