There may well be active duty troops in the Middle East right now who have family members locked in ICE jails. Congress authorized Military Parole-in-Place specifically to avoid this situation. But the Trump admin has shown little care to families caught in this situation.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

Folks.... It is Election Day! Polls close at 7 PM TONIGHT. This is an all hands on deck moment. Let's turn out the vote, beat Amendments 4 and 5, and decide which Democrats you want representing you in the general election.

From a cartoonist who writes stupidly long comics: I force myself to do a little bit every day, even if I don’t want to or feel like shit or don’t feel like I have time. Even just opening a script on my phone and writing one line. Ink one panel. Just do something

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Bought a commission today and the artist told me that I’d basically just paid their bills for the week so always remember that having artists draw porn of your favorite characters is a noble cause

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

Reminder, the only time Trump played a golf tournament where he couldn't cheat, the American Century celebrity tournament in 2006, he shot 52 over par in 3 rounds and finished in 62nd place out of 80 celebrities, then cheated on his wife with a pornstar www.nbcsports.com/american-cen...

the big problem with sports franchise valuations skyrocketing and continuing to do so is that the only people who can afford to be team owners anymore are the worst fuckin people on earth. unfortunately this also applies to every other company in every other industry.
