A comics pro is in need!
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Pineapple, I am trying to pick things up. You knocking them down and laying on them isn’t helping. But fine, you win, have the coat.
Its slump week, I feel like that is reason enough that I don’t need to the thing I don’t want to do. I’ve got a few months anyway. IhatethisIhatethisIhatethis
I’m interested, but also disappointed that Jared Leto is Skeletor.

JUST IN: The incident, which was caught on video, marks the second deadly shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis in less than a month.
Now it’s starting to feel like the holidays making cookies and watching Christmas movies.

@swynn.bsky.social I am still calling you my pusher because I’m catching up on your videos and just added a couple @stephwilliams.bsky.social books to my get list that I didn’t realize was out there.
Thank you.
8yo: Mom I have a question?
Me: Shoot.
8yo: Do you trust me to not cut off my finger?
Me: Yes…
8yo: But if I did I would just get a robot finger and everything would be fine.
Me: LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS. (She still has all 10 fingers). And no, sorry babe, you wouldn’t get a robot finger.
Well damn, full circle.
After 4 pokes, the IV is in! The nurse apologized, but I got to honestly tell him “it really is me, not you”. Difficult veins is putting it nicely. I’m just happy to get it done today and I don’t have to come back later.
Already finished it. Loved it. The story, the colors, it was all great.
I was influenced. Thanks @swynn.bsky.social 😉

That makes so much sense 😳
Since I was laid off from Vox a few weeks ago, I no longer cover public health for that outlet -- but I sure do stay in touch with my many sources at the CDC and in public health more broadly
The overwhelming msg they're getting this week is that this admin simply has no idea how anything works

ynicism is first of all a style of presenting oneself, and it takes pride more than anything in not being fooled and not being foolish. But in the forms in which I encounter it, cynicism is frequently both these things. That the attitude that prides itself on world-weary experience is often so naïve says much about the triumph of style over substance, attitude over analysis. Maybe it also says something about the tendency to oversimplify. If simplification means reducing things to their essentials, oversimplification tosses aside the essential as well. It is a relentless pursuit of certainty and clarity in a world that generally offers neither, a desire to shove nuances and complexities into clear-cut binaries. Naïve cynicism concerns me because it flattens out the past and the future, and because it reduces the motivation to participate in public life, public discourse, and even intelligent conversation that distinguishes shades of gray, ambiguities and ambivalences, uncertainties, unknowns, and opportunities. Instead, we conduct our conversations like wars, and the heavy artillery of grim confidence is the weapon many reach for.
I'm exhausted by all the people out there who are trying to prove they're each the most cynical world-weary disillusioned person who's not gonna ever do a fucking thing ever except dump on everything and expect to be admired for that. Wrote about that in 2016:
A three armed woman in a prison jumpsuit with a mullet walks in handcuffs along a metal walkway away from armed guards in futuristic, padded armour and helmets that completely hide their faces. Behind the woman the title "IT EATS PLANETS" is emblazoned in bright red. At the bottom the author's name "Samantha Mackenzie Greer" is written in red too. In the background is a landing pad with a large, well used helicopter with fumes falling from its exhaust pipe. Above them is a dark sky of green clouds though a parting reveals the void of space where a ringed gas giant is silhouetted against a red sun.
A blueish, gloomy derelict factory floor with an avalanche of garbage in the foreground and sides of the frame with a sliver of floor space guiding the eye under a concrete bridge and past heavily graffitied columns, to a large, towering machine and altar at the centre. A person in a poncho sits there, waiting beneath the collapsed ceiling where far above we can see towering pipes of extraction criss crossing to form a dark, steel sky.
A comic page. A vertical panel on the left side which depicts a mysterious person in a poncho coming down the steps of a trench and alleyway carved out of rock, covered in graffiti and with pipes criss crossing above. On the right are a panel of this person rustling under their poncho and a second panel show them looking up some small orange case with a relieved smile, held in the hand of a previously concealed third arm. A third panel shows them concealing this object, their attention drawn to something off panel.
IT EATS PLANETS is now publicly available to read!
A queer, sci-fi comic about heists, ancient evil and fighting to survive on a dying planet. New pages every Thursday.
Please kindly check it out, give it a read and share it
