Lots of awful in the world so we have to take our wins where we can get ‘em, even when the victories are small. Jerry Jones is unhappy today. Miserable, in fact. This is a win.

Hey, all the cool kids attending @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social—stop by booth 3417 and get your horror goodness from Storm King Productions! Will see you today and tomorrow.
They had better get that damn fool out of the park right now.
Nobody's house should be burned down, of course, but if the Yankees don't announce they know who he is and he's banned for life ...
Lane Johnson is a Hall of Fame offensive lineman. He has done things purely on the power of his mind that would leave Stephen A. Smith crying. I think Smith would do well to ensure he and Johnson are never in the same room.
Quick, act surprised as they gut what's left of a dwindling workforce, and then wonder why no one is around to make things, anymore.

"Hey, Spike! You know that wholly malevolent force for ruin that inexorably fouls everything it touches? Would you like me to set up a meeting with it so it can destroy everything you've poured your life into for the past 20 years, in the name of sick, hollow profit? No charge! 🥰"
I would actually rather be raked over white-hot glowing coals, you fucking bloodless parasite, but thanks for asking
Playing against the White Sox wasn't enough–the Guardians have to play against The Pope, too? It's too much. I demand a recount.
It's gonna be a banger! Looking forward to seeing the Albany area fans–always a great, supportive group.

This is a common circumstance–our basic needs as independent contracting creators don't show up on the radar of private equity spreadsheets. (Oh and by the way, $1k/month doesn't cover deductibles or copays. I say this from experience.)
Erica Schultz-Opinions are my own@ericaschultz42.bsky.social · 4d ago$1k is a rounding error for the bean counters. It's my health insurance for a month.
The absolute damnedest thing about the bean-counters: their ignorance of the impact of small margins. Small margin impact to overall revenue stream is beneath their macro notice, but that small margin is HUGE for individual creators. It's the silent evil of private equity and media consolidation.
Erica Schultz-Opinions are my own@ericaschultz42.bsky.social · 5d ago1,000% this! Also, and I say this as a person who has many comics on Marvel Unlimited, this will impact the revenue stream of creators. Daredevil: Unleash Hell was removed from digital, and that impacts the bottom line of the creators of that book, myself included.
Few things are less abstract than "oh, shit, I'm pregnant".
Just to be clear, this isn't much different from what he wrote in Dobbs. To which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan aptly responded: "This is to ignore as judges what we know as men and women. The interests women have in Roe and Casey are perfectly, viscerally concrete." [2]

It's almost as if GWB found the single worst possible person for this appointment after The Senate Borked the Harriet Miers nomination. It's not even that his judicial opinions are garbage–Alito is a genuinely bad person.
Marty Lederman@martylederman.bsky.social · 5d agoSamuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

John Roberts Retreated to His Island. Supreme Court Critics Found Him. (Gift Article)
After decades of potlucks and paddle-boarding on Maine’s midcoast, rising anger and protests have left the Supreme Court’s chief justice more isolated than ever.

John Roberts' friend and defender is quoted in the piece, saying they shouldn't be shaming Roberts for the wreckage and ruin he's brought to this country because of "civility." The bullies always cry "civility" when the victims push back in the slightest.
Yonette Joseph@sugarcane99.bsky.social · last wk.Public anger comes for John Roberts The chief justice’s summer retreat in Maine used to be one of boating, potluck dinners, touch football and easy friendships. Locals called him “John.” Now a swirl of anger has been rising at him, transforming his getaways. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
