Thank you, Sir. #RIP #RobertRedford
Gosh, even Jamie Lee Curtis. Complete surreal.
The Lakes International Comic Art Festival (LICAF) has announced its “From Palestine” project, which includes a programming strand at its annual comics gathering in Bowness-on-Windermere later this month (26th – 28th September 2025)

Best thing you can watch tonight. To see the original pages of Domu and listen to Otomo and Urasawa Naoki is absolutely breathtaking. #Otomo #ComicSky

New research published in The Lancet finds that Western unilateral sanctions have caused 38 million deaths since 1970. The average death toll ranges from 400,000 to over 1 million per year. Staggering levels of violence. This system is intolerable and must be replaced.
Another masterpiece!

TV is hell too.
Definitely in Germany, GB and the US. Nightmarish!
That was the Guardian's headline when I wanted to check earlier what the fascists were up to in London. Completely nuts.

Some MFers don't believe me when I talk about how deeply ingrained anti-Arab sentiment is in the comic book industry. Here's the guy who made HOLY TERROR & a public Islamophobic tirade, being celebrated w/ a guy who's inferring he ACTUALLY tortured Arabs, while a 3rd giggles like a buffoon about it
Thoughts and prayers for Trashman.

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (1991) was a beautiful fantasy series based on Fritz Leiber by #HowardChaykin (script), @mikemignola.bsky.social and #AlWilliamson. I especially love the colors by Sherilyn Van Valkenburgh. She was unbelievably good. Really one of the best. #ComicSky #Fantasy

This paper shows that US sanctions against Venezuela killed more than 40,000 people in the first year, 2017-2018. The authors argue that the sanctions violate the Geneva and Hague conventions against collective punishment of civilian populations.

This is unfuckingbelievable. Surely the 500 senior citizens he had arrested for holding Palestine Action signs would like word
Great piece on De Palma’s The Untouchables by Tim. PLUS an interview with David Mamet (NO right wing nonsense, he only talks about writing) 👇 #BrianDePalma #FilmSky
Looks great! I love bookshops like this. No internet sales? How is this possible in these days??? The world is full of wonders, Bill!
You can't wash away genocide....your complicity will always remain.
Banksy made his point, amplified by media publicity. Then further amplified by the patently ridiculous attempts to quickly erase it. Its censorship became an art installation in itself - finally the cackhanded removal leaving an image redolent of the shadows splashed on the pavements of Hiroshima...
I don‘t know what my favourite scene is. The acting is so good, it‘s unbelievable.
David Lynch & Mel Brooks
Using a GIF, vid, or pic, share a great horror movie scene 🎥😱🖤
Still one of the best mini series ever made. One day I'll have glasses like old George.
Max Ernst. Absolute king. To see this one by scumbag Dalì was also amazing: bsky.app/profile/sven...

Perfect. It's always about Carmela and whether she wants to see the truth (taking the red pill) about Tony and the mob - or not. #Sopranos

I'm still proud of this piece, "[the narrative toilet]," which I made for a collaborative poetry collection written with Nathan Moore. McSweeney's even featured it on their site.
"A new Banksy has appeared outside the Royal Courts of Justice building in London. The art shows a judge hitting a protestor on the ground with his gavel. The mural comes two days after almost 900 people were arrested at a protest in London against the ban on Palestine Action."
Hahaha, Happy birthday, Peter Sellers! Hahaha, Hehehe, Huhuhu. Muahaha…

Interesting interview about #Nosferatu, #Murnau, Henrik Galeen and Albin Grau: caligaripress.com/100-Years-of...
20 years ago today I was in the Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles, thinking about all the films that used the interior as a location. Not only the famous one, the place turns up in several noir pictures as well as Cabaret Voltaire's favourite Outer Limits episode, Demon with a Glass Hand.
Hm. When it comes to the bad guys, I would say Friends of Eddie Coyle, Night of the Hunter, not to forget his breathtaking performance in Cape Fear: m.youtube.com/watch?v=aGeF...
