hi, the clone wars was a good show. i'm very excited that i get to follow up the series finale of the clone wars with the series premiere of the bad batch, one of the best hours of star wars ever made. i hope the rest of the bad batch isn't so underwhelming this time around, but this combo rules.

hi i've been watching through the star wars franchise in order to catch up with some stuff i haven't finished, and good god the clone wars continues to be the best thing to happen to the prequel era

the way people get made at the ultramarines getting an upgrade sprue, you'd think mr. james workshop had personally snuck into their houses and painted everything blue

hey remember when the jedi order smuggled rocket launchers to the mujahideen

hrm. geneseed.

you guys were getting raptured?

I’ve been learning woodworking and I feel like it’s accidentally shown up in this tiger. Tigergrain. Woodstriped.

You can still buy all their work. Being a rude, abrasive loudmouth while trans is the only unforgivable sin to these people.

were to be around him at any time for any reason due to his habitual sexual harassment and assaults. Frank Miller released one of the most savagely Islamophobic comics of all time, HOLY TERROR, and still works with DC. There are pedophiles, war criminals, confessed sexual predators on staff.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

one of the wildest things about rewatching the clone wars (2008-2020) immediately after rewatching the prequels is how the separatists go from a functionally useless "bad guy" that has little to no actual on-screen ideology and exists purely as an excuse for the clone wars to happen in-universe...

hi, you should be reading ORLA!

this idea that the news media has any moral or professional obligation to the truth and/or justice is the great lie told by the media to the public in order to furnish its singular and only goal: to sell the news for profit

And the giant elephant in the room is how these nerdy niche subcultures have quietly become the loci for such radicalization in because the folks who examine these sorts of societal shifts have been as susceptible as any to dismiss the legitimate reach and impact those "childish" subcultures have.

i'm immediately enamored with this. "i found this manuscript in a bog," as per gray's poor things, justified sinner and house of leaves, is my favourite literary trope and to see it employed in the ttrpg space to engage with the design philosophy and language of the earliest games is delightful

This game is lovely. I would love to live in a world where Crypt was in fact the first roleplaying game. The combat system is elegant. Also: "You can only imagine a load of wargamers trying to parse how romanticism fits into a game like this. You can’t stab someone with romanticism."

idk man i think it's pretty easy to have the kind of computer madness that's actually fine to have if you aren't already a white supremacist cunt

i can’t believe bluesky would ban people for this. not bluesky, the web site that allowed users to register slurs as usernames. not that one. not the web site that bans trans people for being a little rude in the face of dehumanization. who bans palestinians begging for their lives. not that one

lotta people are up in arms about having to know what a groyper is but the fact that these communities of nazis are right there but we refuse to recognise them is exactly why they're able to spread their ideologies and enact such violence, it's an intentional ignorance that allows them to fester

insane to me that lucas took three films to build to anakin and obi-wan's duel on mustafar and instead of letting them actually talk to each other, he keeps cutting to the goofiest fucking shit happening between yoda and palpatine

the fun thing about star wars: clone wars (the tartakovsky cartoon) is that it's pretty much the only piece of prequel era media in which the jedi, including guys like kit fisto who ostensibly amount to background extras in the movie, actually do cool shit and seem like the heroic figures of myth

i've been watching fan-edited "extended editions" of the prequels that attempt to reintegrate the various deleted scenes back into the movies, and having actually seeing the full version of anakin and padme going to naboo to meet her parents edited into the movie, i'm convinced a robot directed aotc

who could have seen this coming

The irony of sucking up to real white nationalists while hitting ones made of paper

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

wow this is the first time something i've posted here has done numbers like this without me having to talk shit about aew

i know you guys probably know this, but god the phantom menace sucks

haha wow i just got the best possible comic news, wow

Some Earthsea sketches

In his last moments Charlie Kirk was fomenting antitrans violence and antiblack sentiments. If you're mourning him and you're cis, I know you value a cis life over the trans lives he ruined. If you're mourning him and you're white, I know you value a white life over the black lives he ruined.

they're such huge advocates for the right to bear arms until those arms are brought to bear upon them

I would really love to make more comics with friends, especially like 1 to 3 page scripts. do I have any friends? do you have any scripts

Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) Episode 43 - Escape 14:24.447

DC Comics’ PRIDE specials have been so terrific, showcasing queer artists and characters in PG-rated fare for younger audiences, one almost forgets that their fare for older queer readers is totally gutless 😡

i can only sincerely hope that any comic book editor or publisher worth their salt is willing to reach out to gretchen to capitalise on her sudden increase in free time i would love to see gretchen write an original work in comics

"Degradation" and "fantasy" are so vague, but to see cat ears and fairies specifically mentioned let's me know they intend to be extremely broad with how they interpret it. This is "degenerate art" levels of censorship. We need ppl to start calling in the numbers we had a month ago about this

Being informed that DC has cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin's work to appease the whiners of the world. Should be a reminder for folks as to what Corporate IP comics actually are, because ppl forget and act like these enterprises are progressive to justify their consumption.

hmm and yet eddie berganza had a job at the head of the superman editorial office for Years after allegations of him being a predator were publicly known. and scott lobdell couldn't get enough work during the 2010s. and max landis kept getting gigs handed to him on a plate. and ethan van sciver. and

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials. My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

last posts: I don't care if you don't like porn and never interact with porn, it doesn't change the fact that you have to care about it if you want your own freedom of speech protected

i don't know if you know this, but comics are pretty cool. after spending most of this year reading every modern punisher comic, i've had a bit of a bug to get back into reading comics on my own terms, something i've struggled with for years.

i'm finishing ip the x-files (the main run, at least, i'm finishing the ninth season) and, wow, i've never seen a show that got so good get this bad before

what fascinates me most about what's happening in the world right now is trying to parse who in power actually truly believe in the fascist, totalitarian, white supremacist ideologies they spout and act upon and who just simply think that it seems "cool" to do so

this is super interesting. as i prep to start drafting the rules for LIBERATION, i've been critically reading and annotating a variety of games for inspiration and research, and have come to very similar conclusions. obviously, closely reading a rulebook is nowhere near what playing it is like, but

what a wonderful time to be at the seaside with @axehandle.bsky.social

man of tomorrow (2027), the sequel to superman (2025), but somehow entirely unrelated to the suspiciously named man of steel (2013)
