The same way human beings stick googly eyes on objects and then develop an emotional attachment. The same way children love their stuffed animals. The same way readers make room in their hearts for imaginary people by reading their adventures by way of lines on paper. We are primed to do this!!!

I'm like 90% sure that's an innocent typo. 85%

Charlotte Hanlon is the character find of 2025.

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

• “I didn’t watch it, but TikTok told me it’s problematic.” • “I didn’t read it, but here’s my take based on screenshots.” • “I didn’t follow the narrative, but I saw a gifset and that’s enough.” • “I don’t understand the plot, therefore the writing is bad.”

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If the technology was good, they wouldn't have to work so hard to convince you. And they DEFINITELY wouldn't have to FORCE it on you.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

I named my fists Rosencrantz and Guildenstern because nobody can tell them apart, and whether they mean to or not, they’re trying to get me killed.

That final sentence is a civilization killer. Resistance to women's suffrage, the civil rights movement, Irish and Indian independence, and so on is predicated on a baseless fear that the moment "they" attain political and economic power, "they" will treat "us" as shittily as "we" treated "them".

seriously though if they can identify varieties for us at the supermarket when it's, like, apples, why can't they do it for potatoes? i would totally become a Potato Guy if given the chance

I had major surgery in April and I saw doctors 10% of the time. Otherwise it was all nurses, and they were as essential as water. they're professionals, period.

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

It's always about the money. Always, always, always. Because we were dumb enough to put broken people in charge, desperate to fix the holes in their souls with money.

our media is so obsessed with the five famous assholes who unapologetically fucked up instead of all the people who didn't what about everyone who doesn't "need" a second chance because they didn't expose themselves or assault anyone or move a former student into their house right after graduation?

This is fascinating, you could do worse than reading this article

Current financial discourse taking me back to the early 2000's where everyone was going on about how people in their twenties were idiots for not saving properly and me and my friends were all, yes, sorry, we keep meaning to do something with all SPARE MONEY WE HAVE JUST LYING AROUND DOING NOTHING.

If we're starting "what is a Christmas movie" discourse early this year, I will tap the sign

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

not beating the “AI art is lazy” allegations

The meanest thought I ever had about a baby was “oh no, he looks like John Byrne drew him”

i swear this old tweet will be my legacy

Pirating is sending the message that a thing is so vital that you cannot possibly survive without the thing. That you would resort to stealing just to have the thing. If the art was of poor quality for the price demanded, you would just stop engaging with it. You'd seek art elsewhere.

Stop making up reasons why pirating comics is good. It’s not good. Spend a few dollars and buy a book. Quit being a fuckin parasite

100% accurate. 😆

LET THE PAST DIE, anyway Rey swiped the books because she realized that the sad old man isn't right about everything and Luke gets a last pep talk from Kermit the Frog and reaches Force Enlightenment by by projecting his soul halfway across the galaxy to troll his nephew.

lone wolves: "I am the sole centurion holding back the tides of chaos, I have no ties holding me down and want for nothing." Actual Wolves: "If I have to be away from my family for more than 30 seconds I'm gonna be super cowa-bummed-out"

okay this just fuckin bodied me

“Why is RFK Jr so convinced he’s right?” Because he’s a child of extreme privilege, turbocharged by a fucked up family who indulged and excused his worst behaviors instead of seeing he got the help he needed to treat his deep seated trauma. All the drugs he’s done haven’t helped him either.

"You'll be visited by three spirits." The three spirits:

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Yep. “Separating the art and the artist” and “Death of the author” are both ways to approach art critically, but they’re different ways.

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

You could have taken your hand out of that cuff at ANY TIME, Charlie Brown?

Now go get yer fuckin' shine box, Charlie Brown.

I can't remember to forget you, Charlie Brown.

The fact that Mattel - which now owns the IP - moved on developing Magic 8 Ball and ViewMaster movies before Dinosaurs With Fucking Laser Guns is straight up corporate malpractice

Anybody who knows me knows I've long advocated that leaving DINO-RIDERS in IP Neverland is leaving gold in the ground
