August 4, 2019: Following shootings in El Paso and Dayton, first term Trump spoke out against “destructive partisanship.” So I drew this.

Looks like I'm gonna have to do my PBS thread again. People look at the brand and don't pay attention to the stuff they push. It's been bad for awhile.

What is PBS Kids doing telling 3rd graders to use Ai to write a poem???

I'm sorry to hear he has suffered so much. Alcoholism is a terrible illness. More power to all my friends who overcome it day after day. www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

“There were ICUs that were empty all over the country, including in New York at the height.” Typical antivaxxer lying bullshit that dishonors the dead and the health care workers who risked their lives to fight the pandemic. singjupost.com/transcript-o...

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Me: How do I import this ics file? Outlook: There's a new way to do it! Me: Okay. What was wrong with the old way? Outlook: This way is better! Me: No, it's just different. The old way worked fine. Outlook: Do you hate progress? Me: I hate learning new dumb ways to do the old dumb things.

Just catching up to the news that Boy George used AI to support Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. Did he really want to hurt me? Make me cry?

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

I don’t want people’s takeaway from this post to be that the only people who need to worry about Long Covid are people with seasonal allergies. The point is that healthy people get long covid and none of us know yet what exactly makes someone vulnerable. So be a good neighbor. Mask up.

I'm psyched for the upcoming release of the Rubber Soul box sets. Not that I can afford to buy any of them. But I'll stream them on YouTube Music and watch all the Beatles nerds on YouTube rave/rant about them. It's the EMI-vs-Capitol release discourse I crave.

Tell me the one again about DSA leftists and their insane ideas that will drive normal voters away ...

I re-read The Odyssey about 8 years ago. Not the Emily Wilson translation, although I looked for it based on the recommendation of a friend who had written a book on Homer's influence on modernist writers. My local store didn't have it and I was impatient, so I grabbed Robert Fagles. It was good!

Wrote about the Masculinity Scam, or how selling reactionary ideas about what makes a man helps a small number of bad people profit and makes everyone else (including men) miserable www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Finished "A Very Irregular Head" last night. Likely the best Syd Barrett biography we will ever get. ("Dark Globe" is also very good, but lacks details about his later life.) My favorite bit: a little girl interrupts Syd's gardening to ask if a make-believe horse can fly. He confirms it can.

Things I'd like to see struck from online discourse: "End of argument. Move along people." "I'll wait."

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

Now I have to the movie just so I can read the article the translator wrote about it.
