Had a great time talking to Kristian @parttimefanboy.bsky.social about Shrub, childhood grief, roadtrips, and a plethora of things.

It's a two podcast week! I chat with writer @shaneport.bsky.social about the Kickstarter campaign for his new comic, Shrub, published by @fanbasepress.bsky.social. It's a tale of a sentient bush and the kids who take it on a journey to connect with its own roots. parttimefanboy.com/part-time-fa...

Graphic for episode 613 of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast featuring writer Shane Portman and his comic Shrub, being published by Fanbase Press.

Getting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’

We identified the top 100 sprayers of the controversial weedkiller Roundup in California—a state that produces more than three-quarters of the nation’s fruits and nuts and nearly half of its vegetables. Check out our new searchable database to find out who’s at the top of the list. bit.ly/3SqKXDZ

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

not saying federal immigration enforcement in any form should disappear tomorrow but if you leave this entity intact, and tinker at the edges and give them a stern talking to, however well meaning you are, you’re leaving these weapons and this orgy of abuses and masked thuggery intact for the next…

The videos can't capture the scope of what's happening. ICE is out of control. ICE accosted a man on his way to a medical appointment, handcuffed him, and forced him back to his house. Agents conducted a warrantless invasion of his home, where his 3 minor US citizen kids lived

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last mo.

1. "They tried to run us over" has been institutionalized as DHS's license to shoot people. They reflexively go to this lie when they draw their guns. 2. Even with a masked man is waving a gun in her face, this woman repeatedly tells them they are full of shit. Hero.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last mo.

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

Yael Schacher@yaelschacher.bsky.social · last mo.

So many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

Harris County District Attorn... • X.com @Harris CountyDAO We can confirm the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van tested negative for narcotics/ illicit drugs. We are not commenting further on the test results, as the investigation is pending. Harris County District Attorn... 9.1h O We have notified Salgado Araujo's family because we felt they had the right to know.
