This is well done.
Genuinely.
Read it, be frustrated, & then find something to do that supports people.

@warren.senate.gov is one of the few guests on the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social whose interview I will watch in full.

No shade to other guests who share their work.
Colbert conducts an excellent interview, it is just rare that the whole topic is important enough to listen all the way through.

Yes, I am one week late to start. However, at 09:02 is an example of one of the myriad ways a @miamulder.bsky.social video rewards the viewer who actually attends to the information by actually watching.

So watch it through & pause to read during the 2nd time.

Mia Mulder — What Does It Mean To
I wanted to examine identity, how we use it, why we have it, why it matters and in the process I lost my mind.

The current job market reminds me a lot of 2012.

However, it is much slower. If there is any response at all it is generally weeks later with weeks more before a final response.

At the start of the year when I began looking, there were more jobs & more responses within a reasonable timeframe.

On the topic of music... why was this song by FLOW randomly in my head this morning? No idea. Solid song (famously the 4th Naruto OP) & I had forgotten how nuts is the accompanying MV:

Futurama has great needle drops—one of many reasons I revisit the show so often.

Search & tagging is borked as I type, even so I am posting this link because no-one should ever apologize for talking about kerning.
Typography is too important a topic and the short time spent on it is excellent.

Most excited about Bendis & Bagley collaboration as they are one of my favorite creative teams.

(Ignored this talk until now when a responsible source has posted this information.)
Brian Michael Bendis is back at Marvel for a new run of stories, starting with a back-up by Mark Bagley in January's AVENGERS #800.
Bendis returns to Marvel for AVENGERS #800
Bendis's back-up story, featuring art by Mark Bagley, will mark the writer's first Marvel project since 2018.

A good conversation that touched base on creative persistence/perseverance & finding the truth in the character & stories.

Also mentioned too briefly "Speeding Bullets", the first Elseworld that I spent money to read. Like much of what @jmdematteis.bsky.social has written, it stays with the reader.

Nice to look around & see things mostly turning out well on an Election Day.

A better feeling than that other thing...

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI.

With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.

With solidarity, legislation, class action lawsuits, and a little help from Guillermo del Toro. Plus, the Luddite Renaissance continues, and I open the mailbag.

The utter lack of decency along with a complete lack of respect & recognition of both conventional limits & the law... While it is has long since stopped being a shock in any way, it remains infuriating to see such harm inflicted on vulnerable people & institutions that stand for something better.
NYT Confirms: Trump will DEMOLISH the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House.

The Times says the East Wing is expected to be fully torn down by the weekend to make room for Trump's ballroom for billionaires — despite the fact that Trump pledged the White House would not be touched.

The search for reference is increasingly fraught because of the scourge of ai slop.

This is not a new complaint. Just a pain today. Pinterest has been essentially unusable for a while now.

General search on google is a shitshow.

DuckDuckGo is ok-ish with care.

So fucking done with ai images.

Sometimes, a little music to help get through the news, or into—or sustain—a creative space.

To that end, here is "I Think I Can" by The Pillows.

Poor training. Poor education. Poor fitness. Poor ethics. Poor understanding of the law.

.... read "No" instead of "Poor".
ICE seems to require each of its thugs to get a potbelly.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.
