Incredible that we're almost on year 60 of Israel doing things with US bombs, US diplomatic support and US lawyering and the media continues to say the US is frustrated. Where's the evidence of this? Shut the fuck up.

If I were in the US, no power on Earth could prevent me from attending this event with two TITANS of comix

Spain has banned people who served in the IDF from returning to Spain. It's time every other country did the same. Don't you agree?

I liked the ‘Marsellaise’ scene. Otherwise I was so bored I would have left the cinema, but I had nothing better to do so I hatewatched it to the end.

Whats a movie everyone fucking loves that you despise? It doesnt have to be objectively bad, you just objectively DID NOT. Heres one for me since Ive been on a Barbara Loden kick lately-

AI RANT Following the cancellation of three major debut book deals over AI suspicions, I decided to put my own (needless to say, 100% human-written) prose to the test. My detector of choice was Originality AI, and the results proved to be jarring, to say the least. 🧵1/5

It started raining just before 4am. Not heavily. Light drizzle. Forecast says 15 minutes will be all for today, maybe more tomorrow.

So often what are called “culture wars” are one set of people saying “please can we live without perpetual persecution” and another saying “no, f*** you” but the press considering the latter group have “legitimate concerns” and must be perpetually platformed

Today is the birthday of Trina Robbins (Aug. 17, 1938-April 10, 2024.) A writer, artist, editor, & historian, she cocreated Vampirella & helped found Wimmen’s Comix, an anthology that showcased female creators. She also worked on Wonder Woman & wrote several books on women in the comics industry.

NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death. But there are things we can do. This is a practical guide based on my own experience. broligarchy.substack.com/p/a-digital-...

White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .

Ofcom, the Met, Parliament need to take a look at coverage like this from Pearson and The Telegraph after the Jason Arday tragedy. Unconscionable bile. #r4today

"Free speech" for the centrist media libs never meant anything more than "I should be able to say trans people are gross and still be accepted in elite society, and it should be illegal to criticize Israel and anyone who does should be shunned from society entirely."

Mimi Pond's Do Admit, connecting her experiences with the biographies of the 20th century Mitford Sisters won an Eisner Award, so nothing we say matters, but we love it. "immensely readable and it transmits as Pond greatly enjoying herself". @dandq.bsky.social theslingsandarrows.com/do-admit-the...

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

Count Binface on the Clacton by-election on US TV, "If Nigel Farage strikes me down electorally I will become more powerful than he can possibly imagine" "Because the parliamentary committee will look into his £5 million unconditional gift" "But he didn't declare it"

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Found this file on my computer the other day, forgot we did this variant a while back. Technically the last M&C strip I did.

Here’s my latest felt “grisaille” stone god. This is the fourth and hopefully I can find somewhere to show them when they are all complete or I’ll just have to exhibit them all in my garage. This guy is over a metre tall and hand sewn in felt.
