I just watched Righteous Gemstones, and that was a fun binge. Also, if you haven't watched The Expanse, I think that's worth the investment. It *goes* places.

My friend Allison has cancer. I've been helping by giving updates for her on Caringbridge. I post them on Facebook, and they get less engagement than any other post.
How much $ do you think Facebook makes each year from people desperate enough to advertise the updates to their medical crises?

Very excited about this new digital comics shop @sweetshop.app. I love print comics, but I think there's also a need for a truly great digital comics app—and I'm not interested in tying myself to Amazon in order to build a digital comics library.

I missed that the South African drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo passed, at 85, last June. Listen to this song, which always soothes something unsettled deep inside me, recorded in exile in London in 1978. Unreal, non-egoist, beat-dragging, masterful drumming on this track. A musician's musician. RIP.

Oh, I love this GoFundMe aimed at helping @nisishawl.bsky.social fund the writing of a different kind of book: an "artifact of [an] imaginary philosophical movement". This is a book Nisi dreamed and has used in their fiction, so the idea of it jumping the veil into the realized world is thrilling.

My favorite part of this article is that there was a schism and original Castrator vocalist Mallika Sundaramurthy formed a new band called Emasculator. May this new sub-genera flourish as it splits and divides in infinitum, death metal cell division building a body of bloody brutal feminist metal.
My favorite feminist brutal death metal band just released a killer new album, so I did a quick interview with founding member Carolina Pérez Arango!

Ok, so here's my train of thought:
Holy shit, I had no idea who Devo WAS. I just know the song "Whip It". Never considered its meaning.
Musical innovation!
Whoa, they're MAD political...and I love it!
Mark Mothersbaugh? That's the dude from Rugrats!
Not even DONE with the documentary & already:

We made you a rigorously cited timeline of major moves, cases, changes, and other wildass developments in the immigration system since January 20. This is one of the most complicated things I've ever worked on, but we think it needs to be done. The thread breaks down the kinds of things we found.

Red was one of a kind. She was a radical in the best sense, unwavering in her identity. Yes, a lovable grump who, when you got a smile out of her, you know you really earned it.
RIP Red Reddick. Red was a Seattle bookselling legend—a lovable grump who was boundlessly passionate about sharing great literature with good people.
