I will forever quote @bencollins.bsky.social (I don't know if he coined it, but he was the first person I saw use it), this is nothing but "Call of Duty cosplay." It's truly awful and the people committing these assaults are the worst of the worst in America.

They're out here beating clergy too.

Alt text: A group of armed officers in camouflage uniforms and tactical gear confront a man dressed in black with a clerical collar. One officer sprays a chemical agent directly into the man’s face as he recoils, eyes shut tight and head turned from the spray. Other officers stand close by, heavily armed and wearing helmets, goggles, and protective gear. The man appears to be a pastor, as suggested by his attire. The scene is tense and chaotic, taking place on a city street.

I'll just come on to yours just to come on. I don't need to promote anything!

I was holding off on posting a podcast pilot I have until I banked enough to release it. But I'm going to get up early tomorrow and release my dumbest pilot yet...

Ask Werner Anything... Hosted by someone who isn't Werner Herzog, but what do names mean and does who we are even matter anyway?

If you work in AI or use AI for art, don't bother following me. I don't post anything interesting, and only like 10% of my posts are mildly funny--at best. However, I will block you, and I'll enjoy every moment of it.

Peddle your thievery elsewhere.

Finally...

I am truly a hero.

I keep forgetting to close out my tabs when I have preview pages of EC Comics books open because my son walks into my office, sees them, and asks things like, "Why is that zombie in a grocery store?"

Then, I have to explain to him that zombies need to go shopping too.

I am truly a hero.

DOJ head Pam Bondi refuses to answer if the FBI found photos of Donald Trump with "half-naked young women"( trafficked children and adult victims ) during its #Epstein investigation. She proceeds to try to deflect from the question, when asked again she remains silent. #OpDeathEaters

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Things are good. Still complaining about things I can't control online. You still doing comedy? (Sorry, I've been out of that loop for so long now.)

"I'd rather be happy living in a cardboard box than sad living in a mansion."

I just said this to my son, and I think I accidentally said something important.

Well, I truly am a hero.

I would 100% support a potential third party--as mentioned in this piece--that is focused on working-class rights.

"These voters are way more progressive than the pundits who put them down as no-account populists. They are also more radical than many progressives who are playing footsie with the Democrats."

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?
