Back on Sat., Sept. 8, 2018, at @granitecon.bsky.social I took this photo of @momochicosplays.bsky.social as Doctor Strange. #doctorstrangecosplay #mcucosplay #cosplayphotography #granitestatecomicon

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

The move from the Ivy League to the Vichy League looks like it's on track. #nocooperationwithfascists #fuckcornell

AIrb. What's that? My new acronym to replace "AI" in any product or service. It stands for "Artificial Intelligence research based-" because these commercial products are based on research done by computer scientists on artificial intelligence. Which they know is not yet intelligent, despite hype.

I don't ever use a streaming service, so I only discover new acts from live performances posted to YouTube. Found IDLES and Wet Leg from different Glastonbury years. And now Nova Twins, from their Tiny Desk Concert. "Pedal nerds" indeed. #novatwins youtu.be/EiOiWE8p-IE

On this year's Rhode Island Comic Con weekend let's jump back a decade to Sat., Nov. 7, 2015, at Rhode Island Comic Con with @thehoekage.bsky.social and @cosplaydad.bsky.social as Hope Van Dyne and Hank Pym from Ant-Man. #ant-mancosplay #ricc2025 #cosplatphotography

Full circle

Come for the excellent takedown of garbage thinking, stay for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed vagina chart graphic. And the great presentation, cool knowledge dump, etc.

How does she have standing? Or, can anybody petition SCOTUS to change one of its previous rulings? The fact that this petition is even being discussed makes no sense to me.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

From Sun., Oct. 6, 2019, at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social we have @chocobobutt.bsky.social as Medieval Uraraka Ochako from My Hero Academia. #urarakacosplay #ochakocosplay #mhacosplay #newyorkcomiccon #cosplayphotography

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Door - ass - yada, yada.

As many have said, labeling rooms is what families of dementia patients have to do around the house to keep grandpa from walking into the wrong room.

No, no - it stands for Trump's Cognitive Operational Slump.

I think this needs clarification - focused on the cost of everyday life for everyone. No exclusions based on race, religion, gender or sexuality. Without that part of the message, this is just more centrist pandering.

Jumping back to Sat., Oct. 5, 2019, at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social we have @teddysher.bsky.social as a Halloween version of D.Va, based on concept art, not an actual skin as far as I can tell. Can't find the artist to credit, alas. #overwatchcosplay #dvacosplay #newyorkcomiccon

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Maybe just a bit more than a wee dram of the Glenlivet 14 to celebrate this moment for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and for democracy in general. "Hope is alive" indeed. #zohranfornyc

On Friday, Oct. 4, 2019, I took this photo of @uncannyalice.bsky.social as Taron Egerton as Elton John from the movie Rocketman. The first of two cosplayers in this costume from that movie I photographed that day at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social. #eltonjohncosplay #rocketmancosplay

No snark, just 25 years too late.

Dio Brando has endorsed Cuomo.

Going back to Sat., May 3, 2013, on Free Comic Book Day at @dmcomics.bsky.social we have @thejessicamercy.bsky.social as Emma Frost. #emmafrostcosplay #xmencosplay #freecomicbookday #cosplayphotography

If "I regret not shooting up my high school" was a fashion choice.

Meanwhile, in South Korea: "Starting at the end of November, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. This obligation applies not only to newly constructed parking lots but also to existing ones." cm.asiae.co.kr/en/article/2...

Three dreams last night seemingly in the same setting - a world where advanced tech is run on magic not electricity. But personal magic, not utility scale like Walter Jon Williams' "Metropolitan" - or the ecchi anime "I Couldn't Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job."

Great news, since my mom suffered from AMD. (Not-so-fun aside, they didn't tell her that the injections caused low-light hallucinations, and she thought she was going insane.) Imagine if our country was still going full tilt on mRNA vaccines. /sigh/

Probably wishes he had a buddy with a private island right about now.

I bought that Daredevil and Silver Surfer, and maybe the Magnus Robot Fighter. I really liked that comic, but it didn't always show up in my small-town spinner or magazine racks.

Jules: Bangin' a dude, and givin' a dude a hug with hairplay ain't even the same fuckin' thing. Vincent: It's the same ballpark. Jules: Ain't no fuckin' ballpark neither, ain't even the same sport. Vincent: Your wife let you give a lady friend that kinda hug? Jules: Vincent: 🤨 Jules: fuck you

As a SNAP recipient I hope this comes true. My guess is that either the Chancellor will ignore it or appeal to the SCOTUS which will side with him.

I just got my early access invite to upgrade to Alex+. While it is clear from the new features (and the articles about it) that it is driven by an LLM Chatbot, the email never uses the term "AI." That's how to do it folks. Sell me on features, not a marketing buzzword. www.wired.com/story/alexa-...

Found the perfect Halloween costume for @miniminuteman.bsky.social.

Going way back to Friday, Aug. 31, 2013, and this photo from @dragoncon.org of @soloroboto.bsky.social and Kit Quinn as King Leonidas and Queen Gorgo from the movie 300. #300cosplay #leonidascosplay #gorgocosplay #spartancosplay #cosplayphotography #dragoncon2013

I'm as white redneck as they get. Like, Mayflower ancestor white. We called my dad's cousin Uncle Norm and his wife Aunt Eleanor. Hell, we called people unrelated Aunt and Uncle because they were as close as family to my dad. This is both racist and inaccurate.

The Aleve has kicked in so my left knee that I dropped on when I slipped on wet concrete is now a dull throb and no longer breath-sucking pain. No real injury, it works fine, which at my age and weight is a miracle.

Jumping back to Friday, March 30, 2018, at @animeboston.bsky.social, to when I took this photo of @lovelessxspirit.bsky.social as Diane from The Seven Deadly Sins. #dianecosplay #sevendeadlysinscosplay #animeboston2018 #cosplayphotography

When I was 13, I only bought the last two issues, for no discernible reason I can fathom.

It was back on Friday, March 29, 2024, at @animeboston.bsky.social that I took my first and so far only photos of @sicophant.bsky.social, here as Satsuki from Kill la Kill in her armored form. #satsukicosplay #killlakillcosplay #animeboston2024 #cosplayphotography

Stolen Holler

Sticking with the edge of the abyss weekend, from Saturday, Feb. 28, 2020, at @officialpax.bsky.social East we have @dawndaniels.bsky.social as KDA Ahri. #ahricosplay #kdaahricosplay #kdacosplay #paxeast #cosplayphotography

Yeah - by Platner. Again, at the most charitable, by the time he was done with the Marines and Blackwater he must have known what his Nazi tattoo meant, and chose to leave it until the press found out.

Zero chill. I love it. I do hope they have lots of security cameras though, to catch the tools behind the tons of toilet paper and pumpkins that will definitely be thrown.

RIP to the talent behind one of best worst person portrayals I have ever seen. The perfect foil to Cleese's staggering incompetence in Basil.

Jumping back to a time just before our innocence was shattered by a virus, Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020, at @officialpax.bsky.social East, and @nimbus-grey.bsky.social as Huntress from the movie Birds of Prey. #huntresscosplay #birdsofpreycosplay #paxeast #cosplayphotography
