The past few years I started to finally deal with the trauma I experienced as a child from my parents & then as a minor being groomed, sexually assaulted & then stalked by a female adult. No adults helped me with the latter. Last year I started planning a graphic memoir. Here are thumbnail sketches.

@moneypowerpolitics.bsky.social -I hope Stephanie feels better soon. Her cough was quite consistent today.

somehow, the niche golf course case I became obsessed with last winter developed into a national news story! here's my opus on how that happened, for @lawfaremedia.org: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/how-...

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

NEW: Judge Reyes grants the preliminary injunction to stop Trump from "damaging" any more trees at East Potomac Golf Course. www.courtlistener.com/docket/72278...

BREAKING: the 9th Circuit REJECTED the DOJ’s desperate attempt to prevent 20,000 votes from being counted in CA Tomorrow, @democracydefendersfund.org @campaignlegal.org NAACP & @lulacorg.bsky.social address the merits head-on in District Court This is a major win for voters in CA & everywhere! -TN

1. Great work by the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign. Just eight days before the election, instead of grilling Amy Acton about her policy positions or her record,

2. they’re asking her about the well-documented abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother and her mother’s partner, a topic that has understandably generated sympathy for Acton. Super strategic!

JD Vance tries to say Kansas but it comes out "Sexus"

HUGE, GOOD NEWS: In total reversal from Friday’s stonewalling, perjury-flirting “status report,” ICE now says it has secured a one-way travel document so Ahmed Soliman can return to the US via a commercial flight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This October I have been watching the Dan Curtis "Dark Shadows". Yesterday I got to the August 11, 1967 episode which was the first in color. I watched it as a kid when I went to my friend's house and then had nightmares. My mother told me to stop watching. I never did.

Rest in peace, Walter Koenig. I had the honor of sitting beside Walter during a banquet celebrating Star Trek's 30th anniversary. Inside Space Camp of all places. He was wry, darkly funny, not quick to laugh or smile but it lit you up when it happened. An unforgettable evening.

@marcelias.bsky.social : “Mr. Blanche... we have beaten you and your team in court like a drum. So I hope you don't do what you are threatening or insinuating you might do. But if you do, I will see you in those courtrooms. I will win. And then I will dance on your head for those victories.”

Oh great an article about how to stay healthy when traveling… with zero mentions of wearing a mask. Public health is a joke.

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

New research involving 378 hospitalised COVID-19 patients found that elevated levels of IL-6, an inflammatory signalling molecule, and neutrophils together in a blood test identified patients with a 14-fold higher risk of death. The test could improve risk prediction, but further research is needed.

yeeeeeeesh

A lot of the comments on this petition go pretty hard.

Not just “Catholic” high school: Jesuit High School. The Jebbies don’t fuck around, and they teach right from wrong, as I know* Vivek must have cut a lot of classes. *SICP ‘80 graduate. @jclillig2.bsky.social

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

JUST IN: Maurene Comey's firing by DOJ was illegal and she must be orders retroactively reinstated w back pay, a judge rules. "To accept Defendants’ argument would be to unsettle the very equilibrium established by this Nation’s constitutional system" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Heartbreaking news on Instagram. #RIP

Trump’s entire candidacy for president was based on Obama being a black president. The GOP has been campaigning exclusively on bigotry since 2016.

The latest Truth Social post from the president of the United States.

Watched Clayface (2026); don't fuss over the comics connection and just think of it as a mainstream horror movie. Tonally--not that different from Cronenberg's The Fly. Thumbs up.

I had an incredible weekend in Wisconsin at 4 events for my novel, Stitched, which has continued to be a national best seller since its release last month. This has truly been a surreal time for me and I'm so grateful.

Art Spiegelman using AI because - in his own words - he felt too lazy to create something new using his own skills. I don’t think I can even process that. (Below: Self-Portrait with Maus Mask, by Art Spiegelman, 1989.)

We can feel what Brazil and Serbia are feeling. It’s in our hands.

A Swedish study of over 1.2 million adults found that non-hospitalised people with diagnosed long COVID had a 14% higher risk of developing high blood pressure than those without long COVID. Researchers highlight the importance of cardiovascular follow-up and regular blood pressure monitoring.

I don’t have to imagine it, because we are getting one. It will be an animated show produced by Tom King and Mitch Gerads, set in Gunn’s DCU and based on their 2017 series. Josh Hutcherson and Mackenzie Davis will star as Scott and Barda. #ngl

So I dug #Clayface. It’s a schlocky gross out revenge movie, but I was entertained the whole time. I think this succeeds in a way the “Spider-Man villains movies without Spider-Man in them” don’t, because while Matt Hagen is kinda sympathetic, he’s still basically a POS and a villain, not a hero

Serbia defeated a 14 year regime backed by Putin. Brazil stopped a takeover supported by the richest techno-oligarchs on the planet and meddling by the American government. Hungary finally ousted Viktor Orbán earlier this year. They did it by voting. Never tell me voting is useless.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Protest works. Organization is decisive. Draw your own conclusions. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

idk about the cheesecake factory but i’m a big fan of the beefcake factory

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Horror comics of yesterday 😨💬💥🩸☠️ #comicsky #horrorsky

Two days this week we had two different sets of friends visiting. Each time we took them to Beard and Belly, which has covered outdoor seating and heaters. Friday I had fish Fry. Yesterday had brunch. Both days we shared pie slices.

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.
