Some sketchbook doodles leading up to the cartoon below. Sadly there was no space for Kate Bush in the final artwork. #wutheringheights

Two political campaign signs for Republican congressional candidates are displayed outdoors in Texas. A smaller sign between them reads EPSTEIN APPROVED. A CVS Pharmacy sign is visible in the background.

I think RFK Jr. probably snorted cocaine off of a toilet seat as recently as 2 PM.

The "Archie" newspaper strip first appeared 80 years ago, on February 4, 1946. (Those of you who are connected with me on social media know that I’ve been serializing this strip, which started out very strong, from its debut. We’re now into early 1949.) Here’s the first week of dailies:

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

β€œAs grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes.

Right?

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Elliot Ness' tombstone is in Cleveland's Lakeview Cemetery, following his instructions. Right next to Harvey Pekar's! He died in 1957, broke and suffering from alcoholism (the irony!).

I walk past it often while on weekly strolls. There are usually small booze bottles left on it.

Don Lemon arrested by federal authorities after protest at Minnesota church service Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a Friday post on X that Lemon was arrested alongside three others "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."

FOUR journalists were arrested. Proving again that this administration isn’t β€œpivoting” or β€œturning down the temperature.” By targeting independent journalists instead of the murderers of Pretti and Good, this is ramping up. Not winding down. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Cleveland is emerging as a potential filming hub for "Man of Tomorrow", which releases July 9, 2027. The city could host major production once again after an Ohio tax credit application was filed under the working title "Exodus".

Private Autopsy Shows Renee Good Was Shot at Least 3 Times, Lawyers Say

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

Law firm representing Renee Good's family releases findings from independent autopsy

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE

The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast

The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side

He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot

That’s murder

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
