Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

They’re gonna move the goal posts a lot for the DUI hire.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by the account Jim Himes (@jahimes ). The post reads: "Last week, Tulsi Gabbard said 'any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of law and will be treated as such.' By the Trump admin’s own 'standards' everyone on this chain would lose their access to classified info and be subject to criminal investigation." Below this, there is a reposted tweet from Shane Harris (@shaneharris ), which states: "In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on the Houthis in a Signal group—and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of..." (the message cuts off). The reposted tweet was made 6 hours prior, as indicated by the timestamp.

This is super neat and as a bilingual Canadian I'm excited to check out this program!

Finally, a bilingual show for a bilingual country

Canada has two official languages, but you’d never know it by watching TV or listening to the radio. We did something about that
www.tvo.org/article/fina...
But I was that proverbial dog with a bone. I beseeched The Agenda’s executive producer, Stacey Dunseath: “We can do this. We are the only two channels in the country that can undertake this because unlike elsewhere, we don’t have multiple levels of bureaucracy to gum up the works.” “What do you have in mind?” Stacey asked. I described a show in which I would be the English-speaking host and a TFO anchor would be the French-speaking host. We’d then book four perfectly bilingual guests who could answer questions in both official languages, and we’d seamlessly switch between French and English. We’d tape the program and put subtitles in after, translating whatever language was being spoken. “Say yes and then let’s get your counterpart at TFO to say yes,” I begged.

Every worker’s job is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for Canada’s diverse public service. Tell the government at remoteworks.ca, #RemoteWorks

I just discovered the line art of Waclaw Szpakowski -- who did his work for in the early 00s but didn't show it for decades to anyone but family

Coincidentally, two years ago I made a web-art tool that lets you do drawings somewhat like his

Item #6 in my "Linkfest": buttondown.com/clivethompso...
An image of an artwork drawn entirely with a single thin black line on piece of aged yellow parchment. The line moves in a jagged up-and-down fashion, charting a diagonal path across the page. The overall aesthetic effect is something like a 1920s art deco ornamentation. A single black line that loops around itself, turning only in right angles, often producing a small perfect square as it turns right, then right, then right again. It was done on a computer, so the width of the line is perfect and consistent, and each turn has the exact same spacing.

I don’t want to force anybody into anything, but it’s a great time for Jason Segel to release a full length puppet-led vampire musical.
