"War ravaged Portland," but no one in authority can declare he might be unfit for office and not competent to continue his duties?

I like to think while Saionji's coffin of self-protection should be Presumption, it's called Assumption because the perfect classical Japanese youth this teenaged Yukio Mishima is the Mary and while the rest of us have to die to get to Paradise eventually God will just yank Saio up there whole-body.

Imagine you’re walking fown the sidewalk when suddenly, out of nowhere you inexplicably get your legs broken by a random and completely errant marble slab gone haywire lol

Shaggy Rogers is canonically from a monied family and he inherits some expensive properties here and there. I dunno that just feels important the more rich people style themselves like this.

"Was Margaret Thatcher a feminist?" [Times] Written by anti-trans activist Sarah Ditum.

You know how when a fair weather friend gets hacked online and their accounts are wonky but you think for longer than you should that they're doing a shtick? Like the jokes are just too esoteric for you but you're going along? Dealing with anyone close to you when they have a tbi or mental illness.

I really stand by Heroes Reborn, but also Avengers (Simonson's run saves it, but it was always fun) and HR Cap, who just launches into smashing modern American Nazis. Never quite get on with James Robinson's short Cap stint, but even then.

By the time Hell High was released some of the cast had already died of AIDS.

"Perfect for fans of Fables, Sandman, Elfquest, and A Game of Thrones," is a genuinely funny way to recommend Michael Moorcock. It's also just a funny list.

The Girls Revolution Utena manga is frequently dismissed as its lessest form, but even haters ought to admit the "Mister Lickylick" stuff from the prologue is horrendously creepy once you *know*.

The kids left me and the animals on our lonesome, so tucking in like a proper old for 1980's The Hearse. I can't believe Mori Kawa shot this & nothing else, because this is a polished cinematographer. Roger Ebert's critique was misogynist & Janet Maslin backhand insults it but admits it's unique.

Who Wants to Kill Jessie? is a 1966 movie about a comic book character brought to life, inadvertently infecting the real world which the accoutrements of her reality, word balloons. sound effects, etc.

Girl on a Broomstick time!

Me, too. Me, as well.

Mark Gruenwald & Pat Broderick's The Return of Spider-Woman, afaik never reprinted, abruptly establishes Jessica Drew is missing, Lindsay McCabe is meeting with Shadowoman to find her, the current Spider-Woman is being haunted by Jess' costume & wig, they find her, "to be continued." It never is.

I love when people just make up the most unsupportable theories about history, like "people invented smiling in 1879" or "stories don't have anyone showing emotion until 1843." "No one in the Iliad knew about water because Greece hadn't yet experienced wet." "JK Rowling invented trains."

Watching Time Tunnel and having some spiced chocolate pinon coffee (birthday isn't over until you say it is), and thinking about TV shows that could have been so much more, or could be again. So, if you could remake a show and do it right, what show would you pick? (Image from Wildfire, cause well–)

On this day in Horror History, CARNIVAL OF SOULS was released in 1962.

Wolf Schmid suggests fictive worlds are actually constructed of narrator & narratee obscured by our trust & reliance on self-reflexive genre gags. When a narrative voice is logically wrong, we tend to accept what it says over our sense of its wrongness. Narrative is realer than external reasoning.

Ring of the Ghost Phone A real life ghost story. Last night my phone was ringing, but we don't have a phone! The landline is cancelled and totally disconnected. Dun-dun-DUN. www.patreon.com/posts/ring-o...

Ordered family dinner from a local place and they threw in free egg drop soup and ji bao gai. 🥰

From a writer/director whose made nothing else, comes a horror movie they can only advertise by sharing a producer with A Knight's Tale (woo!) and the live action Dragonball (ouch), featuring Eastern European actors performing in English without seeming to understand it. Really pretty, though.

It's a Witchouse 2 day. Years back, watching this day after my birthday, I mentioned online how much I love this series and a friend DMed me that he was with Ariauna Albright by chance did I want to say hi & sure enough, live and exhausted from their hotel, Ariauna & Brinke Stevens Skyped for a bit.

Birthday present buyers, natch I love anything and everything (greedy like that), but here is the Amazon wishlist if it makes it easier. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

"Oliver Queen is queeny. He is viragint in inverted commas. His longest term romances are the leather and bikes wigged and dragged Black Canary and the wandering boho dreamer too honest for his own good, Green Lantern. "The distaff Green Arrow is the Green Arrow."

Airbats is military propaganda, but the episode where the one guy keeps playing an ethnic cartoon to amuse and flatter white Americans is so unfortunately dead on.

It's impossible to overestimate how hard many people will climb over the bodies of their brutalized loved ones to kiss a boot in the hopes it won't kick them.

DC reinvented Green Arrow as a positivist captalism techbro in the vein of every asshole responsible for AI right now. They gave him armor. They took any adult relationships. From this, Dan Jurgens, Ann Nocenti, Keith Giffen, Rob Tolibao, et al made a comic of ideas prodding us to question humanity.

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

Thinking about Andy Warhol spending a good part of the mid-60s believing Robert Redford was in The Carpetbaggers and praising him up and down to people who were always confused, before finding out near the end of the decade that neither of the men he thought was Robert Redford were.

I have a lot of questions about Evangelion, but the biggest is why was Wille building a fleet of Iowa class battleships to yeet at things

picturing the type of guy playing the first 5 minutes of this game and crying Silent Hill has Gone Woke !?!??!! [guy hasnt played any other silent hill game]

Yep, this is exactly what I'd have expected. Great article from Ken.

Starting back up the religious movement of Denver the Last Dinosaur.

Most ‘working class’ ancient Romans lived in tiny apartments which were basically just a place to sleep. They ate takeout from local vendors! If you were rich enough to have a dedicated kitchen, you were rich enough to have your own cook.

You can tell this is old because their fastfood is in those styrofoam containers.

Plastic Oliver, Plastic Queen is a forced femme joke wrapped in accusation of capitalist tech-bro society. It also begs questions like how much makeup we think Black Canary wears or doesn't and what it means to have an Ollie, today, without Canary, Roy, or Hal.

Gwan, Broccolis and Bezzers, give me the rights and the money and let me rerelease Another Country as a James Bond origin story.

Read Us Living in Fictional Cosmogonies. I'll remind you that Star Trek is full of charming bigots, everyone from Wings is queer, Queen Emeraldas tells the slave trade to hang themselves and Prince has never been in a bad movie.

This is the opening freeze frame of a horror movie.

Shouldn’t it at least be “fuck ICE”
