“Absolutely.” I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Sam Kieth. His style was harsh, delicate, bizarre, it was all the things. So rich and unique you can spot it a mile away. He showed us that even when the world tells you otherwise, being different is okay. More than okay, it’s imperative. RIP

This is a truly fine piece of writing.

Sam Kieth Cover to Nemesis, the Warlock #1 from Quality Comics

Comics does this thing where there’s either a happy ending or a bad ending, and Sam Kieth showed that sometimes things just end. It’s a concept that shaped me from a young age how I read comics as a piece of personal fiction, and the importance of messy growth.

Brunch in Toronto at Gusto 101. More than makes up for my bad sleep.

Desperately sad news about Sam Keith, one of the true masters of American comics. He'll be remembered very fondly, a unique, vibrant and challenging talent.

Sleep last night was interrupted by a 5:15AM fire alarm. Somehow I managed to get a few more hours sleep; @iamatrex.com wasn't so lucky but still managed to make her scheduled game. It's such a rainy morning I think I'll go have a lazy brunch and bring my book.

every time I open my dropbox folder this fucking picture with its filename starting with 0 is the first thing I see. he is my goddamn digital tulpa

Hey #Desiwatch pals, I’m looking to branch out from my mostly-Hindi film experience; can anyone recommend some good Telegu, Malayalam, or other-language films I should seek out? I like a broad genre spectrum so I’m willing to try anything.

Just watched NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE for the second time this week, this time in Toronto. Hearing the locals talk about it afterwards in the lobby was great; one man said “It made me appreciate Toronto.”

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

LIsten: maybe when Clark Kent was four or five, his Ma gave him an old pair of glasses and said "Let's play a game. When we wear these, we don't set the house on fire with our eyes. We don't fly the cows back to the barn. We don't kick tree stumps out of the ground. Know what we can do? Canning."

Even with this warning I didn’t believe the mascot could look as bad as it does.

Chuck Norris was a homophobe, a birther, and a gun nut. Just FYI.

Yeah, the internet jokes were some of the first and some of them were stupid funny for the time (Also Karate Commandos exists lol) but Chuck Norris — the actual person and not the meme — sucked.

Fifteen years ago I visited my brother in Toronto, and he took me to Mother’s Dumplings. Easily the best meal of my trip. Today I went back (without him, sadly, as he has long since moved). It was better than I remembered.

How almost brave of him

Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.

Just passed a man on the street who’s doing a karaoke version of Steppenwolf at full amplification and just sang: “BOOOORN TO BE A CUUUUUUNT!”

We're just $5K away from unlocking our next stretch goal, FOUR new Odyssey tapes! “Happy Jack 01 Meet Happy Jack”, “Affirmations 03 Attic Sounds?” “Astral 010 She Is Watching This (Us?)”, and “Neighborly Living 04 Cooking for the Bereaved Pure-White Irony.” www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

“Did you see how upset she was…?” Man, fuck these cops, fuck their lawyer, and all power to Afroman.

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

Your human flourishing is not even an afterthought in the capitalist system, it is an impediment. Everything that you love is held together by pure luck and a huge MASH unit keeping everyone stitched together just enough so they can go to work.

I'm not sure that people realize that the workers who help with the actual important things in life - child care, education, health care, human services - are all criminally underpaid and being regularly asked by funders to do more with less, even as they work themselves raw due to staff shortages.

Saw NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE tonight in a theatre (half-)full of people and we all laughed our asses off. I’ve never seen the web series or TV show and found it accessible, joyful, and hilarious.

Man look at this photo of Toshiro Mifune this is out of control

Civilisation has been in a moral and artistic nosedive ever since they made it possible to play as Bowser in Mariokart, and win races for evil

It's not trans people ruining your life. It's not immigrants. It's billionaires.

It really is this over and over

Everybody always insisting Charlie Brown didn’t have hoes are just helping those weirdos in his neighborhood bully him. Curtis, on the other hand, knows what’s real comicskingdom.com/curtis/2022-...

My official statement about Edmonton’s Police Chief’s decision to travel to Israel.

I have a million thoughts on this but Nina is wrestling here with a generational shift where people are increasingly looks to art for moral affirmation and that is a tricky place to be!
