My single Red Hood issue was the 15th best-selling comic of September, like out of all serialized comics in America. Incredibly funny.

This cancellation still hurts so fucking bad for so many reasons. I hate them all so much for this compounded shit-cake.

200 years ago, Clausewitz wrote the theory on the back-and-forth nature of war and the dynamic of move-countermove in his seminal work "On War."

Charli xcx is realizing his vision.

Clausewitz wrote the theory, Charlsewitz xcx will do the praxis.

Hope you find beauty in the unexpected places this coming week.

Remember, rest is resistance.

A dirt utility road through a forest. There’s a large mud puddle taking up most of the width of the road and it is reflecting pine trees and the partially cloudy sky.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

The Speaker of the House flailed across television as reporters fact-checked his claim that Democrats shut down the government to lavish undocumented immigrants with free health care.

In reality, those immigrants are ineligible for tax credits, Medicaid, and Medicare. trib.al/ydesufx

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

灰薫る機械仕掛けの宴

かつてこの地に栄えた貴族たちの、倒錯した美的嗜好によって築かれた劇場。 舞台という牢籠の内に囚われし蝶化の異形たちは、妖しくも甘やかな声で歌を紡ぎ、
その旋律は、精緻なる機械仕掛けの音楽と絡み合い、波のように寄せては返す。

やがて、灰に咲き乱れる花々に呑まれ、劇場は廃墟と成り果てたが――
今なお、その深奥にて、名状しがたい歌は繰り返し歌い継がれている。
もはや誰一人として、それを聴く者もいないというのに。

Impressive example of what quality tailoring can do. A client came in with an asymmetrical pelvic tilt, a considerable spinal misalignment, a bent knee in one leg, and an overhanging tummy. But properly tailored trousers create a clean line. He now looks great.
