- I get my news from a reliable source.
- Never made it past Pogoburgh myself.
- Look. I'm not trying to kink-shame, but dude - maybe don't use the "cosplay" hashtag if the only thing you're wearing is a fox-eared gimp mask as you proudly show off your prolapse. Sure, technically it's a "costume" and you're clearly engaged in "play." But calling it cosplay is a ... stretch.
- It was back on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2019, at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social that I took this photo of @spreenoel.bsky.social as Gwenpool. #gwenpool #gwenpoolcosplay #newyorkcomiccon #cosplayphotography

- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026How did I not know this? I didn't know AEW wrestler Brody King is doing a fundraiser for Mpls families affected by ICE. By selling variant comics covers. With comics artist Daniel Warren Johnson. Who is a fellow Chicagoan? And has raised $58K so far and is still going! headlockedcomic.bigcartel.com
- Brody King, who's in the main event of #AEWDynamite, fighting MJF for a shot at the AEW Men's World Championship, has just raised $58,000 for people affected by ICE in Minneapolis. Earlier, he raised over $35K for families affected by ICE in Los Angeles FUCK ICE CHANTS ON #AEWDYNAMITE FUCK YES
- Hey GOP, if you've lost wrestling fans, you might as well just pack it in. #fuckICE
- Willy Shakes knew what was what about immigration. Also, Ian McKellen is a god.
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Exactly. I said this 46 years ago about "trickle-down economics." Like Soviet-style communism it is entirely dependent on the benevolence of the few in power. It took two generations of rich pedophiles saying, "how can we make it so we are never held accountable like Watergate again?" to get here.
- I look forward to the deep dives into his background and finding out he isn't another Platner. Currently I am cautiously hopeful.
- Bouncing back to Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018, at Rhode Island Comic Con, when I took this photo of @chantelantoinette.bsky.social as Power Girl in the classic "eyes up here" pose. #powergirl #powergirlcosplay #rhodeislandcomiccon #cosplayphotography
- This is excellent news. The profit motive just killed the game Ashes of Creation. Aversion to the truth is killing the Washington Post and CBS News. Neither of those things will be a factor in the success or not of Complexly going forward, and that is, again, excellent news.
- But now we have gone from owning 100% to owning 0% because, for the last month, Complexly has been a non-profit organization. apnews.com/article/john...
- With apologies to Spose: "We got Susan Collins giving everybody pain."
- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026BREAKING: Rep Ted Lieu just called for Deputy AG Todd Blanche’s resignation, and points out why partying with Epstein actually would be illegal.
- I'm not a lawyer, but isn't killing via willful ignorance manslaughter in most states? These farm owners should be in prison. (Also, don't click the link - I just saw it was CBS "News." Do a search and find a better source.)
- This shit has consequences. It’s not a game. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/new...

- Clots and scares.
- Back to Friday, April 3, 2015, at @animeboston.bsky.social with what may be the 1st ever photo I took of @dawndaniels.bsky.social, here as bunny Jinx from League of Legends. #jinxcosplay #leaguecosplay #animeboston #cosplayphotography
- A long but very good breakdown of the problems with "AI"-generated music (and anything) by @adamneely.bsky.social. My 1st observation: "Prompt engineering" is the "skill" to tell something to do what you can't or won't. The same as being a really clear slave master. #fuckAI youtu.be/U8dcFhF0Dlk

- Throw him in prison. Seize all of his assets, shut down all of his fraudulent companies and operations. Refuse to allow any foreign entity that invested in them to ever do business in the US again. #impeachTrump
- In the days before the presidential inauguration, an Emirati sheikh paid $187 million to entities controlled by Donald Trump’s family to take a major stake in one of the president’s crypto companies, World Liberty Financial. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
- Today I'm jumping back to Sunday, Nov. 2, 2014, at Rhode Island Comic Con, when I took this photo of @nicolemariejean.bsky.social as the Autumn version of Poison Ivy. #poisonivycosplay #rhodeislandcomiccon #poisonivy #cosplayphotography
- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026Billie Eilish criticising ICE at the Grammys, "No one is illegal on stolen land" "It's really hard to know what to say and what to do right now" "I feel really hopeful in this room" "We need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting" "Our voices do matter" "The people matter"
- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.
- This is awesome. Also, if Marvel doesn't set up Liam with free merch for life, somebody on its marketing team is making the wrong call.
- Friends, we're thrilled to announce #Comics4Liam to encourage artists to draw pictures for Liam Conejo Ramos and share links to help Liam's family and other immigrants persecuted by ICE! Check out comics4liam.com and please do feel free to pitch in! Images by the great @trungles.com!
- Stepping forward one day to Sun., Sept. 1, 2013, and this photo from @dragoncon.org of @yayahan.bsky.social as the Phoenix Force Dark Phoenix version of Jean Gray. #darkphoenixcosplay #jeangray #phoenixforcecosplay #dragoncon #cosplayphotography

- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.
- So far, these new Epstein documents have identified these billionaires as needing to be in prison for life after chemical castration: Richard Branson Elon Musk Bill Gates
- Disgusting. In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.

- I am 1.2 episodes into the new Wonder Man show on Disney+ and already I can say it is a goddamn well-made show with absolutely top-tier performances by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley. Review tomorrow, but don't let the Spotlight tag or binge release turn you away. #wonderman

- I think there is way too much reluctance in this country (and definitely among Congress) to impeach. Lie about someone and incite violence? Impeach. Take a free jet from a foreign country? Impeach. All presidents. Clinton should have been convicted. Better government through impeachment.
- Do it the hard way, Jeffries. We need everyone to see that trial. #impeachNoem
- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026BREAKING: Local prosecutors around U.S. join forces to charge law-breaking federal agents Fight Against Federal Overreach — dubbed “FAFO” — includes prosecutors from Minneapolis, Philly, Austin, and other cities. Press conference set for 11am ET: federaloverreach.org/announcement
- Nailed it. Very shortened joke about Mainers' xenophobia: Teenager claims to be a Mainer. Old-timer says "No, your parents were from away." Teenager: "But I was born in Maine." Old-timer: "If your cat had kittens in the oven, you wouldn't call them biscuits."

- Pets(dot)com bursts into the room from 2000. "See? We weren't wrong, it was society that failed us!"
- OK, it's even prettier in the sun. Still sucks.
- Getting that Nuremberg trial defense in place already, I see. Good luck with that. (Time for me to buy stock in ropemaker companies.)

- Homan, who devised the immigration camps that separated families, is not someone to hang your hopes for change on. Different evil is still evil.

- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026She took a half step back and then stepped AT this dude. ICE needs 30 masked guys each with their own body armor and assault rifle to even approach this level of courage.
- Reposted by Rodney Brown @ PAX East 2026While I'm amazed & grateful that MN is showing up for their Twin Cities, #Maine is suffering due to the nation zeroing in on one location. They are taking advantage of that & Maine's small population. Children have been taken here, and there's been nothing in the national media. We need help.
