Fuck the fascists, fuck the collaborators, fuck the racists and homophobes and transphobes, fuck the hatemongers, fuck the sniveling equivocators, fuck the apologists, fuck the enablers, and fuck the bootlickers.

Fuck ‘em all.

It’s NOT?! Also: had no idea there was a strip club in Atwater. Learn something new every day.

One of the best television shows of all time as well as being one of the greatest testimonies to the beauty of making art in collaboration with people, the glory of theater, and the timeless appeal of Shakespeare.

Not for nothing, but Mark Bray’s book is sold out pretty much EVERYWHERE except for his publisher (but their shipping options are kinda bonkers).

It goes without saying, but anybody who CAMPAIGNS for a Nobel Peace Prize is a self-aggrandizing phony and an unworthy chump of the highest order.

What I find so fascinating about Ari Shapiro's AI question to David Simon -- for people who like to write, or write professionally, FIGURING OUT THIS STUFF IS THE FUN PART. It's almost the ONLY fun part.

Vile, Wrecked & Rotten has been announced! I wrote this musical graphic novel with Steve Burns, aka “Steve from Blue’s Clues,” aka one of my best friends, and it’s being illustrated by my dude @jimcampbellart.bsky.social, whose work you might know from an obscure tv show called Over the Garden Wall.

Rob Valois at Penguin Workshop has acquired, at auction, world rights to Vile, Wrecked, & Rotten, a musical middle grade graphic novel about the misadventures of Joanie Rotten, the 11-year-old protégé of two kid-phobic composers who ply their trade in the music-loving metropolis of San Orchestropolis, by Gabe Soria (I.) (The Midnight Arcade); Steve Burns (c.), host of Alive with Steve Burns and star of Blue's Clues; and Jim Campbell (r.), Eisner Award-winning artist of Over the Garden Wall. Publication is set for summer 2027; Charlie Olsen at InkWell Management represented Soria and Campbell, and Chad Kojouri at Range Media Partners represented Burns.

Tower in New Orleans in the 90s might as well have been a clubhouse. It was where EVERYBODY went to hang out.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

But what could Antifa have been opposing in Weimar Ger…. Oh. Oh!

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 1d

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Wolfmanning Skull 🎃 @manningkrull.bsky.social · Oct 28

Halloween is mostly about fun but I want to take a moment to share this sobering cautionary tale.

A handmade tombstone decoration that says, "Pickle Boy, the boy who ate too many pickles and turned into a pickle and died."

Steve Lieber, aka The Most Prepared Man in Comics.

Steve Lieber: NYCC K-19 @stevelieberart.bsky.social · 1d

For you signature collectors, I’ll have Artist Alley cheat sheets at my table at NYCC! There are 140 real people on the cover of the deluxe Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen. At least 12 of them are in artist alley! Some folks are already trying to get *everyone* in the crowd to sign the endpapers.

Two copies of Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen, along with the cheat sheet

The endpapers, an array of bow ties. Eleven of the bow ties are already signed.

I’m looking at it and I DIG IT.

A thing that should exist: a new series of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller, helmed by and hosted by Mackenzie Crook and focusing on spooky tales, eerie ghost stories, folk horror, and the like. And his puppet sidekick should be a smart-ass raven, which is on the nose (beak?), but too perfect not to do.

Y'all, I am VERY excited to introduce you to one of my new favorite Tolkien artists: Kay Woollard (1924-2008).

Woollard first read LotR in '79 when she was 55. From then until her death, she was heavily involved in Tolkien fan culture, contributing illustrations to Tolkien Society publications.
