Nerd by many degrees but the roots lie deep in comic books, Star Wars/Trek, and all things produced in the 80s.
How many times do they need to tell us who they are? Is anybody surprised that this espouser of "Christian" values is secretly vibing with porn? Projection is the grift. And this clown wants Bibles in the classroom...SMH

Well this one really fucking sucks. My son, 10, just started getting into Ozzy, he loves Crazy Train. He's going to be bummed for sure. I mean, we're all surprised he made it this far but in some sense, I think we all thought Ozzy was immortal. 😢

It's the fucking cruelty with this administration. People using these programs are working & STILL can't make enough to survive. Instead of creating homelessness, let's do something about the gross income inequality that leads to poverty here in the first place.

Every degree program at IU in education, gone. No Bachelors. No Masters. No PhD. The state of Indiana just admitted that it has no interest in curating the educators of tomorrow. They've basically said to hell with teaching, it isn't a valued profession.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

@rbreich.bsky.social please take a look at what's happening with Job Corps. Regardless of what the right wing news sites might be spewing, this program has changed so many underprivileged lives in such a material way. In my 4 years with JC I have seen, first hand, so many lives positively impacted.
May 30, 2025 at 1:40 AM
I don't see many people here talking about it but the fascist-in-chief ordered a "pause" to all Job Corps operations today. We have 30 days to find some 30k young adults a place in this world before it all goes away for good. To say nothing of the fates of the thousands of staff members affected.

Last night, I found out that comics legend Peter David had passed. We only met a few times, I didn't know him well, but I always felt a kinship with him because of the way he wrote comics, what he felt was important.

He wrote his superheroes as people.

It meant a lot.

Rest in peace, Peter.

Model trains have been transformative for my son, a young boy that faces many challenges due to ADHD and DMDD. These stories illustrate just how harmful the current administration's economic policies are to real people in an industry that is about as American as it gets.
