Long, head patting lectures from Republicans about how we should be ordering less fancy coffees and avocado toast while they use our tax dollars for sex planes and lobster tail.
I’ll admit took me a few bars to get on board but this props up my belief that there has never been a bad recording of Johnny B Goode.
Onto my nearly infinite JBGoode playlist it goes…
Five years after fleeing the last U.S. war, 1,100 Afghan refugees who risked their lives are stranded in a Qatar refugee camp as missiles rain overhead.
150 people are family members of U.S. servicemembers.
Unconscionable.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

'Living For The City' - Stevie Wonder
I wish I had heard Stevie much earlier. My gateway to soul, funk, jazz and black music generally.

Minneapolis cartoonist Steve Sack has been on a roll lately.
He's been on the front lines of the ICE invasion and his cartoons are boiling with rage at ICE and Mad Emperor Piggy. Well worth checking out his Substack.
Damn, what a stellar drawing!

Watch this.
19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.
As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸
We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW
Black and white photo of an older white lady standing on a house porch wearing pants, a plaid blouse, and her white hair puffing out from under a plaid cap. She is smiling at the camera and cradling a shorthaired tabby cat in her arms.
Look at these cuties. 💕 Photo from my collection, no date but the back says “Tiger and I on porch at home.”
A box of these just arrived on my front porch.

René Magritte, The Blank Signature, 1965
I will never, ever forgive GOP and GOP voters for all the hell they continually put American and the world thru. Never, ever.
Vintage black-and-white studio portrait photograph of a young Berthe Morisot in the late 1860s or early 1870s, posed elegantly beside an ornate carved Victorian chair with twisted spindles and dark velvet upholstery. She is a poised woman in her 20s or early 30s with dark curly hair styled in an upswept fashionable manner, wearing a long-sleeved dark satin or silk dress with button detailing and a full, sweeping skirt. She leans gracefully on the chair arm with both hands, gazing directly to her left with a serious, introspective expression. The opulent interior background features paneled walls, evoking her bourgeois Parisian upbringing and her emergence as a key figure in Impressionism.
Impressionist oil painting "Woman at Her Toilette" (1875–1880) by Berthe Morisot, showing a young woman viewed from behind as she sits at her dressing table, arranging her hair in front of a large mirror. She wears an off-the-shoulder white gown with blue ribbon accents, her bare back and shoulders softly rendered in luminous, loose brushstrokes of white, cream, pink, and pale blue. The vanity holds a glass perfume bottle, flowers, and toiletries; the background dissolves into a dreamy swirl of pastel floral wallpaper, light reflections, and airy colors. The composition captures intimate, everyday feminine ritual with fleeting light and vibrant, sketch-like Impressionist technique, emphasizing privacy, elegance, and modern womanhood.
French painter Berthe Morisot died #OTD in 1895.
Acclaimed Impressionist who captured light, intimacy & everyday life with breathtaking brushwork. Only woman to exhibit her work at the first Impressionist exhibition (1874) alongside Monet, Renoir, and Degas. #art #ArtHistory #Impressionism #WHM
The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.
different types of giants lizards and a barbarian woman riding one of them.
double spread page full of people. It took weeks.
A convoy of lizards enters the ribcage of a giant humanoid skeleton with horns.

Woo-hoo pinned post! Hello! I'm Nuclearpasta and I make Ten Earth Shattering Blows, the webcomic with big lizards, big trees, big fights, one big woman and one tiny one!

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.
Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
I Met The First Martian - As a group of people have a discussion, a giant alien hand reaches down to grab them.
Opening splash page from My Greatest Adventure no. 16 (Aug 1957) by Sheldon “Shelly” Moldoff. The beloved Batman artist of the 40s & 50s doing a sci-fi story here, and it looks great. Freed from being Bob Kane’s ghost artist, he displays a great affinity for science fiction.
I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself.
The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.
A comics page in black and white. Arranged in 5 tiers of panels, each with successively smaller panels and more per row - with the exception of the first. Opens with no panel border - silhouette of a hand in a gun position - with smoke coming from index finger. speech balloon “i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn’t lose any voters, ok?” Caption “this is perhaps the most truthful thing trump has ever said…” Same row - more than half page width panel with three drawings of trump making jerky body distortions mocking cerebral palsy. Caption “one might’ve assumed when he mocked reporter serge kovaleski that it would cross a line and be the end of him in public life.” Speech balloon “now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy!” Caption “that was naive.” Next row, first panel, slightly more than page width - closeup on trump’s open mouth, shouting “when you’re a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy. you can do anything.” Caption “surely, there’d be no coming back from this?” Second panel - silhouettes of tiki torch carrying rioters with their shirt collars showing. Caption “or this?” Dialogue “you also had some very fine people on both sides.” Caption “and yet…” Third row - three panels, first slightly more than a third, rest smaller still. Silhouette of trump throwing a paper towel roll like shooting a basketball. Dialogue “a great day…” Caption “c’mon…”. Second panel closeup on his lips, dialogue “why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Caption “really?” Third panel closeup on a coiled-style phone cord, dialogue “i would like you to do us a favor, though.” In background words from the first articles of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. Dialogue “the call with ukraine was perfect, with “no pressure.” full alt-text on my site at the link https://spinweaveandcut.com/draw-the-line/
Saying this again, he's told us who he is all along, that he's monstrous is no surprise. It's all the people who stand up and cheer him on, celebrate his know-nothing madness as genius, and his ugliness as greatness – monsters all...
I am not currently sick. I did, however, take maybe one too many over the counter sleeping pills last night to help me rest, and this morning was a cornucopia of borderline hallucinogenic dreams as I overslept. Lol
As such, rerunning this Jack kirby-inspired homage feels wildly relevant. Lol
Tatjana began her career at EC Comics in the 1950s! Adding uncredited finishes to Wally Wood stories. From 1969 on, she was one of the main colorists at DC. She hit her peak with Vertigo.
She hung it up in 2003 at age 77. She was 99 when she died.
RIP legendary colorist Tatjana Wood.
You know her work, whether you realize it or not. An important talent. Having just stumbled through a rudimentary coloring job, her astonishing work only increases in my eyes.
Spotted in Nashville, today…
“I believe the lawless fascists who are killing American citizens in broad daylight can bring peace to the Middle East by bombing children’s schools without congressional approval.”
That’s what you sound like.
what if we did 2003 again but with even stupider people in charge of everything
It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
