What the Iranian attack confirms is that Trump is no longer capable of operating in the real world when it dissents from the Trump as God Emperor narrative. He can't process information that dissents from the narrative. Thus he cannot lead or protect us; and we are in danger bsky.app/profile/did:...

My Mac Mini has a 256 gb hard drive System data, os and Applications ALONE are 146 gigs of data. Throw in mail, messages and photo and that's another 65 gigs. So I'm done. I know you're supposed to be able to store some of that in the cloud but it comes back. How?
Well, based on the messages I'm seeing on the Beat slack and Blue Sky...Con Crud/Con Covid is going strong!
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

You guys, my flight home took off on time and is currently in the air. Huge miracle thus far. The girl next to me is drinking white wine right from the can.
Well! Just got to SD airport for my 8:30 flight and there is NO ONE at the Jet Blue desk. Sinister and troubling. Seems like every other flight is cancelled!
Whoa! Could the spectacle of Hall H become a thing of the past to make more exhibit space? #sdcc

This win was bittersweet for me, as Steve asked for a photo so he could put me on the cover and....I forgot to send one. ONe of the biggest mistakes of my comics life. Always follow the 2 minute rule, folks.

I want to note that although this has been a strange night, the crowd is full, supportive of all the nominees, people really do only care about about celebrating a lot of great comics. That said, even if the winners know they have won, they still have a loooong walk to the stage. #eisnerawards #SDCC
Best Writer/Artist this is a big one! the winner is Best Writer/Artist: Jamal Campbell, Zatanna This is truly a spectacular book. #eisnerawards #SDCC
Sung Kang and Tamara Braun are up to present some awards. First - Best Writer which goes...once again to Mariko Tamaki! No doubt Mariko deserves this but what an amazing category this year. Of the book, she says, "It is hard to hold on to what you know is true, but it is always wroth the fight."
