House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of the convicted sex offender’s victims, among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. nyti.ms/441Dyxh

Sesame Street taught us that lifting each other up and celebrating our differences is a much better way to live than being miserable and doing the exact opposite.

Here’s some of my favorite Sesame Street art by the legendary Jack Davis. ❤️

Happy 56th to the Street!

Really enjoyed #PredatorBadlands and Elle Fanning is always terrific. Worth a watch on the big screen.

It’s not officially the holiday season until Maisy has a reindeer to completely thrash, disembowel, and annihilate.

A picture of the night sky and a poem to go with it. Good night, all.

The moon holds all her secrets
High above the sorrows
And the burdens of mankind
Graceful and untouched
Her pale light to guide us
To the safety of our dreams

Thinking about my mom today, and missing her. So I thought I’d share this Free Comic Book Day all-ages story I wrote for her two or three years ago. Art by the fantabulous Magz Thurston for @inkanddrinklb.bsky.social

Give it a read if you’re missing someone too.

I had a dream last night that me and Fred Armisen were “spies” on some kind of “mission” and we ate huge bowls of Häagen-Dazs (chocolate) for lunch.

Thank you for listening.

Picked up this wonderful facsimile edition of DC’s House of Mystery that I remember wanting when I was a kid. Such a fun read and it features typically fantastic art by the legend himself, Neal Adams. A perfect spooky season read! #readmorecomics @nealadams.bsky.social

Many people ask me “Jim, what do you do to celebrate Halloween every year?”

We have one tradition: the hanging of the famous and infamous Donald Pleasence Head in the window.

Happy Halloween from our fam and Dr. Loomis to you. 🎃

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER doesn't have all the answers. It's telling a story.

Also: No movie has the answers. Not a one. They tell stories.

Solving the problems of the world is not even remotely a movie's job.

Hope this helps.

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Angry doesn’t even cut it. A haiku:

Sure, SNAP is ending
But behold my gold ballroom
“Let them all eat cake”

Just FYI, if you know anyone that needs assistance, findhelp.org & feedingamerica.org are good resources.

Last night I watched one of my fave movies: 1921’s The Phantom Carriage from director Victor Sjöström (who put umlauts in his name so that Mötley Crüe could borrow them decades later).

Okay, that last part wasn’t true, but it’s one of the best films about regret I’ve ever seen.

A Sunday haiku:

Losing empathy
Is something thoughts and prayers
Can never bring back

Maisy made a new friend this morning to help with her daily neighborhood watch. Her name is Kayako Saeki. I may Google her name to see if we have anything to worry about. I’m sure we’ll be fine! #juonthegrudge #juon #dogs #dogsofbluesky #dogsarethebest #horror
