I actually already got a phone call from a customer so excited for this he had to ring me and let me know.

I finally decided it's time to really discuss the crazy shifts in the Comic collecting market and who better do discuss it with than @aaronmeyers.bsky.social, collector par excellence? Join us Thursday night (9pm EST). Turn on notifications so you don't miss it: youtube.com/@escapepodco...

Did a quick live tonight to announce my special guest star for Thursday's stream all to have another guest show up for an impromptu nail clipping! You read that right. www.youtube.com/live/foHTy57...

Overheard at the shop: "I mean... It was a lot more than I was intending to spend to day but if it means getting something for us both to read..." Eagerly waiting at checkout to see what they decide...

Oh, I should probably tag @comicsthemagazine.bsky.social in this... I can't get over how this magazine is. Listen to get into it at the link.

I really have a lot of fun making these. youtu.be/3e4bpiyY8-Q?...

Want to hear me rave about the new magazine on the shelves? And celebrate (hmm? Commemorate?) SIX years of livestreams? You're in luck! www.youtube.com/live/EXzgrN-...

also a crap-ton of action figures my kids don't want anymore at a bargain price: www.ebay.com/itm/18814999...

"It's a shame that you can't even trust white men to terrorize black people with you anymore. Honestly, I'd feel safer mauling darkies with the bear." --Lauren Southern

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Thanks, Chuck! You may wanna be more vocal about trans rights here on Bluesky where trans and nonbinary folks make up a big percentage of the userbase, because we don’t go on X and most of your posts here are about the economy! We will definitely try to chat with you on Saturday.

Anyway, I thought these were cute.

Who is hype for @comicsthemagazine.bsky.social?! Free with your hold list! $1 this week! Cover price resumes Sunday the 15th.

It's really hard and really important to take this stance. When visible actors in visible roles take the lead on this and shame companies for these practices they protect smaller and less-seen workers from being taken advantage of ❤️

15 new books out today! www.youtube.com/live/7rxcF4y...

The always great @comixace.bsky.social took my sales charts straw poll from ComicsPRO and ran with it, and while I do want to say Heidi and I do not "argue" about them (it's more a discussion!), this is a great piece digging into an important topic behind the scenes in comics.

I like to jump on trends occasionally...

I hope to restock the whole run when we get the new issue in

Battle Ground, WA is refusing to give a teacher her job back, ignoring a judge's orders. The teacher was fired after a student made up a story that she'd called Charlie Kirk. Has watching ICE convinced MAGA that they don't need to obey judges' orders, either? www.kgw.com/article/news...

Catching strays at ECCC

Parade day is always a little packed, and there's always someone who forgets it's happening, so... A reminder.

Next: "Wilson imagined a world without war. FDR imagined a world without fear or want. Today’s political class imagines nothing." 3/4

Still dropping the ball on having 3 lives a week, but at least I made this second one of the week nice and long this time! www.youtube.com/live/dwkCHe4...

Next episode of our show we totally stole from an instagrammer. youtu.be/ndMrVxdyunM?...

Politicians and journalists on X keep referencing right-wing obscurities as major political issues, and keep framing major political issues of the day from a right-wing perspective. Getting your perspective from X is even worse and is more misleading than mindlessly following polling numbers.

i don't know how to teach people to be more curious but i think that's what we desperately need

We're going to be opening about 20 minutes late. Partly because of this one, so... Enjoy some curls.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*. In March. Imagine November. I broke it down here: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Shouldn't the teens in the second Jumanji movie never have gone in, since the 90s dude was the one who started it? Based on the first movie, yknow? Since Alan never disappeared, the kids never played the game shouldn't it be the same? Asking the big questions here.

Covid is going around a group I'm involved with, and guess what I'm learning? The copay for Paxlovid is super high for some insurance ($1K) and not covered by others. America: so great!!! 😷😷😷 PS The folks I know who are sick are vaxxed & regular mask wearers. Prevention is great, but SO ARE MEDS.

I think the Republicans being pro-gets-no-bitches is why they have a bunch of losers who get no bitches.

GOOD. Primary the hell out of all the collaborators.

I shouldn't post this... Like.. It's such a rude and dumb take. It's kinda mean and it doesn't actually do anything to help the issue I point out... But it bothers me so so so much! But I simply can't contribute to complaining about totally inconsequential garbage!! BUT

Do we get to hold all Christians accountable for this? Do opinion writers for big newspapers get to accost nuns on the street and demand "what are you doing to fix this?" Do we get to picket churches on Sundays? Also no?

Please remember that we will be celebrating the birth of a new comic reader in NJ this morning (and Purim!) and will be opening late.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

Get ready for The Spring of Galaxy & Dreamer! April 29: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERGALACTIC, by me, @nicoleamaines.bsky.social. Travis Moore & @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social! May 5: Teenage Galaxy & Dreamer in GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN by me, @ryehickman.bsky.social & @longtalljodie.com!

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

that's a big oopsie-doopsie on my part, and i apologize qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Yesterday was our second busiest day of the year, and the busiest that wasn't a sale! Hear all about it: www.youtube.com/live/AIESmCq...

*Tremendously* happy that I got to come on @xplainthexmen.bsky.social to talk about Magneto. I think it ended up being a very interesting discussion

So true.

Today on SOLRAD, Hagai Palevsky reviews BASKET by Marie Derambure and Paco Moccand, published by Lucky Pocket Press @dialhforhagai.bsky.social solrad.co/little-to-be...

If you adore the book about a dystopian future where entertainment has replaced information, why not buy a very expensive statue based on it? Yeah, yeah... That sounds right.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

By far my favorite thing about having a weekly video is getting to make these ridiculous cut up Reels out of them...

What made lyft drivers stop playing music? The last few months I feel like almost every ride I've gotten had just been some total silent weird little drive. Not saying I loved every musical choice I've experienced but the lack of noise is sooooo weird.... Anyone? Is it a policy?
