I’m gonna go to bed in a few minutes, but I’m very glad that my rando arcade game posting brought any of y’all smiles

I’ve also gotten SUPER into raiden ii? Like I’ve only played it a few times but I’m in love

Every time i get mad on the internet please know id rather be talking about the 1982 arcade game JOUST by Williams Electronics

"The Pope is the puppet of the Chinese authoritatian government" is a take you would make if you made billions by drinking paint.

if The Rock was the personification of the act of crying, of tears streaming down a face

Dammit, now it seems I will have to write about how the biocomics I'm researching and writing about in my book include both annotated bibliographies and traditional work cited lists.

i think if comics publishing wants to be taken seriously, publish nonfiction, or anything involving serious research, it needs to grow up and recognize that it doesn't get to have it both ways. you can't skate by on "it's not that serious of a medium." you're throwing your cartoonists under the bus

Good riddance. 👋👋👋 www.billboard.com/pro/scooter-...

I was today years old when I learned there was an X-Files manga released in 1996 illustrated by a few different artists (Kazumi Kakizaki being one) and serialised in Monthly Shonen Captain. From what I can see, they're various season one episodes, including the pilot.

ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE EDGE

this kills me because you can't both say don't expect us to work like real historians and then ALSO imply everyone else is shitting on comics as a serious medium pick a lane a panel, even

if we want to be treated with any kind of respect or rigor as an art form we need to extend the same consideration to others! ESPECIALLY right now when ai is flattening our collective work, the devil is always in the details & proper attribution matters more than ever

the writing by hand requirement is fantastic

This song is as intense as you’d think from the title and image and holy shit youtu.be/1ZgSqHvK0-Y?...

Whenever overwatch does a kiriko skin without gloves her hands look real weird bc they just color over that part of her model with a flesh tone bc the gloves are part of her base

Hiroyuki Sanada: Emmy Award winner and certified baby slut

I have seen so many people with a lot of experience in comics being talked to like infants in defense of tillie and/or d&q Y’all really need to stop

Let's make this happen! I just backed Civil Disobedience on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/tyl...

and bringing up tillie's finances, and implying that an academic must clearly be earning so much more, is hilarious considering that, as a publisher, you can remedy that by paying more. as all publishers SHOULD do but refuse to. like you're literally part of the problem here babe

Oh so when the left talks about new parties it’s crazy but when Tucker does it…

Can we all agree that academics and comics artists make little to no money from the books they publish?

I just saw someone say that the criticism of the Walden book was is*bel f*lls all over again and WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT REOPEN THE FUCKING SCHOOLS

The d&q defense of tillie Walden seems to mostly consist of the very reasons people are annoyed????

I think a lot about how the instant he could jimin went blond again and how there is a clear before and after blonde moment after his enlistment Like being blond was part of becoming himself again

Let me not say anything but 🥚

Saw an author having to tell fans that it's extremely not okay to make AI NSFW videos of their characters/books that are then sold behind a paywall and tbh I am not SURPRISED that this is where we are but I still hate it.

These are a large part of why tutorials weren’t as prominent back then; we had the manual to read and check things

The archivists and historians who record our history are important to said history They deserve credit and also we need to be able to hold them accountable

Hey so real quick during the heat wave I've seen people recommending Liquid IV and it's good stuff! Don't have more than one of that brand in particular per day or you can end up with electrolyte toxicity. We've had people end up in the ER during camping events from it.

My new thing is watching judges stomp on sovcits

Being from the hood and finding so much of my joy and life and energy from it, this resonants I write in the voice i write bc i love where i come from, and im not trying to run from it

The ghetto is a badge of honor to white characters. From Scorsese on down creators love that ****. Pure salt of the earth! But the minute it's US? It's a scarlet letter. Something that marks us as permanently less moral. When the lack of morality is in the people who don't see us as human.

You don't have Luke Cage tell a grieving mother that he'll avenge her child after the sex work he's paid for. One, Luke Cage does not pay for sex work. LUKE IS FINE AF HARLEM *****! Two, he is a hero. And being a hero comes first.

You don't make Luke Cage good by returning his absentee father, or giving him a white wife, or giving him a suit, or having him move to the bougie part of Harlem that's gentrifying faster than the Flash. LUKE WAS GOOD FROM JUMP!

Let's start with Luke Cage. What a disservice to the character. I LOVE Luke Cage. And if you don't know how to write a character who is inherently good and from the ghetto, leave him ALONE. Because you don't respect or understand the ghetto or black people. LUKE CAGE IS INHERENTLY GOOD!

And I hate so much when non-black writers try to fix black characters from the ghetto by taking the ghetto out of them. Because it's never done to white characters. Nah, they LOVE to write about Daredevil's humble Irish beginnings even though we are light years past the Irish in NYC assimilating.

Honestly people romanticize kids playing outdoors a lot Yes it's better than sitting on tiktok all day but you can't just set them free w/o actual places to go or shit to do and then act shocked when they start dropping chunks of concrete off of an overpass

Pope : with mercy and love and deep regret, i must call this a schismatic act Half of bluesky with their shirts off and earrings out ready to brawl outside applebees : GET THEIR ASSES WOOOOO

I’m so sorry i never shut up about these things but also im very very negative about them

The punching up/down discourse is for people who laughed at disabled kids in high school, and they think they've matured because they only bully deserving targets now. The funniest shit usually isn't picking on anyone.

@ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app really be dragging the industry up to her level

Emma Frost when yet another one of her schools gets destroyed:

I haven't been explicit about it much On Here™, but I once worked for the CBLDF. That they haven't said anything about this case, or any of the others related to it, is frankly shocking. Anyway, throw him some money if you can, and please share his GoFundMe. www.gofundme.com/f/get-artist...

PSA: Using expansive vocabulary in books is not ableism.

When someone hops into the comments of one of my jokes about whatever superhero to "correct" me, it's always like oh my god you're so right, this joke would be way better if you removed the part where it's funny.

i appreciate the sentiment of "well modern gaming sucks ass so I'll play old games" but also yeah you could just play old games because they're good, y'know? i have not been doing all this ps1 bollocks this whole time as some sort of kneejerk reaction to the trends, I just like them.

shipment of these just arrived at our merch warehouse. driver was wearing one when I signed the thingy. didn't say nothing though because he looked tuff
