If you see this, post a Star Trek.

My first graphic novel as publisher, Salvation’s Child, is out next week! And here’s the opening plus an interview with writer @aptshadow.bsky.social ! www.polygon.com/salvations-c...

Katie Phang visits the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, an exhibition that displays the 3,437 volumes of The Epstein Files. “Each of them weighs about 5 lb. … 3.5 million files bound into 800-page volumes. Altogether, it weighs about 17,000 lb.”

May the Fourth be with you! Here's the first Mandalorian "TV show" - THE JEDI HUNTER was our first winner in the 2003 Atomfilm/Lucasfilm Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards, and in 2010, it was named by TIME magazine as one of the top 10 Star Wars fanfilms ever made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ffe...

A wholesome story for nerds: On Saturday, I was signing books at a local bookstore for Independent Bookstore Day. The store had a signing-palooza with new authors every hour; toward the end of my hour, a woman came up and asked what my book was about. "Dictionaries," I said, and she lit up. 1/n

I see #nuggets trending, but not for what I associate the term with...

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

The attack on education in the US is not new, but the slow fuse that arguably started with Reagan is now setting off detonations across K-12 and higher education that are going to be incredibly difficult to walk back if we don’t treat this like the urgent crisis it is.

Repost with your first crush....

Some Superman covers I remember having from the 60s when I pretty much had every issue with 12 cents on the cover. What was nice about the Giants was they included reprints from 1950s comics. I wish DC Universe Infinite had more of the silver age comics online. #SupermanDay

Today is Superman Day. Each prime number of likes = 1 great Superman comic cover

We all celebrate Superman Day differently, Krypto's eating treats, Supergirl is off on an adventure, and Superman is...hanging out with Lex?

Here's a somewhat obscure one about an airport... youtu.be/h4aQv60apvs?...

There's lots, especially where the song stops for a second, the resumes. Badfinger's No Matter What, Bowie's "Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am!" In Suffragette City.

Splashdown! Welcome home, Integrity.

I guess I should be no longer upset that Alamo Drafthouse left the Phoenix valley several years ago. Majestic Theaters took over the locations, but since I moved to the far west valley, I've not actually been in one of them.

This series written by Gene Luen Yang and drawn by Gurihiru is worth taking a look at. My copy I got signed by Gene a couple of years ago when he was a guest at our local comic convention.

oooh. A humble bundle of 29 of my anthologies which benefits Active Minds, a non-profit that uses sports and physical activity to help teens and tweens with mental and emotional health issues. www.humblebundle.com/books/best-e...

When I see sitting members of Congress say "The Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment" what I hear is "Someone else - not me - should throw their bodies in front of this to stop it." Call for impeachment and if you can't get that done make sure everyone knows who to blame!

None of these propagandist cowards even have the tits to stick up for their own convictions. They aren't smart, they aren't clever, they aren't original, they aren't brave, they aren't even interesting. They don't have any imagination. They just want to be Popular.

"No," the swordmaster said. "One does not refuse the king," the herald said. "I do. I will not train his soldiers or officers, I will not tell my students to join his army, I will not support his unjust war." "You will regret this!" "No," the swordmaster said.

Year of the Mer shares a release date today with 76+ other SFF titles! Congrats to all the authors celebrating a book day, and to all the readers who almost certainly have something new in the world that fits you just right. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Year-o... titanbooks.com/72438-year-o...

Republicans are asking a North Carolina court to approve a settlement that would expand how the state flags and removes suspected noncitizens from voter rolls — creating a new system that could send voters to law enforcement and make sensitive data public. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I know this and you know this and we all know this but sometimes you gotta say the obvious thing out loud (so to speak) just so you don’t feel alone or crazy: our president is a deeply unwell and utterly vile man who shouldn’t be in charge of driving a golf cart much less the free world.

It has come to my attention that not all of you are aware that this exists. So, here it is. It exists. Dozens of channels of randomized music videos and bumpers. Choose your era and return to your childhood. Bookmark it for when you need to escape back. wantmymtv.vercel.app/player.html

It should make Republicans *very* nervous to compare the listless unattendance of conservatives at CPAC this week with the enthusiastic, overwhelming attendance of liberals at #NoKings events a day later.

They are proud of what they are doing. They must be stopped.
