It’s great that 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is coming right out swinging. Not having a second of this bullshit!

I think coddled hacks like Bari Weiss have no idea what to do with righteous fury like this except, if anything, somehow play victim. Let’s see!
Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email.

I have a patreon. It’s £3 a month & you get to see some stuff every Saturday, either a finished comic page from Worms, my gothic horror comic, or process images of the previous weeks page (pencils, inks, textures). It’s pretty cool & helps me lots. Have a look here:

IT'S A HALLOWEEN MIRACLE!

My new video, a review of the 2024 workplace safety horror STILL WAKES THE DEEP, is premiering tomorrow at 8PM Irish Time. Make sure to set your reminders because after quite a few months working on it, this is going to be very good!

not gonna QT that one post of "the left is seething about how normies are out and against ICE" but i will say that to any extent this exists it's largely from well earned resentment from libs scolding about how abolish ICE was stupid and irresponsible. getting yelled at for being right 'too early'

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

All these rich, successful comedians taking Saudi blood money so they can buy another summer house or have their purebred dogs cloned a thousand times are such repulsive sellout losers.

Once he's no longer rhetorically useful, the right wing will move on from Chuck so fast it'll make your head spin and he'll be completely forgotten by everyone but a handful of resentful people who clung to him as their meal ticket. There's something spiritually satisfying about that knowledge.

Maybe it's just me being out of the game (so to speak) for a few years, but games discourse and criticism does feel like it's gotten worse recently. Less interested in having anything to say about a game's substance and more endlessly litigating tired arguments about difficulty and [...]

I cannot be convinced to care about that man's family and loved ones. He's a monster

Moreover, we've been neck deep in rabid political violence already, for years, because of people like him. To scold people by pretending this portends something new is insulting to our intelligence.

Well we're about to live through the absolute worst year of anti-trans hysteria any of us has ever seen, so hold onto your brothers, sibs, and sisters and keep things locked down.

I’m back! I saw your messages on here & elsewhere—thank you all <3. I’m deeply disappointed in @bsky.app moderation; equating pushback against people like JKR with the harm they cause to trans ppl only enables more violence. I’ll talk more soon but even a day away from social media has been healthy.
