hi i don't really post here but today is a really good reminder that "Vote Blue No Matter Who" is a propaganda tactic to get progressives to vote for centrists and never the inverse

dems immediately drop it when it's inconvenient

good luck @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, philly is rooting for you!

Many years ago I got banned from r/library (r/libraries? I don't remember) for posting comics I authored (S/O to Joe Luma, my artist collaborator who isn't on BlueSky) about libraries

today I am banned from r/comics for telling an AI "artist" to kick dirt

i am proud of both bans

🚨 PHILLY VS. ICE 🚨

Five of our neighbors were kidnapped by ICE today. Folks have called for an *emergency protest* at the Federal Detention Center at 700 Arch St. beginning at 4pm.

Come prepared, mask up, stay safe, raise hell. Let’s give these fascist monsters a real Philly welcome 🧊

I don't have a strong BlueSky following, and I'll be honest: I don't really have the energy to build one.

The app was having issues on my phone, so I uninstalled, and now I'm looking at my phone less and being in the world more. I should probably continue to not build a BlueSky following.

watching lefties crucify david hogg for saying the word "laid" on the bill maher show reminds me that the left is more interested in fighting the left than in fighting fascism. we should all be scared

Now that the Vatican have sealed the door, can we have that PopeYes promotional sale that I've been begging for since Francis came to Philly?

Funny how all the conspiracy theorists talked about overpopulation for so many years it became a huge Marvel plot thread and now that Elon owns twitter all of a sudden the issue is underpopulation.

Almost like the narrative is based on the whims of the powerful.

This insanity with the Tesla boycott being so effective so quickly tells me that Americans have a lot more disposable income for cars than I would assume based on being as broke as I've always been.
